You know Android is the king of smartphone when you get numbers like this – a report online shared that the OS from Google is currently holding about 86.2% of the world smartphone market share for the first half of 2016. Trailing way behind is iOS with under 12%.  

We have talked about a newly discovered vulnerability that affects Android smartphones that is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors named QuadRooter. Thankfully, the majority of the smartphones are safe thanks to Google’s Verify Apps function.

With over a billion devices running Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor right now, the scale of a newly discovered vulnerability is staggering. Called Quadrooter, it can essentially take over the data on your smartphone.

Having dual-camera modules seems to be the thing to have with manufacturers today. The Honor 6 Plus, HTC One M8 and the current crop of Huawei P9 and LG G5 are some of the smartphones that are now sporting dual-camera sensors. We will definitely see more in the near future, as Samsung is listed as one of the major suppliers of dual-camera modules to Chinese OEMs.

One of the main investors in Chinese phone makers OnePlus, Vivo and Oppo, BBK Electronics Corporation, has just launched a new brand in China called imoo and it will be reportedly producing the world's “first educational smartphone”.

If you have the Oppo R7s, you may want to take note of this story. Oppo just announced Project Spectrum, a new firmware by the company for their range of smartphones that brings the stock experience to Oppo phones, but with built-in Oppo features.

While everyone else is showing off their latest gadgets at MWC 2016, OPPO decided to do something differently by showing us their latest Super VOOC technology, which is a live demonstration of a smartphone charging from 5% to 100% in just 15 minutes, as well as a new SmartSensor Optical Image Stabilization (OIS).

Qualcomm has just issued a press release detailing some of the key features of its top end processor, theSnapdragon 810. The chip maker also revealed some of the companies which will incorporate this SoC inside their upcoming devices. There are officially two flagship phones which currently use Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, LG's high-end LG G Flex 2 and the recently announced Xiaomi Mi Note Pro. The chip maker also revealed the names of the smartphone manufacturers who will use this processor which includes Sony, OPPO and Motorola, thereby confirming at least one aspect of their upcoming flagship devices. However, these three weren't the only names brought up by Qualcomm as the press release also revealed that one of Microsoft's smartphones will also use this processor. Given the high-end placement of the chip, it is likely that the phone will be the next Lumia flagship. This is quite surprising as Lumia devices are generally not known to come with the latest Snapdragon chipsets. It is still not known what Microsoft device will feature this chip, but it would most likely come with the new Windows 10 operating system. Expect more details at MWC 2015 to be held in Barcelona next month.
