Apple iOS 14 introduces BlastDoor Sandbox security system to iMessage

In the past, there have been various instances where security researchers revealed that a “string of texts” received over SMS could crash your phone or worse, send it into a boot-loop. These kinds of exploits have been reported at least once every year for both iOS and Android smartphones but turns out, iOS 14 has a way to thwarting these kinds of exploits for good, thanks to a system called BlastDoor.

Discovered by a Google Project Zero researched named Samuel Groß, BlastDoor works by parsing all the data contained in an iMessage in a secure sandbox, isolated from the rest of the operating system. By doing so, the contents of the iMessage, if nefarious, won’t have an impact on the OS. All apps installed on an iOS device exist in their own sandboxes, which governed by very tight policies. The BlastDoor sandbox for iMessage has been designed to thwart most exploits which either use brute force or exploit the shared cache on iOS.  Groß says he found the existence of BlastDoor when investigating a hacking campaign against Al Jazeera journalists. There were instances where the hacks did not work and the common thread appeared to be the fact that they were running iOS 14 on their iPhones.

While BlastDoor sandbox definitely makes iMessage more secure, it does not do much for the traditional SMS. Last year in April 2020, a text-based exploit was discovered which could be initiated via a normal SMS. A string of characters written in Sindhi when received as an SMS would freeze iOS completely, rendering the person’s iPhone/iPad completely useless till the OS would crash, and the device could be rebooted. This was due to a bug in iOS, one which Apple has since fixed, but it highlights how the short messaging service format is still a likely vector for delivering exploits.

Messaging apps have been a popular point of intrusion into smartphones for several years now. We’ve seen text message string crash phones, brick them permanently, lock them temporarily, and in one case, even serve as a means of gaining full access to the device. The now infamous Pegasus used a vulnerability in WhatsApp, allowing the hacker full access to a target smartphone, all done remotely. The BlastDoor sandbox for iMessage introduced in iOS14 should prevent some, if not all intrusion and malicious events.

Besides, MIUI 12.5 has been developed to reduce memory use by upto 20% while system operations are designed to use 32% less memory and a 17% decrease in power consumption.

MIUI 12.5 is compatible with many Xiaomi smartphones set to receive it following the global launch. From Mi 10 series to the Redmi Note 7 series, more than 20 smartphones will get updated to MIUI 12.5 this year.

Xiaomi is also expected to launch the Mi 11 series globally which could consist of the Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Lite as well as the Mi 11.

OnePlus Camera app source code reveals new features

It looks like OnePlus could introduce new camera features in its smartphone. If a teardown of the OnePlus camera app is to be believed, then we could see a host of new camera features coming to OnePlus smartphones, possibly with the OnePlus 9.

While OnePlus has tried to maintain its “Flagship Killer'' moniker, the one place it has always needed improvements is with the camera. While OnePlus has improved the camera on its smartphone it looks the company is looking at adding a host of features to its smartphone optics. 

With the release of the new Beta versions of OxygenOS for OnePlus 7 (review) and 7T (review), the new and updated camera app version 6.4.23 brings some new changes and features as spotted by XDA. The XDA team carried out a teardown of the updated Camera app showing that the company is working on improving camera features and adding new modes in the camera to improve its photography performance.

The first feature spotted in the app is the Tilt-Shift mode which essentially lets you take photos that look like a miniature model of the area captured. Few companies in the past have tried this mode. Then comes the Starburst Mode, this mode lets you create a star-like radiating shape when you point the camera at a strong light source such as the Sun or bright light. The camera app will automatically adjust the aperture of the lens to capture the radiating filter.

Moon mode, as the name suggests will best work for night sky shots and will include different camera filters to change the colour of the moon. The code shows references for Black and White, Matte, and Vivid filters for the moon.

Hyperlapse is also seeing an entrance with this update, as time-lapse was already included in the previous versions, the inclusion of hyperlapse would see a welcoming entry in the phone as timelapse is more for stationary subjects while hyperlapse is to capture movement over long distances.

Finally, the last feature to be discovered is Focus Peaking. This feature is included in many mirrorless cameras which allows the user to get the sharpest image in the area focused in the viewfinder.

It is good to see that OnePlus is working on new camera features that would improve the photography experience on the OnePlus phones. The new OnePlus 9 is expected to launch in March 2021 and it will be interesting to see how OnePlus steps up its performance with respect to smartphone photography.

FAU-G surpasses 10 lakh downloads in just a day of launch

FAU-G (Fearless and United Guards) has been downloaded by over one million Android phone users within 24 hours of launch. The game made its much-awaited debut on January 26 in India after having kicked-off the pre-registrations back in November 2020. Since PUBG Mobile is banned in India, demand for an Indian-alternative to the popular battle royale game is at an all-time high.

