Huawei said to be building substitute OS to Android as backup

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Huawei-P20-Pro_fonearena-4-1-1024x696.jpg" /> Recently the US Govt has laid a total of 7-years ban on ZTE and restricted from using any American Technology. This kind of fate could happen to any foreign brand that is operating in the USA. The best way to stay in the light is to have a backup. Executives at Huawei have also thought of the same as the company is said to be building substitute OS to Android as a backup. According to the South China Morning Post's sources, Huawei has been developing its own mobile operating system ever since it and ZTE faced an American investigation in 2012. The company is said to be considering it as an investment for "worst-case scenarios," said the insider sources. Since the OS is not up to the level of Android in terms of quality and app support, the company hasn't released it yet. However, Huawei just said it "has no plans" to launch an in-house OS in the "foreseeable future" which is neither accepting or denying. Even if there is one, there's no rush to use it. For starters, third-party OS is not something that is unheard of, Samsung has its own version; dubbed Tizen OS, Apple has its own OS X/macOS on Intel for years. With Huawei having its ... <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=Uc5BiW9OXvs:nRKTjeNkLOY: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=Uc5BiW9OXvs:nRKTjeNkLOY:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=Uc5BiW9OXvs:nRKTjeNkLOY:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=Uc5BiW9OXvs:nRKTjeNkLOY:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=Uc5BiW9OXvs:nRKTjeNkLOY:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=Uc5BiW9OXvs:nRKTjeNkLOY: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/Uc5BiW9OXvs" width="1" /><br /> <a href="http://www.fonearena.com/blog/251029/huawei-android-substitute-os.html">Read Here»</a>

Google, Facebook and Microsoft are now adopting gun emoji redesign

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/water-pistolsquirt-gun-design-1024x726.jpg" /> Every major vendor has now committed to redesigning the gun emoji and replace it with a water pistol/squirt gun design, reports Emojipedia. Though it took a while for it to happen, it is now happening at all once.  Google started rolling out the new pistol emoji to Android users from last week, now Facebook and Microsoft are also joining the list of others platforms who have already made the switch including iOS, Twitter, Samsung, and WhatsApp. The major change which once showed pistol weapon on all major platforms is now a water pistol. The report also says that these changes are common and aren't limited to one emoji as all the emoji sets have been moving closer to one another and this new water pistol/squirt gun design is one among them. Consistent emoji display across platforms is a must rather than having one platform showing it as a weapon, and others show it as a toy. However, until the roll outs complete, the confusion persists for a small period of time. Apple was the first to adopt the water pistol/squirt gun design back in 2016 with iOS 10 beta and remained until the final release of iOS 10. With compatibility as the major concern, Google has also finally made the change recently. Facebook, however, confirmed that ... <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=UipS3Lg7Z9w:qr-J_so1MKI: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=UipS3Lg7Z9w:qr-J_so1MKI:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=UipS3Lg7Z9w:qr-J_so1MKI:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=UipS3Lg7Z9w:qr-J_so1MKI:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=UipS3Lg7Z9w:qr-J_so1MKI:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=UipS3Lg7Z9w:qr-J_so1MKI: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/UipS3Lg7Z9w" width="1" /><br /> <a href="http://www.fonearena.com/blog/251024/google-facebook-microsoft-emoji-pistol-water-gun.html">Read Here»</a>

ZTE patent hint at dual notch display smartphone design

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ZTE-1-e1525069030661.jpg" /> ZTE Iceberg was unveiled as the world’s first smartphone with a dual-notch design that we have seen earlier this month. The phone is expected to release after 2018 in Asia, Europe, North America. However, today according to the new patent files, we see yet another ZTE phone with dual notch display. According to the recent patent filed with China’s State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO), ZTE might be working on a new smartphone featuring a pair of screen notches much like the ZTE Iceberg. It looks like the company is taking the notch game to the next level and not give up anytime soon. With right kind of odds and design language, it has a possibility of hitting it off. The new patent sketches reveal some notable differences, unlike the ZTE Iceberg with top-cut out for earpiece, and selfie shooter and an empty bottom notch, the new is a lot more reminiscent of the Essential Phone 1. The top part is dedicated to the front camera, while at the bottom rests the home/fingerprint sensor. Design of the patents doesn't actually mean the phone will surely make it. Considering the ZTE's current spat with the US Government and the sanctions already in place, we might see the new devices no early than mid-2019 if at all ... <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=37hI479lK3E:3qi-pOKx6_I: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=37hI479lK3E:3qi-pOKx6_I:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=37hI479lK3E:3qi-pOKx6_I:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=37hI479lK3E:3qi-pOKx6_I:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=37hI479lK3E:3qi-pOKx6_I:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=37hI479lK3E:3qi-pOKx6_I: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/~4/37hI479lK3E" width="1" /><br /> <a href="http://www.fonearena.com/blog/251012/zte-dual-notch-display-smartphone-patent.html">Read Here»</a>
