Update (05/07/2018): Google Lens in the Google Assistant is slowly spreading across the Android ecosystem, and now it looks like OnePlus phones are next in line. According to redditors (spotted by XDA-Developers), the OnePlus 3, OnePlus 3T, OnePlus 5, and OnePlus 5T have all received the augmented reality feature.
The Assistant-enabled feature lets you point your camera at objects, text, barcodes or landmarks, getting information about them in the process. Google Lens also reads QR codes, allowing you to get rid of that dedicated app.
HTC has just published the kernel source code for the new One M9 handset on the HTC Dev site. If you’re a developer looking to enhance your application functionality on the One M9, you can head to the dev site and download the kernel that clocks in at 517MB. Regular consumers don’t really have much use for the source code, but it’s there for the taking if developers want it. The kernel can also be used to create custom ROMs for the device, so we’ll hopefully get to see some new ROMs become available in the near future.

MWC 2014 Coverage brought to you by: Bitdefender Mobile Security & Antivirus for Android. Update: New details have emerged that the Galaxy S5 will launch with the Snapdragon 801 SoC, not the Snapdragon 800 which appeared in devices at MWC. This should not affect the comparisons made below, as the Snapdragon 801 is based on the same Krait 400 CPU cores and Adreno 330 graphics chip at the 800, and we already took into account the increased clock speed.
Alto’s Adventure quickly became one of the most acclaimed mobile games released in the past few years when it debuted in 2015. The open-ended snowboarding game combined real-world physics with a minimalist, but still beautiful, art style. Today, the team behind the game, Snowman, revealed its next project, Alto’s Odyssey.

At the moment, the team is saying little to nothing about Alto’s Odyssey. The teaser image, shown above, would seem to indicate that it takes place in a warmer climate than Alto’s Adventure, complete with hot air balloons flying overhead, fantasy-style buildings and steep mountain ranges.
The nature of work is about to change as Internet of Things (IoT) companies create countless new jobs in IoT security and data science.
The Internet of Things is one of those technologies we have been promised for the longest time. Like VR, people have been talking about IoT for decades as though it’s just around the corner. Each year, Internet of Things companies tell us “this is the year of IoT,” and each year, we get an expensive fridge that no one buys.
So you’ve taken the smartphone world by storm by having one of the most sought after devices in recent history. With record sales, the Samsung Galaxy S3 marked a new chapter in the Korean phone manufacturer’s tenure as one of the top companies in the smartphone game. After all that, what’s next?
Apparently, you experiment a little.
The Galaxy S3 is not the only type of device that Samsung is known for, in terms of quality equipment – their Note line, with the S Pen, is perhaps the best phablet out there right now; on the bigger side, the Tab series is a very well-received and sought after part of the tablet market.
TL;DR
Samsung has produced more than 4,000 special edition Galaxy Note 8s to hand out to Olympics participants. The device comes with a white rear, white S-Pen, gold accents, and a custom software theme. Samsung hasn’t discussed whether it will sell the device to general consumers. The 2018 Winter Olympics is almost upon us (it starts February 9) and this year’s event is taking place in PyeongChang, South Korea.
After going on sale in the U.S., Canada, and India earlier this month, the OnePlus 7 Pro Almond is now available in the U.K.
The limited edition handset, which features a polished, cream-colored rear and a golden trim, packs 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage; it’s the same as the other OnePlus 7 Pro models in all but the color.
There’s only one memory configuration available for the Almond model, however, so you’ll have to pick up the Mirror Grey and Nebula Blue OnePlus 7 Pro variations if you want 12GB or 6GB RAM instead.
