Samsung starts rolling out Android Pie for the Galaxy J4/J4+, Galaxy J6+

-

Traditionally, Samsung had been among the laggards in terms of the latest software update. But over the last one year, the situation has improved a lot and Samsung has been pushing the latest One UI update based on Android 9.0 Pie to not only its flagships but also some mid-range devices. Now, three more Samsung smartphones from the budget and the mid-range segments are getting a taste of Pie. With the One UI update, the Samsung Galaxy J4/J4+ and Galaxy J6 will get improvements to the user experience, notifications, Samsung Keyboard, Bixby, as well as the overall performance.

In case of each of the smartphone, the update weighs around 1200MB, which feel justified considering that the update brings a whole new visual experience compared to the earlier Samsung Experience UI. Among the major changes, the interactive elements are moved to the bottom half of the screen so that users do not have to struggle while using their Samsung smartphones with a single hand. Besides this shake-up, items in Settings have also been reorganized for more intuitive usage.

Additionally, the update brings a simplified way to quickly reply to all notifications directly from the notifications shade. Images from the incoming notifications are also visible in the form of thumbnails. Besides, there are some changes to the Samsung Keyboard, which can now be undocked from the bottom and used in a floating mode. Further, the keyboard also supports an adaptive theme which modifies the color of the keyboard according to the UI elements surrounding it.

As of now, the One UI update based on Android 9.0 Pie is available for:

  • Galaxy J4 in Panama,
  • Galaxy J4+ in Thailand, Vietnam, and Ukraine, and
  • Galaxy J6+ in Germany, India, and Iraq.

We’ll update you when these updates are available for the above-mentioned devices in other regions as well. If your device is eligible for an update, go to Settings>Software Update.

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

-

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

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 ,
