Another report points to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 not having a headphone jack or physical buttons

-

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is still several months away, but as with most Samsung phones, we’re already hearing plenty about it. We already know Verizon will carry the device and it will support 5G. There may even be multiple Note 10 models this year, just like the Galaxy S10. But two rumors stand out: no physical buttons and no headphone jack. A new report is doubling down on these claims.

The headphone jack removal rumor goes all the way back to October 2018. Admittedly, this is something that wouldn’t be terribly hard to get correct with a guess. However, the removal of physical buttons is a little more out of left field, and we first heard about it in March. A new report from Android Police is claiming that both of these removals are true.

The report claims that the Galaxy Note 10 will begin Samsung’s trip down the headphone jack removal road for flagship devices. They kept the jack on all three Galaxy S10 models. The volume keys, power button, and Bixby button will also be removed in favor of capacitive touch buttons like the HTC U12+. Those buttons are not very popular, so if true, we hope Samsung has a better implementation.

Android Police goes on to say that their sources have also confirmed the reports of multiple models. As mentioned, these rumors were already out there, but a new report adds more validity to the claims. The Galaxy line has been a place where Samsung can experiment with edgier features and the Galaxy Note 10 looks to be no different. What do you think of these rumors?

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
