Oppo 3000 Is Company’s Newest Mid-Ranger, Available In China For 1,599 Yuan ($256)
Oppo has released a couple of devices in the last couple of months. The company has announced their newest flagship, the Oppo N3, at their event in China back in October. The Oppo R5 was also announced at that event, and was even the thinnest smartphone in the world at the time, but held that title briefly. Oppo wasn’t particularly active since then, but the company did announce the mid-range Oppo R1C in the meantime, back in January. We didn’t expect this China-based company to introduce new devices for a while now, but they just announced yet another smartphone silently.
The Oppo 3000 is another Oppo-branded mid-ranger which is trying to appeal to customers. This handset features a 4.7-inch 720p (1280 x 720) display along with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage which you can expand via microSD card up to 128GB. This handset is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 410 SoC, a 64-bit quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz which comes with an Adreno 306 GPU for graphics. If you take a look at the back of this device, you’ll notice an 8-megapixel camera (Sony’s IMX179 sensor) which is flanked by an LED flash, while there’s a 5-megapixel snapper available up front (wide-angle lens). 2,000mAh battery ships with this device and Oppo’s VOOC rapid charging technology is also available here, and should provide extremely fast charging times. This handset measures 137 x 68.8 x 8.95mm and has a screen-to-body ratio of 65%, which is not all that great. Its screen is surrounded by very noticeable bezels and I do believe Oppo could have done a better job trimming those. Another thing to note is that this device supports dual-SIM, dual standby connectivity, for those of you who need that, and also offers 4G LTE connectivity (Chinese bands for now).
The Oppo 3000 is a solid mid-ranger if you don’t mind those bezels around the screen, but I’d find it hard to recommend this device to anyone because of its price. This thing is priced at 1,599 Yuan ($256), and you can purchase a far better-specced device for that amount of money in China. This handset is priced way too high in my opinion and similarly-specced devices in China cost half that much. That’s just my opinion though, let me know what you think.

Qualcomm Reportedly Under Investigation By South Korean Fair Trade Commission Over Anti-Trust Issue
Qualcomm may be the leading mobile chip manufacturer and have their chips placed inside of tons of different devices, but that apparently doesn’t make them exempt from any sort of practice that can be looked at negatively. According to an unnamed source of South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission and reported on by Maeil Business Newspaper of South Korea, the South Korean Fair Trade Commission(which deals with anti-trust issues in the country)is currently investigating Qualcomm over potential abuse of their dominant market position as the top mobile chip maker. The same commission reportedly fined Qualcomm for this very issue years ago back in 2009 for a total sum of $200 million USD.
Whether or not Qualcomm is doing the same thing again remains to be seen as the source would only comment that Qualcomm was being looked at for the matter. As part of the investigation the South Korean Trade Commission will have to ask questions to some of the region’s leading smartphone manufacturers which use Qualcomm’s chips inside of their devices, which of course includes top brands and rival competitors Samsung Electronics and LG. Maeil also apparently states that Intel Corp., will be included in the investigation as they’re a direct rival to Qualcomm in the mobile chip space, although they have only recently in the last few years been making their way into the mobile market.
If this investigation is truly happening, it won’t be the only investigation Qualcomm has had to deal with lately as they had recently finished with a previous investigation that lasted 14 months, that was conducted by the Chinese government over anti-trust issues, which prodded into the U.S. chip makers licensing practices. Neither Qualcomm nor the South Korean Fair Trade Commission have officially commented on the investigation at this point in time. Qualcomm is the U.S. leading mobile chip manufacturer based out of San Diego, CA. and is currently developing the Snapdragon 810 chipset which is scheduled to be in a handful of this year’s high-end flagship devices, including rumors of it powering the Galaxy S6, the LG G4, and has already been confirmed to be inside of LG’s G Flex 2 which was announced earlier this year at CES last month.

It’s official: Lollipop has begun rolling out to Motorola Moto E and Motorola Moto Maxx owners. Well, some of them anyway. Announced on Motorola’s official blog, it’s more of a soak test that starts with the Moto E in India and Brazil, as well as the Moto Maxx (GSM variant of the DROID Turbo) in Mexico and Brazil.
If everything turns out alright and no major bugs are discovered, the update will expand to new regions around the world. If you live outside of Mexico, Brazil, or India and own either one of these devices, just know that the update is practically on your doorstep.

