Download the new Hydrogen Icon Pack from the OnePlus 8

Following the customary period of leaks and teasers, OnePlus finally lifted the covers off the new OnePlus 8 series earlier this month. The new OnePlus 8 (review) and OnePlus 8 Pro (review), featured several improvements over the OnePlus 7T series, including Qualcomm’s latest flagship Snapdragon 865 chip, a new 120Hz high refresh rate display on the OnePlus 8 Pro, and more. On the software front as well, the company added some highly-requested features to OxygenOS, including native Google Discover feed integration and a new Hydrogen icon pack. While we aren’t sure if these features will be released for older OnePlus devices via a software update, you can now download the Hydrogen icon pack on your phone right away.

 

Thanks to our tispter, the Hydrogen icon pack is available as a standalone APK on APKMirror that you can download and install on any older OnePlus device. As you can see in the screenshot above, the new icon pack features square icons with rounded edges that fall in line with Google’s requirements to make every Play Store icon a squircle for uniformity. To use the icon pack, just follow the link below and download the Hydrogen icon pack APK on your device. Once you’ve successfully installed the APK, you’ll be able to use the icon pack by setting it up from within the OnePlus Launcher settings. Additionally, the company also released some cool new wallpapers with the OnePlus 8 series that you can download by following this link.

Popular Android app store “Aptoide” suffers major data breach

Portugal-based third-party Android app store Aptoide, which has previously been in the headlines for accusing Google of unfair treatment, has now suffered a major data breach. According to a recent report from ZDNet, the data breach affects 20 million users of the app store, whose personal information has now been shared on a renowned hacking forum. The publication was able to acquire a copy of the leaked data, in collaboration with data breach monitoring service Under the Breach, which consists of information like the user’s email address, hashed password, real name, sign-up date, sign-up IP address, device details, and date of birth (if provided).

The report further reveals that the data breach affects users who registered or used the Aptoide app store between July 21, 2016, and January 28, 2018. The leaked data, which was obtained by a hacker earlier this month, has been shared as a PostgreSQL file which also consists of technical information like account status, sign-up tokens, developer tokens, and more. The leaked data is part of a larger batch of 39 million user records, which the hacker obtained from the app store. As of now, Aptoide has not released an official comment on the matter despite ZDNet’s efforts to contact the company. It’s also worth noting that the leaked data is still available for download on the aforementioned hacking forum.

Facebook Gaming launches as a dedicated app to watch and share live gameplay

Over the last couple of years, game streaming services like Twitch have seen a steep rise in popularity. This has prompted several industry leaders, like Microsoft and Google, to launch their own streaming services. Facebook also jumped on the streaming bandwagon back in 2018 with the launch of Facebook Gaming, which allowed users to stream their gameplay on the platform. Since its inception, Facebook Gaming has grown at a steady pace and, while it still may not be as popular as Twitch or YouTube, it has managed to poach quite a few popular streamers away from these platforms. Now, in a bid to further capitalize on the recent growth in viewership, Facebook has launched a dedicated Facebook Gaming app on Android.

News regarding the new Facebook Gaming app first surfaced online yesterday, when a report from The New York Times claimed that the app would be launched on April 20th. As predicted, the app is now available on the Google Play Store and users can download it to watch and share live gameplay using just their smartphones. The app’s ability to help users share their gameplay right from their smartphones is what’s expected to give it an edge over competitors like Twitch, which require a complex setup to stream mobile games on the platform.

You can sign up for the Facebook Gaming service using your Facebook account and start streaming on the platform right away. In case you’re not looking to start your streaming career anytime soon, you can also just use the app to watch other streamers. Additionally, the app also includes support for instant games that you can enjoy without downloading them onto your device first. To make streaming and watching games a more social experience on the Facebook Gaming app, the company has also included a Connect feature that you can use to join existing gaming groups and connect with other users on the platform. As of now, the Facebook Gaming app is only available on Android, but the company plans to release the app on iOS once it receives approval from Apple.

