Did you all know that OnePlus has been confirmed as one of the brands with the top model in the Android industry since the devices were launched so far by the company as they have responded fully to the needs of users? However, recently there were rumors about a new device that the company would plan to launch an improved variant of OnePlus 3.
OnePlus 3T Coming Soon With Snapdragon 821, Android 7.0 Nougat
OnePlus has been confirmed as one of the brands with the top model in the Android industry since the devices launched so far by the company have responded fully to the needs of users, especially the last one, the impressive OnePlus 3. Yes, now you all might be thinking that why I told “especially the last one”, of course, it means that simply I am talking about a new device.
Everyone expected that the Chinese firm OnePlus launched just one device per year. However, recently there were rumors about a new device that the company would plan to launch an improved variant of OnePlus 3.
OnePlus A3010, or what would be a new variant of the flagship OnePlus 3, it has been certified by 3C in China earlier this month. The funny thing is that when everyone was thinking it would be called as OnePlus 3S, because now it has become fashionable to use the letter “S”, but, the name for this device will be OnePlus 3T or OnePlus 3 Turbo.
According to the recent rumors that haunt this new device, the OnePlus 3T or OnePlus 3 Turbo will sport a Snapdragon 821 chip instead of Snapdragon 820 which is already integrated into the OnePlus 3. As it is the one way to continue to offer very good specifications and be at par in performance than the Pixel and many other smartphones that use the new SoC of Qualcomm.
OnePlus 3T
It is expected to be released in the coming weeks and its screen has been rumored a lot about whether it will be LCD or AMOLED. The possible use of LCD screen due to the shortage of AMOLED displays, although the co-founder of OnePlus, Carl Pei, has confirmed that the company will continue using the screens AMOLED through his official Twitter profile (https://twitter.com/getpeid/status/786463995112808448).
What about the other specifications?
It will have 6GB of RAM LPDDR4, 64 GB of internal storage (UFS 2.0), 16MP camera on the back with LED flash, IMX298 sensor, front camera of 8 MP, a fingerprint sensor, 4G VoLTE support, USB Type- C, 3000 mAh battery (Dash Charge) and the design is expected to keep the same lines that the original OnePlus 3 already has. what does that could differentiate you is that this device will come with the latest version of Android, yes, of course, Android 7.0 Nougat.
Also, the OnePlus 3Q is also expected to be the same price as the OnePlus 3 and could replace soon. We’re in expectation of having another terminal OnePlus that, based on be giving safe steps, is aimed to become something more than it was when we first met that OnePlus that could only be acquired through the invitation from someone.
After Samsung Galaxy Note 7 now Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge has reportedly exploded while it was being charged overnight. Owner claims that he used an original Samsung charger to charge his phone.
After Note 7, Now Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Started Exploding
We all know that Galaxy Note 7 had everything to be a sales success but turned out to be a torment for the South Korean company. After the first explosions were reported, the company then actually stopped selling this smartphone and started worldwide a replacement program.
The replacement program also didn’t work and that’s what made Samsung suspend the production of its flagship device known as Galaxy Note 7. Following this, another high-end device from Samsung is catching fire that is Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

It looks like problems for Samsung just refuse to end, a user reported that his Samsung Galaxy S7 exploded while on charge. Phone Arena reported that “The user just received the unit two weeks ago after turning in his Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (version 2 with the “safe” battery).
The owner of the handset reported he was charging his phone with the original Samsung charger overnight when his phone caught fire automatically. The image shared by the publication shows that the exploded Galaxy S7 Edge is completely totaled, and beyond repair.
Img Source: Phone Arena
This is not the first time Samsung Galaxy S7 exploded, previous month, we saw that S7 Edge exploded inside the pocket of the owner which gave serious third degree burns. The owner has to undergo a complicated skin graft surgery and currently under extensive physical therapy.
After the first incidence, Samsung sent pop-up messages to users just to reassure that their Galaxy S7 units were completely safe, and there is no need to recall the devices. However, after the latest incident, it may soon become essential for Samsung to change stance and investigate seriously.
Many users claim that The number “7” is unlucky because almost all popular brands attached with number “7” is exploding. We have seen Galaxy Note 7 exploding, iPhone 7 Exploding and now Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. What do you think about it? Let’s us know in the comment section below.
