OPPO joins Android Q Beta program and more

​This week OPPO participated in Google I/O 2019, Google’s annual developer conference, where the leading smartphone company showcased its strong capabilities in both Android development and 5G technology. During the event, held from May 7-9 at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California, Google announced that OPPO would be joining its Android Q Beta program as one of the OEMs to introduce testing of the next version of Android.

The forthcoming version of Android, Android Q, became available as Beta earlier this year. As an early adopter of the operating system, OPPO featured its newest smartphone ‘Reno’ in an Android Q Beta demo at I/O, offering software developers in attendance the opportunity to experience and test the device. During the conference, Google also announced that Android Q Beta would be available on OPPO Reno smartphones starting from May 8th.

Andy Wu, Vice President of OPPO, President of OPPO Software Engineering, said: “OPPO places great emphasis on perfecting users’ experiences through the integration of hardware and software. We are glad to have Google as an integral and long-standing member of our ecosystem of partners as we deliver extraordinary experiences through innovative OPPO technology.”

Reno’s inclusion among the first batch of smartphones to offer Android Q Beta for testing underscores OPPO’s strong capability in software R&D and its ability to take the lead in responding to the latest technology developments. OPPO will continue to update its Android-based ColorOS system with the latest versions of Android to provide the best possible experiences for users.

As one of the world’s first smartphone manufacturers to bring 5G to market, OPPO also showcased its leadership in 5G technologies at the Android Sandbox area at Google I/O. At the Sandbox, attendees were able to demo the new Reno 5G phone and view a video feature on OPPO’s vision for the 5G era.

“We call the 5G era ‘an era of intelligent connectivity’. Based on the advantages of 5G connectivity, OPPO has pushed forward into cloud storage, cloud gaming, cloud image & video processing and other services. We will provide smarter and more convenient services to our users,” said Henry Tang, Director of Standards Research Center, OPPO Research Institute.

Officially hitting the market in Switzerland on May 1st, OPPO’s Reno 5G was the first commercial 5G smartphone to go on sale in Europe. Reno 5G is now available at Swisscom shops across the country and on Swisscom’s official website. OPPO will roll out Reno 5G to additional markets worldwide over the coming months.

Welcome to the Huawei P Smart Z 2019 with a popup camera

​Hauwei today announced the launch of the HUAWEI P Smart Z 2019, a new bezel-less phone featuring a pop-up camera and Full HD display.

The HUAWEI P Smart Z 2019 was designed with students and young professionals in mind, delivering a combination of advanced technology and revolutionary design, in a great value package. Equipped with the efficient Kirin 710F chipset and intelligent EMUI 9 operating system, the HUAWEI P Smart Z 2019 brings features that range from the exhilarating to the functional, including AI-supported photography, a long battery life, high-end graphics, and a noteworthy design.

An Eye-Opening 6.59-inch FullView Display

Whilst many smartphones on the market today claim to feature a “bezel-less display”, they actually incorporate perforated or notched screens, undermining the principle of a seamless surface. The HUAWEI P Smart Z 2019 has taken a bold leap forward with design innovation, introducing a screen entirely free of holes, notches, or sliders, for an authentic full screen effect.

By relocating the front camera, earpiece, and ambient light sensor, the HUAWEI P Smart Z 2019 achieves a sleek 19.5:9 screen aspect ratio, which accounts for a staggering 91% of the smartphone’s body (AA/TP, Huawei lab data), making it perfect for streaming videos or gaming.

With a 2340 x 1080 Full HD display and a jam-packed pixel density of 391 PPI, the HUAWEI P Smart Z 2019 screen appears to work like a magnifying glass, conveying detail on a minute scale. The wide colour gamut of 85% results in a rich and vibrant visual experience, providing the magnified display with bold textures and vivid features.

What’s more, the HUAWEI P Smart Z 2019 is equipped with an advanced eye comfort mode, filtering out harmful blue light to prevent eye strain and fatigue. This function has passed rigorous tests for photo-biological safety and is certified by TÜV Rheinland.

Innovative Pop-Up Camera Lens

The higher screen-to-body ratio on the HUAWEIP Smart Z 2019 comes courtesy of an innovative 16MP pop-up camera. During normal use, the camera is hidden within the phone body. When the front camera is activated, for instance when taking selfies, it automatically emerges and hovers over the screen. This futuristic design elegantly solves the issue of front camera placement, resulting in the expansion of the screen’s range of view in the process.

The pop-up lens is propelled by a motor and lifting device that were developed from scratch. It takes only a second for the camera to emerge or retract, making it extremely functional and easy to use.

