Apple Stuff, Oppo F3 Plus, Android O! (TechBytes)

TechBytes is a weekly dose of tech in one post! I put the relevant tech news, podcasts, videos, and more that you need to know! This week, it’s about the recent dump of Apple stuff, the OPPO F3 Plus, and Android O!

Headlines

The (Seemingly) Random Drop of Apple Stuff!

Last Tuesday, Apple launched new stuff through their website! They are the Special Edition (PRODUCT)RED™ iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, a new 9.7-inch iPad, new Apple Watch bands, and a new Clips app!

I think that those (RED) iPhones really look cool! They should have the black front glass though. I am REALLY REALLY tempted to get that new 9.7-inch iPad. Its price makes it a good deal for people who want a tablet just for content consumption.

I just hope more meaningful Apple stuff will come out in the coming months.

Oppo Ups the Selfie Game with the F3 Plus!

Despite not being popular in the Western side of the world, OPPO still got in the Top 5 Smartphone Vendors last year! I have to admit, the F1s is a really great device for its price. I even listed down 5 things that make the OPPO F1s great! Last Thursday, OPPO moved to their next chapter at being the “Selfie Expert”. It announced the F3 Plus!

In a nutshell, it’s basically a bigger version of the F1s Upgraded (the one with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage) with a dual front-facing camera!

Here are the specs of the F3 Plus for all you tech-savvy people:

6-inch 1080p display with Gorilla Glass 5
Qualcomm Snapdragon 653 processor
4GB RAM + 64GB internal storage
“Six-string” antenna design on the back
16MP rear camera
16MP normal + 8MP 120° wide-angle front camera setup

The phone is currently available for pre-order at your favorite phone shop or GO HERE to get it from Lazada!

Android O Developer Preview is OUT!

Also last week, Google released the 1st Developer Preview for Android O! They recently do developer previews earlier to help Android developers prepare for the final release of Android O (which will have a fun dessert name by then). Despite that, this release is ONLY for developers and installing this on your personal phone WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS. There’s even a chance you can’t reserve the damage until getting the final version later this year! Be careful.

New features include snoozing notifications from a certain app, notification channels which can help in sorting notifications properly, and the AutoFill framework for easier filling of forms in an app or a webpage.
