T-Mobile OnePlus 6T update brings new Google Assistant shortcut, plenty of fixes and improvements
T-Mobile's version of the OnePlus 6T has consistently been receiving software updates at a different (read:later) pace than the unlocked model. Today a new one has started making its way to those units sold by the magenta carrier. It's a 110MB download that enables activating the Google Assistant by holding the power button for 0.5s. If you turn this on this in Settings > Buttons & gestures, you'll need to hold the key for 3s in order to reach the power off menu. The Assistant shortcut is very handy if you have full screen gesture navigation enabled, as that takes away the option of...
OnePlus sold 249% more 6T units in the US than 6, doesn't rule out smaller phone for the future
Its partnership with T-Mobile has unsurprisingly helped OnePlus to move many more units of the 6T in the US than it did of its predecessor, the OnePlus 6. 249% more, to be exact. The figure comes straight from OnePlus CEO Pete Lau, speaking in an interview with PCMag. He hasn't shared actual sales numbers, but did reveal that the entire team is really happy with how things are going for the company in the US at the moment. The OnePlus 6 sold more than a million units globally in the first 22 days of its availability earlier this year, but since Pete Lau's statement above refers only to...
Moto Camera app update brings AR stickers, selfie portrait and spot color
Motorola just updated its default Moto Camera app by adding some of the latest features introduced in the recent Moto devices. Of course, there are a couple of bug fixes in there as well. The changelog in Google Play Store says that Moto Z3 and Z3 Play get AR stickers support while the front camera of all other devices receive portrait mode as well. That nifty Color Spot feature that's been available on some Moto devices is now available across all. Additionally, Motorola added a watermark, but we can't think of a good enough reason to use that in the first place. Anyway, you can...
ZTE nubia Red Magic Mars soon coming to the UK and Europe
The beastly nubia Red Magic Mars was released just last month in China and by the looks of it, it will be stepping outside of the country really soon. A landing page has already been set up and you can sign in your email address so you can receive a notification once it arrives. According to the drop-down menu on the landing page, the phone will be available for purchase in the UK and Europe. But as manufacturers do, ZTE's sub-brand nubia didn't give any specifics around the release of the phone. We just hope it will be sooner than later. Source
