If you have a spare US$ 4,510, then you can get yourself a limited edition Gold Apple iPhone X. In fact, this could be your only chance to buy a golden iPhone X, as the official iPhone X is only available in Grey and White colour only.

For the hefty price that you are paying for the device, you are not just getting an ordinary gold iPhone. Instead, you are getting an iPhone with 24-carat gold plating. In fact, these are the first set Caviar to feature Apple logo on the back.

Caviar is a luxury smartphone brand, which changes the external looks and aesthetics of Apple products. The company is known for customised iPhones and Apple Watches.

There are two versions of Caviar’s Gold iPhone X. One can choose between “classic gold” and “liquid gold”. The classic gold version retails for US$ 4,510 and the liquid gold version retails for US$ 4,805.

The small bezels mean there is no physical home button, which is now replaced with gestures for navigation. Siri is activated by pressing the now larger lock/unlock button. The iPhone X is also IP67 certified for water and dust resistance, and wireless charging. The phone runs iOS 11.1 and is powered by a 3,000 mAh battery.

The iPhone X has dual 12-megapixel rear cameras, and it’s equipped with dual optical image stabilization. The sensors are both larger and faster, according to Apple, and the main camera is equipped with a wide angle lens and has an f/1.8 aperture while the secondary telephoto lens has an f/2.4 aperture.

Huawei P20 Pro Official Cases Leaked

Huawei is all set to launch the P20 series of smartphones on the 27th of March in France. In our previous Huawei P20 story, we explained about the new colour combinations used for the Huawei P20 Pro and P20 Lite. Similarly, a new leak has surfaced online, which showcases the official case renders of Huawei P20 Pro.

The leaked case renders comes in multiple colours including Black, Pink and Gold, and Blue. One thing that caught our attention is the View Cover. The View Cover looks like a specially designed Flip-case, which has a half transparent-front to display time, date and weather. In fact, this is similar to the always on display found on the Samsung Galaxy smartphones. The active display confirms that the smartphone will have an OLED display.

Specifications of Huawei P20 Pro

The smartphone is expected to have a 6 inch 2880 x 1440 px OLED display with a notch on the top. Under the hood, the smartphone will be powered by the Kirin 970 chipset with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. In fact, the smartphone is expected to support native face unlock algorithm similar to the iPhone X.

The device is also expected to offer a wide range of AI capabilities, which is expected to improve the smartphone photography.

The smartphone is likely to house a triple lens primary camera setup with RGB + wide angle + telephoto lens combination. On to the front, the smartphone is likely to have dual camera setup. In fact, the dual front-facing camera can aid the facial recognition system as well.

Specifications of Huawei P20

The phone is expected to have a 6 inch 2160 x 1080 px IPS LCD display with a notch on the top. Under the hood, the smartphone will be powered by the Kirin 970 chipset with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. However, we might also see a plus version with OLED display and 8GB RAM.

The smartphone is likely to house a dual lens primary camera setup with RGB + wide angle lens combination. On to the front, the smartphone is likely to have dual camera setup. In fact, the dual front-facing camera can aid the facial recognition system as well.

Specifications of Huawei P20 Lite

The smartphone is expected to have a 6 inch display with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution. Under the hood, it will have the HiSilicon Kirin 970 chipset along with 4GB or 6GB of RAM. However, as this is a Lite edition, we expect the company to go with a Kirin 600 series chipset, instead of Kirin 970.

While the smartphone will be thin, it is expected to house a big battery that will support SuperCharge. The Huawei P20 Lite is expected to have a 16 MP + 2 MP primary camera setup and a 16 MP front-facing camera.

Aadhaar Linking With Phone Numbers/Bank Accounts Not Mandatory

Supreme court has extended the timeline to update Aadhaar details indefinitely. The new order from SC says that “The government cannot insist for mandatory Aadhaar even for the issuance of Tatkal passport.”

Ignore any messages from your telecom operators to link Aadhaar with your mobile number. Similarly, also ignore messages and calls from e-wallet services and banks, regarding the linking of Aadhar.

The interim order from SC also says that Aadhaar is still mandatory to receive govt subsidies. However, this will depend on the five-judge bench which will consider the different petitions, that challenges the constitutional validity of Aadhar.

What is Aadhaar?

Aadhar, the unique identification number allotted and maintained by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). Similarly, it is the largest database of private information including fingerprints, and iris scans of billions of Indians. The database also includes pictures, addresses and private information of all the individuals registered on the database.

Security frailty of Aadhaar

130 Million records of the Aadhaar number were reportedly breached in Q1 of 2017, while UIDAI had claimed that they had rectified the breach. The data of this leak was already out on the Internet, available as access records for the millions of accounts.