On the Google Play Store, FAU-G has been shown to be downloaded by over 1,000,000+ users which translates to over 10 lakh installs within 24 hours of launch. Additionally, FAU-G has been reviewed by users and currently stands at 3.9 ratings on the Google Play Store which is based on over 3 lakh reviews. 

To recall, PUBG Mobile was able to garner over 14 million downloads in 4 months since launch. Similarly, Call of Duty: Mobile in the first month of its launch saw over 148 million downloads and surpassed 250 million downloads within eight months from launch.

FAU-G had gained over 4 million pre-registrations before its launch and is backed by popular film actor Akshay Kumar under the Indian government’s “Atmanirbhar Bharat” campaign. Moreover, 20 per cent of the revenue generated by FAU-G will be donated by the developers to the Bharat Ke Veer trust which is the government’s fund-raiser for members of the Indian armed forces.

FAU-G currently only has a campaign mode which tells the story of the Galwan valley clash between the armed forces of India and China. The game does not have guns right now and players are offered different forms of melee weapons like clubs and axes to eliminate enemy forces. The premise of FAU-G remains simple which makes it easier to play including cutscenes and combat mode.

“Join a special unit of FAU-G commandos on patrol in dangerous border territory. Come face-to-face with India’s enemies as you engage with hostile invaders on Indian soil. Fight for survival against the unforgiving terrain and the implacable enemy. Fill the shoes of a patriotic soldier and experience the bravery, brotherhood, and sacrifice of the men guarding the country’s borders,” the developers write about the game.

Moreover, nCore Studio is also working on adding more levels to the game including weapons, team deathmatch and free for all modes which are likely multiplayer based. That said, it would be interesting to see how the developers take FAU-G forward with the planned features.

Xiaomi Mi Band 6 rumoured to feature inbuilt Alexa and SpO2 monitor

New leaks sharing key details of the unreleased Mi Band 6 have surfaced online. Xiaomi's fitness-centric wearable Mi Band is quite popular in the budget segment and going by the leaked details, the Mi Band 6 will possibly follow the same trajectory.

The Mi Band 6 is said to retain all the useful features of the Mi Band 5 and top it up with new tools and some visual improvements. A user named MagicalUnicorn has been sharing details of the Mi Band 6 on Geekdoing forum. In the firmware code, the source found the words ‘Mi Band 6’' and also, the CMIIT ID registration number that has passed the China Radio Certification

The user claims that the band is codenamed "Pangu" and will come in two variants - XMSH16HM and XMSH16HM. It appears the former will be a model with NFC limited and the latter won't give NFC. The variant with NFC is said to be China-only and the other would be released in both the China and global markets.

Everything we know about the Mi Band 6

The latest details of the Mi Band 6 come from the data spotted inside the Zepp (companion app owned by Huami) app code. The commands found in the firmware revealed that the band will come with in-built Alexa voice assistant and a SpO2 sensor to measure blood oxygen.

The code also shows that the bracelet will also inherit the previous generation product to support function. The Mi Band 6 may seemingly have a larger display than of the Mi Band 5's 1.1-inch. That's because the leaked watchfaces for the Mi Band 6 have a higher resolution than those found on its predecessor.

User 'MagicalUnicorn' also discovered that the Xiaomi Mi Band 6 could arrive with up to 30 activity modes compared to only 11 found on the Mi Band 5.

Apart from these details, a set of icon pack was also shared that shows support for some new apps. You can check out all the leaked assets by going to the source link mentioned below.

Airtels new data add-on plans offer 5GB and 25GB data with free Wynk premium

In a bid to take on Reliance Jio, Airtel has silently released two new data add-on plans for its prepaid subscribers. The two plans are priced at Rs 78 and Rs 248 targeted to serve different demands. 

The plan was first seen by OnlyTech on the Airtel Thanks app. The two plans, in addition to data add-on, offer free access to Wynk premium subscription. The Rs 78 plan offers one-month Wynk premium subscription whereas the Rs 248 plan comes with one-year validity.

Along with the new data add-on plans, Airtel has also added the option to buy Wynk Premium subscription straight from the Airtel Thanks app. The premium membership costs Rs 49 per month and Rs 399 per year on the Digital Store.

Earlier this month, Amazon Prime also launched a mobile-only edition of  Prime Video called Prime Video Mobile Edition in partnership with  Airtel. It is available with the Rs 89 recharge from Airtel.

Here's what the new Airtel data add-on packs offer

The two plans are only for Airtel prepaid users who want to add extra 4G data to their existing plan. As evident from the price, the Rs 78 plan offers 5GB of additional data and the Rs 248 plan offers 25GB of 4G data. Note that both the plans are applicable to existing plan's validity. Meaning, if your existing plan expires in 10 days, the add-on data will also be valid for the given period. 

