Google Goes On A Diet - Ditching Desserts


Up until now, Google has been naming each version of Android after desserts, however, to our surprise, the tech giant has completely ditched the traditional naming scheme for the latest Android 10 release.

Google has officially announced that the upcoming Android version would be called Android 10 and future releases would follow the new sans-dessert names as well such as Android 11 and so on.


This new naming pattern is a lot less erratic especially for those users who aren't really familiar with the traditional dessert names for Android.

Not only has Google deserted the dessert naming scheme for its future Android versions but it has also changed the logo for Android and made it a tad more minimalistic.



The company's YouTube video shows the subtle tweaks made to the Android logo such as moving the Android robot's eyes lower and making a few other adjustments to the shape of the head.

What are your thoughts on Google's new naming pattern?

Oppo is on a smartphone release streak. The company has been launching new devices just about every second month. Its newest budget smartphone to launch is the Oppo Reno A which was launched today in Japan. The Reno A comes with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a FullHD+ resolution. Powering the device is the tried and tested Snapdragon 710 processor coupled with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage . Oppo's budget-oriented device has a decent 3600mAh battery which should get you through a day of use on a single charge. What's even more interesting is that the device comes with an IP67 water and dust resistant rating. It's still rare to see budget smartphones to have an official Ingress Protection rating so kudos to Oppo. On the rear, we get dual rear cameras. The primary sensor is a 12MP wide-angle lens and paired with it is the 2MP depth sensor . To be honest, it would have been great if Oppo went with an ultra-wide-angle lens for the second camera. However, given...

Is The Google Pixel 4 Waterproof?

Google unveiled its flagship duo for the year, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL . Both devices were heavily leaked before the launch and there isn't really anything new that surprised us. The Pixel 4 and 4 XL start at a price of  $799 and  $899 respectively and you might be wondering whether or not the Pixel 4 duo is waterproof. Well, you can ease your mind since the new flagship devices from Google indeed have an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. This means that the Pixel 4 duo should be able to survive being submerged under 1.5m of water for 30 minutes . Of course, it's worth noting that an Ingress Protection rating does not always guarantee that the device would always survive being submerged in water or exposed to dust. Nonetheless, while we weren't surprised by the specifications and features on the latest Pixel duo, what surprised is that the Pixel 4 duo would not be brought over to India. It seems Google has decided to skip one of the largest...
