TWRP adds support for the Sony Xperia 10/10 Plus

-

The Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is the most popular custom recovery out there, and for good reason. It offers the best blend of functionality, and it remains easy-to-use. It also has a fairly pleasing user interface. Official TWRP support has recently been added for the Xiaomi Mi A3, Redmi Note 8 Pro, ASUS ROG Phone II, Realme X2, Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite, Nokia 7.1, Snapdragon Motorola Moto E4, and the Xiaomi Redmi 8. Now, official support has been added for the Sony Xperia 10 and Sony Xperia 10 Plus.

The Sony Xperia 10 and the Xperia 10 Plus (review) are two mid-range phones that were launched at MWC 2019. The Xperia 10 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 SoC, while the Xperia 10 Plus steps up to the Snapdragon 636 SoC. Both phones have 21:9 aspect ratio displays. The Xperia 10 has a 6-inch FHD+ LCD, while the Xperia 10 Plus has a 6.5-inch FHD+ LCD. The Xperia 10 has 3GB of RAM, while the Xperia 10 Plus steps up to 4GB. Both phones have 64GB of internal storage along with a microSD card slot.

The Xperia 10 (codename: kirin) has a 13MP primary camera along with a 5MP depth sensor, whereas the Xperia 10 Plus (codename: mermaid) has a 12MP primary camera and an 8MP optical zoom/bokeh secondary camera. Both phones have 8MP front cameras. The Xperia 10 and the Xperia 10 Plus feature 2,870mAh and 3,000mAh batteries respectively with support for USB-PD fast charging. They were launched with Android 9 Pie, and Sony has promised an Android 10 update sometime in early 2020.

Readers can check out the TWRP installation instructions for both phones and download the recovery via the source links. TWRP needs to be temporarily booted via fastboot on these phones, and it needs to be flashed via the ramdisk method. As always, flashing TWRP requires an unlocked bootloader.

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 .

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...
