LG G Pad 7.0, 8.0, and 10.1 will get Lollipop on April 12
4/10/2015 1:45:38 PM
So far the only LG tablet to get updated to Android Lollipop is the G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition, unsurprisingly since in that case such rollouts are handled by Google. However, if you own one of LG's three midrange tablets launched last year, you're apparently in for a treat too. The LG G Pad 7.0, G Pad 8.0, and G Pad 10.1 (pictured below) should all run Lollipop starting this Sunday, on April 12. This is obviously the intended day for the commencing of the rollout. Getting it to all the devices out there might take a few days, keep that in mind. And as usual, we might see different regions scoring the update at different times. On the other hand, LG says the updates will be available to download on its website as well, so perhaps you'll be able to grab the necessary files and install them through your computer if you don't like waiting. At this point it's unclear if LG has included any additional new stuff in these updates, aside from what Lollipop brings with it from Google's...

HTC has started rolling out the new Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update for its selfie smartphone - Desire EYE.

ROM version is 2.19.709.1 (1008.9MB).— LlabTooFeR (@LlabTooFeR) April 10, 2015 The new Lollipop system update bears 2.19.709.1 build version and weighs 1008.9MB heavy.

Vivo Xshot successor tipped to come with phase detection AF
4/10/2015 7:32:47 AM
The Vivo Xshot was just over at our office for the usual review routine, but apparently it's successor is well in the works. Evidence coming from an internal company meeting suggests further steps are being taken towards a more serious photography-oriented package. Auto-focus was one area, where Vivo saw room for improvement, and insider info claims that a new phase detection system is to be utilized. So far phase detection has been employed in the likes of Samsung Galaxy S5, the Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and LG G3, outside of the system's main DSLR use. Judging by the image above, Vivo has put it to good use. The table presents a comparison of focusing times with the new Chinese model consistently ahead of the iPhone 6, by as much as 0.09s. While it may not sound like much, it's actually up to 30% faster, which could be critical in certain situations. The unnamed source has additionally revealed that a new 20MP sensor will be used, replacing the 13MP one in the current Xshot. It's also been reported that the next-gen smartphone is coming this May, so if any of this ends up true, we're in for a treat sooner, rather than...