OPPO Find X2 Lite launches as a rebranded Chinese Reno3 Vitality Edition

Towards the end of last year, OPPO launched the Reno3 and Reno3 Pro in China. The mid-range devices from the company featured MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000L chipset and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G SoC, respectively. However, the international variants of the devices that were launched earlier this year in March featured completely different specifications. Instead of the Dimensity 1000L chip, the OPPO Reno3 (global) packed in MediaTek’s Helio P90 chip, while the Reno3 Pro (global) featured the Helio P95. Then, towards the end of last month, renders of the OPPO Find X2 Lite and Find X2 Neo surfaced online, featuring the same design and specifications as the Chinese Reno3 Vitality Edition and Reno3 Pro, which led us to believe that the devices could be launched under the Find X2 Lite and Find X2 Neo moniker globally.

Early this month, the OPPO Reno3 received FCC certification which further added fuel to our speculation that the device might be launched as the Find X2 Neo. Shortly thereafter, the device appeared in another certification filing, which confirmed that the upcoming Find X2 Neo was indeed a rebranded Chinese OPPO Reno3 Pro. However, we had no confirmation regarding the Find X2 Lite so far. Now, the company has officially unveiled the Find X2 Lite over on the OPPO Portugal website and its specifications confirm that it is just a rebranded Chinese OPPO Reno3 Vitality Edition.

Specification	OPPO Find X2 Lite
Dimensions and Weight	160.3 x 74.3 x 7.96 mm 180g
Display	6.4″ FHD+ (2400 x 1080) AMOLED; Waterdrop-style notch Corning Gorilla Glass 5
SoC	Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G Adreno 620
RAM and Storage	8GB LPDDR4x RAM+128GB UFS 2.1
Battery & Charging	4,025mAh battery 30W VOOC Flash 4.0 fast charging Fast charger included within the box
Rear Camera	Photo: Primary: 48MP, f/1.7 Secondary: 8MP Wide-Angle Camera, f/2.2 Tertiary: 2MP, f/2.4 monochrome sensor Quaternary: 2MP, f/2.4 Depth Sensor Video: 4K @ 30fps 1080p @ 60fps/30fps 720p @ 60fps/30fps
Front Camera	32MP, f/2.0
Other Features	3.5mm headphone jack In-display fingerprint scanner
Android Version	ColorOS 7 based on Android 10

The new OPPO Find X2 Lite packs in Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G chip, coupled with 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 onboard storage. It features a quad-camera setup on the back with a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP wide-angle camera, a 2MP monochrome camera, and a 2MP camera for depth perception.

Over on the front, the device features a single 32MP selfie shooter which is housed within the waterdrop style notch on the 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED display. Powering the device is a 4,025mAh battery with support for OPPO’s VOOC Flash 4.0 fast charging technology that can charge the device at 30W.

The listing further reveals that the device will be available in two color variants — Moonlight Black and Pearl White — but the company hasn’t released any pricing or availability details yet. But since the product page is already live, we expect OPPO to release these details soon.

New Realme 5G smartphone gets certified with dual hole-punch selfie cameras

Realme’s X lineup has grown over the past year, as the company works on cementing its brand positioning in the Indian market. The Realme X was an early mid-range device, evolving into the Realme XT, X2, X2 Pro, and then to the X50 Pro 5G. There did appear to be a jump in the naming convention, though recent certification listings attempted to explain this with the presence of a Realme X3 SuperZoom. Now, a new Realme smartphone has passed through TENAA, signaling that the company has at least two phones scheduled for launch in the near future.

This new Realme smartphone comes with the model number RMX2142, which is different from the Realme X3 SuperZoom’s RMX2086 model number. Thus, this new phone could be from the X series, perhaps the Realme X3 5G, or it could be named something else — we could not locate concrete information on the branding just yet.

What we do have is a good look at the device, including its renders and a few key specifications.

