Xiaomi said to be exploring options to acquire GoPro

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/GoPro-HERO5-Black_fonearena-01-1024x704.jpg" /> GoPro has been seeing a significant downfall in its market this year, a total of 36% shares were down in 2018 cutting its market capitalization to roughly $700 million. The company even announced that it will exit drone industry. The only ray of hope for GoPro is get acquired by a company so that it can see any lift in the price. Chief Executive Officer Nick Woodman has said he is open to a deal and earlier this year the company hired investment bank JPMorgan Chase & Co. to advise it on a potential sale. A company that was once worth more than $10 billion has now fallen to about $761 million. A potential buy out could leverage GoPro’s brand and gain profit. If done right, GoPro could fetch  $1 billion according to The Information based on the price that Hewlett Packard paid for Palm, also a struggling electronics maker, in 2010. It is also reported that Xiaomi is looking for options to acquire GoPro, but doesn't want to overpay. Once the report came out, GoPro jumped as much as 8.8%. Either way, for now, nothing is official, so there's no way to tell if Xiaomi would go through the acquisition.

Get Android 8.1 Oreo on Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 with Pixel Experience ROM

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Redmi-Note-3-Review-10.jpg" /> The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 was amongst best selling devices launched in 2016, Xiaomi launched it running on Android Lollipop despite launching in March 2016 and later in December 2016 rolled out Android Marshmallow update. Redmi Note 3 runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 Mobile Platform and devices like Sony Xperia X with the same processor received Android Oreo, even Xiaomi’s own Mi Max (SD650 variant) runs on Android Nougat but Redmi Note 3 didn’t get same treatment as Mi Max despite having similar hardware but users can still enjoy the latest android on their Redmi Note 3, thanks to the awesome custom ROM developer community. We tried Pixel Experience ROM based on Android Oreo 8.1 on our unit and here are our impressions, Performance and Benchmarks: Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 is two-year-old chipset now but it is still capable of delivering a solid day to day performance, we obtained Antutu score of approx 95000 on Pixel Experience ROM as compared to 67719 on the stock MIUI Global ROM. We didn’t not test the performance with games but the phone didn’t have any problem in handling multitasking and we got a smooth and reliable day to day performance.

OnePlus 6 case renders gives full view of the smartphone

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/OnePlus-6-case-render.jpg" /> OnePlus 6 announcement is just a few weeks away, and case markers have already put up cases for the smartphone on sale online. Olixar, popular for its cases and screen-protectors has started selling its ArmourDillo case, ExoShield tough case, FlexiShield Gel case, Sentinel Case, Leather-Style Case and Glass Screen Protector for the OnePlus 6 priced between $7.4 and $35.49. This coincides with earlier image that showed vertical dual rear camera arrangement along with a flash below that and a fingerprint sensor. It doesn't show bezel below the screen, which might not be the case in real life since renders usually hide the bezels. It also shows alert slider on the right side along with a power button and volume rockers on the left. Since the phone is enclosed in a case, it doesn't show if the back has glass finish. We already know that the OnePlus 6 will have a notch with an option to hide it, 6.28-inch FHD+ screen with 90% screen-to-body ratio, 3.5mm audio jack, Snapdragon 845 SoC, 8GB RAM, up to 256GB storage and Android 8.1 (Oreo) with Oxygen OS 5.1.0 on top. The OnePlus 6 is expected to go official sometime later this month or early next month.
