OnePlus 5T renders leak, pairing rear fingerprint sensor with Galaxy S8 design

OnePlus 5T renders leak, pairing rear fingerprint sensor with Galaxy S8 design







It was recently revealed that the OnePlus 5 is completely out of stock in most markets around the globe, including the US and Europe, prompting the smartphone maker’s CEO, Carl Pei, to admit that demand for the device has been higher than expected. Alongside this news has been increased rumors about a OnePlus 5T, and while solid details remain slim, a pair of images of the supposedly upcoming phone have been leaked on China’s Weibo.


The most noticeable changes are the relocation of the fingerprint sensor from the front of the phone to the rear, in turn allowing for much thinner bezels on the display side and an almost edge-to-edge screen. From the images shown, the OnePlus 5T looks almost exactly like an iPhone 7 from the back (minus the fingerprint sensor), while the front seems to resemble the Galaxy S8.


On the other hand, these could be leaks for an upcoming OnePlus 6, which would debut sometime next year. That would explain why OnePlus has updated the design, and in turn pair the phone with new internal hardware, while not upsetting original OnePlus 5 customers. The trade-off on this, however, is that it’s not clear if the OnePlus 5 will be produced again, meaning users may be in for quite a wait until the OnePlus 6.
The good news is that we won’t have much of a wait to know which is the case, since if this is the OnePlus 5T, an announcement will likely follow in the next few weeks.

5 Andriod apps you shouldn't miss this week!- Andriod Apps Weekly

Welcome to the 211th edition of Android Apps Weekly! Here are the headlines from the last week: Google decided to not play nice  with the new Amazon Echo Show. They pulled YouTube support earlier this week. Google allegedly gave no warning or notification. Google’s return statement indicated that Amazon’s implementation didn’t adhere to the terms of service. In short, the two companies are in a bit of a disagreement. We imagine it won’t take long to resolve. Mozilla Firefox is about to get a lot better  on Android. A bunch of things are changing when version 58 hits the Google Play Store. That includes a faster browsing experience, less RAM usage, a visual redesign, and more. The desktop version is getting a similar makeover.  The company is also killing off  Adobe Flash support in version 56. Twitter is about to double  the tweet character limit from 140 to 280. That means people can be awful to each other twice as much with half of the effort! Seriou...

Reliance Jio voice calls limited to 300 minutes per day? Here’s the reason why Reliance Jio is limiting the number of minutes in voice calls to 300 minutes per day, according to some reports. Jio says the reason for this limit is to avoid potential misuse. This 300 minutes per day has been part of the Jio terms and conditions for some time now. Users would have noticed that Reliance Jio recharge vouchers come with the promise of unlimited voice calls be it local or STD. However, the limit stands at 300 minutes per day for voice calls but only in case of misuse, and this does not include international calls for which users have to purchase separate vouchers. In fact in Jio’s terms and conditions for its recharge plans, the company adds, “ This Plan is intended only for personal use of included services. RJIL reserves the right to discontinue the free Voice benefits offered as part of this Plan in case of misuse/ fraudulent use/ unauthorised telemarketing and comm...

Android 8.0 update: when will you get it?

Android 8.0 update: when will you get it? The Android 8.0 Oreo update brings the next major version of Android to our devices, starting with Google’s own Pixel and Nexus devices. As always we can expect it to take anywhere from a couple of months to more than half a year to appear on phones by the likes of HTC, Samsung, LG, Sony, and Motorola. How soon your phone will get the update depends on a variety of factors: your phone manufacturer’s update track record, how new (and expensive) your phone is, whether your phone is unlocked or carrier-branded, your region, and so on. But, given past performance, we can draw some fairly accurate predictions of when you can expect to get the Android Oreo update on your phone. What follows is broken down into Android OEMs, based on how fast they got both Nougat and Marshmallow out, so just jump to the relevant section to see when the first Android 8.0 update should hit that company’s devices. (Note: As OEMs publicly...