Google Chromebook Pixel 2 “Samus” Seems To be In The Works And Spotted On Chromium Issue Tracker
Two years ago (almost exactly actually) Google launched the be-all and end-all of all Chromebooks, the Chromebook Pixel. Now, most people will simply remember this device as the Chromebook that no one could afford. While Chromebooks are generally considered to be a price-sensitive item designed to offer a cheaper alternative, the Pixel was anything but. This Chromebook came in at nearly $1300 for the very cheapest (32GB) option. For that kind of price, there are a number of other more traditional (and powerful) laptop options available. That said, this was not any kind of laptop and instead came with some really impressive specs (even more so when remembering this is now two years old) such as a 12.85-inch touchscreen display with a 2560×1700 resolution (239 ppi), 4GB of DDR3 RAM, HD Webcam, Intel Core i5 and a dual-core 1.8GHz processor. Not to mention the build quality was second-to-none. As such this was more of a showpiece than anything else.
With such an item simply being for ‘show’ and especially with such a high price tag, one would be forgiven for thinking that this will be a one-time thing. No future reincarnations so to speak. Well, if that was your thinking, then it now seems that a Pixel 2 might not only be on the table, but actually it might be already very much in development. The latest speculation comes from a bug report which was filed on the Chromium project issue tracker. The issue in question was related to the the ‘DisplayPort USB Type C adapter’ and was attached to an image which clearly seems to be of the (now first generation) Chromebook Pixel. The problem was though, it came attached for a device codenamed “Samus”. Although the pic seems to be of the original Pixel, the codename for that Chromebook was “Link” and as such the speculation is now rife that the Pixel 2 is in development,
Of course, at such an early and speculative stage, specs are literally an unknown. However, it is being suggested that the device will come running with an Intel 5th generation Core Y-Series processor, an interactive lightbar and a backlit keyboard. It is also largely a given that the Pixel 2 should come with a touchscreen display. It is also being rumored that Samus will come with a USB 3.1 ‘Type C’ ports which offer data transfer of up to 10 Gbps as well as being reversible ports. Of course, until Google actually announces the device, we will have to wait and see if it is actually coming and what it will be coming with. Although, with Google just announcing their I/O event in May, we might not have to wait that long? What do you think? Would you buy a Chromebook Pixel 2? What would be a good price for it? Let us know.

Samsung Galaxy S6 pictured inside new clear cases and renders showing what it could look without them
Amidst a report from Bloomberg reportedly confirming rumors that Samsung will introduce a 3-sided variant of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 (the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge) more case renders have leaked out giving us a possible sneak peak at the phone inside. This marks yet another occasion the phone has been leaked thanks to 3rd party case makers.
Posted onto WowWee Robotics Group’s Weibo account, the phone appears nestled inside a few more leaked cases that feature a clear back and various colored TPU edges. You’ll notice the sides of the case have a shaved shaved mid-section, appearing to mimic details on the phone we saw in leaked schematics of the phone.
Of course, the Galaxy S6’s camera hump is in plain view, along with the LED flash and fingerprint reader which have been moved from the bottom of the camera (where they were on the Galaxy S5) to the right side of the raised camera lens. Gone is the rear facing speaker, moved to the bottom of the device along with the headphone jack. We’d make obvious comparisons to the iPhone 6, but we know how much Galaxy fans hate that, so we’ll keep our mouths shut for now.
If you were curious to see what these renders would look like without those cases obstructing the view, the folks at UnderKG are happy to oblige you. They put together a few renders of the phone taken straight from the leaked schematics we showed you awhile back. We’d say they did a bang up job and would be willing to bet this is extremely close to what the final design will look like. What do you think?
In a previous post, we received details on the specific camera sensor that may come equipped on the Galaxy S6 or its 3-sided Edge variant. For those that haven’t been keeping up, Samsung has already scheduled a March 1st event in Barcelona for the Galaxy S6’s big reveal (although technically, they haven’t revealed the name just yet). Of course, Phandroid will be on hand for the event, bringing you the latest as it unfolds.

YouTube Radio Appears To be A New Experimental Feature Being Tested With Select Users
YouTube may be getting a new feature down the line called YouTube Radio, which is reportedly being experimented with as an extension of the YouTube Mix feature that is already part of the video service. The way the feature is explained sounds a lot like how Pandora or Google’s own I’m Feeling Lucky Radio goes about finding the next thing for you to listen to, by first creating a non-stop streaming radio station based off of currently playing videos, then letting users custom tailor their listening experience by either liking, disliking, and removing streaming videos from the station, which eventually could lead to a more tailored experience of stuff you actually want to hear and view.
With a non-stop station playing music videos continuously all based on the first video you stream, it gives users another option to listen to music throughout the day without having to deal with the cap of the 50 video limit which is currently available through the YouTube Mix function. As this seems to be an experiment at the moment it will be limited to a select group of YouTube users, but if it tends to be a popular one Google could end up rolling it out to everyone in the future. Whether or not Google would keep this alongside the already available YouTube Mix or replace it with this improved feature is unknown, although if users have an option to stream continuous videos non-stop there really would be no point to having a similar function that stops at 50 videos.
Right now details seem to be fairly scarce on when or if Google actually plans to launch YouTube Radio to the rest of its users, and we have to wonder if this is something that will make it onto the mobile platform as part of the YouTube Music Key service which users can get access to alongside All Access for a monthly $9.99 fee. The experimental feature was spotted by a blog called Google Operating System, which also was able to grab a few screenshots of the service in action so we can have an idea what it would look like if this becomes a permanent thing for all users later on. If Google rolled out a YouTube Radio feature would you use it? Or would you continue to stick with the services you’re already accustomed to?

