OnePlus has been testing Android 9 Pie based OxygenOS for the OnePlus 6 for quite a while now and has released two updates on the Open Beta channel to test the stability and performance of the build before releasing it on the stable channel. The company recently started rolling out OxygenOS Open Beta 3 for the device which brings a number of changes and improvements for the operating system.


Here’s a brief look at the changelog for the latest update which is just over 1.5GB in size:


System

Fixed stability issues with ambient display


Improved stability for face unlock and fingerprint scanner


Added support to lunch Google Assistant or other third party assistant app by holding power button for 0.5 seconds


Parallel Apps

Added support for more apps (Telegram, Discord, IMO, Uber, OLA) in parallel apps


OnePlus Switch v2.1.0

Added manual connection method if unable to connect switch with QR code on the old device


Supported backup and recovery for application data including home screen, lock screen and app layout


Bug fixes and support for more Android models


Known Issues

Some applications may not function as expected when running on this beta version


Google Pay service is not working


Out of all the changes introduced in the latest update, the ability to bring up the Google Assistant by pressing the power button for 0.5 seconds seems the most interesting. The action mimics Apple’s implementation for Siri on the iPhone X and it’ll definitely come in handy, especially due to the fact that it’s crazy fast. The new option can be enabled/disabled from within the Buttons & gestures menu in Settings.


With the option enabled, users will have to press the power button for 0.5 seconds in order to bring up the Google Assistant and hold it down for 3 seconds in order to bring up the power menu. As of now, the new Google Assistant shortcut tends to interfere with the normal operation in case a user is just trying to switch off their device or restart it quickly. We hope the company addresses this issue before releasing the feature in a stable update.

Xiaomi could launch Mi MIX 3 5G on February 24th, ahead of MWC 2019

By Priyal Dalal
“While the Mi MIX 3 is pretty much certain to have a new 5G variant, the launch date remains debatable as of now.” Xiaomi is reportedly setting up to launch its first  5G-compliant smartphone , based on the Mi MIX 3, on February 24th. Word pertaining to the launch was shared on Twitter by user Ben Geskin, who is known to have tipped quite a few product launches in the past. However, the tweet has since been deleted, although the infographic that was shared has now been reuploaded online. To affirm, there is literally nothing in the invite that seems to suggest that the Mi MIX 3 5G will be launched on February 24th. It only reads ‘we make it happen’, along with Xiaomi’s company logo. While this indeed points at an impending launch from Xiaomi’s stable, it can also allude to other devices as well — for instance, the flagship Mi 9. That said, there is a fair amount of chance that the  Mi MIX 3 5G  will be launched at the Mobile W...
