Google Pixel 3 Latest Leaks on Release Date and Features

The most awaited smartphone of the year: Google Pixel 3.

Public expects significant improvements that exceed the previous models.

Last Months leaks for Googe Pixel 3

A lot of rumors about this device had spread during June, but neither are confirmed to be actual information, stories that increased the public’s excitement.

Seven of these rumors are:

  1. Becoming a third “mid-range” model

According to Forbes’ report, a third model of Pixel 3 being developed shook the news. If your wallets are not ready, Google is said to come up with a more affordable model along with the XL and main model. The chipset will be a Snapdragon 710 one, so it will be the strongest of most mid-range phones.

  1. The notch is deep

Buyers will benefit from a deeper groove according to leaked Pixel 3 prototypes so that it will have a smaller bezel => bigger battery.

  1. Missing headphone jack

The Verge reports that the leaked pictures do not show a headphone jack which might be substituted for wireless ones.

  1. Back to Active Edge

Active Edge is one of the best features of the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL which enables users to activate Google Assistant by squeezing their phone (statement by Forbes.)

  1. Better design

Pixel 3 will be designed to feature a notch, stereo speakers, and a chin while reincorporating a glass back. A dual camera is expected but might come with future smartphones.

  1. Wireless charging

Those who miss Google’s wireless charging will probably have them again thanks to Pixel 3’s glass back.

  1. Possible release date

Because of recent development debut, the Pixel 3 is not expected to be released this October but maybe in the second quarter of 2019, so stay tuned for more!

All the Compatible Tweaks and Apps for iOS 11.3.1 Electra Jailbreak

The new iOS 11.3.1 Electra jailbreak has recently been made available for iPhone and iPad owners and today we are going to cover all the compatible tweaks that people can use to enhance their iOS experience. There are many reasons to why someone might want to jailbreak their iOS device, but getting access to special Cydia tweaks and apps is the most important one of them.

iOS 11.3.1 Electra Need More Time

Before we get into it, we need to disclaim the fact that the latest iOS 11.3.1 Electra jailbreak is still new and that it needs more time before it can run all tweaks and apps successfully. Therefore, some fan-favorite jailbreak tweaks will not work and we advise jailbreak fans to wait a little bit longer if any issues pop up so that the developers have enough time to optimize their software.

Compatible Tweaks and Apps

  • YouTube Tools;
  • Filza File Manager;
  • Luminous;
  • BrightVol;
  • Alkaline;
  • Zeppelin;
  • CollorBanners 2;
  • PreferenceLoader;
  • StatusSwitcher;
  • NoTrending;
  • Activator;
  • Rocket Boostrap;
  • BatteryLife;
  • Anemone;
  • MapsOpener;
  • Cephei;
  • LinkOpener;
  • Cylinder;
  • SoundTasker;
  • 9Folderz;
  • ColorMyCCModules;
  • Libcolorpicker;
  • Codling;

Successfully Tested

All the apps and tweaks listed above have been tested on iOS 11.2 and iOS 11.3.1 with Electra jailbreak. This means that they all work function without any issues and that jailbreak fans will be able to benefit from all the features they have to bring.

On the downside of things, there are hundreds of tweaks and apps that still need to be optimized before they can run on iOS 11.3.1 Electra jailbreak. However, we can be sure that all other tweaks and apps are going to be made functional during the upcoming future. We should also mention that Apple is not currently signing iOS 11.3.1 and this implies some iPhone and iPad owner will be sent straight to iOS 11.4 if they chose to restore their device.

2018’s budget iPhone: iPhone 9 vs. iPhone SE2

iPhone SE2 is eagerly awaited by tech lovers on a budget and can even overcome the actual iPhone SE. They have been waiting since the release of its predecessor in March 2016. It is still up in the air however it will be named.

iPhone SE 2 features that are downgraded

A confirmation that the iPhone SE2 will be getting only a single rear camera was stated by a trusted leaks deliverer and case maker, Ghostek. Unfortunately, Forbes says it is a downgrade considering iPhone X’s dual cam, but it still excites buyers looking for a cheaper iPhone, whatever its drawback. The price is said to start from 400$.

It is also reported that the OLED screen will not be a feature of iPhone 9.  Furthermore, there will be no 3D touch functionality but an LCD screen. As a compensation, free wire charging is introduced.

Express says that the current iPhone design is supposed to remain the same opposing iPhone X’s bezel-less structure and the possible integration of Face ID is not in the plan.

A view of the soon to be released iPhone SE2

Mr. Miller said: “Apple committed WWDC that the last five generation of devices will support iOS 12 and a new iPhone SE would support that as well. However, there are going to be compromises around screen size, camera performance and memory configuration (note the current SE only supports 32GB and 128GB versus the 64GB and 256 GB on the iPhone X).”

The iPhone SE 2 release is uncertain

The unknown date of SE 2’s publication is a drawback but earlier this year, announcing it in the Worldwide Developers Conference 2018 was expected of Apple. Different opinions about the release date are stated by multiple sources.

DJI Mavic Pro 2 Features, Rumors and Launch Date

People are searching the web about new rumors, leaks, and gossip about an awaited drone, DJI Mavic Pro 2.

Drone’s Price

The DJI Mavic Pro 2’s price will depend on the model. The basic one with maximum speed, a promised larger sensor, and a revamped design plus many more feature is going to cost $1200. However, buyers who want the high-end model will get $300 more out of their pockets for a drone that will be able to handle higher frame rates and 10-bit color thanks to its bigger 20-megapixel sensor along with a faster image processor.

Launch Date

The launch of DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone is undoubtedly near because of the price drop of the current Mavic Pro. The device was tested, and it is ready to be released along with its eagerly awaited specifications, but they are just keeping us a little more tense.

Features and Specifications

OsistaLV’s recent tweet reports leaked details of the two versions of Mavic Pro 2. The high-end model will offer its buyer a bigger 1-inch sensor along a with the basic model that has a Sony IMX226 CMOS 1/1.7 sensor. Autel is supposedly working on a rival to the Mavic Pro 2 according to the same tweet. It will be inferior anyway because of its different sized sensor.

„An anonymous guy told me that the MPII will come with two versions, one is 1″ another is 1/1.7″. If so, Autel will embrace its doomsday.” – OsistaLV on tweeter

DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone has another key feature, the addition of Six Sided Obstacle Avoidance. The Mavic Air already has a strong sensor system, but the Mavic Pro 2 will reportedly include cameras on the front, bottom, and rear too, being robust and more reliable.
