LG G7 One and LG G7 Fit announced, the former with Snapdragon 835

By
IFA is starting in Berlin and companies have already begun announcing the devices they will unveil at the conference. LG introduced today the LG G7 One and the LG G7 Fit as an addition to its smartphone portfolio.
The first phone arrives with Snapdragon 835 chipset as part of the Android One program, while the latter has an older processor and likely a more affordable price tag.

LG G7 One

The LG G7 One is the first phone from the G-series with the Snapdragon 835 since LG G6arrived with the older Snapdragon 821 after Samsung hoarding all the 835s, while the LG G7 ThinQ flagship came with Snapdragon 845.
The new phone has a 6.1” QHD+ FullVision panel. It comes with a notch on top and an extremely high 19.5:9 ratio. The cutout hides the proximity sensor, LED notification light, selfie camera, and the earpiece. There is a slight chin below, and the fingerprint scanner can be found on the back.

There is only one memory combination - 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage with microSD port for up to 512 GB more. Since the phone is on the Android One program, it has stock Android Oreo 8.1 and should be getting Android Pie 9 soon enough.
There is one camera on the back with 16 MP sensor with f/1.6 aperture. The selfie shooter is 8 MP with f/1.9 lens and 80-degree field of view. It is not the widest of angles but is good enough to let more friends into your selfies.
The G7 One has a flagship processor (albeit a year old) and a top-notch screen, pun intended, but LG didn’t cut corners in the other aspects as well. There is Quad DAC, DTS:X, IP68 and MIL-STD 810G compatibility and Quick Charge 3.0 for the 3,000 mAh battery.

LG G7 Fit

The Korean manufacturer reported another quarterly loss in the mobile division, and the new G7 Fit is likely one of the "new competitive models" LG promised to unveil last month. The phone has a less impressive Snapdragon 821 chipset but it keeps the flagship screen seen in the ThinQ and the One variants, along with other premium features.
The G7 Fit has 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage, just like the G7 One. There is another version, called LG G7 Fit+ at some markets, which has 64 GB storage, and both arrive with a microSD slot. The company says it can provide up to 2 TB more, but we all know this is just in theory; in practice, there isn’t a microSD card bigger than 512 GB currently on the market.

Quad DAC, water- and dust-proofing are in the G7 Fit as well and the battery is also 3,000 mAh. The phone is not on the Android One program, meaning it might switch from Android Oreo 8.1 to Android Pie a bit later than its One sibling.
All new phones share the physical dimensions of the well-known LG G7 ThinQ. We know that the LG G7 One will arrive in New Moroccan Blue and New Aurora Black, while the LG G7 Fit will be available in New Aurora Black and New Platinum Gray. What we don’t know is pricing and availability which will be unveiled later this week.

Pinterest files for IPO, but avoids calling itself a social network

By
The latest Silicon Valley company to  file for an initial public offering is Pinterest , the San Francisco-based social network and image board that in recent years has built a large advertising and commerce business from its growing user base. The company, although it is still not profitable, says it earned more than $750 million in revenue last year, and it’s cut its losses from nearly $200 million in 2016 down to just under $75 million annually. Pinterest says it was in fact profitable in the fourth quarter of 2018, but not profitable enough to get out of the red for the full calendar year. The company, headed up by original co-founder and CEO Ben Silbermann, plans to go public on the New York Stock Exchange. It joins  ride-hailing giants Uber and Lyft ,  on-demand delivery company Postmates ,  workplace communications platform Slack , and  hotel and short-term home rental service Airbnb  as one of the handful of Silicon Valley companies said to...

Apple records first-ever accident in self-driving car programme

By
The self-driving car was rear-ended while merging onto an expressway near the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters New York:  An Apple Inc self-driving car was rear-ended while merging onto an expressway near the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters this month, the company said in an accident report posted on Friday that confirmed the iPhone maker is still in the race to build autonomous vehicles. Apple executives have never publicly spoken about the company’s self-driving car programme, but filings in a criminal court case last month confirmed that the company had at least 5,000 employees working on the project and that it was working on circuit boards and a “proprietary chip” related to self-driving cars. Apple is entering a crowded field where rivals such as Alphabet Inc’s Waymo unit and traditional carmakers such as General Motors Co’s Cruise Automation, as well as startups such as Silicon Valley’s Zoox, are pouring billions of dollars into cars that can drive the...

Huawei Employee Reportedly Reveals Android P Name, And It’s Not What You Think

By
It’s that time of the year when the world speculates on which dessert will be used as the name for the next Android version. While there have been several easter eggs and hints about Android P’s official name, there’s no clarity on what it might actually be called. According a report by   Tabeltowo , a Huawei employee might have just leaked the full name of Android P as Android Pistachio. During a live chat with a customer, the Huawei support staff clearly said Android Pistachio in relation to a query about software updates in Poland, as seen in the image below: While simply Pistachio might not make sense to most people, considering the fact that Google is known for naming its Android version after desserts, a previous report might help. Back in February,  Bloomberg had reported  that Android P would be called Android Pistachio Ice Cream which makes more sense than just Pistachio. But we are sure you have other P-themed desserts in mind for...
