Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Meet, etc. get new icons and features as part of G Suite’s rebranding into Google Workspace

Earlier this year in July, we learned that Google was working on integrating Docs, Chat, and Meet with Gmail. And soon after the first leak popped up, Google announced the integration as an early access preview for G Suite customers. The company has now gone ahead and completely revamped G Suite as Google Workspace, with new features and icons for Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Meet, and more.

As per a blog post on the matter, the new Google Workspace offers all of the productivity apps in the company’s repertoire, including Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Meet, in one convenient location.

Thanks to this deeper integration, Google Workspace users will now be able to dynamically create and collaborate on a document with guests in a Chat room, share content, work together with others outside their organization, and ensure that everyone has access to the same information.

The company has also introduced a couple of new features for its services, including support for file previews in Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and support for @mention in documents that will bring up a smart chip with contact details.

Furthermore, the company plans to roll out Meet picture-in-picture support to Docs, Sheets, and Slides in the coming months. All these new integrations are currently limited to Google Workspace customers, but the company plans on bringing the new user experience to consumers in the coming months.

Along with the integrated user experience, the company has also adopted a new brand identity that “reflects our ambitious product vision and the way our products work together.” As part of the new brand identity, the company has now revealed new four-color icons for services like Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Meet, Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Check out the video below for a quick look at all the new icons:

Additionally, the company has announced that it will offer more tailored offerings for new Google Workspace users. These include new editions for smaller businesses that are aimed at users who are looking to make fast, self-serviced purchases and editions for larger enterprises that are designed to help organizations that have more complex implementation needs and require technical assistance. You can learn more about these new offerings by following this link.

Here are what’s likely the OnePlus 8T’s wallpapers [Download]

OnePlus is all set to launch its next flagship, the OnePlus 8T, on October 14th. The company has already started teasing the device, and we’ve seen plenty of leaks about its design and specifications so far. While OnePlus has confirmed some of these specifications, like the 4,500mAh battery capacity and 65W fast charging support, it’s yet to reveal some of the other key details about the upcoming device. As with all previous OnePlus flagships, we also expect the OnePlus 8T to come with a new set of wallpapers. But while there are still a few days before OnePlus officially unveils the device, we may have gotten our hands on the OnePlus 8T’s wallpapers.

OnePlus 8T XDA Forums

XDA Senior Member Some_Random_Username has managed to extract a new version of OnePlus Wallpaper Resources (v. 2.0.1.200916023912) which contains a few new wallpapers. And we have reason to believe that these new wallpapers are the ones that will debut with the OnePlus 8T later this month. The newly added wallpapers are appended with “k” in the name and it also includes JSON config files for “kebab”, which is widely expected to be the code-name for the OnePlus 8T. Since OnePlus is known for adding the first letter of the device code-name to the wallpaper files, we believe that these new wallpapers are for the upcoming device. Here’s a preview of what’s likely the OnePlus 8T’s wallpapers:

The attached wallpapers are a compressed version of the original, with lower file size and resolution. If you want to download the OnePlus 8T wallpapers for your device, you can get them in their original resolution from the link below.

In case you’ve not been keeping up with our coverage of the upcoming OnePlus 8T, leaks and rumors about the device suggest that it will feature a 6.55-inch “Fluid Display” with a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. The display is expected to have a touch sampling rate of 240Hz, a JNCD of around 0.3, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, HDR10+ support, and 8192 levels of brightness adjustment.

The device is rumored to feature a quad-camera setup with a 48MP primary sensor, a 16MP wide-angle sensor, a 5MP macro sensor, and a 2MP monochrome sensor. As mentioned earlier, the device will include a 4,500mAh battery with support for 65W fast charging. The company has also confirmed that it won’t be launching a “Pro” variant of its flagship this time around.

