In leaning on seven days of news and headlines on the Android world, this week's Android circuit includes the final tests of the Galaxy S10, the major issues of Galaxy Note 9, the smartphone packages foldable Samsung, the latest details of the OnePlus 6T, unlocking the Nokia 8 boot loader, reviewing Huawei's game phone and Professor Layton for your smartphone.
Android Circuit is here to remind you of some of the many things that have happened around Android over the past week (and here you will find the Apple News weekly summary here).
Samsung Galaxy S10 is ready
The release of the Galaxy S10 is getting closer and closer, and now we hear that Samsung has integrated the design and is doing the final testing before manufacturing. Gordon Kelly of Forbes reports:
OnLeaks, also known as Steve Hemmerstoffer, reveals that the Galaxy S10 will look different from all previous Samsung phones, as the company plans "no less than 9" new color gradient models.
According to Mr. Hemmerstoffer, Samsung is also about to finalize the design of the Galaxy S10, because "the PVT is imminent". PVT stands for "Product Validation Testing" and was introduced when a device has reached its final version. If the tests are successful, it is the version that will be mass produced and shipped to customers.

Galaxy Note 9 Problems More
While Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 continues to receive rave reviews, bugs and software issues are causing problems for users. Not only is the delay of the camera still present, but the moderators of the Samsung Forum confirm that the South Korean company is also working on non-responsive programmable keys in the main interface of Android:
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 was seen as the ultimate evolution of the current generation. The Galaxy S10 should take a big step forward with an improved camera and improved biometric technology. These flaws on Note 9, which appear to be software-based, are not easily diverted by hand.
Since consumers are looking for more frequent and stable updates to their smartphone's main applications and operating system structure, it's important to deploy new changes and have the infrastructure to develop and test the applications. different configurations. Google has put a lot of emphasis on achieving the first by the new Android framework, but this only works if the manufacturers can work with the framework and allocate resources.
More about the problems here in Forbes.
The rare nature of the next galaxy F
Samsung is in the race for the launch of the first smartphone with retractable screen. To do this, we will have to go around the "mass" of the "mass market" because the alleged name of Galaxy F will be very limited. Gordon Kelly reports:
… Hard glass manufacturers, like Corning, can not produce flexible panels. Samsung had to develop a "clear polyimide plastic film" (a flexible and durable transparent adhesive) to stick to the folding glass. The gift of production, however, comes from the choice of the supplier by Samsung.
… Samsung has ignored South Korea's leading supplier Kolon Industries in favor of Japan's smallest company, Sumitomo Chemical. The reason: "because they could satisfy small orders" while Kolon focuses on the mass market.

More information about OnePlus 6T
Much noise around the OnePlus 6T coming this week, the two outstanding items being the confirmation of the previously disclosed release date, and the addition of a feature often requested. The first step is the launch event, with a leaked image of the invitation and a date corresponding to the date on the screen in OnePlus promotional material:
This detail comes from the invitation to the OnePlus 6T launch event. Published on Weibo (and reported by MySmartPrice and others), it uses the same marketing slogan as last week's announced media ads ("Unlock The Speed"), above "OnePlus 6T Launch Event, October 17, India ".
Then we have a small clue, materially, that the 6T will finally come with wireless charging.
But that's the final blow [from a promotional video] that caught my attention. The OnePlus 6T sits on a rounded white disc with a small electrical cable at the 12 o'clock position. Although it may be a nice desk stand, a car dashboard stand or a curiously shaped case with an external battery, my money is simpler.
I think that it's a wireless charging plate and that the OnePlus 6T will (finally) bring an inductive charge to handsets made in Shenzhen.

HMD Global Unlocks The Nokia 8
Since HMD Global brought Nokia's name back to the world of smartphones, it has taken many initiatives to show its long-term support of the ecosystem and seduce the passionate public. This week, he made another gesture that means very little to most people, but exemplifies that commitment. The Nokia 8 bootloader is being unlocked for those who wish to perform extreme customization at the operating system level. GSM Arena Reports:
Unlocking a boot loader is not for everyone. Nokia declares that the warranty will be canceled and that once unlocked, your device will no longer be eligible for a warranty even if you lock it again. If you unlock a boot loader, some applications will stop working like Netflix, some banking applications and Google Pay will not work because the security of the device is compromised.
You will find more details on this procedure on the Nokia.com website, as well as specific warnings:
HMD Global will not be responsible for damage caused by unlocking your boot loader or by any custom software flashed on your phone. We strongly recommend that you do not unlock the boot loader unless you understand all the risks involved.

Review of The Honor Play, Huawei's Game Phone
After the release of Razer phone last year and the focus on gaming, a number of other manufacturers have turned to this market place, including Huawei. The game of honor is his entry, and Alexander Maxham examined the handset:
This is a smartphone for games, but that's not the only reason you're taking this smartphone. That's because this smartphone still has a great camera with many AI features, as well as a large capacity battery that should last all day, and a fairly low price – given its specs . This makes it a great option for those who want something powerful, but who does not break the bank either.
More to the Android titles.
And finally…
After years of rave reviews, Nintendo's popular title "Professor Layton" will be appearing on Android (and iIS) this week. If you venture into 'The Curious Village', you'll be able to pair with riddles, adventures, crazy characters and old-school charm. Swapna Krishna reports:
The game, which Level-5 originally released 11 years ago on the Nintendo DS in Japan, follows Professor Layton, an archaeologist and his apprentice, Luke. A rich widow asks them to find an object hidden by her late husband, the baron. Whoever finds it will inherit its immense wealth.

This is a smartphone for games, but that's not the only reason you're taking this smartphone. Indeed, this smartphone still has a great camera with many features of artificial intelligence, and a large capacity battery that should last all day and a relatively low price, given its technical sheet.
