NEW ANDROID VERSION(ANDROID 9 PIE) AVAILABLE FOR INFINIX SMART 2 PRO

-


Infinix Mobility is one of the most popular smartphone brands not only in Kenya but in Africa at large. Like any other Android vendor, the Chinese company is also in a rush to roll out the new Android 9 Pie update to its devices before Android Q arrives in a few weeks’ time.

To that effect, a new update is rolling out to the Infinix Smart 2 Pro that installs the latest Android 9 Pie to the device. The Pie update, as seen in the screengrab below, tags along a new XOS 4.5.0 custom skin, up from XOS 3.0.0 that debuted with the Smart 2 Pro back in 2018.

It’s worth noting that the Smart 2 Pro update in question here was spotted in India, where this same phone is sold as Infinix Smart 2 (without the Pro moniker), so, technically, the update should begin rolling out to the Kenyan variant pretty soon, if it hasn’t arrived yet.

If you own the superior Infinix Note 5 or Note 5 Stylus here in Kenya, there is also an update to Pie for you, but unlike the Smart 2 Pro that is reportedly receiving a stable build, the version available for the Note 5 duo is in beta.

The company opened the beta registration program in mid-January 2019 and is still open, so feel free to join by filling this form and thereafter you should get the go-ahead to download Pie on your Note 5. Below is how the form looks like.


Infinix Note 5 and Note 5 Stylus Pie update
The update is targeting models X604 and X605 and comes with December 2018 security patches, as seen in the screenshot above.

Infinix Note 5 Android Pie update
Infinix is also expected to update the entire list of its 2018 devices that had Oreo preinstalled to the latest Android 9 Pie as well as the flagship Infinix Zero 6 that sneaked into its lineup quite recently, although we cannot guarantee everything we say for now.


With Pie, you are getting things like adaptive brightness, adaptive battery, app actions, and app slices, among others, but thanks to XOS, there will be some other customizations on top of stock Android.

APPLE TO REDUCE IPHONE PRICES

Apple’s iPhone revenue has plunged in the December quarter, and the company is ready to make some changes. According to CEO Tim Cook, Apple will reduce prices of the iPhone in markets where local currencies have weakened against the dollar. As we’ve gotten into January and assessed the macroeconomic condition in some of those markets, we’ve decided to go back to more commensurate with what our local prices were a year ago in hopes of helping the sales in those areas,” Cook told Reuters (via The Next Web). “If you’ve never bought an iPhone outside of the U.S., you may not be aware of just how staggering the price difference is. I’ve been pointing it out over and over and over — it’s hard to justify spending $1,760 for a maxed-out iPhone XS (UK pricing at launch) when the exact same model costs $1,349 in the U.S. And it’s even harder in a country like Hungary, where the price is even higher and the average customer’s purchasing power is far lower than in the U.S. Subscr...

A new photography app for iOS called “Fuzion” that would use the “TrueDepth” camera data from new iPhones and create images by blending multiple images with portrait mode shots is expected to reach iOS users this week. “‘Fuzion’ is a photo editor that lets you take your portraits and selfies to the next level. Blend multiple images and create stunning double exposures with ease,” the “Fuzion” team wrote in a post on Monday.  The feature would work on the new iPhones -- iPhone 8 Plus, X, XR, and XS.  The app comes with features to capture portrait photos with automatic silhouette detection, choices from a variety of backgrounds by top photographers to blend with the portrait and options to add dust overlays, light leaks and colour filters. “The app utilises the powerful “TrueDepth” and dual cameras of new iPhones to automatically detect a person’s silhouette and cut them out of the background,” the post added. The editing app was released to a group of beta teste...
