After months of leaks and teasers, OnePlus finally launched the OnePlus 8 series earlier this month.

Indian Pricing

India is currently in the middle of a lockdown because of COVID-19, because of which, many OEMs have had to shelve their plans. Nonetheless, the company is going ahead with a price reveal.

The OnePlus 8 series will be available in the following RAM and storage variants at the below-mentioned prices:

• OnePlus 8:
  • 6GB + 128GB: ₹41,999 (Amazon.in exclusive) (Glacial Green)
  • 8GB + 128GB: ₹44,999 (Onyx Black, Glacial Green)
  • 12GB + 256GB: ₹49,999 (Onyx Black, Glacial Green, Interstellar Glow)
• OnePlus 8 Pro:
  • 8GB + 128GB: ₹54,999 (Onyx Black, Glacial Green)
  • 12GB + 256GB: ₹59,999 (Onyx Black, Glacial Green, Ultramarine Blue)
• OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z: ₹1,999 (Black, Blue, Mint, Oat)

XDA Review: OnePlus 8 || OnePlus 8 Pro

Interestingly, India gets a lower RAM variant and an even lower starting price point ($549). Even the matching variants are priced lower in India. For instance, the starting 8GB + 128GB variant of the OnePlus 8 costs ~$588, which is a good ~$100 cheaper than the US pricing of $699. Similarly, the OnePlus 8 Pro’s 12GB + 256GB variant costs ~$785, which is a far cry from the $999 price tag for the top variant. Even the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z is half the price. Keep in mind that the Indian variant lacks some 5G bands, which is a non-issue for India because the country does not have 5G anyway.

The phones and accessories will be available across all online and offline channels when the sale is made possible in India in line with the government’s COVID-19 advisories.

Here is the complete price chart for major markets:

Device	USD	UK	EU	India
OnePlus 8 – 6GB RAM + 128GB storage: Glacial Green	–	–	–	₹41,999 (~$549)
OnePlus 8 – 8GB RAM + 128GB storage: Onyx Black, Glacial Green	$699	£599	€699	₹44,999 (~$589)
OnePlus 8 – 12GB RAM + 256GB storage: Interstellar Glow	$799	£699	€799	₹49,999 (~$654)

Update 2: Open sales delayed

The open sales for the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro in India were scheduled for May 29, 2020. Unfortunately, OnePlus has now announced that the open sales for the devices have now been postponed indefinitely.

The announcement post mentions that production was temporarily halted. The reason has not been specified, but external sources suggest it is because of workers testing positive for COVID-19 at the assembling facility. The OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro for the Indian region are assembled in India, which is the reason why they are priced competitively, relatively speaking.

Production for the devices is back up and running, but the delay has altered the sales plan. Consequently, the devices will not go on open sale on the mentioned date. Instead, the OnePlus 8 will be available in very limited quantity on the date. Further information on the open sales schedule will be communicated soon.

[Update: Official] Samsung is planning to offer a debit card this summer

Update (5/27/20 @ 9:55 AM ET): The Samsung Money debit card is now official and the company has shared more information about it.

Samsung is the latest tech company looking to get into the personal finance game. According to Samsung, the company is planning to introduce a debit card for Samsung Pay this summer. The card will be backed by SoFi, an online personal finance company that has gained traction in the last five years.

Tech companies getting into personal finance is becoming a trend. The Apple Card is a credit card that was launched in 2019, whereas Google’s rumored to be working on a debit card of its own. Samsung’s plan is more in line with what we’re hearing about Google’s plan. The Samsung debit card will be tied into Samsung Pay and offer users more ways to manage money.

Samsung Pay was launched in 2015 and it allows select Galaxy devices to pay at virtually any terminal thanks to Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST). In contrast, platforms such as Google Pay and Apple Pay only use NFC for payments. To date, Samsung Pay has been about mobile payments and rewards, but the introduction of the debit card will bring new money management tools to the service as well.

This announcement comes as Samsung celebrates 5 years of Samsung Pay. The company says they will have more information to share in the coming weeks. What do you think of the idea of a Samsung debit card? Is this something you’re interested in?

Update: Official

Earlier this month, Samsung revealed it would be releasing a debit card in the coming weeks. The time has come for the full unveiling and that debit card is officially called “Samsung Money by Sofi.” It’s a Mastercard issued by The Bancorp Bank and it ties into Samsung Pay, as expected.

