In leaning on seven days of news and headlines around the world of Android, this week's Android circuit includes issues related to Galaxy Note 9 and S-Pen cameras, specs and specs. S10 camera, the launch of the Nokia 7.1, the controversial features of OnePlus 6T confirmed, Mate The 20 Pro fingerprint reader, the details of Pixel 3 XL and the Google podcasting program.
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).

Praise and problems for Galaxy Note 9
Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 has been critically acclaimed, but it also addresses many quality control issues in software and hardware. As shown in last week's Android circuit, the camera is slow and can freeze for some users. The latest firmware from South Korea should address these concerns. XDA-Developers has the details of the update, including improvements to image quality and changes to the underlying code:
Samsung also notes that even though these are the highlighted features of this update, other changes could also be included. This can include improvements in device stability, bug fixes, new or improved features, performance improvements, and more.
What is the quality of the camera? A number of reviewers have talked about it, but many are waiting for the announcement of DoXmark test results. Samsung will be delighted with the result, as Paul Monckton of Forbes reports:
Interestingly, according to DxOMark, the Galaxy Note 9 has already done very well in many areas covered by the update. For example, dynamic range and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) have both been praised in testing. However, underexposure of faces in backlight conditions was a particular area of criticism on the part of DxOMark. Samsung may have been paying attention to this question.
In addition to camera problems, Samsung also faces issues with the S-Pen stylus in Note 9. Reports are building on the fragile nature of the new design.
Fortunately, the S-Pen is a detachable accessory. Unlike the sealed battery of Note 7, which has finally recalled a whole series of phones, replacing the S-Pen with an improved device is not an easy task, it's rather expensive, both in terms of liquidity to cold and damage to reputation.
The last thing Samsung needs is to attach another physical flaw in the design process in the name of the note. Not only would this hurt the sales of Note 9, but, with the Galaxy Note range potentially on the hash block, the S-Pen could be the last straw that kills the note.

Galaxy S10 Camera Specifications
The Galaxy S10, Samsung's 10th anniversary, is waiting for its wings. With the planned launch and release of the first quarter of 2019, the smartphone should be a more innovative update of South Korea's flagship product. Gordon Kelly should also rely on the camera to make it an essential feature:
… The Galaxy S10's main sensor matches the Galaxy S9's 12.5-megapixel f1.5 / 2.4 aperture lens. This will be supported by a 16-megapixel super-wide sensor with an aperture of 1.9 and a 123-degree field of view, as well as a 13-megapixel (optical zoom) telephoto lens with an aperture of 2.4.
… Wide-angle lenses and telephoto lenses have a very small pixel size of only 1 μm, which limits the amount of light that both modules can capture. More positively, a pixel size of 1.4 μm on the main sensor located in line with Apple iPhone XS and Google Pixel 2 XL.

Nokia 7.1 launches with Pure Display technology
HMD Global deployed the latest Nokia smartphone while continuing its quest to bring the name of the powerhouse back into the world of modern smartphones. The Nokia 7.1 – which could very well be marketed as Nokia 7 (2018) – is part of the AndroidOne program and is a solid midrange smartphone with interesting additions. Jimmy Westernberg has the details, including the new display technology:
It comes with the Snapdragon 636 chipset from Qualcomm, but also has an advantage in terms of storage and RAM. There are still two variants, but they are relegated to 3 GB of RAM / 32 GB of storage, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. The 3 / 32GB model is the only one to come to the United States.
He also gets a nice bump on the front of the screen. The 7.1 comes with a 5.84-inch LCD screen with a 19: 9 aspect ratio and Full HD + resolution. Nokia calls this the Pure Display because it supports HDR10 as well as the upward conversion from SDR to HDR.

Disappointment following confirmation of the latest OnePlus 6T feature
The week before the launch of the OnePlus 6T was disappointing. The "good news" of the smallest and biggest battery of last week was tempered by the confirmation that the headphone jack is no longer … not only that, but the decision is explicitly linked to the new fingerprint reader digital. General Manager Pete Lau explained this reasoning to Lynn La from CNet:
One of the reasons that OnePlus has cut the headphone jack has been to leave room for the built-in fingerprint sensor, which the company has dubbed Screen Unlock. By relocating the physical sensor located at the back of the phone under the screen, the fingerprint reader occupies an essential space inside, near the bottom of the phone.
… For those who are unhappy that the OnePlus 6T will not take hold, Lau thinks the tradeoffs are worth it. "After experimenting with unlocking the screen, you will fall in love with it," he said. "[You’ll] realize that it is the experience you wanted. "

P20 Pro Leak has fingerprints everywhere
It also seems that OnePlus is in the running for the first Western consumer manufacturer to have the integrated fingerprint reader. This week, the news of Huawei P20 Pro has been disclosed, revealing the same biometric unlock system. David Lumb has more:
The Huawei Mate 20 Pro will almost certainly be unveiled on October 16[[[[the day before the alleged launch of OnePLus 6T – Ewan], and one of its supposed characteristics has been corroborated by a revealed photo found on Weibo and published by TechTastic. Someone would have seized the company's next flagship phone and would have forced it to reveal what looked like a fingerprint scanner under the front screen.
We had already seen spy photos showing the same component presumed before. This new leak is therefore further proof that the Huawei smartphone will get a built-in fingerprint reader on the screen.

The details of the last pixel 3 unveiled before the launch of next week
Next week, Google will officially unveil the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL to the media, although almost all features and features of the handset have been largely filtered. But let's take a last look at the expectations. Jacob Kastrenakes summarizes the known details starting with the screen:
Info is a bit sketchy about the exact size of each of the screens (which is odd considering the extent of leaks), but rumors point to a 6.7-inch screen on the XL ( 0.7 inches more than last year). and a 5.5-inch screen on the smaller model (a 0.5-inch jump). It seems that these two increases are entirely due to the removal of the borders instead of the enlargement of the peripherals. And although the 6.7-inch format will still be important, it will be a little less imposing than it seems because of the large format of your phone.
The complete breakdown is at the limit.
And finally…
After launching the Google Podcasts app in June, Google opened its "podcasting program" to address the issues of diversity, inclusion, and sustainability in the podcast landscape. Abner Li reports:
Google's podcasting program aims to address two imbalances as the industry gains popularity: "Women and people of color are still under-represented as hosts, and many of the most popular podcasts in the world come from western urban areas. " pillars:
Empowerment and training of underrepresented voices through an acceleration program; educate a global community with free tools; and showcase the work of participants as a model for others