From the renders, we can clearly spot the dual punch-hole cameras on the front. Further, the back of the device comes with a quad-camera setup, which is a common feature across Realme’s phone lineup. We can also spot a recessed power button, which indicates that the phone will have a fingerprint scanner on the side instead of under the display.

The TENAA listing also presents some key specifications. For instance, this is a 5G smartphone, with support for SA/NSA bands such as Band 41, Band 78, and Band 79 in China. Device dimensions are 163.8 × 75.8 × 8.9 mm, while the phone weighs 192g. The display is a 6.57″ FHD+ TFT LCD display, which also explains the side-fingerprint scanner. The battery on the device is a good 4,100 mAh in capacity. The listing also mentions that the “headphone and charger share port”, which essentially means that there is no headphone jack on the device.

The SoC on the phone is an octa-core unit with a max frequency of 2.4GHz. The RAM on the phone will have options of 8GB, 6GB, and 12GB, while the internal storage on the phone ranges across options of 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. The rear camera setup includes a 48MP, 8MP, 2MP, and 2MP shooters, while the front setup is a 16MP and 2MP sensor. The listing mentions that there is no optical zoom setup on the phone, so we predict that the camera setup involves a wide-angle camera, a depth sensor, and a macro camera on the rear, and a depth sensor on the front.

There aren’t any more details on the rest of the phone’s specifications, but we should be close to launching anyway, so the official teasers are likely to begin very soon.

New Xiaomi smartphone gets certified, possibly the Redmi Note 9

Xiaomi lifted the covers off the Redmi Note 9 series early last month at an online-only launch event in India. As part of the series, the company launched the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max, featuring Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 720G chip, a quad-camera setup, and up to 33W fast charging support. Unlike previous years, however, the company didn’t launch a regular Redmi Note 9 at the event and this led us to believe that the device would be launched at a later date. Now, an upcoming Redmi smartphone has surfaced on Chinese regulatory authority TENAA’s website, featuring a design similar to that of the Redmi Note 9 Pro (review) and Note 9 Pro Max.

The upcoming Redmi smartphone, which goes by the model number M2003J15Sc, appeared on TENAA last week and features a design similar to the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Note 9 Pro Max. As you can see in the attached images, it features the same back panel design with the new square camera module that Xiaomi introduced with devices in the Redmi Note 9 series. This leads us to believe that this device could be the Redmi Note 9 or another Redmi Note series variant that may be launched soon.

The listing further reveals a few key details about the device, including that the device measures in at 162.3 x 77.2 x 8.9mm and weighs 198g, features a 6.53-inch FHD+ IPS display with a screen resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels and that it’s powered by a 4,920mAh battery. Additionally, we also learn that it will feature an octa-core SoC clocked at 2.0Ghz, coupled with up to 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage. As of now, we have no further information about the upcoming device, but since it has already received TENAA certification, we expect Xiaomi to release more information soon.

Latest Magisk Canary release adds support for Android 11

Magisk by XDA Recognized Developer topjohnwu is the most popular root solution for Android devices, but because of the modifications it has to do to allow for systemless-root, it usually needs to be updated to be compatible with the latest Android release. The first Developer Preview for Android 11 was released back in February followed by the second Developer Preview last month. Today, topjohnwu released a Canary build of Magisk that can root the Android 11 Developer Preview.

60 days without root, this bad boy finally get some Magisk love pic.twitter.com/tEG6P0p32x

— John Wu (@topjohnwu) April 19, 2020

This initial Canary build is designed to work for the latest Android 11 Developer Preview releases for Pixel smartphones, though initial reports from Pixel 2 owners suggest it isn’t working for them. Bugs are to be expected given this is a Canary release, though. According to topjohnwu, SafetyNet Attestation currently passes, but it’s uncertain how long that’ll last once Google fully rolls out hardware attestation for SafetyNet.

To get started with root on Android 11, download the latest Canary Manager release or switch to the Canary release channel in Manager’s settings and then update Magisk. If you experience any issues, file a bug report on the project’s GitHub repository.
