Samsung Started Taking Pre-Registrations for the Galaxy Note 8 in India

It’s just two weeks since Samsung officially launched the Galaxy Note 8 smartphone in the international market. August 23 is the date when Samsung announced its latest phablet phone. Now, the South Korean company has started taking pre-registrations for the smartphone in India, hinting that the device will be launched in India very soon.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is rumoured to cost Rs. 74,900 in the Indian market, and will be initially launched in two colour options Midnight Black and Maple Gold. The Note 8 is an important smartphone for Samsung because it succeeds the last year’s recalled Galaxy Note 7.
However, the Note 8 is an entirely different smartphone when compared to Note 7 or Note FE. It is more in-line with the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+. It has got a 6.3-inch QHD+ Infinity Display, which is also rated as the best screen in any smartphone by DisplayMate.
The Note 8 shares a lot of similar features with the S8 duo such as the Snapdragon 835/Exynos 8895 chipset, colour options, water resistance, and wireless charging. Additionally, the Note 8 features an advanced S-Pen and dual camera setup at the back. Samsung has joined the dual camera bandwagon with the Note 8. The Note 8 features a massive 6GB of RAM and comes in 64GB/128GB/256GB storage models.
The smartphone comes with two 12MP sensors at the back and both of them are optically stabilised, a first in any smartphone. There are a standard 12MP RGB sensor and another 12MP telephoto lens which can capture 2X zoomed images. Frontal, the Note 8 has the same 8MP selfie camera as seen on the Galaxy S8 and S8+. The entire package is backed by a 3300mAh battery.

The phone is released in several colours such as Midnight Black, Maple Gold, Orchid Grey, Deep Sea Blue, Star Pink (Taiwan only), but rumours say that only the Midnight Black and Maple Gold will be available after the launch. Other colour options will slowly make into the market sooner or later.
Interestingly, Samsung has reduced the price of the 6GB RAM variant of Galaxy S8+ to Rs. 65,900, making it customers to choose between the S8+ and Note 8. Some international reviews of the Note 8 say that it’s better to go for an S8+ if you’re not a fan of the dual camera setup and S-Pen.
Will you purchase a Galaxy Note 8 if it launches at Rs. 74,900? Let us know in the comments below. And you can pre-register for the Galaxy Note 8 by heading over to the Samsung India’s official site.

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...