A journalist claims to have bought access to a User Name and Password that allowed him unrestricted access to details of the more than 1 billion Aadhaar numbers. This was provided in less than 10 minutes over a WhatsApp chat, after a PayTM transfer of a mere Rs. 500.

Five Hidden Features of Android 8 Oreo

Android 8 Oreo is the latest mobile operating system from Google. The new iteration introduced features like notification dot, app shortcuts, and a smart text selection. In terms of UI, the OS looks similar to Android 7 Nougat. However, there are additional features that have gone unnoticed on Android 8 Oreo.

Here are the top five hidden features of Android 8 Oreo. However, these features are only available on smartphones that run on stock Android OS.

Clearing phone’s storage

For this task, most of us depend on an external application. Though multimedia files consume the majority of the storage space, app cache and other files consume a certain amount of space, which are not visible on a standard file manager. Go to storage in the settings option and press on the blue icon, that says free up some space. Bam, your device will remove the unwanted files to clear the storage space.

System UI tuner

This one is one of our favourite hidden features. In fact, this feature was originally launched in Android Marshmallow. The system UI tuner gives an additional control over the look and feel of the Android operating system. To enable system UI tuner, open your notification shade, tap and hold the gear icon until it starts vibrating. Using this feature, you can add or remove the app icons like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Battery.

Turn on Wi-Fi automatically

Updating apps on a cellular network requires a lot of mobile data. Instead, make your smartphone to connect to an open Wi-Fi whenever it is available. To enable this, go to Settings, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi preferences and enable the first option. Similarly, enable the third option if you want to get notifications about the availability of open Wi-Fi networks.

Autofill

Remembering various passwords for different applications is a cumbersome processor. However, the Android 8 Oreo has a solution for this. Go to Settings>System > Languages & input > Advanced > Autofill service and select Autofill with Google. This feature will prompt to remember your password and for the next time, it autofill the username and password on the specific application.

Snooze notifications

Notifications are the best part of Android OS. However, when you are in a middle of a meeting, those notifications might just annoy you. With Android 8 Oreo you can snooze the notification for a fixed time period. Swipe from left to right and click on the time amount of time, that you want to snooze the notification. However, one can only choose between 15 minutes, 1 hours, or 2 hours of snooze time.

Android 8 Oreo For Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 Brings iPhone X Like Gestures
Launched back in October of 2017, the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 succeeded the 2016 bezel-less device, Mi MIX. It followed a similar design language with thin bezels and a thick chin to house the front camera. But, like almost every other Xiaomi smartphone, it ran on Android 7 Nougat with MIUI on top. After updating the Mi A1 to Android 8 Oreo, the Mi MIX 2 has also received the stable build for Android 8 Oreo.

Mi MIX 2 Android 8 Oreo Update

The update weighs in at about 1.4GB and should be rolled out to all devices soon. To install the update, you need to charge your Mi MIX 2 first. Then head to Settings>About Phone>System Update. Then download the update and install it.

Full-screen gestures is a highlight feature that has been added. Introduced in a Beta build back in December, the gestures essentially replace the stock buttons for navigation within the UI. We will be testing out the gestures to check how the implementation works with a smartphone Xiaomi Mi MIX 2’s size.

However, users will barely feel the difference after switching to Android 8 Oreo considering how heavily customised MIUI skin is.

Over the years, Xiaomi devices have been deprived of the latest version of Android OS. However, it recently received a lot of plaudits for updating devices as old as 4 years to the latest version of its MIUI skin. Even smartphones like the Redmi 1s Prime and Redmi Note 4 have been updated to MIUI 9 which is commendable. Whether more Xiaomi devices will be added to this list is yet to be seen. But, the signs are good so far.
- 5.99 inch IPS LCD
- 2160 x 1080 px, 18:9 aspect ratio
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 835
- 6GB RAM, 128GB storage
- Android 8 Oreo, MIUI 9
- 12MP f/2.0 Primary Camera
- 5MP Secondary Camera

Top Three File Sharing Apps For Android And iOS
The Bluetooth technology has come a long way but, it is still not the best way to send large files. Users share different file types across different devices, including smartphones, tablets, computers etc. Sometimes, sharing a large sized file like an HD movie over Bluetooth might be cumbersome. So, here are the top three apps that can be used to share files across the devices with the touch of a button.

