Google Shopping is integrating 20,000 new local business listings and adding support for 9 Indian languages

-

Late last year, Google announced the launch of Google Shopping in India. The new feature was designed to showcase deals and offers from various retailers on products across various categories. Google recently redesigned the personalized shopping experience, introduced a new price tracking tool, added a local search filter, and a new Buy on Google option. Now, the company is bringing even more features to Google Shopping in a bid to connect more users to retailers.

Local Businesses in Google Shopping

The latest changes to Google Shopping aim to help small and medium businesses reach more consumers. To this effect, Google is bringing more local stores online through Google My Business. Once the feature goes live, any local retailer will be able to create an online store and connect with shoppers searching for their products on Google. The feature will allow retailers to click photos of their in-store products which will automatically surface as product listing on Search and in the Google Shopping tab. Thanks to this integration, Google is bringing 20,000 local businesses that were already on Google My Business to the Shopping experience. The feature has already started rolling out and is expected to be available to users in India early next year.

Google Shopping in Telugu Google Shopping in Gujarati Google Shopping in Hindi

To make the Google Shopping experience more accessible to users in the country, Google has also announced support for Indian languages using Google Translate. Users will be able to check product listings on the Shopping home page in several Indian languages, starting with Hindi. The translation will require no extra effort on the merchant’s end and the products will automatically be displayed to shoppers in Hindi. The company plans to add support for nine Indian languages over time, including Gujarati and Telugu.

Since its launch last year, Google Shopping has seen tremendous growth in India with users in the country engaging with the experience more often, and for longer periods of time when compared to other markets. There’s also been significant growth for small and medium businesses, with clicks on listings from such retailers increasing by 30 percent over the year.

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...
