T-Mobile HTC One Android 4.3 update rolling out
Oct 21st 2013, 16:09, by Robert Nelson

Coming after a small delay last week, Android 4.3 has begun rolling out for HTC One users with T-Mobile. We are seeing reports coming from various users across the US and if you happen to be carrying a T-Mobile branded One — you can grab the update now be heading into the settings. T-Mobile has already updated the support page for the HTC One and it looks like this one will be WiFi only.

Of course, aside from T-Mobile limiting this to WiFi, it would have likely been the preferred method given the size. This update measures in at roughly 560MB in size. Otherwise, this update will have your T-Mobile HTC One going to Android 4.3 and arriving as software version 3.24.531.3. Once updated you will also have Sense 5, which brings BlinkFeed improvements such as navigation and Instagram.

Aside from BlinkFeed, the remainder of the update touches on the camera and battery life as well as the notification bar and quick settings. Though a bit generic in the descriptions, the changelog breaks down as follows;

  • Notification bar and quick settings
  • Battery life
  • Camera AE/AF lock
  • HTC BlinkFeed – Navigation and Instagram
  • HTC Video highlights

Otherwise, the usual T-Mobile update suggestions are in place. Basically, they recommend you are either plugged in or have more than 50 percent battery life and there is also mention that your device cannot currently be rooted. With T-Mobile users getting the update today, it looks like Verizon Wireless users are left on their own. Assuming the timeline holds, Big Red users should have the update before the end of October.

OPPO N1 international rollout getting underway
Oct 21st 2013, 15:12, by Robert Nelson

Following a series of rumors and teasers, OPPO unveiled the N1 smartphone back in late-September. At the time the handset was announced for China with the promise of additional markets later in the year. There was mention of the global rollout beginning in December, however the specifics remained a mystery. Well, it looks like the global rollout is beginning.

OPPO has announced the N1 for those in Indonesia. The handset should be available for purchase soon and it was announced with a price point of 6.999 million Indonesian rupiah. While market to market translations are not always equal when it comes to smartphones, that translates to about 3,765 yuan. Or in other words, this means the OPPO N1 is a bit more expensive in Indonesia.

Otherwise, we are looking at a handset that has the same specs as what we saw announced earlier. This Indonesian announcement tipped the handset as running Color OS, which is a customized build of Android 4.2. Aside from the software, the handset will have a 5.9-inch 1080p display with a ppi of 377. There will also be options for 16GB or 32GB of internal storage along with 2GB of RAM and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor.

Some of the other perks of the N1 include the camera as well as the rear touch panel and remote. The N1 has a 13 megapixel camera that rotates 206 degrees, which allows it to serve as the front and rear-facing. The touch panel is called the O-Touch Panel and it measures in as a 12cm panel that allows for tapping, scrolling and more.

While we are still expecting the N1 to arrive in additional markets, OPPO recently announced a “Pioneer Program” that will allow a lucky few users to get hands-on a bit ahead of the general release. The catch though, the program is limited to a select few and you will need to not only apply and get accepted, but share some thoughts after the handset arrives.