If a user crosses the data tariff FUP, Airtel will charge 50 paise per MB from the main balance. If the account is out of balance, the user will not be able to access the internet using mobile data. 

The newly launched the Rs 78 data add-on plan for prepaid users offers 5GB of 4G data with the same validity as the subscriber's existing validity recharge plan. In addition, the data pack offers a one-month free Wynk premium subscription. The operator notes that once the data tariff FUP has been crossed, the usage of data will be charged at 50 paise per MB data.

MWC 2021 is scheduled to take place at the end of 2021 and it is possible we could get more information about upcoming Nokia phones then. 

According to the source, the Nokia 1.4 could be the first of the smartphones to launch. There is no official information on the specifications of the Nokia 1.4 but leaks indicated that the device will run on Android 10 (Go Edition) and come with an HD display.

Another smartphone expected to debut is the Nokia 6.3/6.4 5G. A recently Geekbench listing revealed a Nokia smartphone codenamed Quicksilver powered by the Snapdragon 690G.

Microsoft increases Xbox Live Gold subscription cost, backtracks after backlash

If you are a console gamer, then you know the cost and value associated with its subscription services. Microsoft was the first to start a subscription service in the console space with its Xbox Live subscription and until Game Pass, Xbox Live Gold was the gold standard of the console subscriptions. On Friday 22 January 2021, Microsoft decided to increase the price of the Xbox Live Gold Subscription. In a statement, the company said, “The price of a 1-month Gold membership is increasing $1 USD and the price of a 3-month membership is increasing $5 USD or the equivalent amount in your local market”. The statement went on to say, “Going forward, new pricing will be 1-month for $10.99, 3-months for $29.99, and 6-months for $59.99, or your local market equivalent”.

After massive fan backlash, Microsoft has backtracked on the subscription cost. In an update to the original statement, Microsoft said, “We messed up today and you were right to let us know. Connecting and playing with friends is a vital part of gaming and we failed to meet the expectations of players who count on it every day. As a result, we have decided not to change Xbox Live Gold pricing”.

The statement goes on to say, “We’re turning this moment into an opportunity to bring Xbox Live more in line with how we see the player at the center of their experience. For free-to-play games, you will no longer need an Xbox Live Gold membership to play those games on Xbox. We are working hard to deliver this change as soon as possible in the coming months”.

New and existing members will pay the same price for an Xbox Live Gold subscription as before - $9.99 for 1-month, $24.99 for 3-months, $39.99 for 6-months and $59.99 for retail 12-months.

To put things into perspective, internationally the PlayStation Plus subscription costs $59.99 per year. With the new price, Microsoft’s subscription would be twice as expensive as the competition. 

Xbox Live Gold for consoles in India is priced at Rs 489 per month + tax. It is priced exactly the same as the Console only variant of Game Pass. Game Pass Ultimate is priced at Rs 699 + tax per month and combines Game Pass for console and PC along with EA access and an Xbox Live Gold all into one package making it the ideal option for gamers.

Heres what we know about FAU-Gs in-game story

The launch of FAU-G is just a few days away and the excitement over the launch is quite palpable. In fact, Vishal Gondal has stated that the game already has over 4 million pre-registrations. That being said, there are a lot of unknowns when it comes to the game. Most notably, what sort of story players can expect. Here's what we have been able to piece together so far. 

What we know about FAU-G's story

We already know that the game will not offer a battle royale experience like PUBG Mobile. Rather, the game will instead aim to focus on the exploits of the Indian Army in various theatres of battle. However, the only level confirmed as of now is the Galwan valley level which is based on the clash that happened between the Indian and Chinese forces in the Galwan Valley. It should be noted that the forces on both sides are not allowed to use firearms in the region, which is why reports say the clash saw the use of improvised weapons like clubs. The game is trying to emulate the same, which is why there seems to be an increased focus on melee combat that we see in the trailers.  

What else is there to know about the FAU-G story

Well, that’s pretty much all that we know for now. It’s not yet known if there will be other levels to play, or if the Galwan Valley section will stretch over multiple sections. What we do know is that nCore Games plans to add new missions, levels and even weapons. However, we don’t yet know what all levels will be added to the game. Maybe in the future we’ll see levels based on Kargil, Operation Vijay and more.

Resident Evil 8 Maiden demo is now fully playable on the PS5

Resident Evil is one of the biggest and most well-known gaming franchises out there. From the first game in 1995, we were treated to a barrage of zombies, mutations, dangerous viruses and much more. The game has gone from a fixed camera with pre-rendered backgrounds to a third-person shooter to an actual First-person horror-adventure. The evolution of the series is not done yet as we got our first taste of Capcom's Resident Evil 8 in the form of a playable demo on the PS5. 

Titled ‘Maiden’, the demo is only available for the PS5 as of now. And here is how you can download it. 