Huawei has implemented strict and thorough reliability testing, to ensure that the front lens will continue to function smoothly, even after years of heavy use. The pop-up lens can withstand the strain of 100,000 repetitions without being damaged, and the front side can bear the direct force of a 12kg object. The smartphone is also endowed with an intelligent drop protection function, which automatically detects when it is in free fall and retracts the lens to the maximum extent possible to mitigate the effect of the drop.

AI-Enhanced Photography

The HUAWEI P Smart Z 2019 AI-enhanced front camera can automatically identify eight common photography scenes, including blue skies, greenery, indoor settings and snowy landscapes. The 1.0µm pixels and F/2.2 aperture flawlessly adjust the lighting and background in portrait shots, for a natural looking effect.

The front camera also features enhanced AI backlight imagery technology, an AI natural facial beautification algorithm, and 3D portrait lighting effects, which can be calibrated according to the setting and user characteristics, providing the subtlety of professional studio lighting.

The HUAWEI P Smart Z 2019 is equipped with a 16MP + 2MP double rear camera system. The 16MP main camera utilises a 6P (six-lens plastic array) design, so users can capture crystal-clear images with outstanding levels of detail and powerful light intake, for improved resolution and contrasts. The F/1.8 aperture on the 16MP camera takes in 50 percent more light than the F/2.2 aperture more commonly seen, with low noise and fast focusing.

What’s more, the 8MP sensor can take 120° wide-angle shots, transforming vast landscapes or cluttered skylines into breathtaking images. The 2MP sensor coordinates with the primary camera to generate a lifelike depth of field in the photo, enabling SLR-quality images, whilst tools such as Night Mode and 480 FPS super slow-motion videos, bring a range of professional photography features to this affordable device.

Powerful, Efficient and Dependable

The HUAWEI P Smart Z 2019 is equipped with the 12nm process Kirin 710F chipset, with eight-core architecture, for high performance and maximum power efficiency. Compared with the previous-generation chipset, single-thread CPU performance is 75% higher, multi-thread performance is 68% higher and GPU energy efficiency is doubled. As a result, the smartphone’s overall performance is 30 percent higher, while energy consumption is actually 30 percent lower.

The 4,000 mAh large-capacity battery, often found in flagship devices, works seamlessly with the Kirin 710F chipset to provide optimal power efficiency, worthy of a smartphone with diverse, and power-intensive features. Plus, the EMUI 9 operating system features cutting-edge F2FS 2.0 and EROFS technologies which increase available space, to keep the device running for an extended period of time without the slightest lag.

Availability

The HUAWEI P Smart Z 2019 will be available to buy in the UK from June in Green and Black from retailers including Amazon and Argos. The P Smart Z will be available exclusively at Argos in Emerald Green and Midnight Black for £249.

Huawei Opens Applications for Android Q Beta Testers for Mate 20 Pro

During Google I/O 2019, Huawei Consumer Business Group (BG) announced a global Android Q Developer Recruitment drive for beta testers, running now through June 30. Developers are invited to try out the latest Android test build on HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro and contribute to optimising and improving device compatibility of Android Q.

Interested developers may submit their applications on Huawei’s Friendly User Test (FUT) app with a HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro device. Once registered, developers may download the beta software via Huawei OTA, and are encouraged to submit feedback to Huawei throughout the test period.

Announced May 7 at Google I/O 2019, Android Q is the tenth major version of the popular smartphone platform. Designed with stronger protection for user privacy, the latest Android version introduces new security mechanisms and offers more granular controls over how data is shared between the operating system and apps.

Android Q imposes new restrictions on file access to prevent cross-app data collection. In addition, apps now require special permission to gainaccess to non-resettable device identifiers. Android Q-based devices also transmit randomised MAC addresses by default. Most apps that are not in focus also lose access to users’ clipboards on Android Q, eliminating another avenue for potential leakage of sensitive data.

The update adds features that accommodate user demands for new entertainment experiences and novel use cases enabled by new device form factors such as foldables. It also natively supports a 5G framework in anticipation of the upcoming 5G-enabled smart devices slated to arrive later this year.

During the presentation, the HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro was listed as one of the initial devices to support the Android Q Beta. Following the beta testing period, the full HUAWEI Mate 20 Series will also be among the first to receive the new Android version once it is released.

In recent years, Huawei has been working closely with Google to improve the Android platform, sharing its experience in security and performance optimisation from developing EMUI with Google for the benefit of all players in the industry. The feedback Huawei receives from developers participating in the Android Q beta test will also be relayed to Google to accelerate the development of the software.

