Xiaomi Blackshark SKR-A0 gaming phone with Snapdragon 845, 8GB RAM surfaces again in benchmarks

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Xiaomi-Black-Shark-1024x597.jpg" /> A new smartphone code-named Blackshark surfaced on AnTuTu, now the phone has surfaced on Geekbench listing revealing the code-name of the phone as  SKR-A0. This is believed to be Xiaomi's first gaming smartphone under the new  Black shark brand, in which Xiaomi started investing last year. The Geekbench listing once again reveals Snapdragon 845 SoC, 8GB of RAM and Android 8.0 Oreo. Earlier AnTuTu listing revealed 160 x 1080 FHD+ 18:9 display for the phone. Benchmark scores of 2452 for the single-core and 8452 for multi-core is on par with other Snapdragon 845-powered smartphones. The scores are slightly higher than the Xiaomi Dipper that surfaced on Geekbench recently with the same SoC, but with 6GB RAM. It is believed to be Mi 7. The phone might come with a 120 Hz display to compete with the Razer Phone. Since it has been revealed in two benchmark listings, the announcement might be near. We will have to wait to find out more details about the phone.

Facebook Express Wi-Fi app for locally operated hotspots released

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Facebook_Express_Wi-Fi-e1521195827495.jpg" /> Facebook has released the Express Wi-Fi app for locally operated hotspots for Android. The app lets users buy data packs and find nearby hotspots as part of Facebook’s distributed Wi-Fi network. Facebook's Express Wi-Fi program is live in five developing countries where users can buy and access high-speed data connectivity via local telecoms. Prior to the launch of Facebook's Express Wi-Fi, users had to go through the process on a mobile website, or directly download an app from a telecom requiring you to set up phone’s settings. Also, there wasn't any way to see where the hotspots were exactly present. The new Express Wi-Fi is available for Android and is live in Indonesia with bandwidth from telecom partner D-Net, and in Kenya through Surf. The app will tell if the Wi-Fi is turned on or not and it also lets you file reports to Facebook about connectivity or retailer issues. Express Wi-Fi offers an unrestricted version of the web for a price and bandwidth services approved by Facebook. This really gives Facebook a chance to bring people without internet connectivity to online without having to worry about net neutrality. You can download the Facebook Express Wi-Fi app directly from Play Store. Facebook in a statement has said: Facebook is releasing the Express Wi-Fi ... <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=aGfKr1jWUaQ:W4rGIYABNnU:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=aGfKr1jWUaQ:W4rGIYABNnU:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=aGfKr1jWUaQ:W4rGIYABNnU:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=aGfKr1jWUaQ:W4rGIYABNnU:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=aGfKr1jWUaQ:W4rGIYABNnU:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=aGfKr1jWUaQ:W4rGIYABNnU:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" /></a></div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fone-arena/~4/aGfKr1jWUaQ" width="1" /><br /> <a href="http://www.fonearena.com/blog/246696/facebook-express-wi-fi-app.html">Read Here»</a>

Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ get first update in India as global roll out of the smartphones begin

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Samsung-Galaxy-S9-Plus_fonearena-09-1024x737.jpg" /> Samsung launched the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ smartphones in India last week. Now both the smartphones have received a new update that brings March 2018 Android security patch. It also brings improved stability to Face Unlock and camera for the Galaxy S9+ along with usual set of stability improvements and bug fixes for the phone. For me, the fingerprint sensor issue that doesn't respond after sometime has been fixed with this update. Samsung has also started rolling out the smartphone globally in about 70 countries, including Korea, the U.S., Canada, China and all of Europe, and the company said that it will roll out to over 110 markets by the end of the month. The update has build number G960FXXU1ARC5 for the S9 and G965FXXU1ARC5 for the S9+ and is about 243MB in size. Users who get these smartphones today should get the update once they boot. <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=0XvTsYUVC70:LrPQD_9T-R4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=0XvTsYUVC70:LrPQD_9T-R4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=0XvTsYUVC70:LrPQD_9T-R4:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=0XvTsYUVC70:LrPQD_9T-R4:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=0XvTsYUVC70:LrPQD_9T-R4:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=0XvTsYUVC70:LrPQD_9T-R4:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" /></a></div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fone-arena/~4/0XvTsYUVC70" width="1" /><br /> <a href="http://www.fonearena.com/blog/246667/samsung-galaxy-s9-galaxy-s9-plus-update-india-global-roll-out.html">Read Here»</a>
