Spotify is testing Artist-created Stories on Playlists

It seems that almost every platform is introducing an Instagram Stories-like feature on its app. The latest one to join the party is Spotify as it is reportedly working on a similar feature. With the holiday season approaching quickly, the music streaming giant has been updating its ‘Christmas Hits’ playlist and along with that, it is testing its own Stories feature. Certain Spotify users on Android and iOS have confirmed that a new Stories feature has popped up on the app.

The feature, in a way, works similar to how the Stories feature works on Instagram or Facebook, but there is a slight difference. It seems that these Stories can only be pinned on top of playlists and currently you can only see artists posting short clips of themselves on the corresponding playlist. For instance, the stories on the Christmas Hits playlist includes videos from artists like Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Lopez, Pentatonix, and more.

Spotify has stories now….

According to Engadget, Spotify has confirmed that it is currently testing this feature. “At Spotify, we routinely conduct a number of tests in an effort to improve our user experience. Some of those tests end up paving the path for our broader user experience and others serve only as an important learning. We have no further news to share on future plans at this time,” said a Spotify spokesperson.

This doesn’t really come as a surprise since popular apps like Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and more recently, even LinkedIn include the stories feature. Spotify has not confirmed when these Stories will be made visible to all users or whether one can add them to their own playlists in the future.

Jabra Elite 85t TWS with ANC launched in India for ₹18,999

After unveiling the Elite 85t in the US and Europe earlier this year in September, Danish audio equipment manufacturer Jabra has now launched its latest TWS earbuds in the Indian market. The all-new Jabra Elite 85t feature the same semi-open design as the Elite 75t, with some minor tweaks to make the new earbuds more comfortable. But while the design isn’t all that new, Jabra has included one noteworthy feature in the latest model — active noise cancellation support.

Jabra claims that the new Elite 85t comes equipped with a dedicated ANC chip to offer “the most cutting-edge noise-cancellation technology on the market.” Jabra has updated its companion app with the new ANC feature, which now gives users access to 11 levels of controls — from full ANC to full HearThrough (Jabra’s marketing term for transparency mode).

The Jabra Elite 85t pack in 12mm drivers that offer “big sound and powerful bass” and a six microphone array (three on each ear, two on the outside, one on the inside) with improved wind noise protection for calls, along with Siri and Google Assistant support. The Elite 85t comes with oval-shaped silicone ear gels that offer a better seal and improved passive noise isolation.

The Jabra Elite 85t offers up to 5.5 hours of playback with ANC turned on and an additional 25 hours with the Qi-certified wireless charging case. With ANC turned off, the earbuds are rated for up to 31 hours of total playback. Other features include an IPX4 rating for water and sweat resistance and customizable playback controls using the Sound+ companion app.

Pricing and Availability

The Jabra Elite 85t is priced at ₹18,999 and it will be available in the Titanium Black colorway on Amazon from December 1st. Jabra plans to offer other colorways in the country by January next year.

It’s worth noting that while the Jabra Elite 75t didn’t launch with active noise cancellation support, Jabra released a firmware update earlier this year to bring the feature to the earbuds. The Elite 75t is currently available on Amazon for ₹10,999, which is ₹3,000 lower than its usual sale price of ₹13,999.

WebADB lets you run ADB right from your web browser

The Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a command-line tool that allows users to communicate with a device. With the tool, you can perform a number of actions, including installing and debugging apps, and also run commands.

Instead of installing ADB on your computer, XDA Forum Member SteelToe has released a new website (www.webadb.com) that allows users to perform all functionality provided by the tools right from your browser.

“No installation, no drivers, nothing,” SteelToe said. “All you need is a web browser that supports web USB such as Chrome or the new Microsoft Edge and you are good to go.”

The features of Web ADB include:

• APK installation
• Interactive shell
• Screen recording
• SCRCPY — Control your device from your browser
• Device information
• File manager
• Enabling ADB over WiFi

WebADB XDA Forum Thread

If you need help installing ADB on your machine, we have a guide for that. Otherwise, if you want a less involved experience, you can use the Web ADB portal. The website has a few instructions if you run into issues, including if you get an access denied error.

Keep in mind that you would still need to enable USB Debugging on your smartphone, which is located within Developer Settings, accessed through Settings > Tapping “About Phone” seven times.

ADB is a very versatile command-line tool, especially if you deal with Android smartphones a lot. While having the utility installed on your usual machine is recommended, there can be instances when you need just a few commands in a pinch. This is when tools like Web ADB come in. With the usual ADB commands, you can install apps, copy a file or directory from the device and to the device, set up port forwarding, and more. These commands by themselves may not appear to be accomplishing all that much, but depending on what restrictions your smartphone OEM may have placed, ADB can come in quite handy with these commands to turn things around the way you would like them to be on your device.

The latest version of Xiaomi’s custom Android skin – MIUI 12 – is finally here. The company has dropped the curtain yesterday, alongside the Mi 10 Youth Edition launch event in China. Compared to MIUI 11, the stable version of which was released less than six months ago, MIUI 12 brings in a slew of improvements, visual overhauls, and many new features. We have already extracted the new wallpapers, and now we are presenting the downloading links of the first set of MIUI 12 beta firmware packages for a bunch of Xiaomi and Redmi devices.

It is worth mentioning that these closed beta builds are meant for the Chinese variants, as Xiaomi suspended the rollout of MIUI global beta since last year. As a consequence, you have to flash these recovery ROMs using TWRP to bypass the MIUI beta account whitelisting. Do not expect Google Play Services or any pre-installed Google apps in them. Language options are likely limited to English and Chinese only, too. Xiaomi did launch MIUI 12 globally, and we are waiting for builds to appear for that too. Meanwhile, you can try out the closed betas from China.

