Huawei P30 Pro’s first update lets third-party notifications show when the screen is off

-

Huawei just updates its photography-centric P-series with the new Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro. While the two devices will be available for pre-order starting April 5, the P30 Pro has already received its first update. The update optimizes the performance of the cameras, in-display fingerprint scanner, audio output, and much more.

At almost 400MB, the EMUI update with build number 9.1.0.124 also fixed a major issue with the Huawei P30 Pro’s Always-on display. It enables notifications third-party applications on the Always on display. This is significant since the Always on display feature on Huawei devices does not show any notification and this applies to both – system and third-party notifications.

The fix can be expected to roll out to other Huawei smartphones which use AMOLED displays and are eligible for the EMUI 9.1 update. Some of the early takers may include Huawei Mate 20 Pro and the P20 Pro. Besides this, the EMUI update also includes Google’s security patch from March 2019.

The update aims to optimize the Huawei P30 Pro “camera performance in certain scenarios” and fixes bugs that would previously affect Swiftkey keyboard or emails with large attachments. It also rectifies the “issue that caused audio and video to go out of sync during playback of Instagram videos recorded in hands-free mode.”

It is exciting to see Huawei push updates even before the commercial availability of the P30 Pro. The smartphone is equipped with stunning cameras, which have been bestowed with the highest DxOMark ratings so far. It features 5X optical zoom using a periscopic lens setup and up to 50X zoom in effect and also uses an RYB (red yellow blue) sensor instead of a traditional RGB sensor to capture more light in images.

The P30 Pro starts at 999 euros ($1,120) and if you’re intrigued by its wowing features, our friends at Pocketnow might help you decide whether it makes for a good purchase or not (spoiler alert: it does!)

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer. That time has come and gone without a peep from Motorola, but a new report claims it’s still coming this year. This information comes from a person close to the company speaking to CNET . It’s unlikely that the device will actually be sold this year, but we should at least see the device before 2020. Motorola has already confirmed that they are working on a foldable smartphone. The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,...

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-
Image
Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