Huawei P30 and P30 Pro’s Dual-View Camera Mode Now Available Overseas

With the recent introduction of EMUI 9.1 and its B153 version being rolled out gradually in overseas markets from today, Huawei has given HUAWEI P30 and P30 Pro users access to one of the most exciting and innovative features offered in the smartphone camera space: dual-view camera mode.

With this capability, users can create split-screen videos by simultaneously using the phone’s primary camera and zoom lens, showing two perspectives at once on the screen. Pioneering this advanced camera technology, Huawei’s continued innovation and focus opens the doors for users to further experience the creative possibilities within videography.

Dual-view camera mode, available on both HUAWEI P30 and P30 Pro devices, is highly capable of producing exceptional videography on its own, or in tandem with other video features like AI editor. Because of the dual perspectives, the HUAWEI P30 series delivers the industry’s first and a totally new function available on smartphones today, allowing users to capture large scale events or the full view of a scene in a unique and refreshing fashion.

Huawei is bringing professional-grade photography and videography functions to its users through the award-winning HUAWEI P30 Series camera. Top features of the dual-view mode in the P30 and P30 Pro include:
• Capturing a wide view with more of the background and surrounding objects
• Simultaneously zooming in on desired subjects via the split screen
• Shooting two different angles, panoramic and close up, at the same time
• Ability to adjust the magnification level
• Taking artsy and creative shots for a vivid recollection of special moments

Huawei is a leader in bringing technologically-advanced camera capabilities to market, and continues to grow its user base overseas with the launch of the HUAWEI P30 Series, which has embedded next-level technology. Along with dual-view mode enabled through the EMUI 9.1 update, the HUAWEI P30 Pro features SuperZoom Lens supporting 5x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom and 50x digital zoom, and SuperSpectrum Sensor delivering 40 percent more light input for stellar low light photography with a high ISO of 409,600.

Review: Snooker 19

Snooker is one of those sports that is loved by dedicated fans but overlooked in favour of the more pub friendly Pool table by most people. In fact, over the years, whenever I have had to explain the difference between Call of Duty and Battlefield series, I always say that Battlefield is the Snooker to CoD’s Pool. It is a sport I used to play with my dad and into my early 20s and I still have my official John Parrot Snooker Cue in a case somewhere…gathering dust! But over the years I have really enjoyed playing the video game version of Snooker which for me began back in my Amiga days with the exceptional Jimmy White’s Whirlwind Snooker and it became my benchmark for snooker simulator games from that moment. Now it is also hard to believe that it has been almost ten years since an officially licensed Snooker game was released, especially on console but now we have Snooker 19. Only question is can it hit a 147 or accidentally pots the white instead?

I was fortunate enough to discover this game during my time at EGX Rezzed back in early April in the ID@Xbox area, it was tucked away in the corner amongst some of the best indie games coming out this year, and it was interesting to see who was gravitating around its demo stand, mostly dads really. I patiently waited my turn and right away I was taken back by how visually stunning this game looks from the ball physics and animation to just the recreation of tournament quality table and players, it really could be easily mistaken for a televised match at times. The presentation and attention to detail really is quite remarkable and I certainly tip my hat to Ripstone and Lab42.

Snooker 19 has a good deal of modes for players to enjoy from the standard Exhibition matches and online Multiplayer that you would expect, but what did come as a nice surprise and something real die-hard fans of the sport will appreciate, is that it actually has two types of Career Mode. The first is the 2019/20 season where you can select anyone of the 128 already Pro players which is pretty much making this the FIFA of Snooker games already with that size of a roster. The second is a really nice touch in my opinion, and that is the option to instead, pick one of the many rising stars of the Snooker professional world and attempt to take them to the big leagues.

The only real downside to both Career Modes is that there is currently no option to create your own snooker player, which would have been so much fun to create your own and guide them through the rising star mode and then into the pro player mode. To be fair to this lack of option in the game, the roster of players you can play as is pretty huge, but it still is a shame not to have a create a player option.

When I played the short demo at EGX Rezzed, the one concern I had was the gameplay via controller. Snooker 19 does a solid job of making what would normally be extremely straight forward with a mouse and keyboard system, into something very user friendly for controller although it will take some time to get used to. There is a real effort to make playing Snooker 19 feel as much like actual televised Snooker as possible, which means the top down view of a TV broadcast is the default view as you work to set up the initial shot. It is only when you move into the second stage taking the shot, does the game move your view to behind the ball, something Snooker games of yester year would do from the off. It features a good few aim assist options for players of all skill types so lining up a shot and knowing there the cue ball is likely to go is a great help as is the ability to add spin to a shot and how much power to use. It does take some time to adjust too, which is where a practice mode would really come in handy but sadly this is not included in the game.

