Highlights: Google working on native dark mode in Chrome for Windows 10 The company will reportedly bring dark mode to MacOS Mojave Google Chrome comes with a dark theme in Incognito mode Google Chrome on Windows 10 doesn’t have a native dark mode even though the platform already supports dark mode for apps like Microsoft Edge and Firefox. This may change soon because one of the engineers at Google has posted a message on Reddit saying that the company is working on the mode. The engineer says that till the company is developing the mode, it is advised to use the dark theme for Google’s web browser. The development comes almost a month after it was reported that Google is also working to bring the dark mode to MacOS Mojave. According to Peter Kasting (via Techdows), “For desktop, native dark mode support is in progress, in the meantime, we generally suggest people use the dark theme.” Google Chrome comes with a default light theme and supports a dark theme in Incognito mode. Dark theme has been the talk of the town lately. Established web browsers like Firefox and the recently launched Xiaomi Mint lightweight browser are now focussing on bringing the dark mode to their UI. It's the same case with other apps too. For example, Google’s own YouTube now supports dark mode and WhatsApp too could soon feature it. Windows 10 already supports dark mode and Apple launched the new MacOS Mojave with the Dark Mode as its USP. Last year at Android Dev Summit 2018, Google highlighted the importance of dark mode and dark themes on Android. The company shared some data on the subject showcasing the difference between the power drawn from battery while using light and dark modes respectively. In Android Pie, there is an option to select a Dark theme that turns the quick settings and the Google Feed dark, but it is not a system-wide implementation.

Key highlights Nokia 9 PureView successor is tipped to feature Snapdragon 855 SoC with 5G support It might sport a 2K “true edge-to-edge display with a camera hole.” The phone is expected to launch in August 2019 (tentative) HMD Global may not have unveiled the Nokia 9 PureView yet, but it looks like the phone’s successor has already been leaked. First spotted by Nokia Power User, @LeaksNokia has tweeted that the successor to Nokia’s upcoming flagship smartphone will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC and offer support for 5G. It is noted that the company may launch the device in August, 2019. Other features mentioned in the post include a 2K “true edge-to-edge display with a camera hole.” The ‘camera hole’ is most likely referring to the new trend of ‘punch-hole’ front cameras offered in devices like the Honor View 20. The tweet also notes that the device will still offer the same penta-camera setup that the Nokia 9 PureView is tipped to offer. However, the successor is said to offer a larger sensor with “better imaging quality.” However, like most leaks, it’s best to take this one with a pinch of salt. HMD Global is expected to launch its new flagship smartphone later this month and the launch of a successor within a few months might definitely irk those who purchased the Nokia 9 PureView smartphone. To recall, the Nokia 9 PureView is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset and offer 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. The phone is expected to offer Android 9 Pie out-of-the-box and will most likely be a part of Google’s Android One program. As such, it should get timely updates for at least two years. Earlier today, a video said to be the promo video for the phone was leaked. The video again tipped at the penta-camera setup the phone is expected to come with. Further, the handset is said to feature a 5.99-inch 2K display with an in-display fingerprint sensor. It is also expected to offer support for Qi wireless charging.