Samsung Galaxy S6 camera detailed: 20MP sensor with OIS, will feature Pro mode with manual focusing [RUMOR]
Early this morning, Samsung R&D Chief DoonHoon Jang took to the official Samsung Tomorrow blog to tout the company’s history of cutting edge smartphone cameras, while teasing a new camera for their 2015 flagship model ( Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge). How exactly did Samsung show off 15 years worth of R&D? With a cheap megapixel table. How wonderfully basic.
Of course, as most photographers will tell you, MPs alone does not a good photo make. Thankfully the boys at SamMobile are helping shed a little more let on the specific hardware being used in the upcoming Galaxy S6/Galaxy S6 Edge, with an exclusive on some of the finer details. According to them, Samsung could be going with their own in-house 20MP camera sensor with OIS (model numbers SLSI_S5K2T2_FIMC_IC and SLSI_S5K4E6_FIMC_IS) and the same 5MP front facing shooter as found on Samsung’s current Galaxy A series line.
Still up in the air is which variant these sensors will wind up on — the Samsung Galaxy S6 or Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. Due to manufacturing constraints, it’s entirely possible the 20MP sensor will find itself landing on the Galaxy S6 Edge only. This also explains why the Galaxy S6 Edge popped up in benchmarks not too long ago reporting a 20MP camera.
As for the software, Samsung is said to be leveraging Android 5.0 Lollipop’s new camera APIs for a new “Pro” mode inside their camera app. Pro mode will give users the ability to choose between 3 different focus modes, one of which will allow for manual focusing. There was no word on whether the phone will shoot in RAW, but for a “Pro” mode, it’s definitely a possibility.
As for the more causal shooter, Samsung did mention that their 2015 flagship phone will feature an “intelligent” camera that does all the thinking for the user, providing for better image quality “under any conditions.” If the Galaxy Note 4 taught us anything, it’s that Samsung definitely knows photo quality. Here’s to hoping that with the Galaxy S6, Samsung is able to put their money where their mouth is.

Nvidia Sales For 2014 Are Positive Thanks To Gamer Support Of Nvidia GPUs
Nvidia is a company that deals mostly in the manufacturing of graphics chips, mainly for PC’s but in the last 3-5 years they have been developing mobile GPUs in an attempt to expand into the space. Ever since their mobile chip division had been taking some hits as of the release of the Tegra 4, Nvidia was expected by many to post losses as a whole, although not just due to their declining mobile chip sales but also due to a struggling PC market. In spite of this, Nvidia is reported to have posted another strong quarter in sales thanks to the graphics chips being bought up, posting a profit of $193.1 million up from $146.9 million at the same time in 2013. This also led to Nvidia’s revenue growth reaching a total of nine percent.
PC gaming is a huge business, and with games from the current generation pushing the envelope with graphics even further, Nvidia has been able to maintain a strong sales outcome because their chips provide gamers with a stellar visual experience, and PC gamers tend to be an especially loyal lot. Q4 2014 profits however are more so from PC GPUs than mobile chips as there aren’t that many mobile devices sporting the Tegra chipset anymore, which caused a slight decline in mobile chip sales totaling a drop of fifteen percent, bringing their mobile chip sales to $112 million for the fourth quarter in 2014.
Although Nvidia has stated before that they won’t be continuing to power smartphones with their latest Tegra processing chips like they had in the past, we’ll still continue to see Tegra GPUs like the recently unveiled Tegra X1 chip(termed by Nvidia CEO as the world’s first mobile super chip)inside of tablets and Nvidia’s own future gaming centered mobile devices, like the rumored successor to the Shield Tablet. Nvidia is also placing their chips inside of Automobiles in a move to break into the connected car market, and of course they will continue to pump out graphics cards for PC’s as gamers will seemingly ever be eager to upgrade their gaming rigs to take advantage of the next big game that boasts impressive graphics.

Creepy Platformer And Steam Favorite LIMBO Crawls Into The Play Store For $5
In English, the word "limbo" can refer either to a party dancing game where participants walk under a horizontal bar or a theological concept referring to plane of existence between life and damnation. Take a look at the screenshot above. Which one do you think the game LIMBO is about?
LIMBO debuted on Steam, Xbox Live, the PlayStation Network and other download services back in 2010. It helped kick off the current trend for dark and moody platformers focused on exploration and atmosphere more than twitchy action.
