Phones › Vivo Y20s [G] Debuts With Helio G80 by berthoward(op): 5:31pm On Apr 12, 2021
The vivo Y20 series consists of six different phones, and today a new name has been added to the lineup - vivo Y20s [G]. It went on sale in the Philippines as a version of the vivo Y20s with a Helio G80 chipset, and will be sold in other markets as vivo Y20G.

The vivo Y20s [G] has the same 6.51” LCD panel with a waterdrop notch at the front as the rest of the Y20 lineup.

Around the back you get a 13MP main camera as well as 2MP depth and 2MP macro modules.

The phone is sold in the Asia-Pacific country in two colors - Obsidian Black and Purist Blue. There is a single memory option of 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, and the phone costs PHP9,990, which is about $205/€190.

It is already available at vivo Philippines, but can also be purchased from Lazada and Shopee, where the retailers will throw vivo TWS earphones as a gift that cost PHP2,499 ($51/€43) if purchased separately.

Phones › Xiaomi Is Reportedly Working On New Tablets With 11" 120 Hz Screens And Snapdrag by berthoward(op): 5:20pm On Apr 12, 2021
For all the phones that Xiaomi creates, it has only ever made a few tablets – and it hasn’t made a new one since mid-2018. Leakster Digital Chat Station says that two new Mi Pads are in development and offers the key specifications for them.

Let’s call them Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 and Mi Pad 5 Pro for now. They will be equipped with the same 11” LCD with 2,560 x 1,600 px resolution (16:10), which is able to detect 4,096 pressure levels.

The display will have 120 Hz refresh rate and 240 Hz touch sampling rate – while common on phones, high refresh rate displays are quite rare in the tablet market (you can only get one on a few iPad Pros and Galaxy Tab S slates).

The main difference between the two Mi Pads will be in the chipset. One model will use the new Snapdragon 780G, a 5 nm chip with pretty high end hardware, especially the ISP and NPU. This chipset has a built-in X53 5G modem (sub-6), unlike the other option which needs an external modem (it only has a 4G one built in).

The other will use the SM8150-AC, which is the model number for both the Snapdragon 855+ and Snapdragon 860. Both are 7 nm chips with a faster GPU, though their ISP and NPU are showing their age. Neither chip supports displays above 90 Hz, however, DCS mentions a Novatek display driver, so that might not be an issue.

It’s not clear when these tablets will be made official. Xiaomi had a huge event a couple of weeks ago, but that’s obviously behind us. The next thing on the schedule seems to be the Mi 11X launch in India on April 23. There’s no indication that the event will feature anything but the rebadged Redmi K40 phones, however.

Phones › Google And Qualcomm Invest Big In HMD Global, "The Home Of Nokia Phones" by berthoward(op): 10:02pm On Aug 11, 2020
HMD Global announced that Qualcomm and Google had invested big in the new home of Nokia phones. The total pool of investment is $230 and the company didn't disclose all of the investors but it does give us a good idea of how Nokia brand will develop in the future.

According to HMD Global, the fresh $230 million injection will accelerate its 5G growth by introducing more 5G-enabled phones and also help them reach more markets across the globe. And besides, with all the fuss around the US government's ban on Huawei, Google is looking to propel a new smartphone maker into the top smartphone OEMs.

With HMD Global keeping some of its staff, including its datacenter in Finland, it's clear that the European smartphone company is less likely to get in the crossfire between the US and China trade war, so it seems like a safe bet.

Phones › Samsung Galaxy A42 5G Passes Through Geekbench by berthoward(op): 3:02pm On Aug 05, 2020
An unknown Samsung device sporting model code SM-A426B and believed to be the Galaxy A42 5G has passed through Geekbench, revealing key specs in the process.

The phone runs Android 10 and has 4GB RAM onboard. The motherboard section in the listing mentions "lito" which corresponds to the Snapdragon 765G SoC and the details mentioned in the processor information section also hint towards the same, but the source code of the web page tells a different story.

The code lists the GPU on the device as Adreno 619 instead of Snapdragon 765G's Adreno 620. This might lead some to believe that Galaxy A42 5G will have the Snapdragon 690 SoC under the hood, but it's worth mentioning that Snapdragon 690 comes with Adreno 619L.

There's no word from Samsung yet about the Galaxy A42 5G, but the smartphone was spotted on China's 3C last month with a battery having a rated capacity of 4,860 mAh.

Previous rumors claim the Galaxy A42 5G will have 128GB of storage and it will arrive in early 2021.

Webmasters › Google Says Critical Chrome Update Coming Next Week, Version 81 In Early April by berthoward(op):
Google has recently announced that it’s pausing major updates for Google Chrome due to the coronavirus outbreak, in an attempt to give devs more things to worry about given the typical compatibility work they must do after releases, and now the company shares more information on how it plans to maintain the browser.

First and foremost, the stable version of Google Chrome that the majority of users are currently running will receive a major update as soon as the next week.

What’s important to know, however, is that this update would only include security and critical fixes for the existing version of Google Chrome. So this update won’t be a new major version, but only fixes that we absolutely need for Chrome 80.

On the other hand, Chrome 81 is just around the corner anyway, as Google says it will land in the first week of April 7.
"Chrome 82 canceled"

At the same time, Google has decided to cancel Chrome 82 altogether, so after version 81, the company will skip directly to Chrome 83.

“M83 will be released three weeks earlier than previously planned and will include all M82 work as we cancelled the M82 release (all channels),” Google says.

In other words, Google Chrome 83 is the next major update after Chrome 81, and according to the existing schedule, it should land in mid-May.

Beginning this week or the next one, all the other Chrome channels should restart receiving updates normally. Chrome 81 will continue to be a beta, while Chrome 83 will move to the Dev channel.

“We continue to closely monitor that Chrome and Chrome OS are stable, secure, and work reliably. We’ll keep everyone informed of any changes on our schedule on our release blog and will share additional details on the schedule in the Chromium Developers group, as needed,” Google says.

Webmasters › Sparky Linux 2020.03.1 ISO Images Now Available by berthoward(op):
The developing team working on Sparky Linux has just announced that new ISO images for version 2020.03.1 of the (semi-)rolling line are now available for download.

And of course, there are no breaking changes in this release, but only a minor update for the live and install media for Sparky Linux.

There are technically three important improvements that are part of this new release, as it follows.

First and foremost, all packages are now updated from the Debian testing repos dated March 27, 2020, so you’re also getting tons of fixes as part of this release.

Then, the update fixes an issue that blocked booting Sparky 2020.03 that was previously copied on an USB flash drive. This was a particularly inconvenient bug affecting those who used USB media to boot Sparky Linux, so after updating to this version, everything should be working just as expected.
"Renamed repos"

And last but not least, the dev team says they renamed the Sparky repository to “potolo”, with “testing” working just like before for everyone. This is a change that was originally announced earlier this week, with oldstable also becoming “tyche” and stable rename to “nibiru”.

“Developing and providing packages to Sparky based on Debian testing only was quite easy, it was just one branch, developed as a rolling release. No changes in repos required then. Everything changed after releasing Sparky on Debian stable and keeping the oldstable line as well,” the Sparky Linux team said.

“Every big upgrade, means from testing to a new stable, and stable to a new oldstable required manual changes in the repo lists.To avoid that, the named repos will let you smoothly upgrade your Sparky installation without any manual change. It will be done via a regular upgrade using the package manager/upgrade tool only.”

There’s no need to reinstall the operating system if you’re already running Sparky, as a full system upgrade takes care of everything without any other changes being required.
