Now, the company has announced that it’s bringing the device to one of the biggest smartphone markets in the world — India. The OnePlus 3T will be available exclusively on Amazon India with sales starting on December 14 (from 12.01am IST). As in other countries, you’ll be able to choose between the 64 GB or 128 GB model, which will retail for Rs. 29,999 and Rs. 34,999 respectively.


Compared with its slightly older brother, the OnePlus 3T brings a few hardware upgrades to the table. It features the Snapdragon 821 processor, an improved 16 MP selfie camera, a larger 3,400 mAh battery and also comes with a 128 GB of storage option. It’s the company’s most expensive device yet and is available in two color options — the already seen Soft Gold and the all new Gunmetal.

Will anyone be sad to lose Samsung’s physical home button?

The physical home button is a smartphone facet that’s slowly becoming extinct. In 2016, the flagship devices from Google, Sony, LG, and Huawei all lacked such a button on their hardware. Meanwhile, Samsung has been holding onto the physical home button – it was still in place on its most recent flagship, the ill-fated  Galaxy Note 7  – though the company is expected to ditch it on its upcoming flagship, the  Galaxy S8 . But what impact will losing physical home buttons have? To answer that, let’s first explore its origins.

Some Android app updates could cut their file sizes by 65 percent or more

As any Android smartphone owner knows, updates from the  Google Play Store  can come quite frequently for many popular apps. They can also use up data if updates are conducted on a cellular network. Today, Google announced a new approach for Android app downloads. The good news is this method could solve the problem of using a ton of data for such updates.

In 2016, the company began using the bsdiff algorithm to cut app file size updates by 47 percent. File-by-File patching can go even further, reducing app updates by an average of 65 percent. In fact, some app updates could be cut down by as much as 90 percent with this method. Normally, an APK file is compressed using a technology called Deflate, but Google says any change to the app’s original uncompressed content “can make the compres...