The Samsung Money debit card comes with a cash management account and no account fees and higher interest than the national average. The key here is the Samsung Pay integration, though. Users can apply for the card directly in the Samsung Pay app and they can use it digitally before the physical card arrives. Samsung Pay is where users can check their balance, see a timeline of purchases, freeze the card, and flag charges.

All of that, however, is pretty standard stuff. There are a few Samsung-centric features as well. The Samsung Money debit card earns Samsung Rewards points, which can be redeemed on purchases of Samsung products. The company is also promising that accounts will be FDIC insured for up to $1.5 million, which is 6 times higher than most debit cards. The SoFi partnership also allows Samsung Money users to access 5,000 ATMs in the Allpoint ATM network without any charges.

The card is launching later this summer and people can sign up here for the waitlist.

Realme X3 SuperZoom, Redmi 10X, Realme 6i/6s, and iQOO Z1 forums are open

As countries around the globe ease lockdown restrictions and begin their slow march towards normalcy, smartphone companies are also pressing forward with new product launches. This month has been chock-full of announcements with the likes of Realme, Redmi, iQOO, and LG taking the wraps off their latest smartphone offerings. 

To make it easier for device owners and potential buyers to discourse, share tips & tricks, and collaborate on custom developments, we have opened XDA forums for the Realme X3 SuperZoom, Redmi 10X, Realme 6i/6s, and iQOO Z1.

Realme X3 SuerZoom

The Realme X3 SuperZoom is the latest affordable flagship contender from Oppo’s sister company. The phone boasts a 6.57-inch LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate and is powered by last year’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ SoC. The main highlight of the phone is the quad-camera setup on the back with the 8MP telephoto sensor offering up to 60x digital zoom and 5x optical zoom. 

Realme X3 SuperZoom XDA Forums

Redmi 10X/10X Pro

The much-awaited Redmi 10X series was finally announced in China yesterday. The Redmi 10X is powered by the latest MediaTek Dimensity 820 SoC and offers a big 6.57-inch AMOLED panel. The display lacks high refresh rate support, but, for what it’s worth, it does offer 180Hz touch sampling rate. The phone has a sizeable 4,520 mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging support, up to 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, and triple cameras consisting of a 48MP primary, 8MP wide-angle, and 5MP macro sensor. The Redmi 10X Pro is the same as the base 10X 5G in most regards but packs an additional 8MP telephoto camera, up to 25G storage, and faster 33W charging support. 

Redmi 10X/10X Pro XDA Forums

Redmi 6i & Redmi 6s

The Realme 6i was announced earlier in March shortly after the launch of the Redmi 6 series. The phone has a 6.5-inch HD+ display, MediaTek Helio G80 SoC, quad cameras, and a 5,000 mAh battery. The Realme 6s, on the other hand, was launched alongside the Realme X3 SuperZoom just yesterday. The main highlights of the phone include a 6.5-inch Full HD+ display with a 90Hz screen refresh rate and MediaTek Helio G90T SoC. The phone packs a 4,300 mAh battery, four cameras, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, and comes with Android 10. 

Realme 6i XDA Forums || Realme 6s XDA Forums

iQOO Z1

The iQOO Z1 is the latest flagship from Vivo’s sub-brand. It’s also the first to be powered by MediaTek’s newest flagship SoC: Dimensity 1000 Plus. The 6.57-inch IPS display with a crazy 144Hz screen refresh rate is undoubtedly the main selling point of the iQOO Z1, but it’s equally impressive in other areas as well, packing a 4,500 mAh battery with 44W fast charging, up to 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, and 5G connectivity.

[Update: Unity Plugin] Google open sources Cardboard so developers can build educative VR experiences in their apps

Update (5/27/20 @ 9:10 AM ET): Google releases the Cardboard Unity SDK so developers can create smartphone XR experiences using Unity.

Last month, Google announced a handful of new products at the annual “Made by Google” event. However, one product was quietly discontinued: Daydream VR. The VR platform was not mentioned on the Pixel 4’s specification sheet and Google later confirmed the absence. Today, the company is making moves in VR to open source the once-popular Google Cardboard.

Like a lot of tech companies, Google was once bullish on the budding potential of VR. They created the Daydream VR platform that other companies could use to make VR headsets and even made their own hardware. Cardboard, on the other hand, was a quirky low-tech approach to VR, and it was probably more successful than Daydream. Google is now open-sourcing Cardboard.

Previously, Google made the technical specifications of the physical Cardboard “headset” available for anyone to download. Now they are taking the same approach on the software side of things. Developers are free to build new experiences for Cardboard and add support to their apps. Google will continue to make some contributions, most notably an SDK package for Unity.

