Oppo F9 Pro India launch event is on and the price is about to be revealed. This includes what is possibly one of the smallest notches seen on a smartphone. The Oppo F9 Pro launch event began with the company touting two-hour talktime via just five minutes of charging. The brand director of Oppo India, Will Yang, took the stage first. The company first spoke about its recent innovations in the smartphone space, starting with a briefing about the Oppo Find X and other smartphones Oppo has launched in its history. Then the company finally began talking about Oppo F9 Pro after this introduction, via its product manager Rishabh Srivastava. Alongside the Pro model, the company has launched the Oppo F9 smartphone in India, with 4GB RAM and 16-megapixel camera on the back. 
He called Oppo F9 Pro's VOOC fast charging technology its biggest feature. He said the smartphone can be charged for five minutes to deliver two hours of talk time. You get 11 percent of battery with five minutes of charging. With 30 minutes charge, you get 57 percent of battery. Oppo F9 Pro's VOOC flash chargers come with five layers of protection, which keeps the smartphone's battery safe even with such a high charging speed, Oppo India claims. For the Indian market, Oppo has kept voltage fluctuation in mind, which apparently protects the chargers from voltage fluctuations, and the charging cable also has more pins for this, Srivastava said. The Oppo F9 Pro has AI battery management to deliver better battery life, Oppo claims.
Oppo F9 Pro also has some AI features in the camera, which allows it to give better lighting to photos taken with the bokeh effect, the company claims. The smartphone features AI scene recognition, and an artistic portrait mode. The phone also has AR stickers, slow motion video recording, HDR mode for photos, Oppo says.
Oppo F9 Pro comes with ColorOS 5.2 with Android 8.1 Oreo. ColorOS also comes with Google Lens integrated.

Apple releases new iOS 12 beta, putting a stop to infuriating update notification

A new iOS update is now available (for real) “A new iOS update is now available. Please update from the iOS 12 beta.” If you’ve been running the latest version of Apple’s beta software for OS 12, you’ve likely been pestered by this notification a whole lot over the last 24 hours. Dozens of times? Potentially hundreds? Yesterday, it started showing up every time an iOS device was unlocked — or even if you just pulled down the notification tray a little bit. Thankfully, just as we enter Labor Day weekend, Apple has shipped another iOS 12 update to restore sanity. If you open up your iPhone’s settings, iOS 12 public beta 10 (developer beta 12) is now available to download. Once you do, the obnoxious, constant alert — about an update that didn’t even exist — will go away. GuilhermeRamo managed to pinpoint what went wrong with the last iOS 12 beta. The build thought it was about to expire, thus setting off the string of notifications and mass frustration: This annoying hiccup...

WhatsApp for iPhone Gets Face ID, Touch ID Biometric Authentication

HIGHLIGHTS WhatsApp for iPhone has a Screen Lock option to enable the new feature The feature can be enabled immediately or after an interval Outlook and Signal are offering a similar experience for some time WhatsApp for iPhone has received an important update through build version 2.19.20. The latest update brings the anticipated biometric authentication that allows users to lock the WhatsApp on their iPhone models by deploying the native Face ID or Touch ID. The new feature, which has been in anticipation since October last year - when the new authentication addition was reported for the first time, works similarly to how you can lock Outlook or Signal on your iPhone. It essentially applies biometric authentication to open WhatsApp. However, the feature doesn't add the additional security to your individual WhatsApp conversations. WhatsApp for Android is also in the rumours to bring a similar form of authentication layer in the coming future. With the la...