PUBG Mobile to get Payload 2.0 with new weapons and armed vehicles

Payload mode is making a comeback to PUBG Mobile. According to the information shared on the official Twitter account, Payload 2.0 is set to arrive soon. While the official release date has not been confirmed, certain sources claim that it could arrive on October 10. If you remember, the Payload mode was first introduced back in October 2019. However, it was pulled down earlier this year. This will also be the first big addition to the game ever since PUBG Mobile 1.0 was released last month.

For those who don’t know, Payload is based on the classic battle royale mode with the addition of heavier weaponry as well as the ability to fly helicopters. The mode included the M3E1-A rocket launcher, the MGL, and M79 grenade launchers, and RPG-7. It also included the ability to revive a dead teammate by picking up their ID Card and taking it to the nearest radio tower, similar to what we have seen on Apex Legends.

According to the leaked cinematic trailer, Payload 2.0 is expected to expand the previous concept with the addition of new weapons, armed vehicles, and the ability to hunt enemies using remote-controlled UAV. We can see a new rocket launch that looks like the M202 and a new radar system that lets you scan your area for vehicles. All the vehicles have also been upgraded with mounted weapons including rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, flamethrowers, and more. Notably, Payload 2.0 will make use of the newly released Erangel 2.0 map and the Chinese version of the game (Game for Peace) has already received the new mode in beta.

Unlock fierce firepower in Payload 2.0!

Coming soon! https://t.co/GvjOMZKm0P pic.twitter.com/NLggTiZYjA

Check out the leaked Payload 2.0 trailer (Credits: Mr Ghost Gaming)

Here’s everything new that you can expect on the Payload 2.0 update for PUBG Mobile:

• Portable radar: As mentioned above, players will be able to use this radar at any location. This radar will help players to scan for vehicles including cars, helicopters, and boats on the minimap and also helps in spotting approaching vehicles with enemies.
• UAV: The mode will also include a new UAV or unmanned aerial vehicle. Players can summon these using a remote device to take down enemies. Notably, the UAV will fly only in a specific direction and players can control the onboard missile launcher.
• Bomb suit: A special full-body armor, the bomb suit will be able to absorb a considerable amount of damage when it’s worn.
• New Weapons: Two new weapons are expected to make an appearance on Payload 2.0. First is the AT4-A laser-guided missile, where players can use a laser to pinpoint the exact location where they want the missile to land. The second weapon will be the M202 four-barreled rocket launcher, a high-speed launcher that can quickly fire rockets back-to-back.
• New Vehicles: All the vehicles now come with weapons including the UAZ, Dacia, Buggy, and the addition of the Pickup. These will come with flamethrowers, machine guns, rocket launchers, as well as the ability to use these cars in the water thanks to inbuilt floaties and propellers. There is also a new advanced helicopter armed with machine guns that can be used by the passengers.
• Special Base: The map will also include some new buildings that will have a high amount of loot as well as the above mentioned advanced helicopter.

Samsung is discontinuing Bixby Vision’s augmented reality features

Samsung’s virtual assistant Bixby offers a Google Lens-like feature called Bixby Vision. The feature allows users to translate words, look for products online, identify landmarks, and much more. Bixby Vision also includes a dedicated AR Zone which offers a couple of interesting features, like the ability to create AR emoji and AR stickers, check out home decor in real-time, apply makeup, measure objects, and more. However, according to a recent Android Police report, these AR-powered features may not be around for much longer.

Samsung is reportedly pushing a notice to users trying to access Bixby Vision through the stock camera app, which states that the company is dropping support for the AR features by the end of this month. As you can see in the attached screenshot, the notice states:

“Thank you for using Bixby Vision. The AR features (Places, Makeup, Home Decor, Styling) on Bixby Vision will no longer be supported starting from the end of October. The AR features that have been supported by each country may be different. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Thank you again for using Bixby Vision. We appreciate your continued interest and support.”

As of now, it isn’t clear if Samsung plans to remove all of the features available in the AR Zone or if some of the more useful ones, like Quick Measure, are going to stick around.

