LG G6 Android Oreo Update is being Beta Tested in China

The LG G6 was announced back in MWC 2017 as LG’s first 18:9 flagship smartphone. Despite using 2016’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 system-on-chip instead of the newer Snapdragon 835, the G6 still had a premium list of specifications which included 4GBs of RAM coupled with 32/64GB of storage, 5.7-inch WQHD+ (2880×1440) 18:9 Quantum IPS display, dual 13MP standard angle + 13MP wide-angle cameras, and a 3300mAh battery. It was powered by Android 7.0 Nougat, but sadly, LG never gave an update to the Android 7.1 maintenance release for Nougat.

Ten months after its announcement, the LG G6 is no longer the company’s current flagship phone as that crown belongs to the LG V30. The V30 received a stable Android Oreo update in South Korea two days ago, after receiving a beta as part of a “LG OS Preview” program. LG hasn’t currently announced any such program for the G6, but on Thursday, a user uploaded screenshots of the beta Android Oreo update in a Chinese forum, showing that beta testing for the update is underway in China.

The screenshots uploaded by the user show that the update is indeed based on Android 8.0 Oreo, with features such as the ability to snooze notifications, adaptive app icons, and more. The software version for the Oreo beta is V19A, and the list of supported G6 models includes the LGM-G600L, LGM-G600S, LGM-G600K, LGM-G600LR, LGM-G600SR, LGM-G600KR, LGM-G600LP, LGM-G600SP, and LGM-G600KP.

For now, it’s unclear whether the company plans to expand the beta program to other countries. As the V30 has only received its stable Oreo update in South Korea, we anticipate that it will take a while for the LG G6 to get a stable version of Oreo globally. Regardless, the news of the beta testing in China shows that LG is at least working on Oreo for its G series flagship smartphone.

Dirac partners with AAC Technologies to Bring Enhanced Audio Quality to Smartphones, Smart Speakers, and more For the past few years, audio quality in mobile devices has become an increasingly higher priority. There was a time when audio quality was valued only by a few smartphone vendors, but that trend is slowly changing. We have seen the arrival of smartphones which specifically promote great audio quality as a feature, such as HTC’s smartphones since the One M7 as well as LG’s V series flagships . We have also seen the rise of stereo speakers in mobile, better DACs (such as Qualcomm’s Aqstic DAC ), and in general, a better audio experience. However, there still remains quite a way to go for smartphones to improve in audio quality. This is why AAC Technologies and Dirac Research have partnered to build first-of-their-kind audio systems that integrate Dirac’s audio processing technology with AAC Technologies’ micro-speaker technology. Dirac Research is an audio technology company wh

Xiaomi is Recruiting Beta Testers for the Mi Mix 2 Android Oreo Update The Xiaomi Mi A1, which is part of Google’s Android One program,  received an update to Android Oreo a few days ago . But the rest of Xiaomi’s devices run MIUI , Xiaomi’s proprietary software layer, and they haven’t gotten Oreo yet.

Report: Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 to Launch in Q2 2018 with Dual Cameras The international variant of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4  launched in January 2017, and it went on to become India’ best-selling smartphone of 2017 . It’s no surprising, then, that expectations are riding high on its successor, the Redmi Note 5. Since late last year, rumors of the Redmi Note 5 have been flying around the internet. In October, a Xiaomi device with an 18:9 display was certified by TENAA , and in November,  leaked photos of an 18:9 Xiaomi device appeared on social media . Most recently, in December, Xiaomi released the Redmi 5 and the Redmi 5 Plus in China with 18:9 (2:1) displays . The phones haven’t launched internationally yet, but this week, a MIUI moderator said that the Redmi 5 Plus would take the place of the rumored Redmi Note 5 in some markets. However, that seems increasingly unlikely. A new rumor from China suggests that Xiaomi is set to announce the Redmi Note 5 this year. It’s reportedly being t
