The LineageOS team has extended LineageOS 19 support to a wide range of devices since the ROM was released earlier this year. Now the team of this popular custom ROM has added support for six other Android smartphones manufactured by Sony and Xiaomi.
According to what was reported by the specialized portal GalaxyClub.nl, Samsung has already started preparing the beta of Android 13 for its most recent flagships, namely the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphones.
This could indicate that the beta program, this year, could start one or even two months earlier than in previous years, opening the scenarios to an early arrival even of the definitive ROMs, at least on the exponents of the Galaxy S22 series. Montblanc, a well-known manufacturer of watches, jewelry, leather goods and writing instruments, is about to launch the new Montblanc Summit 3 smartwatch, which will arrive on July 15 and will not be cheap at all.
The product will most likely be the first non-Samsung smartwatch to hit the market with Wear OS 3, currently the latest version of Google's wrist-based operating system. Google relaunched local file sharing via Bluetooth in 2020 with Nearby Share, but this feature will soon be given further visibility in Android 13, as it will allow users to access it immediately after copying to the clipboard.
Sony has yet to launch a sensor for smartphones with a resolution of at least 100 megapixels but, according to the latest rumors, the Japanese giant is already working on a solution of this type.
The popular leaker Digital Chat Station is convinced of this, to say of which Sony would have decided not to aim at the market of top-of-the-range devices for its first 100 megapixel sensor, turning instead to that of medium-high-end devices. The front camera of the non-Ultra Samsung Galaxy models has been 10MP since 2019, but now it appears that Samsung is planning a significant selfie camera upgrade for the upcoming Galaxy S23 range.
According to reports from GalaxyClub, Samsung is considering the possibility of equipping the Galaxy S23 and S23 + smartphones with a front camera with a 12 MP sensor. BRATA malware is back in the limelight again and is even more dangerous than last time. The bad guys behind the Android malware have introduced new things in an attempt to make it more sneaky and stealthy in its attacks on financial apps.
Apart from the Xiaomi 12 Ultra, which is expected to be launched next month, the company is also working on two other high-end phones. The 12S and 12S Pro are the devices in question, with the former appearing on Geekbench and even in a hands-on shot.
Among the many innovations that Android 13 will bring with it there is also the possibility of allowing a device of the Google Pixel series to manage files larger than 4 GB in the phone memory for the first time.
To discover the introduction of exFAT (Extensible File Allocation Table) support was Mishaal Rahman, who in the transition from Android 12L to Android 13 Beta noticed this welcome change on his Google Pixel 6 Pro. In the last two weeks, users of the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 smartwatch in selected markets have been able to test the first beta version of the One UI Watch 4.5 interface which, among other things, introduced new dials, but also some problems such as high energy consumption.
Now Samsung is rolling out the second update with firmware version R8xxXXU1ZVF5 for beta testers in the US and South Korea. |