The beta MIUI 12 builds listed below are based on either Android 10 or Android 11, depending on the device. If you are looking for MIUI 12 stable releases, you can find those here.

Download: MIUI 12

You can download the latest beta of MIUI 12 for your device from the links below. You can also visit our linked forums in case you need further assistance. While all of these download links are directly from Xiaomi, users are advised to proceed at their own risk. We warn you once again, this is not intended for the average consumer and is recommended only for users comfortable with flashing ROMs.

The POCO F2 Pro is getting its Android 11 update with MIUI 12

Last month, POCO opened up a beta program for the POCO F2 Pro, allowing early birds to try out MIUI 12 based on Android 11 before its final release. It looks like POCO has managed to iron out nasty bugs and instabilities from the user feedback as the company has started seeding the final software to those on the stable channel.

Multiple POCO F2 Pro users report that they have received the MIUI 12 Global Stable update on their phone. The Chinese variant received its stable update earlier this month, so it was expected that the global variant would follow suit shortly.

The MIUI 12 update, build number v12.2.1.0RJKMIXM, clocks in at 3.0GB in size and brings along September 2020 security patches. In terms of what’s new, users can look forward to all the new MIUI 12 goodies, including new system visuals and animations, enhanced privacy protection, Floating windows, a new Control Centre, AI Call assistant, and a whole lot more. Apart from MIUI 12-specific changes, POCO F2 Pro users will also benefit from a number of Android 11 improvements such as Chat Bubbles, smart device controls, one-time permissions for apps that request camera, mic, and location, wireless Android Auto support, and much more.

The stable MIUI 12 update has already started hitting POCO F2 Pro devices globally. Since this is a phased roll-out, it might take some time for the update to reach all devices. If you haven’t received the update notification yet, you can head to Settings > About Phone > MIUI version and click on the “CHECK FOR UPDATES” button to see if it’s available for your phone. If you want, you can also sideload the update by downloading it from the link below.

Motorola launches Moto G 5G with 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 750G in India

Motorola has been on a mission to recapture the mid-range segment in the Indian smartphone market. Since last year, they have launched many competitively priced devices in the country, including the Moto G8 Plus, Motorola One Fusion+, and the Moto G9. Now the focus is one building a 5G-ready portfolio and after launching the Motorola Edge+ and the Razr 5G earlier, the company is launching a 5G mid-ranger in India, even without the availability of a 5G network. Motorola has announced the Moto G 5G in India and this is the first smartphone to be powered by the Snapdragon 750G to be launched in this country.

The Moto G 5G comes 6.7-inch hole-punch LCD display with a Full HD+ resolution. The display has a refresh rate of 60Hz and is certified for HDR10. Inside the hole-punch cutout resides a 16MP selfie camera. On the back, the Moto G 5G features a triple camera setup in a square-shaped camera bump. These cameras include a primary 48MP camera with the Samsung ISOCELL GM1 sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide camera with a 118° wide field of view, and just like the One Macro — a 2MP macro camera with autofocus.

Unlike the global variant of the Moto G 5G that comes with 4GB RAM, the Indian variant features 6GB RAM. The storage, too, has been doubled from 64GB to 128GB especially for the Indian market. The phone packs in a 5000mAh battery with support for 20W fast charging.

Software-wise, the Moto G 5G comes with a stock Android user interface with Android 10 out-of-the-box. The phone has been promised to be upgraded to Android 11 soon but the company has not made any promise for updates beyond that. Even though the Moto G 5G is not part of Google’s Android One program — like some of older Motorola devices, it features a dedicated button for Google Assistant.

Price & Availability in India

The Moto G 5G will be available in India starting December 7th for ₹20,999 (~$285) via Flipkart. HDFC card users will be able to avail an instant discount of ₹1,000 with their purchase via Flipkart.

The OnePlus 8 Pro drops another $50 at Amazon, bringing the price down to $750!

Did you pick up the OnePlus 8 Pro when it was on sale on Amazon earlier this month for $800? $200 off the powerful OnePlus flagship seemed like an unbeatable deal, and it matched the Black Friday price for the 8 Pro at OnePlus’s own site. I thought it was a great enough discount that I didn’t expect it to go lower and even picked up the Ultramarine Blue phone for myself. Well, Amazon is rewarding those who waited with an additional $50 price drop on the device, bringing the total down to $750.

$250 off the OnePlus 8 Pro

Get yourself a solid flagship without breaking the bank. The black 256GB OnePlus 8 Pro is only $750 on Amazon! If you have the Prime Rewards card, you can also sign up for an 18-month, 0% APR payment plan.

Buy at Amazon

In XDA’s super in-depth comparison of the OnePlus 8 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S20+, the 8 Pro was able to stand toe-to-toe with the Samsung flagship, and in some cases, even surpass it. With a great display and camera, it’s hard to deny the value of the 8 Pro… and now that it’s on sale, it’s even better of a choice!

If you’re not fully convinced, maybe our OnePlus 8 Pro review will help. This is one of OnePlus’s flagships that really feels like a quality flagship, instead of feeling like you’re settling with a lower quality phone. And honestly, who wants to settle for less anyway?

All of this, the reviews and comparisons, are working off the assumption that you’ll be paying the full price for the phone. So when saving $250 on this device, it’s even better! Both the Onyx Black and Ultramarine Blue phones are in stock at Amazon, and this time around, I don’t see another price drop happening before Cyber Monday ends. This additional $50 price drop was shocking enough as is!

Looking for other phone deals this weekend? We have a round-up of all of the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday smartphone deals, just for you!