SHAREit

If you are a smartphone user, then you would have heard this name at least once in your life. SHAREit has been in the file-sharing business from last few years. This application is mainly used to share files between closely located devices (~10 meters). Both the users have to have the application to either send or receive a file. The app supports Android to Android, Android to iOS, iOS to iOS files transfer. This works on the principle of Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Hotspot. Usually, receiving device will create a secure hotspot and the sender has to join the network. The files transfer happens via Wi-Fi with an average data transfer speed of 5 MBPS.
- iOS
- Android
Sendanywhere

At iGyaan, we use sendanywhere application. This is a cross-platform app and connects well with Android, iOS and, macOS in no time. The working procedure is a bit different compared to SHAREit. A user has to select the files, which he is interested in sharing. Then, the application generates a unique 6 digit key, which has to be entered on the receiver’s end. Unlike SHAREit, this even with the remotely located devices. However, both the parties should have an active internet connection to initiate the transfer.
- iOS
- Android
Xender

The working principle behind Xender is similar to SHAREit. However, Xender’s UI looks better than the SHAREit. The applications work on iOS and Android devices. In fact, when you are sharing a file, the app specifically asks to connect to an iPhone. The app comes with different menu buttons, which has an option to select apps, photos, music files, and videos.
- iOS
- Android

Huawei P20 Pro Leaked In “Twilight” Colour Variant
In the post-Galaxy S9 launch time, the Huawei launch event is highly anticipated. The company has already confirmed that the Huawei P20 series of will be unveiled on the 27th of March in France.

Usually, smartphone makers do not play much with the colour variants. In fact, most of the smartphones come in either Black, Grey, or Gold Colour. In 2015, Apple introduced the iPhone 6s in a new Rose Gold colour. While it took a while for people to war down to the colour, it soon became an industry trend, much like the iPhone X’s notch. Even now, after Apple dropped the Rose Gold colour, smartphone makers continue to launch devices in a Pink colour variant.

It looks like, Huawei is planning to set a new trend in the smartphone industry. A batch of leaked renders of the Huawei P20 Pro reveals an interesting colour choice by the company. The Huawei P20 Pro might come in a new “Twilight” colour shade, which has never been seen on any smartphone.

Huawei P20

The colour choice is very bold by Huawei. In a world where smartphones are becoming increasingly similar, very few things separate them. Like the Galaxy S9 and its Lilac Purple variant, the new Twilight Huawei P20 Pro will definitely stand out from the crowd. Even the Huawei P20 will see an unusual colour variant. The leaked renders reveal a dual tone pink-and-gold colour which might seem like a botched photoshop job at first.

Huawei P20 Lite

The P20 Lite, on the other hand, will be available in a colour variant very similar to what we saw with the Honor 9 Lite. It is shiny and very blue but, looks pretty great.

Huawei P20 Pro Specifications:
- 6 inch OLED Display with a notch
- Kirin 970 Chipset

Geekbench, a cross-platform processor benchmarking platform has a new visitor. This time, it is the Samsung Galaxy J8+. The device is expected to have similar specifications as of the Galaxy J8.

One major difference between the Galaxy J8 and the J8+ is the processor. The Galaxy J8 was powered by Exynos 7870 chipset and the J8+ is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset. In fact, the performance of these devices is almost head to head. The Galaxy J8 scores 726 points on single core performance and the J8+ scores 749 points. In terms of multi-core performance, the J8 scores 3643 points and the J8+ scores 3708 points.

Though there is a difference in performance of both devices, these devices will perform identically under day to day usage. However, as Samsung always does the Exynos variant will be highly optimised to get most out of the chipset.

Specifications of Galaxy J8+

The Samsung Galaxy J8+ is expected to have a slightly bigger display, which comes with the model number SM-J805G. Under the hood, the device will have Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 Octa-core chipset with 1.8 GHz clock speed (could be Snapdragon 450) with 4GB RAM and double the storage of the Galaxy J8.

Here’s A List of Samsung Smartphones To Get Android 8 Oreo Update
Android and iOS are the two mobile operating systems that run on most of the smartphones. They do share a bunch of features, yet, they are unique in their own terms. When it comes to OS adoption rate, iOS has an upper hand over Android. In fact, 71.3% of the iOS devices are running on latest iOS 11.2 and less than 1.5% of Android devices are running on Android 8 Oreo. This is not Google’s fault, as Android smartphone makers customise the OS according to their liking. Not only that, the hardware fragmentation also makes it tough to push timely software updates.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

OEMs like Samsung and Xiaomi launches smartphones with custom UI which sits on the top of the Android OS. These custom skins offer additional features, at a cost of slower OS upgrades. In fact, the flagship Samsung Galaxy Note8 is yet to receive the Android 8 Oreo upgrade.

Starting with 2018, Samsung might have taken the issue seriously, as the company has mentioned the list of smartphones that will receive Oreo update on Samsung Canada website.

Samsung Galaxy A8+

List of Samsung smartphones to Receive Android 8 Oreo
- The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ will receive the update by the 18th of March. However, the Beta Android 8 Oreo is available for these models for the past two months
