This is what the Essential Phone 2 and 3 could’ve looked like

Essential shut down last month while the company was working on a new form factor for a smart phone but we were wondering what happened to the PH2. An ex-designer for the company just shared some images of the Essential GEM, the PH2 and the PH3. The PH2 looks pretty similar to what we saw with the PH1, but the PH3 had a centered stove triple-camera setup that resembles the Mate 20 Pro. Finally, the GEM was that one we saw last month after the company shut down.

Android’s AirDrop-like Nearby Sharing inadvertently acknowledged by 11 DP2

Last year we heard the first possibilities of an Android Beam replacement which would also be an Air Drop competitor. We heard this year that it could be renamed to Fast Share but it is still unannounced. Now, on Android 11’s Second Developer Preview there is a new reference to Fast Share. It appears under ‘Known Issues: Android Platform’ and it says that the UI is failing to confirm a successful transfer between Pixel 4 devices. At this point we don’t know exactly if Google will launch it with Android 11 but they are working on it.

iPhone 9 mass production allegedly underway

iPhone 9 is coming soon, but the iPhone 12 will most likely be delayed

A couple of days ago we heard that Foxconn was getting back to work and mass production of Apple products would continue. A new report claims that the iPhone 9 already started mass production and that the Plus variant will come along with it too. The source also confirmed that the iPhone 12 is majorly delayed and we might not see it until November.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 gets another update to fix its camera

The Galaxy S20 Ultra has been out for a while now and it was still having some camera issues that Samsung promised to address. Samsung is now finally rolling out the update which will focus on the S20’s camera and autofocus issues. Sadly, as always, there’s a catch. For those of you complaining about not having a Snadpragon processor outside the US, well, the update so far is rolling out only to international and Exynos variants. Some of the issues concern mainly the S20 Ultra which had trouble locking on a subject while using the auto-focus. We’ll keep you posted on when the Snapdragon variants get it.
