Oneplus is getting set release its new update in Aug 10



OnePlus HydrogenOS 11, based on Android 11, will be launched on August 10, the company has announced. OnePlus ships its phones with HydrogenOS in China, and with OxygenOS in the rest of the world. Since Google services are not available in China, HydrogenOS comes without apps like Play Store. The release of HydrogenOS means Android 11 is coming to OnePlus phones, and also sets the stage for the OxygenOS 11 rollout in other markets, like India.
OnePlus confirmed that it will be announcing HydrogenOS 11 at 2pm local time (11:30am IST) on August 10 through a Weibo post. Not much is known about the features that will be included in the latest iteration of the operating system. Since it will be based on Android 11 it is safe to say that the OS will bring all the features that will be included in the upcoming iteration of the stable Android OS.


Recently, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau shared an image that showed a clock face with the time set to 11 o'clock, and its caption read “11 ‘on display'”. It was seen as a hint that the Always-on Display (AOD) feature will be brought to OnePlus phones with either an Android 11 update or with an OxygenOS 11 (and HydrogenOS 11) update. In March, the company confirmed that the AOD feature will be rolled out in August or September, the time that coincides with the release of the new Android version.
Reports have suggested OnePlus will roll out other features like fingerprint lock for hidden pictures in the gallery, charge complete notification, app drawer folders, and more features to Zen mode with OxygenOS 11 (HydrogenOS 11). The OxygenOS 11 may be rolled out to smartphones as old as OnePlus 6.

Apple iPhone 12 series to launch in October!!!

As Apple confirmed that its upcoming iPhone 12 series would not launch in September, the iPhone maker is now said to hold the launch event in October. The India availability of new iPhone models in India happens typically a week after they become available in the US.  It should be noted that several industry analysts had earlier predicted that the iPhone models launching in 2020 would get delayed. The tech giant has not specified further details about the delay in the launch. However, Apple's announcement came soon after global chip making giant Qualcomm indicated at a brief delay in the launch of the iPhone 12 line up that could comprise four new models. Akash Palkhiwala, Qualcomm CFO had suggested the delay and said: “a slight delay that pushes some of the units out from the September quarter to the December quarter for us.” iPhone 12 range will be announced on the week commencing October 12 (which might mean an announcement on Tuesday, October 13, since Apple often unveils thin...

Neuralink: Elon Musk unveils pig with chip in its brain

  Elon Musk has unveiled a pig called Gertrude with a coin-sized computer chip in her brain to demonstrate his ambitious plans to create a working brain-to-machine interface. "It's kind of like a Fitbit in your skull with tiny wires," the billionaire entrepreneur said on a webcast. His start-up Neuralink applied to launch human trials last year. The interface could allow people with neurological conditions to control phones or computers with their minds. Mr.Musk argues such chips could eventually be used to help cure conditions such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, and spinal cord injuries. But the long-term ambition is to usher in an age of what Mr.Musk calls "superhuman cognition", in part to combat artificial intelligence so powerful he says it could destroy the human race. Elon Musk reveals brain-hacking plans Gertrude was one of three pigs in pens that took part in Friday's webcast demo. She took a while to get going, but when she ate and sniffed ...

Safari to support password-less logins

Safari 14, the version of Apple’s browser that will ship with iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur, will let you use Face ID or Touch ID to log in to websites built to support the feature. The functionality was confirmed in the browser’s beta release notes, and Apple has detailed how the feature works in a WWDC video for developers. The functionality is built on the Web Authn component of the FIDO2 standard, developed by the FIDO Alliance. It should make logging into a website as easy as logging into an app secured with Touch ID or Face ID.WebAuthn is an API that aims to make web logins simpler and more secure. Unlike passwords, which are often easily guessed and vulnerable to phishing attacks, WebAuthn uses public key cryptography and can use security methods like biometrics or hardware security keys to verify your identity. It’s a standard that individual websites need to add support for, but being supported by the stock browser in iOS has the potential to be a major boost for adoption.This isn’...