Samsung only mentions four of the nine features currently available on my device, including Places, Makeup, Home Decor, and Styling. So there might still be hope for some of the remaining features. It’s also worth mentioning that Samsung is only dropping support for Bixby Vision’s AR features, and this move shouldn’t have any effect on the other features offered by the service, like the recently added Quick Reader, Scene Describer, and Color Detector accessibility features.

Google Camera Go adds Night Mode and HDR for better budget phone photography

Google Camera Go is a trimmed down version of the Pixel’s Google Camera app. The app was released earlier this year in March with the Nokia 1.3, a Snapdragon 250-powered entry-level device that runs Android 10 Go Edition. As you’d expect, the app is quite barebones, and it doesn’t include most of the cool features that you’d find on the full-blown Google Camera app. However, Google has been working to bring new features to the app to give entry-level smartphone users a taste of its computational photography prowess. Earlier this year in April, we learned that the company was working to bring HDR support to Google Camera Go. But while the feature is yet to make it’s way to users, Google has now announced that it’s introducing Night Mode to the Google Camera Go app.

In a short video on the matter, Google Camera Go’s Product Manager Pranay Bhatia revealed that the Night Mode feature has started rolling out to the Nokia 1.3, Wiko Y61, and the Wiko Y81 with its latest update. With the new Night Mode, users will now be able to use Google Camera Go to click high-quality images even in low light without using the flash. As with the Night Mode feature on the full-blown Google Camera app, the mode for entry-level devices makes use of burst photography to capture multiple frames of a scene and merges them to get a brighter image. Check out the video embedded below for some sample shots taken with the new feature:

The video also confirms that Google is working to bring HDR support on Google Camera Go, which will allow users with entry-level devices to click images with a better dynamic range. But the company hasn’t revealed a release timeline for the HDR feature yet. If you’re interested in learning more about Google Camera Go and its capabilities, do check out our hands-on review of the app by following this link.

Fossil Gen 5E are new Wear OS smartwatches with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 3100

Fossil on Monday introduced the Gen 5E series, a lineup of new Wear OS smartwatches that start at just $249. The new wearables are essentially paired-down versions of last year’s Gen 5 series, and come in two different sizes and a variety of colors.

The Fossil Gen 5E is available in a new 42mm size with smaller bezels and the same 1.19-inch OLED display with 416×416 resolution, and also three new 44mm styles. No matter which size you choose, the smartwatches start at the same price — and you get many of the same features as the Fossil Gen 5 wearables.

That includes features like sleep tracking, activity tracking, and a heart rate sensor. You can also use the Fossil Gen 5E smartwatch to make and receive phone calls, so long as it’s tethered to your Android or iOS device. The smartwatches also support Google Assistant and Google Pay.

Because the Gen 5E series is similar to the Gen 5, that means you get last year’s specs, including the Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor. The Gen 5E series will also have 1GB of RAM, a 300mAh battery, and water resistance rated at 5 ATM. The price is kept low because the Gen 5E doesn’t have an ambient light sensor or standalone GPS. Internal storage has also been halved to 4GB, while the crown on the right side doesn’t rotate for navigation.

The price is certainly attractive for Fossil’s new lineup, but it arrives shortly after Mobvoi introduced the TicWatch Pro 3 with Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon Wear 4100 platform. It may be worth waiting for Fossil’s upcoming Gen 6 smartwatches to see if they feature Qualcomm’s latest silicon, because we’re found that it dramatically improves performance. Still, if you’re on the market for a stylish Wear OS smartwatch, the new Fossil Gen 5E is one of the better options out there.

Fossil said the Gen 5E will ship sometime early next month, but you can pre-order it now on Amazon for $249.

The 44mm Gen 5E smartwatch is a stylish new option from Fossil. It features a stainless steel body and ships later this month.

Looking for a smaller version of the Gen 5E? The 42mm case size is slightly more compact yet packs all the same features as the 44mm option.
