Last week, the teasers promised market disruption, though the exact launch date of the phones was not known. Citing industry sources, 91mobiles has now claimed that it has procured a launch event invite which allegedly says that Redmi will launch the Note 7 in India on February 12. Comments on the teaser tweeted by Xiaomi and Redmi suggested that the Redmi Note 7 could launch in India on February 14.

The 4GB+64GB variant is priced 1199 Yuan (approx Rs 12,500) and the 6GB+64GB variant retails for 1399 Yuan, which is approximately Rs 14,500.

Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ press renders leak in full

We are just a few days away from the launch of Samsung’s flagship devices for 2019, the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+. Therefore, leaks of the two phones are in full swing and with just a few days left for the final reveal, it turns out, alleged press renders of the device have leaked, revealing the design in full. The design reveals that Samsung has managed to really narrow down the top and bottom chins by moving the front facing camera into the display. Additionally, it appears that the company is getting rid of its Iris scanner technology so as to reduce the clutter on top. In its place, the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ will utilise an in-display fingerprint sensor. This is further corroborated by the fact that there is no fingerprint scanner on the back, as shown by the press renders. Looking at the back, we also see a triple camera setup on the back. Interestingly, the renders show three colours for each variant; a black and two new finishes of green and the already seen Polaris Blue. The other interesting revelation from the press renders is the corners of the devices, which appear to have a sharper edge in comparison to the S9 and S9+. Samsung Galaxy S10+ in Polaris Blue Samsung Galaxy S10 in Green The Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ will sport Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon 855 in some markets and the company’s own Exynos 9820 processor in other markets. Rumours suggest that there may be a variant of the S10+ which will sport a whopping 1TB of storage. This is substantiated somewhat by the fact that Samsung just announced the production of its 1TB UFS 3.0 storage chip. Samsung is expected to announce the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Samsung Galaxy S10+ on the 20th of February, just ahead of Mobile World Congress 2019. We know that the S10 has already entered mass production. The 5G variant of the phone is expected to go into production a little later. The company is expected to showcase both the 5G variant of the S10 series and the foldable smartphone during its Unpacked event.

Apple briefly stops Google from running its internal iOS apps, allows Facebook to do so

Highlights: Apple briefly stops Google from running its internal iOS apps Both Facebook and Google are now allowed to use them Google was also allegedly spying on people Just when the media was criticising Facebook for spying on teenagers through an app, Apple dropped a bomb on Google by measuring the search engine giant with the same yardstick that it used with the social media platform - in simpler words - revoking Google’s Enterprise Certificate that allowed it to distribute its own private app and allegedly monitored iPhone usage. The move can be seen as Apple’s reaffirmation of itself as an advocate of users’ privacy, and a powerful tech entity that does not kneel down to the (implied) data-hungry competitors. Though Apple has let Facebook use internal iOS apps and restored functionality to Google’s apps, it should be clear that the Cupertino-based giant is clearly sticking to its rules and applying them equally to any company that may get caught breaking its rules in the future. Just like Facebook, Google’s Screenwise Meter came under the lens for tracking users and rewarding them with gift cards for letting Google collect information on their internet usage. Google has released a statement clarifying its stance. “The Screenwise Meter iOS app should not have operated under Apple’s developer enterprise program — this was a mistake, and we apologize. We have disabled this app on iOS devices. This app is completely voluntary and always has been. We’ve been upfront with users about the way we use their data in this app, we have no access to encrypted data in apps and on devices, and users can opt out of the program at any time,” Google spokesperson told The Verge. A person familiar with the situation told The Verge that the “early versions of Google Maps, Hangouts, Gmail, and other pre-release beta apps stopped working alongside employee-only apps like a Gbus app for transportation and Google’s internal cafe app.” Reportedly, Amazon, DoorDash, and Sonos all distribute beta versions of their apps to non-employees and could face the same action as the Google and Facebook.