This 13-Year-Old Girl Used A $5 Device To Produce Clean Energy
We all know very well that developing countries need high energy production to continue to grow and to prosper sustainably. The main problem is that energy production is expensive, although there is one exception: the renewable energy from the wind or sun.
This 13-Year-Old Girl Used A $5 Device To Produce Clean Energy
Developing countries need high energy production to continue to grow and to prosper sustainably. The main problem is that energy production is expensive, although there is one exception: the renewable energy from the wind or sun.
That is why creating a form or mechanism of production of this type of energy and that may be available to anyone is not entirely simple, but a recent competition for young talent in the United States has managed to find the key piece.
American Maanasa Mendu, a 13-year old girl from Ohio, has won the competition for young scientists from the US to create a solar energy to generate clean sheets. The good thing about her invention is that her invention only cost $ 5 to produce clean energy, even that also with a rudimentary installation.
13-year old girl from Ohio, Maanasa Mendu also won the reward of $25,000 for her achievement along with the winner title of “America’s Top Young Scientist”.
5 Dollar Invention
Mendu said that she was inspired by a trip to India, she saw many families had no access to light and water, and began to think of about some invention. From there she would have got the idea to make clean energy at an affordable way for everyone.
The mechanism that inspired her device are the plants, which is structured in a series of “leaves” that are able to capture the energy from precipitation, wind and light using solar panels and a piezoelectric material.
5 Dollar Invention
After the first version of her invention, her mentor Margauz Mitera helped her to perfect it, focusing on the creation of solar leaves to take advantage of the vibrational energy.
The device, for now, is only an idea, however, Mendu designed and built with what she had available. The dream of the young now is to build the prototype, conduct further tests and to ensure that, one day, that mechanism is reproduced on a large scale and it really makes a difference. An ambitious desire for a 13-year-old girl, but that is not so far from reality.
Study Report: At Least 15% Of Home Routers Are Unsecured
We all know very well that how the last internet suffered due to massive attack which clearly showed that many devices that are spread over the Internet can be used for improper purposes. Hence, a study report showed that at least 15% of home routers are vulnerable to such attacks.
Study Report: At Least 15% Of Home Routers Are Unsecured
The attack for which the Internet suffered last Friday showed clearly that many devices that are spread over the Internet can be used for improper purposes.
These devices are vulnerable and may easily be used to make attacks. The problem is so large that 15% of routers can be attacked by using simple passwords and not only that they are easily guessable as well.
A study by ESET evaluated 12,000 home routers in which they found security flaws that their users were not aware of them.
Weak Passwords On Routers
The most common flaw, which affects 15% of this devices due to the use of weak passwords and can be guessed easily, avoiding having to resort to more complicated attacks. Also, the username most used is the well-known “admin”, which leads to that is very simple to enter these devices and then use them to carry out attacks on the Internet.
Study Report
To add to this easy access to the management interfaces, other services are exposed and they also have simple access passwords and users with elevated permissions.
But apart from this problem, there are gaps in the implementations of services, which makes them vulnerable and exposed to attack. The study found that the vast majority of these routers, over 50% have problems with access permissions.
The second biggest problem found, 38%, is the possibility of being injected commands in the routers, which then provides access to protected areas. Finally got the XSS problem (cross-site scripting).
Report
Finally, ESET’s study also revealed some very basic flaws, easily detected with a simple search of open ports on the device as, many services are accessible over the Internet and have flaws. Among all the most glaring was the telnet, which was present in 20% of the devices.
The security measures are well known, so, simply use strong passwords and restrict access to all non-essential users. However, the ongoing updates and vulnerability research is something that should also be done periodically to avoid all this type of attacks.
Xiaomi Can Silently Install Any Application On Your Android Device
As we all know very well that the Chinese smartphone manufacturer has become one of the largest manufacturers of smartphones, as it offering good built quality with an excellent level of hardware at a very reasonable price. But, recently a security practitioner discovered that Xiaomi can silently install any application on your Android device.
Xiaomi Can Silently Install Any Application On Your Android Device
Xiaomi has become one of the largest manufacturers of smartphones in the world of smartphone, as it offering good built quality with an excellent level of hardware at a very reasonable price. In addition, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer uses their mobile phones with Google’s operating system, yes, of course, it’s Android and everyone knows that it is the most popular and widely used OS worldwide.
