Users who are enrolled in the Microsoft Launcher beta will start seeing a new minimal design in the launcher’s feed, as well as additional Cortana features. The beta needs to be on version 4.13 for users to view the new updates. The most visual aspect of this new version is the changes to the ‘Launcher Feed.’ Microsoft has removed the borders that used to surround the widgets. They now just float on screen, similarly to most other widgets. Launcher Feed is the Microsoft Launcher’s answer to the Google Feed. The updates to Cortana make it possible for the launcher to read a user’s texts aloud to them. Users can also use Cortana to track their family’s phones as well. There are a few smaller changes too. Users can now add calendar events with fewer taps using Microsoft’s widget. Along with that, the team has tuned the software so the app drawer’s animations should now be a bit smoother. Users that want to test out the new features can join … [Read more...] about There are a few changes coming to Microsoft’s Android launcher

According to a new report, the company’s fall flagship phone will launch on T-Mobile in the US. The appearance of the OnePlus 6T in carrier stores would mark the first time the Chinese startup has inked a deal with a carrier in the US, which could get its phones in the hands of many more consumers. OnePlus has been a favorite among Android enthusiasts for years thanks to its low prices and powerful hardware. Going all the way back to the OnePlus One in 2014, the company has always used the latest and greatest Snapdragon chip — the same chip powering phones that cost twice as much. OnePlus phones don’t have some of the bells and whistles like a 1440p display, wireless charging, and a microSD card slot, but the price is right. The current OnePlus 6 has a Snapdragon 845 and 6GB of RAM for $530. … [Read more...] about T-Mobile to Sell the OnePlus 6T in the US This Fall

The next version of Android Messages brings an updated look, and more importantly, the ability to change to dark mode. The interface is a little bit cleaner and strips out some of the color and dull gray backgrounds in favor of a whole lot of white. There’s also now a toggle to ‘enable dark mode,’ which changes the background to black and darkens your text. The update is gradually rolling out now. Besides the feature to enable dark mode, the biggest changes seem to be a new font, and a giant blue ‘Start chat’ button on the bottom right corner that’s replaced the old ‘+’ sign. Additionally, messages default your chat bubble to blue no matter what mode you’re in, which may be Google’s response to iMessage and the dreaded ‘green bubble’ stigma. Unfortunately, making this change seems to get rid of the option to customize conversation bubble colors, or change your Contacts’ color. Google has been unifying its … [Read more...] about Dark mode comes to the latest version of Android Messages

Instead of going the usual route of distributing the game via Google Play, Samsung and Epic announced that the game would be distributed via an APK and would initially only be available on certain Samsung models. While this is only a beta launch, keeping the device profile restricted so narrowly should have made it simpler for Epic to deliver an early game version with robust performance and graphics. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened here.According to Ars Technica’s Sam Machkovech, limiting itself to just Samsung devices “hasn’t made the game run smoothly in the slightest.” Android Central declares “I’ve been playing it almost non-stop from the moment it was made available in the Samsung Galaxy App Store, and this is my early review of the game having played it on a Samsung … [Read more...] about Fortnite Android Beta Roundup: Disappointing, Frustrating, Samsung-Only
