Last week OnePlus finally outed the first beta build of Android 9 Pie for its smartphones from 2017, the 5 and 5T. And now the company is rolling out a new beta release for the duo, arriving as OxygenOS Open Beta 23 or 21, depending on which device you have. This is going out to the people who have joined the OnePlus beta track. If you've already flashed the previous Open Beta, you will receive the new build as an over-the-air update. Alternatively, if you'd like to switch from stable Oreo to this release, follow the instructions on this page - but keep in mind that these builds may not be... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2A8SbRs via IFTTT

Google has posted a new ad for the holidays, and this one is all about Google Assistant. And specifically, how Macaulay Culkin's role in the Home Alone movies would've been made much easier had the virtual assistant existed at that point. That said, the movies themselves surely would have been much more boring as a consequence. Take a look for yourself: For a limited time, the Assistant has these Home Alone easter eggs available: - Hey Google, how much do I owe you? - Hey Google, did I forget something? - Hey Google, the Wet Bandits are here. - Hey Google, it's me Snakes.

If you were wondering what OnePlus' 5G phone or the OnePlus 7 are going to look like, we may now have the answer. The image you can see below has been leaked today, and it's a shot from an internal company meeting, with OnePlus CEO Pete Lau attending. The employee who took the picture surely risks being fired for this. Anyway, as you can see, the design of the back is a pretty big departure from OnePlus' recent phones, with a huge circular camera island.

The (in)famous Nokia 9 PureView is still vaporware at the moment, but that might change soon - either at CES in January or MWC in February. Three versions of it have just been certified by the Bluetooth SIG, a prerequisite step for the launch of any new smartphone. They have the model numbers TA-1082, TA-1087, and TA-1094. The last one of those has also been spotted at other certification bodies in the past, such as 3C and MIIT, so the Nokia 9 is certainly on its way to the market - even if it seems to be taking its sweet time getting there.

Apple's newest non-Pro iPad, the 9.7-inch model launched in March this year, can now be yours for the lowest price we've ever seen.

Not only do you save $100, but at $229 this is an amazing deal that isn't to be missed if you're looking for a very capable tablet that won't break the bank. It's also compatible with the first generation Apple Pencil. The slate comes with Apple's A10 Fusion chip, 2GB of RAM, a Retina Display, and a 32.4 Wh battery.

The Nokia 8 is finally ready to taste Android Pie. HMD Global has started rolling out the update to all units today. This is the stable release, following a beta build that was outed around a week or so ago. It looks like no huge bugs were found in that one, or at least nothing that couldn't be fixed quickly. This update has been a very long time coming. At some point we even heard a rumor that the company was intentionally delaying it, after having missed its initial deadline of releasing it in November.

Remember the Xiaomi Redmi Pro? It may finally be getting a sequel as teasers have started cropping up on Weibo, one of which points to the Snapdragon 675 as the chipset of choice. Even more interestingly, this may be the Redmi with a 48MP camera that Xiaomi has been teasing lately. That one has also been connected to the S675 chip and rumors suggest a punch hole for the selfie. Xiaomi Redmi Pro 2 teasers This would be a fitting sequel as the original Redmi Pro had a 10-core chipset and and Xiaomi's first dual camera.

Almost 700 clergymen in Illinois have been accused of child sexual assault, a far greater number than the Catholic Church had previously disclosed, the Midwestern US state's top prosecutor revealed Wednesday. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan said the Church's revelations that 185 clergy members were credibly accused of sexual abuse fell short of the number her office has uncovered. The preliminary results of an investigation that began in August found more than 500 additional priests and clergy members with sexual abuse allegations in the Midwestern state's six dioceses -- a total of at least 685 accused. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2T0jq7R via Latest News

As thousands of passengers waited at Gatwick Airport, south of London, police hunted unsuccessfully for the operators of the large drones which reappeared near the airfield every time the airport tried to reopen the runway. "The assessment earlier on today was that we wouldn't be using firearms," Detective Chief Superintendent Jason Tingley said late on Thursday. "This is continually reviewed so you will know and have seen that we have firearm officers deployed." Europe's air traffic control agency Eurocontrol said the airport would remain closed until 0600 GMT on Friday. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2PTLsQm via Latest News

A third Canadian citizen has been detained in China following the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver.  A spokesperson for Global Affairs Canada said on Tuesday that they are “aware of a Canadian citizen” who has been taken into custody in China. An anonymous official later briefed that the department had "reason to believe that this case is linked to other recent cases of Canadians detained in China" Nevertheless there was speculation that the move was retaliation for the arrest of Ms Meng, who is facing extradition to the US. David Mulroney, a former ambassador to China, said it would be highly unusual if the third arrest was a coincidence.  "One detention is bad enough. Two is terrible. Three underlines how ruthless China can be," he told AFP. Ms Meng's arrest has been seen as politically motivated as it comes amid hightened security tensions between the US and China, and accusations that Huawei is a vehicle for state spyi...

British police were Friday considering shooting down the drone that has grounded flights and caused chaos at London's Gatwick Airport, with passengers set to face a third day of disruption. Police and airport authorities believe the drone is being flown in a deliberate act to disrupt the airport at one of the busiest times of year, leaving tens of thousands of passengers stranded just days before Christmas. "We will do what we can to take that drone out of the sky and remove that disruption so we can get Gatwick back to normal," Detective Chief Superintendent Jason Tingley said, despite earlier concerns that shooting the drone would be dangerous due to the danger of stray bullets. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2V1d2Pm via Latest News

New Zealand warned Google to "take responsibility" for its news content on Wednesday, after the internet giant broke a court order suppressing the name of a man charged with murdering a British backpacker. Jesse Kempson, 26, has been charged with the murder of Grace Millane, a 22-year-old from Essex who was last seen alive in Auckland on December 1. A week later, her body was found in the Waitakere Ranges 10 metres away from the road. The defendant's name is not allowed to be published in New Zealand. The judge refused  to grant a suppression order, but the media are not allowed to name him because the accused sought to appeal. But Google revealed his identity in an email to subscribers of its "what’s trending in New Zealand?" service. Justice Minister Andrew Little said the breach was unacceptable and he had made his views known to Google executives at a meeting in parliament on Tuesday night. While Google has argued the breach was inadvertent and it was unawar...
