Image
HMD Global promised to upgrade the Nokia 8 to the latest Android version, 9.0 Pie, before the end of 2018 and we now see the first piece of evidence that the OTA update is just around the corner. It comes in the form of a Geekbench listing. As you can see, the listing says that the 4GB RAM version Nokia 8 runs on Android 9.0 Pie, which in turn means that the company is already testing the handset with the new software version. We hope it will come sooner because Juho Sarvikas promised cool new features coming along. Those include ARCore support, new UI revamp, navigation gestures... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2KJEDjC via IFTTT

OnePlus 3/3T gains support for Type-C Bullets with latest update

Image
OnePlus just pushed a minor update for its old OnePlus 3 and 3T smartphones. The OTA update bumps up the OxygenOS version to 5.0.7, squashes some bugs and brings Google's November security patch. However, the most important bit about it is the added support for OnePlus' Type-C Bullets Earphones. Up until now, OnePlus 3 and 3T couldn't output audio through their USB-C connectors. Unfortunately, the changelog doesn't say anything about third-party USB-C headphones, but we assume those are supported too. To test them out, we've plugged in the OnePlus Type-C Bullets into a OnePlus 3... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2BD1MBm via IFTTT

Red Honor 8X now available in India

Image
The Honor 8X's Red color version went official alongside the Black and Blue ones, but it's only now that you are actually able to buy it in India. The Red model is now on sale through Amazon India, priced the same as the other two options - at INR 14,999 (€190).
