The Google Pixel 4 doesn’t have the most comprehensive video recording support, lacking the 4K/60fps functionality that’s become the top-end recording option for many flagship phones. Now, XDA-Developers editor-in-chief Mishaal Rahman has revealed that the Pixel 4 series originally offered the feature, citing references on Google’s Git repository. Unfortunately, the references show that 4K/60fps support was pulled before launch. The pulled feature means that the Google Pixel 4 tops out at 4K/30fps.

The Pixel 4 series is official, but India isn’t getting its hands on them. Between a marketing blitz and the Pixel 3a series that was designed for emerging markets, the Pixel line up had finally started gaining momentum in India. However, with the launch of the Pixel 4, that comes to a halt. Google has announced that the phone won’t be making its way to the country. The reasoning for that is simple: One of the highlight features of the Pixel 4 is Motion Sense that allows for hands-off gestures and a new way to unlock the phone.

Smartphones are fast becoming more powerful companions as more quad-core phones are introduced to the market. Huawei doesn’t want to be left out in that space and created the Huawei Ascend D quad XL U9510E. This new phone from Huawei features its homegrown Huawei K3V2 quad-core processor. Aside from snappy processing hardware, the phone also provides pleasurable multimedia playback. In terms of thickness and weight, though, the phone may not be the sleekest, but it does have an enviable battery bank rated at 2,600 mAh.

Although Barnes & Noble’s tablets have never been on top of many tech enthusiasts’ wishlists, the independent developer community has always taken the time to root the gadgets and come out with custom ROMs to replace B&N’s own forks of Android. The Nook HD and HD+ duo couldn’t have made an exception from that rule, so it’s not a shocker that just a couple of weeks after the tabs’ launches, the first step to software freedom has been made.

Ryan-Thomas Shaw / Android Authority TL;DR Reliable smartphone leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer just leaked the OnePlus Nord N10 specs. Shortly thereafter, he leaked the specs for the similar-but-cheaper Nord N100. Both phones are distinctly budget-oriented affairs with 600- and 400-series chipsets. OnePlus has already launched a slew of smartphones this year, but it’s not done yet. Before the end of October, we expect OnePlus to launch at least another two smartphones.

I’ve had the Galaxy Tab 8.9 by Samsung for about a full week now which means I’ve had some time to gather my thoughts and decide how I truly feel  about the device. With all honesty this tablet is amazing it does very well with anything you throw at it from multitasking to smooth graphics this tablet will do it all. While using the Tab 8.9 I experienced little to no lag regardless of how many tasks I was attempting to accomplish.

Eric Zeman / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has promised five years of security updates for the Galaxy S20, S21, Note 20, and a few other devices. The new update policy currently applies to Samsung’s enterprise edition models. However, it’s likely that the regular consumer versions of the phones will also benefit from the development. Samsung has been at the top of its game lately when it comes to providing timely software updates to its phones.

Just a few weeks ago, Square Enix announced its next big game, Final Fantasy: Record Keeper, which is set to make its way to Android sometime this Spring. Record Keeper is a big mash-up of past games, combining all of your favorite heroes and villains including Tidus, Lightning, Cloud and many others. The aim of the game is to battle your way through “the most epic Final Fantasy moments”, by means of spells, summons and hundreds of different weapons.

We heard whispers and rumors of Samsung’s new Bluetooth-enabled C-Pen stylus last year, but at the time there really just wasn’t anything to say about it except “Samsung is working on it.” Now, however, the retailer Cyberport has posted information about this fancy little device on their page, giving us a sneak peek into what exactly we can look forward to when it comes to the Samsung Bluetooth C-Pen, for use with the Windows-powered Galaxy Tab Pro S.

So what happened to make Epic finally cave and bring Fortnite to the Play Store? According to the company’s statement, it looks like Google’s policies towards Android apps that don’t originate from the official store forced Epic’s hand in the matter. Check out a portion of the statement below: After 18 months of operating Fortnite on Android outside of the Google Play Store, we’ve come to a basic realization: Google puts software downloadable outside of Google Play at a disadvantage, through technical and business measures such as scary, repetitive security pop-ups for downloaded and updated software, restrictive manufacturer and carrier agreements and dealings, Google public relations characterizing third party software sources as malware, and new efforts such as Google Play Protect to outright block software obtained outside the Google Play store.