We’re releasing libraries for developers to build their Cardboard apps for iOS and Android and render VR experiences on Cardboard viewers. The open source project provides APIs for head tracking, lens distortion rendering and input handling. We’ve also included an Android QR code library, so that apps can pair any Cardboard viewer without depending on the Cardboard app.

One thing that VR is still useful for is education and Google hopes this opens the door for more experiences in that area. To get started with the Cardboard open source project, head on over to the GitHub page or read the developer documentation. This is a cool move for anyone still interested in mobile VR, but it also shows how Google isn’t really invested in it anymore.

Update: Unity Plugin

Google ceased active development on Cardboard VR last November and open-sourced the project. At that time, the company said it would continue to make some contributions, including an SDK package for Unity. Today, Google makes good on that promise.

Google has released the Cardboard Unity SDK for users who prefer to develop in Unity. The open-source plugin for Unity is now available in the Unity Asset Store. Google is also providing a sample app for iOS and Android to aid developers in debugging their creations. The company says this is another step away from smartphone VR as they leave it in the hands of the community.

Google tests showing related gameplay videos in Play Store listings

The Google Play Store is home to millions of apps and in order to help users find the right app, the company keeps introducing new features to either simplify the process or offer more useful information. For instance, the company added new download count and app size components to the search results earlier this year in March. Then, in an attempt to help users find apps easily, Google started testing new search filters for ratings earlier this month. Now, according to a recent report from Android Police, the company has started showing related gameplay videos from YouTube in Play Store listing to give users an idea of what to expect when they download a game.

The related gameplay videos appear under a new “Watch others play” section on popular game listings on the Play Store. As you can see in the attached screenshot, the recommended videos are sourced from YouTube and appear in a side-scrolling carousel within the new section.

As of now, it isn’t clear if the videos play directly within the Play Store or if they open up in the YouTube app and we weren’t able to test this since the feature wasn’t available on any of our devices. This leads us to believe that Google is currently testing the feature with a limited number of users and might roll it out to more users in the coming weeks. Additionally, as Android Police points out, the company might use this feature to cross-promote content from its YouTube Gaming partners onto the Play Store.

This isn’t the first time Google has tested cross-promoting one of its services on another one of its platforms. Just a few days ago, we learned that the YouTube app for Android was testing a new feature that showed Google Search results within the app when searching for videos on YouTube.

How to bring back OnePlus’ full screen gestures on the OnePlus 5/5T following OxygenOS 10 (Android 10) update

OnePlus recently rolled out the stable Android 10 update for 2017’s OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T in the form of OxygenOS 10 after a brief beta testing phase. Apart from introducing features like Game Space, the company also brings in a revised gesture mechanism. Many OnePlus 5/5T users are not exactly happy to discover that the original OnePlus full-screen gesture implementation goes missing after the OxygenOS 10 update. Worry not, as XDA Senior Member Pierre02 has already discovered a simple trick to restore the good old gestures on both the OnePlus 5 and 5T.

OnePlus 5 XDA Forums ||| OnePlus 5T XDA Forums

As it turned out, OnePlus’ implementation of full-screen gestures (which was first landed through Android Oreo-based OxygenOS Open Beta 5/3) is still inside the new firmware. It’s only hidden from regular settings but is still fully functional if you enable the hidden preference, which is what users on our forums discovered how to do. The good thing is, root access is not mandatory to perform the steps.

All you need to do is get your hands on an app that allows you to alter the values in Android’s Settings Database, like SetEdit. After installing the app, navigate to the “System Table” and search for the variable named op_gesture_button_side_enabled. This is a Boolean flag, thus setting its value to 0 instantly brings back the old full-screen gestures. In case you need to restore the new implementation, just set the value as 1.

Here’s how those old OnePlus style full-screen gestures work:

• Back: Swipe up from the bottom left/right side
• Home: Swipe up from the bottom (center)
• Recent apps: Swipe up and hold from the bottom (center)

Restoring OnePlus Gestures on OnePlus 5/5T running OxygenOS 10 — XDA Discussion Thread

For a quick refresher, Google did introduce their own full-screen gestures in Android 10. They even made including those gestures mandatory in Android 10, but OEMs are still allowed to offer their own gestures. We hope that OnePlus will add a simple toggle in their OxygenOS skin in the future to give end-users the freedom to switch between different gesture styles.
