Samsung Galaxy Fit Review

To date, Samsung has tried and tested wearables in various form factors, including smartwatches and fitness bands, in an attempt to find the middle ground. Recently, the South Korean giant refreshed its fitness tracker lineup with the Galaxy Fit, which is expected to compete Fitbit Inspire HR, Mi Band 4, and Honor Band 5 in terms of features. As per the company claims, the Galaxy Fit is made for all types of fitness enthusiasts, from casual runners to athletes. Is the Galaxy Fit a worthy device at Rs. 8,999? Design In terms of design, the Galaxy Fit looks minimal and straightforward. At just 23 grams, it is incredibly light, and I didn't feel the band during my sleep. It comes in two variants -- a black case with a black silicone wristband or a silver case with a white wristband. In our case, we tried out the silver case variant. These bands are removable, which means you are not stuck with one color either. Even though we felt comfortable wearing this all day and night, it does have an annoying strap where the silicone band slides through an opening that allows you to adjust the fit. Changing the pin some times feels like ...

Google will require new devices launched after January 31, 2020 to run Android 10: Report

Google unveiled Android Q earlier this year and later renamed it to Android 10. It was released for Pixel smartphones recently and other OEMs are gradually rolling out the update. Now, a new report reveals that Google will require all new devices to run Android 10 if approved after January 31, 2020. A document obtained by XDA Developers reveals that Google will stop approving GMS (Google Mobile Services) distribution on devices that won't ship with Android 10 or in other words, ship with an older version of Android, if approved after January 31st, 2020. Similarly, Google will stop approving devices that ship with Android 9 Pie after the launch of Android 11 which will happen next year. Google Mobile Services consist of Google apps, libraries, and services and OEMs must license in order to pre-install it on Android devices. Although the deadline for getting approval is January 31st, 2020, OEMs can still get approval for their upcoming devices to run Android 9 Pie before the approval window closes. With this move, Google aims to streamline the software update process and will ensure that all brands provide timely updates to its users so that Google will be able to provide timely security updates.

Andy Rubin teases a radically re-imagined compact smartphone – GEM

Andy Rubin, creator of Android and CEO of Essential just tweeted out a colorful glimpse into one of the most radically re-imagined compact smartphones we have ever seen. It's long, it's thin, there's a huge camera at the back and also a fingerprint scanner. The guys at Essential call this device "GEM" and the first tweet from Andy (after almost an year) shows how color-shifty the design is. But it didn't stop there. https://twitter.com/Arubin/status/1181688540540764160 Then came photos of the side of the phone that actually matters. Yes, that's definitely Google Maps running on the "GEM". Let's start from the top of the phone. There's an ear piece grill right at the top, the bezels all around the phone are equidistant (apparently that was super hard to achieve on this phone), right below the ear piece seems to be a "notch" area and my guess is, the punch hole houses a front facing camera. Besides that, in software, you see an arrow and a battery indicator in that top area of the UI which is blank. Below that is of course the entire Maps UI reformatted to suit this new radically redesigned form factor. In this image, we can see a different page of the ...
