Samsung Galaxy C8 with dual rear cameras launched in China


Samsung has announced its latest smartphone in China, dubbed as the Galaxy C8. The Galaxy C8 appeared on the company’s Chinese website ahead of its launch and it revealed its specs. The latest phone is said to be the Chinese version of the Galaxy J7+.
It packs the same specs as Galaxy J7+ which officially launched in Thailand earlier this week. Similar to J7+, the Galaxy C8 has its dual camera setup at the back with Live focus and the dual app support feature as its highlights.
This is another phone from Samsung with a dual rear camera setup and Live Focus after the Galaxy Note 8. The phone comes in Gold, Black, and Pink color options. It will go sale in China very soon. However, there is no information about its pricing.

Samsung Galaxy C8 Specifications

The new Galaxy C8 features a full metal body and a fingerprint scanner underneath the home button. Coming to the specifications, it features a 5.5 inch full HD Super AMOLED 2.5D curved glass display. The dual SIM phone runs on Android 7.1.1 Nougat.
The Galaxy C8 is powered by a 2.39GHz Octa-Core MediaTek Helio P20 processor coupled with Mali T880 GPU. Memory wise, it comes in two variants 3GB RAM with 32GB storage and 4GB RAM with 64GB storage. Internal storage is expandable up to 256GB with microSD.
If we talk about the highlighted camera department, it has a 13MP primary rear camera with f/1.7 aperture and along with a 5MP secondary camera with a f/1.9 aperture to capture depth information. There is an LED flash as well and a new live focus feature similar to the Galaxy Note 8, which allows you to blur the background in real-time. There is a 16MP front camera with LED and screen flash and f/1.9 aperture for better selfies in low light.
The phone houses a 3,000mAh battery. Connectivity options include 4G VoLTE, Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, and more. Another highlight of the new Galaxy C8 is its Bixby Home app.
The latest phone from Samsung might be only China exclusive. However, it has also launched the phone in Thailand as Galaxy J7+, so any of the models could make it to India also. Meanwhile, Samsung is all set to launch its flagship the Galaxy Note 8 in India on September 12.

Google removes 300 Android apps that secretly hijacked phones for DDoS attacks

Around  300 apps have been withdrawn  from Google’s Play Store after they were found to be secretly hijacking Android devices to supply traffic for wide-scale distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, as noted by  Gizmodo . Google removed apps that offered services like ringtones and storage managers after security researchers uncovered the “WireX” botnet was behind the ploy. Malware was hidden inside the affected apps, and as long as the device remained switched on it was used in DDoS attacks. Researchers at cloud services provider Akamai discovered WireX after a hospitality company suffered from a DDoS attack involving hundreds of thousands of IP addresses. DDoS attacks work by overwhelming a target with large amounts of data from multiple IP addresses, and they’re effective at taking down websites and services that can’t cope with a data influx. Google said in a statement it’s currently in the process of removing the malicious apps from affected devices, an...

HTC Desire 20 Pro certified by Google Play, NCC

HTC’s glory days are well in the past, but the Taiwanese company is trying to stay relevant in the smartphone world. As spotted by a vigilant Twitter user, the Desire 20 Pro has been certified at NCC and Google Play Support. Previously the same phone appeared on Geekbench and in leaked schematics . The Google Play Support page mentions the same HTC 2Q9J1000 model number we saw earlier. Seeing how this is a Pro there is likely to be a vanilla version in the pipeline as well, but we haven't heard anything about it. HTC Desire 20 Pro certifications When the phones eventually arrive, they will be a follow-up of the Desire 19 lineup that brought us the Desire 19s and Desire 19+ . Both of them had unimpressive Helio chipsets (respectively P22 and P35) and the main camera was 13 MP f/1.9 with PDAF on both of them. Hopefully, this year’s Desire lineup will get in line with the current trends and introduce big batteries, fast charging, and better cameras if HTC w...

Entry-level Nokia 2V Tella appears on Geekbench

Nokia launched the 2V smartphone in the summer of 2019 as a rebranded Nokia 2.1 for Verizon. It ran Android Pie (Go Edition) on its limited 1GB RAM. Now the phone might get a successor as a phone called Nokia 2V Tella has been spotted on Geekbench. Nokia 2V Tella on Geekbench The device by HMD Global is running Android 10 OS and has an MT6761 chipset, which is better known as Helio A22 by Mediatek. We are also looking at 2GB RAM, which might allow it to boot the fully-fledged Android OS, instead of having the basic Go version for lower-performing phones. The Nokia 2V Tella doesn’t surprise us with its scores on Geekbench 4.0 at all - 829 for a single core and 2,422 for multiple cores is close to what we reached 1.5 years ago when the Redmi 6A , powered by the same chip, was in our hands.
