Android Pie Beta with One UI for Galaxy S9, S9+ and Note9 available on November 15


At its developer conference earlier this week, Samsung announced that the Android Pie software update for its flagships will come with One UI, a redesigned skin that focuses on simplification and ease of use.
The company announced that the first public beta build of its Android Pie update with One UI was going to be available for the Galaxy S9, S9+ and Note9 by the end of this month. If that timeline was too vague for your taste, Samsung's German arm has come to the rescue today.
Through a support chat, a German publication was able to find out exactly when the beta builds will be out - on November 15. This is the date for Germany, but since the beta program will also be available in the US and South Korea, the release time frame might be slightly different for those countries.
This does come straight from Samsung support staff, but those people aren't always the best informed, so don't take the date for granted just yet. Either way, it looks like you'll be able to play with the redesigned One UI very soon indeed - that is, if you're rocking one of the company's flagships from this year.
If you have one from 2017, Samsung is apparently going to bring One UI to the S8, S8+ and Note8 too - though that release might come significantly later than January 2019 when the newest models are due to receive the finalized update.

First Camera Samples by the 48MP Camera of the Honor View 20

Yesterday,  Honor announced  a bunch of new tech that's supposed to make it to its future smartphones and the 48MP camera sensor is one of them it takes advantage of the Quad Bayer tech. The camera uses Sony's IMX586 CMOS sensor with 0.8 micron pixel size. It will surely be part of the upcoming Honor View 20. Thanks to its Quad Bayer method that stacks four adjustment 2x2 pixels into the same colour, photos appear sharper and without much noise even challenging low-light scenarios. To show off its amazing capabilities, Honor published a bucketload of camera samples some of which are in black and white using the full 48MP resolution.

Xiaomi Black Shark Helo, Gaming Phone Goes on Sale Early

Xiaomi's  Black Shark Helo  gaming phone was  announced a week ago  and the release date was supposed to be November 10, but it appears that the handset is arriving a bit early. A lot earlier, in fact. In a Weibo post, Lei Jun, Xiaomi's founder, announced that the official Mi online store will start selling the phone as early as today. The flash sale begins at 8PM local time and as far as we can tell from the post, it's the second one for today. Unfortunately, the 10GB version is still not here to be found and the store is offering the 8GB/128GB and the 6GB/128GB configurations only. The 6GB model will sell for CNY 3,199 ($459) while the asking price of the 8GB alteration is CNY 3,499 ($502). Just make sure you are one of the first in line because stock won't last.
