Oppo Reno 12 Series is Coming Globally
The Oppo Reno series is one of the smartphones from Oppo that anyone should refrain from buying outside China. That's because Oppo basically ships inferior SoC and camera sensors in global/Indian models, offering good specs only to the Chinese market
Reno 12:
• MediaTek Dimensity 8250 Star Speed Edition
• 50MP main (LYT-600, OIS) + 8MP UltraWide + 50MP 2X Telephoto (JN5)
Reno 12 Pro:
• MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ SoC
• 50MP main (IMX 890, OIS) + 8MP UltraWide + 50MP 2X Telephoto (JN5)
GLOBALLY
Reno 12:
MediaTek Dimensity 7300
50MP main + 8MP UltraWide + 2MP useless sensor
Reno 12 Pro:
MediaTek Dimensity 7300
50MP main (Sony LYT-600 ~ IMX 882) + 8MP UltraWide + 50MP 2x Telephoto
Even after shipping inferior specs, Oppo will still overprice them compared to the price in China

Xiaomi Plans on Kanging iOS Recent Style
Chinese brands like Huawei, Xiaomi and BBK are competing with each other on becoming the 'World's First Android Brand with 1:1 iOS Kanged UI'
Oppo has recently kanged volume bars even from iOS & added it in OnePlus and Realme smartphones
Xiaomi has already kanged many stuff from iOS, for eg the QS styles. At that time, Xiaomi did NOT ask users's opinion about iOS kanged QS styles
Now to show 'fake' sympathy towards its users, Xiaomi is running a survey asking users to chose between iOS recent styles, horizontal or the vertical style
Although the survey is about recent styles, but Xiaomi is also asking users about:
• Your Age
• Your Country
• Current & last smartphone

Xiaomi Abuses Non-Dismissable Notifications to Provide Ads
Source
Non-dismissible notifications is an Android feature that's useful for user awareness, such as while using Navigation/Maps, listening to music or in ongoing calls.
Xiaomi however, is using this feature to display its Game Centre ADs / Recommendations, which will NOT disappear even after clearing all notifications until you manually swipe to remove them in HyperOS
For those wondering why the 'Clear All' button fails to remove these notifications, it's because Google recently introduced a change with Android 14 that's meant for preventing the 'accidental dismissal' of certain important notifications when the user taps the Clear All button.
Some shitty apps also abuse the feature such as Flipkart in providing useless recommendations. However, when an Android OEM itself abuses this feature, it clearly indicates that the brand does NOT prioritize user experience or care about its users.

The GitHub CSS Injection Vulnerability
Today, a CSS injection vulnerability was discovered which allowed the GitHub profile to have some discord profile-like customization
Apart from profile CSS injection, a CSS injection on the issues tab was also discovered which resulted in the issues being hijacked.
When the link is clicked, it quickly flashes in black & white a Discord invitation link.
Next, a security researcher discovered ReadMe. MD files can force following/liking/logging people out of their GitHub profiles.
Oh, and you can make IP grabbers!
Working of the CSS Injection:
LaTeX is a CSS library that makes a website look like a LaTeX document. But it was discovered that using some special code on the Readme.MD page can tell the GitHub profile to load CSS.
Now when GitHub sees the payload, it tries to understand the latex, but instead, it ends up loading the CSS, changing the profile in ways it wasn't supposed by filling it with the gifs or images that are linked in the code

Microsoft Discovers Dirty Stream Vulnerability in Android Apps
Microsoft has discovered a critical security loophole dubbed "Dirty Stream," which could allow malicious Android apps to overwrite files in another application's home directory, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution and stealing valuable user information.
The flaw arises from the improper use of Android's content provider system, typically designed to facilitate secure data exchange between different applications on a device. It includes safeguards such as strict isolation of data, URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers), and thorough validation of file paths to ward off unauthorized access.
When implemented incorrectly, custom intents, which are messaging objects that facilitate communication between components across Android apps, could bypass these security measures.
For example, vulnerable apps may fail to adequately check file names or paths, allowing a malicious app to sneak in harmful code camouflaged as legitimate files.
Microsoft’s investigation revealed that this vulnerability is NOT an isolated issue, as the research found incorrect implementations of the content provider system prevalent across many popular Android apps.
Affected apps include Xiaomi’s File Manager (1B+ downloads) and WPS Office (500M+ installs)

The Google Pixel watch 3 will launch alongside Google Pixel 9 series and Pixel 9 Fold in October.
This time, the Pixel watch would be available in two sizes unlike the Pixel watch 2 which was available only in 41mm size.
It will also sport a slightly larger battery with 307mAh capacity and thus would be a bit thicker as well compared to the Pixel Watch 2
The Pixel Watch 3 is also tipped to feature a 1.2-inch display, the same as its predecessor.
In terms of dimensions, the Pixel Watch 3 measures 40.79 x 40.73 x 14mm compared to the Pixel Watch 2 which measures 1.2-inch and 41 x 41 x 12.3mm.

World's First Audio and Video Call Made Using Spatial Audio
Nokia has made the World's FIRST audio and video call using 3D spatial audio on a Google Pixel 7 Pro smartphone.
Nokia placed the call over a cellular network using the 3GPP Immersive Video and Audio Services (IVAS) codec, allowing callers to hear “sound spatially in real-time.”
The IVAS codec is part of 5G Advanced, an upcoming upgrade to 5G networks that could offer faster speeds, more accurate cellular-based positioning, etc.
Currently, all phone calls made over a cellular network are monophonic, meaning audio is compressed into a single channel. Spatial audio, on the other hand, makes it seem like sounds are coming from different directions as they’re delivered through multiple channels.
The IVAS codec could enable spatial audio in a “vast majority” of smartphones with at least 2 microphones. However, it will still take few more years to be available in the market.

The new Controls API from Apple also allows you to switch up the controls on your iPhone's lock screen, so you can replace the traditional flashlight and camera buttons with something more convenient to you. The Control Center buttons can also be assigned to the physical Action button.

iPhone Users can finally place apps anywhere on their homescreen after 18 years
Apple announced iOS 18 today with two notable changes for the Home Screen: the ability to place app icons anywhere, and a dark tint option for app icons.
iPhone users can now place app icons anywhere on the Home Screen as Apple now allows blank spaces, rows, and columns between app icons, which can reveal more of the wallpaper.
App icons can now have a dark or tinted appearance, with many color options available. Icons can be manually set to appear in dark or light mode, or they can automatically switch based on whether Dark Mode is turned on or off on the iPhone.

iOS 18 will let users lock and hide apps
iOS 18 will let users lock system Apple apps and 3rd-party apps. Authentication would be needed using FaceID or TouchID to access these apps even if the phone is unlocked
Android’s version locks the phone to the current running app, allowing the user to access only that app unless biometrics or a PIN is used to exit.
In contrast, Apple’s app lock secures specific apps that you have previously selected.
Additionally, users can hide apps they wish to keep discreet, which will not be visible in the app drawer and will only be accessible through authentication.
Furthermore, iOS 18 will ensure that while the app lock feature is active, information from within these locked apps does not appear in search results or notifications
This feature is somewhat similar to Android 15’s new Private Space and Samsung’s Secure Folder