However, like many other manufacturers of smartphones, Xiaomi used its own customized interface or UI, better known as MIUI. Xiaomi performs the pre-installation of certain applications simply to increase the device performance. In this case, as everyone knows its interface MIUI, but there are other preinstalled applications in the device of the Chinese manufacturer we don’t really know that what those apps are and what their purposes.
The question actually arises here that, do these apps pose any threat to your security or privacy?
Simply to find out the actual role of these applications that comes pre-installed on Xiaomi smartphones, a Computer Science student as well as a security practitioner and the owner of a Xiaomi Mi4 smartphone, Broenink from Netherland, begin an investigation to know the actual role, behaviour and purpose of the mysterious pre-installed app, which is known as “AnalyticsCore.apk”, which runs non-stop in the background and even it reappeared later if you delete it.
But, the security enthusiast, Broenink asked about its purposes in the support forums of the company, but the company did not respond. Hence, the student began to study the behaviour of the application and realized that the software sent information to the official server of the company periodically.
Even it can also allow the company Xiaomi to install any applications on any Xiaomi device, as the security enthusiast also investigated that if there was an application or update for the “Analytics.apk” app, but he found that it can be downloaded and install on the device without notifying the user. It is not the first time Xiaomi is related to the pre-installation of adware and spyware. However, now it clearly seems that history could repeat this back door again.
“So it looks like Xiaomi can replace any (signed?) package they want silently on your device within 24 hours. And I’m not sure when this App Installer gets called, but I wonder if it’s possible to place your own Analytics.apk inside the correct dir, and wait for it to get installed,” Thijs Broenink said.
What is really worrying is that Xiaomi can install any applications on our smartphones without notifying us, yes it means silently. Even this can be also exploited by any third parties, as they could use this as a means of access as vulnerability to install malicious applications on our devices.
“This sounds like a vulnerability to me anyhow, since they have your IMEI and Device Model, they can install any APK for your device specifically,” Thijs Broenink said.
As a workaround, Broenink recommends users of Xiaomi to use any firewall app simply to block all connections to related Xiaomi domains and prevent it from performing any attack as the man-in-the-Middle takes advantage of these connections.

Nokia Bell Labs and the Technical University of Munich are responsible for a new technique for data transmission that can offer a terabit per second (Tbps) which is much higher than the Google’s fiber network. It means with 1Tbps we could download the entire series of Game of Thrones in HD in one second.
Nokia Reaches 1Tbps Data Transfer Speed
We all know that the NOKIA is a Finnish multinational company which only manufacture mobile phones, but, hold on, actually many of us are unaware of the true potential of the Finnish multinational company. NOKIA is a Finnish multinational communications and information technology company, founded in 1865.
After the sellout of its mobile phone business, the Finnish multinational company Nokia began to concentrate more broadly on its telecommunications infrastructure business, marked by the divestiture of its “Here Maps” division, its venture in virtual reality, and the acquisitions of French telecommunications company which is known as Alcatel-Lucent and digital health maker Withings in 2016.
However, the Nokia Bell Labs which became a subsidiary of Nokia Corporation after the takeover of Alcatel-Lucent. It was subsequently renamed Nokia Bell Labs. Nokia Bell Labs and the Technical University of Munich are responsible for a new technique for data transmission that can offer a terabit per second (Tbps) over fiber (could download the entire series of Game of Thrones in HD in one second).
But, for now, Google’s 1Gbps fiber network offers the best speeds to the home users. The new technique for data transmission is known as Probabilistic Constellation Shaping (PCS), competes directly with another advance technology in the world of optics presented by the researchers at University College London (UCL) earlier this year, ensuring speeds up to 1.25Tbps.
These Terabit networks could help to evolve into a more nimble Internet, as well as operators and companies that could improve the range and transmission capacity with the high-speed data networks.
The present system uses quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) to achieve greater transmission capacity through a given channel, thus improving the spectral efficiency of optical communications, as indicated from Nokia.
The actual idea is to modify the probability with which the constellation points, the alphabet of the transmission, are used. Traditionally, all constellation points are used with equal frequency. PCS cleverly uses constellation points with a large amplitude less frequently than those with lower amplitude to transmit beacons that on average, are more repellent to noise and other deteriorations. This allows the transmission rate to be adapted ideally to the transmission channel.
However, the technology is yet to be released to the market, as there is still nothing confirm dates were announced for the implementation of this technology in real networks, but it seems to be the part of the revolution “5G” that we could actually expect to see on 2020.