Head over to the PS5 Store Type Resident Evil into the Search Bar The demo should pop up, if not, scroll down until you see it Download the demo to your PS5

Again, we must state that this is only available for the PS5. Another demo is planned for other platforms sometime in spring. From what we’ve seen of the demo, it looks like you’ll be playing as RE7 protagonist, Ethan Winters as he wakes up in a cell and has to find his out of a labyrinthine mansion, while being pursued by the titular ‘maiden’. The graphics do look great on the RE Engine, and we’re expecting the full game to blow our socks off when it does arrive. The game will launch on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Series S, and the Xbox One on May 7. The PS5 will launch in India on February 2 so in the meantime, check out the full demo, courtesy of Yong Yea, in the video below.

Soundcore launches Dolby Atmos Soundbar Infini Pro priced at Rs 15,999

Soundcore by Anker has launched a Dolby Atmos soundbar in India, the ‘Infini Pro’. The soundbar comes with 18 Months warranty and is available on Flipkart. It is priced at Rs 15,999. 

Coming to the specifications of the soundbar, it does not come with a subwoofer, something we saw with the Sony HT-X8500 Dolby Atmos Soundbar (review). 

Coming to the specifications of the Infini Pro the soundbar has two 2.5-inch midrange drivers and 1-inch tweeters. It also has built-in up-facing 3-inch subwoofers. On either side of the soundbar, there are symmetrical bass reflex ports. Soundcore claims that “to add even more bass intensity, Infini Pro is integrated with exclusive BassUp technology: a customized digital signal processor that enhances bass output in real-time”. The soundbar has 120W output.

Coming to connectivity options, the soundbar features two HDMI ports - one is the ARC port to connect to your TV and the other is a 4K HDR enabled pass-through port. With the pass-through port, you can connect a device like the Fire TV Stick, Set-top-box or even a Blu-ray player directly to the soundbar. 

Other connectivity options for the soundbar include AUX, Bluetooth 5 and Optical. The soundbar comes with three modes – Movie Mode, Music Mode, and Voice Mode. The soundbar comes with a remote control, but users can use the Soundcore App to control the soundbar. 

When it comes to the design, the Infini Pro is “wrapped in a discreet black fabric to allow it to blend effortlessly with home interiors”. From its design, it does resemble the Yamaha YAS-109. 

Another Dolby Atmos enabled soundbar at the 15k price segment is the Zebronics Zeb-Juke Bar 9700 Pro Dolby Atmos Soundbar. In our review of the Zebronics Zeb-Juke Bar 9700 Pro Dolby Atmos Soundbar we said that what the soundbar “has going for it is good connectivity options, a simple plug and play setup and support for Dolby Atmos decoding. While the Dolby Atmos performance is gimmicky, the bass-heavy nature of the soundbar makes it hard to recommend for all. If you don't want the additional HDMI pass-through ports and are looking for a surround sound experience, you can check out the similarly priced Sony HT-S20R. It is a 5.1 soundbar with dedicated surround speakers and has better overall sound output”.

FAU-G in-app transactions: Everything we know so far

The launch of FAU-G aka Fearless And United: Guards is just a few days away, and we still don’t have a complete picture of what the game will be exactly about. However, we can always try to piece together information about the game by taking into account what we already know. Let’s try and figure out what we can about FAU-G’s in-game microtransactions.

Now, whether you approve of them or not, microtransactions have managed to become a recognizable feature of gaming. The so-called ‘freemium’ game developers tend to take advantage of the same in order to make money while still offering their games for free. nCore Games has decided to go this route with FAU-G. The developers have already confirmed that the game will have in-app transactions in place. How much this will cost is not yet known. However, nCore Games have stated that 20% of the game's net revenue will be donated to Bharat Ke Veer fund.

So what can you buyin Fau-G?

When we reached out to Vishal Gondal, Investor and Advisor at nCore Games, he had declined to comment on what exactly players will be able to purchase within the game. However, what he did tell us that the developers will be updating the game regularly with new weapons, levels and missions. So one can assume that things may be similar to what we have seen with PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty: Mobile and Garena Free Fire, wherein players can pay to get their hands on certain variants of weapons or outfits in the game. 

Two currencies to juggle

Judging by the screenshots shared by the developers, there will be an in-game store and players will have to deal with two types of in-game currencies. There will most likely be a free currency that is given out just for playing the game, and then there will be the premium currency that players will have to spend real-world money to get. 

Considering the fact that we know very little about gameplay or the multiplayer aspect of the game, we can only hazard guesses on what players will be able to buy and what will be the incentive to do so. Thankfully, the game is scheduled to launch on January 26, so we don’t have to wait too long to find out how everything will work. You can check out our round-up of everything we know about the game so far here.