Where the game falls down a little for me comes in the form of the opponent player’s AI, which the developers have been pretty vocal about putting across that each player in the game is a true representation of their real-life counterparts in terms of their playing style and skill. This can translate in the game as a very sudden god like performance by your opponent, even on easy difficulty which can have you the player just sitting and watching as the AI player knocks out amazing high break scores or pulling off insanely accurate ‘snookers’. For me this was rather humiliating as I would often watch a frame play out as if I was actually just a bystander watching the match on telly. This led to some very non fun, painfully slow and embarrassing matches which would sadly, cause me to have to quit the match in order to try again and hope the gaming gods took some mercy on me. This did not happen all the time and was very much dependant on which player I was facing but even after many years of suffering the overpowered nonsense of super star FIFA rated teams online, it just felt more personal experiencing it in a nice game of Snooker.

Snooker 19 is very much a simulation of the sport with very little arcade feel to it, this really makes this a great game for the devoted Snooker fan and less of a must play for any casual fans out there. It recreates the television experience as much as a video game can but the animation and look of some of the roster of professional players can be less than realistic, sometimes to comedic results. The game would have benefited from a dedicated practice room and it would have been more immersive if you could create your own snooker player to challenge the real players on the impressively large roster.

But I admire what it tries to do and having the official licensed tournaments and players gives it real authenticity, helped by the fact there is no other Snooker game to rival it, this will deliver the Snooker gaming experience you would want if you are a dedicated fan of the sport.

Review: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy

Capcom’s Ace Attorney franchise might not be as popular as other Capcom franchises, but it’s been around since 2001 when the first game saw a Japan only release on the Game Boy Advance. The original trilogy has been released on the Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Wii and mobile devices in the West. Now Capcom has decided to release it yet again on the current generation of consoles and PC as the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy.

Review: Justice League Vs The Fatal Five

DC animation is on fire right now with so many amazing projects release for fans to absorb with many diverse stories being told with the return of the Young Justice to the Disney + streaming service as well as the recent Justice League Dark, Death of Superman and Reign of the Supermen releases showing how varied the range of the animation and storytelling can be. Up next is ‘Justice League Vs The Fatal Five’ and it promises to offer a fun nostalgia trip as we return to the universe of the Justice League animated series as past and futures collide to threaten the world and beyond.

Now I was set to fall in to a nostalgia feast with this fil, and fully expecting to experience the same story telling style of the Justice League series but the opening changed all my expectations as it sets a tone I was definitely not expecting. The opening introduces us to a new character in Jessica Cruz and the audience see the tragic back story for her of experiencing the trauma of seeing her friends executed right beside her with only a lucky escape preventing her own death. This event has impacted her life ever since and we meet a character who is damaged and broken by these events leaving Jessica suffering from extreme social anxiety and a reluctance to engage with anyone in the outside world as we here her own commentary trying to explain how she is feeling, which is a young woman who is afraid of how dark the real world can be. What elevates this further is the surprise reveal that Jessica is actually the new Green Lantern, and despite her mental illness, the Lantern ring chose her which adds to the conflict within her as Jessica wrestles with this forced responsibility whilst trying to deal with her own life problems and fears.

Mental illness plays a big part in the story as the narrative then shifts to the 31st Century, where the Legion of Super Heroes are battling members of the Fatal Five who are attempting to steal a Time Sphere. It is here that we are introduced to the hero Star Boy who we learn is taking medication to settle his mind in order for him to function and fight within the Legion, though this is rather clumsily introduced as he is asked mid battle if he has taken his meds and the hint that his last dosage is starting to wear off under the strain of the battle. Star Boy eventually sacrifices himself as the members of the Fatal Five; Persuader, Mano and Tharok manage to reach the Time Sphere but Star Boy is able to complete the programming by Brainiac to trap the Sphere in stasis after it makes its time jump however he is brought back in time along with the Sphere. Star Boy whose real name is Thomas, immediately tries to find medication to help calm his mind by going to a drugs store only discover that the medication he takes does not exist in this time and he becomes more anxious and scared, he is unable to control his power to control gravity and accidentally hurts the Police who are called to investigate the disturbance.

