Reliance Jio in 2018: What to Expect from India’s Fastest-Growing Carrier

Honor View 10 arriving internationally January 8th, Honor 7X Red Model coming to U.S.

At a press conference during the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Honor, an offshoot of smartphone maker Huawei, announced that the Honor View 10 will head to new territories starting January 8. It’ll precede the launch of a limited-edition Honor 7X Red, which will hit U.S., U.K., and international shores in the coming weeks.

Starting January 8, the Honor View 10 will go on sale in India, U.K., France, Germany, Italy, and Spain from HiHonor. It’ll be available in Malaysia and Russia in late January, Huawei said.

The View 10’s specs are nothing to scoff at. It has a metal unibody and a 5.99-inch FullView Full HD+ resolution (2160×1080) 18:9 display. Under the hood, the handset packs an octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 970 system-on-chip (four ARM Cortex-A73 cores paired with four ARM Cortex-A53 cores) with an i7 co-processor and a dedicated NPU (Neural Processing Unit), and 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage (plus a microSD card slot). All of it’s powered by a 3,750mAh battery that can charge from 0 to 50 percent in as little as half an hour, thanks to Huawei’s Super Charge 22.5W fast charging technology.

Those aren’t the View 10’s only highlights. Its dual rear 16MP+20MP cameras, the former of which has a f/1.8 aperture and phase detection autofocus, support video recording up to 4K. And both the dual cameras and its front-facing 13MP camera leverage the Kirin 970’s NPU for real-time and object recognition, which automatically choose the ideal camera settings for any given environment.

Rounding out the View 10’s hardware is a USB Type-C port, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.2, 4G VoLTE, and NFC, plus a front-facing fingerprint sensor and 3.5mm headphone jack.

In terms of software, the View 10 ships with Android 8.0 Oreo with Honor’s Emotion UI (EMUI) on top, and a special version of Microsoft Translator that’s optimized for Kirin 970. Huawei says the chip speeds up translation by 500 percent.

A limited edition Honor 7X Red will launch in the U.S., Russia, India, U.K., France, Germany, Italy, and Spain ahead of Valentine’s Day, Huawei said. It’ll go on sale at HiHonor later this year, and the first 100 buyers in each country will get a pair of red co-branded Honor-Monster AM15 headphones at no extra charge, courtesy Huawei’s newly forged partnership with peripherals maker Monster.

The Honor 7X’s hardware is no less impressive than the View 10’s. It has an anodized aluminum unibody and 2.5D curved glass, and a 5.93-inch FullView (2160×1080) display with an 18:9 aspect ratio.

In terms of internals, the Honor 7X sports an octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 659 system-on-chip (four Cortex-A53 cores running at 2.36GHz and four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.7GHz) paired with 3GB/4GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB of internal storage (and microSD card slot), depending on the model. It’s got a 3,340mAh battery with support for fast charging, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, Bluetooth 4.1, and Wi-Fi 802.11ac. And a 8MP front-facing camera and a dual rear camera module make up the phone’s optics, the latter of which comprises a 16MP RGB sensor with phase detection autofocus (PDAF) and a 2MP depth-sensing sensor.

On the software front, the Honor 7X ships with Android Nougat-based EMUI 5.1, but it’ll get an upgrade to EMUI 8.0 and Android Oreo in the first quarter of 2018, Huawei says.

Google Reportedly Paying Apple $9 Billion to Remain Default iOS Search Option

Image
It’s widely known that Google pays Apple a certain amount of money on a semi-regular basis to make sure that it remains the default search engine option on iOS devices. It has been said in the past that iOS devices equal about 50 percent of Google’s search revenue on mobile devices, so it’s imperative to the company to keep that spot on Apple’s devices. Before the end of 2017 it was reported that Apple was getting upwards of $3 billion from Google to secure that spot. But now, more than a year later from that report, it sounds like the company may be paying a lot more to Apple. Business Insider is reporting information shared by analyst Rod Hall that states Google is now paying $9 billion this year to retain its default situation on iOS devices. What’s more, Hall actually thinks that number will increase by next year, and Google could be paying Apple for those default rights to the tune of $12 billion. Hall also echoes those earlier reports, saying ““Apple is one of the biggest chann

How to Get iPhone XS Depth Effect Control On iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone 7 Plus

The iPhone XS and iPhone XR have a brand new feature. After you click a Portrait Mode photo, you can go into the Edit menu and change the intensity of the bokeh. Basically, you can change the background blur (make it softer or more pronounced) after you’ve already clicked the photo. Apple is touting this as one of the best new features in iPhone XS . But you can get it on iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus and even the iPhone 7 Plus using a third party app. The new depth effect sensor in iPhone XS blurs photos different parts of the background at a different rate. So the effect you get is similar to that on DSLR. This is not the same as what phones like Pixel 2 do. Since the app in question requires depth data to work, it will not work on iPhones with a single camera at the rear like the iPhone 6, iPhone 7, or the iPhone 8. How to Edit Background Blur in Photos on iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone 7 Plus The app in question is called Focos and we’re big fans of the app. The app made it to our b

Facebook Uses Your 2FA Phone Number for Targeted Advertising

Image
Being stalked from one website to another by persistent advertising is a real issue, but some companies, like Apple, have made strides to try and reduce its impact . But targeted advertising isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, especially if Facebook has any say in the matter. The company has recently confirmed that it does indeed go to some pretty great lengths to provide information to advertisers, with this latest effort definitely one of the social networking giant’s worst. A couple of days ago, Gizmodo ran a piece that outlined how Facebook uses the phone number some users added to take advantage of two factor authentication as a way to target those same individuals with ads. This is an extension of how Facebook already handles phone numbers saved to the platform’s profiles. How it works normally is if you add your phone number to your Facebook profile, and then add your phone number to some online retailer’s online presence, those two sources can match and be used to target advert
