OnePlus 9 with two 48MP rear cameras surfaces in real-life images

A real-life image allegedly of the upcoming OnePlus 9 has leaked online giving us a look at the design of the phone along with other key details. OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro are rumoured to launch sometime by mid-March and there are speculations that they could be joined by the OnePlus 9 Lite.

The new leak was reported by ITHome with a live image of the OnePlus 9 showing off the phone from the back and the front. The image also reveals some key details about the phone from the Settings menu. From the images, we can see that the OnePlus 9 is shown to be clad in a glossy silver finish with a large camera module in the top-left corner. The image seems to have been posted by TechDroider in a video on YouTube.

As per the leaked image, the OnePlus 9 is powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The phone is equipped with a 48MP primary camera, 48MP ultra-wide-angle camera and an 8MP camera as well. This particular bit is where the information deviates from previous leaks that hinted at the presence of a 50MP primary camera on the upcoming OnePlus 9 series. 

Other than that, the OnePlus 9 is shown to be equipped with a 6.56-inch Full HD+ display with support for 120Hz refresh rate. Interestingly, previous leaks have indicated that the standard OnePlus 9 will have a flat display but that does not seem to be the case with the leaked image. The image purportedly of the OnePlus 9 has a screen that curves along the edges, similar to the OnePlus 8, though the punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera does seem to shrink in size for the upcoming OnePlus 9 series. The OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro are also likely to support 65W fast charging out-of-the-box that debuted with the OnePlus 8T in October.

We will advise our readers to take the new leak with a pinch of salt as we don’t have any official information about the devices yet. OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has previously indicated that the design of the OnePlus 9 lineup isn’t final yet.

OnePlus 9 series is rumoured to launch sometime by mid-March where the company could also unveil its first smartwatch alongside. The company is yet to share its plans for the launch of the OnePlus 9 series.

Google Maps improves discoverability in Indian Languages with automatic translation

In India, 75 percent of the population interact with the Internet using their native language, and sometimes as it happens the users are unable to find their desired location on Maps in their native.

Google Maps is introducing automatic transliteration which will help users in delivering a more intuitive language experience and will enable search queries in their own languages and find information. The main issue faced was that the names of most Indian places of interest in Google Maps are not generally available in native Indian scripts. These names are in English and combined with acronyms based on the Latin script, as well as Indian language words and names. To address such a system Transliteration is required that maps characters from one script to another while accounting for the phonetic properties of the words as well.

 Cibu Johny, Software Engineer, Google Maps explained how the feature works. He says, “Common English words are frequently used in names of places in India, even when written in the native script. How the name is written in these scripts is largely driven by its pronunciation. For example, एनआईटी from the acronym NIT is pronounced ‘en-aye-tee’, not as the English word NIT. Therefore by understanding that NIT is a common acronym from the region, Maps can derive the correct transliteration. In the past when Maps could not understand the context of एनआईटी, it would instead show a related entity that might be farther away from the user. With this development, we can find the desired result from the local language query. Additionally, users can see the Places Of Interest names in their local language, even when they do not originally have that information.”

Google has built an ensemble of learned models to transliterate names of Latin script Places Of Interests into 10 languages prominent in India: Hindi, Bangla, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, and Odia. This will benefit hundreds of users in India who do not speak English and help them in finding doctors, hospitals, grocery stores, banks, bus stops, train stations, and other essential services in their own language.

For a deep dive on how Google has implemented this feature, have a look at the blog post by Google linked here.
