Xiaomi Mi A1: Oreo update allows you to quick charge your device With the update to Android 8.0 Oreo, the Xiaomi Mi A1 can finally be recharged faster, thus remedying one of its flaws. Picture: Frandroid The Xiaomi Mi A1 had aroused the curiosity of a lot of people at the time of its announcement. Far from being a flagship, this smartphone has the main interest to be the first of the brand to run Android One, the very minimal version of Google's operating system. However, the interface was based on Android Nougat, but the beta of Android 8.0 Oreo is in progress (for beta users only). This update has brought a big positive point: fast charging.

Android P: Operators could hide the power of their network signals In current Android versions, you have the option to access network signal strength in Settings. A new piece of code spotted by XDA Dev gives us a strange indication for the next major update of Android. Android P could allow operators to hide the signal strength of their network, but not totally. Reports say that this feature was requested by different carriers and Google agreed to their demand. The motivation behind this change remains quite mysterious. It gives the impression that Google wants to allow operators to hide the real quality of their network. It is extremely difficult to select an operator, as information about the quality of their network remains unclear. However users can still measure their phone signal strength by using different applications and general developers will still be able to access the actual intensity. Source: www.newsaboutphones.com