These events lead to the first nostalgia moment as the Justice League take the mysterious Sphere into their care in order to investigate it and where it came from. It has been almost thirteen years since the final episode of Justice League Unlimited so to be back in this universe is a great step back in time for fans of the show and the early DC Animated Series of Superman and Batman who of course started it all. I loved the wonderful little touches of having the theme music of each character play as they make their entry into the story, especially with Superman and Batman who for me, are their best versions thanks to their animated series outside of the comic books. They are familiar and welcoming and the moments are enhanced by having the original voice actors Conroy, Newbern, and Eisenberg returning to the roles for this story.

But if you were hoping to see the whole original line up of the Justice League here sadly you may be disappointed as the story tries to maintain a very fair and balanced 5 Vs 5 dynamic with only Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman returning without The Flash, Martian Manhunter and Jon Stewart Green Lantern all absent for this adventure. Instead we have the tech genius Mr Terrific and Miss Martian making up the Justice League team which is fine, but still feels weird not having at least The Flash there. The surprising bonus of having Miss Martian here is that at this point she is not yet a full member of the League and is instead under the mentorship of Batman with this story serving as her assessment exam in a way. Miss Martian provides some light relief with a wonderful moment where Bat’s is complaining about working with kids which prompts Miss Martian to shape shift into the Tim Drake version of Robin to remind him of his history of working with teenagers. There are more lovely moments between the original Justice League characters, giving the story a nice charm to it for fans of the original show.

But the story does focus on the newly introduced characters of Jessica Cruz and Star Boy, and their connection through their shared mental health problems is wonderful to see on screen. Thomas, we learn, has been committed to Arkham asylum by Batman after he begins to ramble about being from the future and without his medication is unable to gather his thoughts coherently. This does seem a little unlikely that Batman would just dismiss this character, especially with his costume being clearly made from futuristic materials which the world’s greatest detective would clearly have tested, so the story does stick to what is more convenient for the plot then to actually spend time having the main characters act as they would actually act. Also, we have the fact that for a big chunk of the film, The Fatal Five are actually just a trio for most of the story, and just three of them seem fairly adequate to handle the Justice League members in the fighting.

The connection between Jessica and Thomas though is the heart and soul of this story, with Jessica being able to connect to him more than the other characters can and has a genuine want to help him whilst he is being dismissed by the rest of the cast. Jessica is able to find her inner strength and it is refreshing to see a super hero actually dealing with something so present in everyday life for so many people. We see Jessica talking to her therapist, seeking help for her mental health and having the power of a Green Lantern is a burden that the other Justice League members are pressuring Jessica to embrace leading to a moment with Wonder Woman where Jessica explains to her that just leaving her apartment everyday is a fight. Again, we also have Thomas, dumped in a mental asylum who is getting more support from Two Face of all people in Arkham and is just popping pills everyday to keep him calm instead of anyone actually engaging him to find out why or what is wrong.

The use of mental health is powerful but whilst it is used to give characters new depth, it is handled rather clumsily by having it largely ignored or dismissed by the main characters. By showing that superheroes can suffer from mental health issues offers a more human connection to them and the reward of seeing Jessica and Thomas dealing with theirs on a everyday basis serves as an example that more people than you would normally expect or notice in your own lives could also be suffering in silence on their own. By normalising these issues, this story is able to let the audience know that it is indeed a common illness and it certainly does make the effort to show how it can impact on a sufferer and the people around them.

Justice League Vs The Fatal Five is a fun and enjoyable story, and at 77 minutes manages to tell a well crafted story even if limiting the number of recognisable and fan favourite Justice League characters restrains the nostalgia vibe somewhat. But it is fun to return to this universe and seeing a moment in the future the Justice League are seen as the foundation of hope and heroism that inspires the League of Superheroes is a nice touch. Jessica Cruz is a solid new character whom I would be happy to see more stories focused on. This home release has some really good bonus features as well which is something, I fully appreciate in home versions of the film including a fantastic behind the scenes featurette as well as a preview of the next big release “Batman: Hush” which is looking really incredible.

The tone of the story does make this a more adult story so any parents or guardians may want to watch this before judging if their kids can handle the subject matter, but this is a fun story experience for anyone old enough to remember the original animated show and a good one to have in your collection if you do.

Justice League Vs The Fatal Five is out now on Digital Download and available on Blu-ray™ and DVD.

This week I found out I have been renewed as a Microsoft Xbox MVP for another year.

This is how Microsoft describes the Xbox MVPs:

“Xbox MVPs are community leaders who’ve demonstrated an exemplary commitment to helping others get the most out of their experience with Xbox products and services. They share their passion, knowledge, and expertise with Xbox and the community while encouraging others to do the same.
