  Members from the XDA have confirmed that   One Plus   and   Meizu   have been artificially boosting performance in their benchmark tests. One Plus had even accepted their mistake and has promises not to do this in the future. Given resistance from the community, we assumed that manufacturers valued their own community enough to avoid practices like this. It looks like One Plus and Meizu are unconcerned.   While testing the  OnePlus 3T ,  XDA  noticed that the Snapdragon 821 chip used was forced to run at a higher clockspeed whenever a benchmark app was detected by adding lines of code in their operating systems.  Assuming that One Plus was cheating on benchmark tests, XDA approached Primate Labs, the makers of the popular Geek-bench suite of benchmarks, for help.  Primate Labs discovered that the OnePlus 3T’s OS was identifying apps by name and modifying the speed governors accordingly. To overcom...

Google’s Now Launcher has been a staple of the Google Play Store for years. But according to a leaked email  obtained by  Android Police , Google will be removing the Now Launcher from the Play Store and ceasing major updates in the next few months. The email, reportedly sent to Android device manufacturers, explains that the Google Now features of the Now Launcher are being duplicated by the new Search Launcher Services, which device manufacturers can use to make their own launcher with Google Now capabilities. As a result, the Google Now Launcher will be removed from the app store on March 1st, and can no longer ship on new devices. The launcher is the app that Android uses to control the home screen and basic functions accessed from there. Android manufacturers like Samsung and LG are often guilty of shipping phones that have a bunch of bloatware to push Samsung apps, most heavily focused on the launcher. Although there are other third-party launchers that you can stil...

The one Plus 3T is similar to the One Plus 3 which was released 6 months ago by the company One Plus. So, the One Plus 3 is to the One Plus 3T as the iPhone 6 was to the iPhone 6S, Basically 'T' is the new 'S'. It is kind of a iterational change that was released back in june 2016. Its a spec bump put into the exact same design, generally you wouldn't know exactly just by looking at it. The only change in the outer shell of this beast is a slight change of the colour whis is being called 'Gunmetal' by One Plus which is slightly darker than the previous version which had a silver paintjob. Coming to the changes that have been made in this phone and I must say that this phone really is one hell of a beast. It comes with the latest Snapdragon 821 processor at 2.35Ghz clock speed, and this means that the company has not under clocked this phone like the Google Pixel. Also it comes with a 6GB RAM. The best thing that the company has done keeping th...

The Google phone is finally here. After years of dipping its toes with its range of Nexus phones made by third parties and the inevitable compromises that came with them, Google has unveiled two of its own phones - the  Pixel and Pixel XL . U nder a new hardware division set up last year, Google itself has taken control of the phone’s look, feel and specifications. The result is what can be described as the first true Google phone, one that takes the combination of hardware and software that Apple have used so well and applies it to Android, the world’s most popular operating system. Design and feel The 5-inch Pixel and 5.5-inch Pixel XL come in two colours in the UK, irreverently named “very silver” and “quite black” (the “really blue” of the US is not available in the UK). The colours are simply fine: nothing you won't have seen before but perfectly nice.  G oogle came in for a fair amount of criticism for releasing two phones that people s...

Recently there was a strong rumor that Google will be ditching their  Nexus branding  with this year’s line of pure-as-you-can-get Android devices in favor of Pixel , so it’s no surprise to learn that the Nexus Launcher will be getting a new name as well. This popular and newly rebranded launcher is also now available for your own perusal, thanks to ROM developer LlabTooFeR . On the surface, there doesn’t appear to be anything particularly different about Pixel Launcher. As far as the rumors, the only thing that’s been changed is the name and version number. Oh yeah, and the Calendar icon is dynamic, meaning that it accurately depicts which day of the month it is without accessing the app. If you’re looking for any sleek new features or UI redesigns, you won’t find any of that here. It’s literally the most recent version of the Nexus Launcher with a new name. Nevertheless, if you’re looking to stay abreast of all the latest naming conventions that Google is applying ...
