Microsoft has been testing a lot of apps these days under the Microsoft Garage Project on android platform. They have been launching a lot of their products lately, and one on the list is the launcher called “Arrow Launcher”. This launcher has a lot of resemblance to the Next Lock Screen from Microsoft. And both these apps go beautifully hand in hand. It is currently in beta version for testing so there might be some glitches here and there.
The UI(User Interface) of the launcher looks really light and it’s smooth to use. Some user might find it difficult to use the vertical app drawer but there’s a search bar up top which makes it easier to search for apps.
You get 3 home screens and apart from that you can’t really add or remove any other home screens. The middle screen is where you’ll find the frequently used apps, on the left you get quick contacts and on the right; notes and reminder. Also if you swipe from the bottom you get another set of quick apps along with the recent contact list. You’ll also find the launcher settings there.
Since the app is in Beta, you can just change the wallpaper under the launcher settings. And you get a lot of great wallpapers which goes pretty well with this launcher. There isn’t much you can really customize, but still it’s a pretty great launcher to use and might come out pretty great once it’s stable. So until the final product is ready, it won’t be out on Google Play Store. But you can download the Beta version of this app from the link below: Also Contribute in the development of Arrow by joining Arrows Google+ community where you can report bugs and request feature.
The OnePlus One managed to generate quite a lot of love and enthusiasm in a short space of time. Perhaps it was because it offered a nicely balanced set of specs for a reasonable price tag. Or it could have been the way the manufacturer personally interacted with the community via its website, forums, and social networking. Maybe it was the custom Cyanogen Mod Android software, or perhaps even the eye-catching design.
The company literally didn’t exist until two years ago, springing up in December 2013 as the brainchild of former Oppo VP Pete Lau. The company has managed to achieve a pretty good share and support in its market and has given a tough competition to its fellow competitor who have been in the business for a long time such as Samsung, HTC, Motorola.
The company officially posted on its forum, website, and social media and for the announcement of the official launch event will take place on July 27 at 7 pm Pacific Time. But the company did something different as to others launch events. This time OnePlus is set to live stream its event in VR (Virtual reality). The company made its own alternative of Google cardboard and provided it to its customer free of cost in USA UK. In India, the company sold cardboard for Rs.99 on Amazon so that its fans can experience the event in 360. For those while doesn’t have cardboard can also enjoy the event live stream for the app that onePlus and released on the play store for its launch event.
Specs:
Companies typically like to keep every detail under wraps until the big unveil, but OnePlus is not your typical company. Rather than allow a barrage of leaks to ruin the surprise, OnePlus has been slowly revealing new details about its next flagship, a ploy meant to hype what’s to come. While we know some of the OnePlus 2’s specs, not every detail has been uncovered just yet. That means the device still has enough mystery to leave fans wanting more.
OnePlus 2 is going to be a beast. The company teases for its next flagship phone and we know that the new OnePlus 2 will have Snapdragon 810 processor (v2.1). This new processor is the updated version of the processor of the same name but with upgrades. The heating problem which was seen on 810 has been fixed and the new chip supports 4k live streaming. Also, the company teased that the phone will have 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM. The mobile will be first to use USB C type as seen first on the new MacBook. Company also teased that it will include a fingerprint scanner which is more precise that the IPhone and Samsung galaxy s6. It will be loaded with its own operating system Oxygen OS. There are still a few odds and ends, like storage, and it’s unclear how big the device’s screen will be (along with resolution). Rumors suggest fans can expect a 5.5-inch display with FullHD resolution, along with similar storage options to last year’s model, which offered 16GB and 64GB.
Camera: Renowned YouTube Gadget reviewer MKBHD recently posted some photos that were taken from the new OnePlus two. He has done a Full review of the new camera is a 13 MP f /2.0 with laser auto-focus. As from his words the camera is pretty good compared to last year but with more details and faster image processing and new laser focus helps in getting perfectly focused pictures which focus can be change from one object to another.
Price:
More recently, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has made some comments regarding how much will be phone be priced at compared to last year. The OnePlus Two will cost once it gets official later this month. According to a tweet from Lau’s official twitter account, the OnePlus Two will definitely be priced under $450, which is still very cheap compared to the Galaxy S6, HTC One M9 and iPhone 6 – they all cost in excess of $600.
Let’s wait a while:
The OnePlus One was a pleasant surprise, but will the next version repeat that feat and cement the company as one of today’s premiere mobile players? We’ll find out on July 27, when, in typical OnePlus fashion, the company holds a one of a kind VR announcement to unveil the device.
