Galaxy A70 Specifications

The front of the Samsung Galaxy A70 sports a gigantic 6.7 inch Super AMOLED display which is surrounded with minimal bezels. The rear panel of the device is made out of glass that houses the company branding and the triple rear camera setup.

Sony To Exit The Smartphone Business In India, North America Among Other Countries

Japanese electronics giant Sony was once one of the most renowned smartphone makers in the world. In the past, mobile devices from the company boasted of a unique design, innovative camera features and a clean software experience. But, due to the ever-increasing competition from Chinese manufacturers like Huawei, OnePlus and Xiaomi, Sony has not seen much success lately. According to a latest report, the smartphone business by the company is running on losses. Now, in an attempt to curb costs and prevent more loss, Sony has announced it is exiting major markets worldwide including India and North America.

What Does This Mean?

In the annual corporate strategy day on the 21st of March, Sony announced it has selected its areas of focus for smartphones. These countries include Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Europe. The countries that constitute the rest of the world either don’t have a presence of the company’s mobile devices yet or are the ones which have been left out of the focus areas. The latter are referred to as defocussed areas and includes regions like India, Australia, Canada, North America, Africa, The Middle East among others. While reports of the company jumping ship from these markets were rife for a while; it is the first time an official confirmation from Sony has been received.

Along with concentrating on the focussed areas, Sony also plans to cut down its smartphone workforce by half in the next year. This is seen as a cost-cutting measure which may return profits; especially in regions where mobile devices from the company have proven to be popular. With respect to the defocused areas, Sony has planned to withdraw from the sales and marketing of smartphones in the aforementioned regions. All the above changes insinuate that the company is looking forward to implementing major changes with regard to its smartphone business.

OnePlus 7 Pro Software Features To Be Added To Older OnePlus Smartphones

Chinese technology company OnePlus launched the OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 7 Pro in the month of May. Alongside, the company introduced some key updates to its operating system, known as Oxygen OS. The OS has received positive reviews globally due to its simplicity and responsiveness. With the latest update, OnePlus added new features like Zen Mode and Screen Recorder. As per reports, the aforementioned features will make their way to older OnePlus devices, including the OnePlus 6, 6T, 5 and 5T.

Zen Mode And Screen Recorder

Zen Mode is a feature that basically locks a user out of his/her device for 20 minutes. The user will not see/hear any notifications on the device, and at the same time, applications will be unusable as well. The only two features that are accessible is the call application and the camera. In case users decide to turn off Zen Mode before the time period of 20 minutes, they are out of luck, since no workaround will disable Zen Mode. Even restarting the OnePlus 7 Pro doesn’t help, as the Zen Mode timer continues from the same point you left it on.

The screen recorder, on the other hand, allows native recording (in the same number of frames per second) of the screen’s display without any overlay or watermark. Gamers can record their gaming sessions and export them, or users can create how-to videos for conveying specific information. As per reports, some OnePlus users side loaded these two applications into their older devices, which didn’t function as desired. For instance, sound capture was disabled during screen recording and Zen Mode was still allowing notifications to push through.

OnePlus has acknowledged that Zen Mode and Screen Recording will be pushed to older OnePlus devices in the immediate future. The company has also released a statement regarding how users don’t need to sideload the applications since the firmware of older smartphones isn’t designed to support the same.

Huawei’s Replacement For Android, The “Project Z” Is Far From Ready

Earlier this week, it was reported that the United States has put a trade ban on Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei. It meant that no American company can trade with Huawei until granted permission by the government. As a result, the Chinese OEM lost its rights to software like Android, Windows, and hardware from Intel. Now, it is being reported from a credible source that Huawei has been working on a homegrown Operating System (OS) which may replace Android in the future. This OS is being referred to as internally by the name “Project Z”.

Huawei Project Z

Huawei P30 Pro

As mentioned above, the OS that may eventually replace Android on Huawei smartphones and tablets is already in the works. According to reports, this software, codenamed Project Z, has been in development since the last few years. A senior Huawei executive claims it was started just in case the company was barred from using Android in the future. While details about the upcoming software are bleak at best, the source claims it is facing a rough development process. Because of the company’s inexperience in the field so far, the launch of the OS might be delayed. While when it will be announced is anyones guess, a release of later this year is suggested.

With the Project Z operating system, Huawei faces a tougher challenge than it using Android. For an OS to work, support for third-party applications is essential and the company may face a lot of problems convincing developers to get on board. While this issue is less of an importance in China, where Google and its services are banned; it may be a major challenge in markets like Europe and India. Huawei may also end up building its own ecosystem, much like Apple with the upcoming OS if it finds any success globally.
