If you want to buy a new Android tablet, you should take a look at Aldi. An all-in-one package is currently being sold there. This consists of a 10.1-inch Android tablet, a keyboard and a pen. But there are a few points that you should consider before buying. Aldi sells Android tablets with a pen and keyboard Aldi has been offering the Medion Lifetab Education P10912 at a price of 249 euros since September 30 (see the Aldi online shop). It is a 10.1-inch tablet with the Android 11 operating system. The performance should be okay with the octa-core processor, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. Why the Aldi tablet is being marketed as an "education" device, that is, as an educational tablet , is not entirely clear. It does come with a keyboard and stylus, but that doesn't automatically make it an educational device. This usually includes special software that isn't mentioned here. A special feature of the Aldi tablet is the LTE modem. This means that you ca

The first AOSP ROMs based on Android 12 have begun to appear and they have also done so for one of the Xiaomi devices that gave the most game at the time and that also already has more than two years on the market. We are talking about the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro or Redmi K20 Pro , a device still very present in the Xiaomi user community, which can already boast of having Android 12 , in addition to a fairly stable form. Android 12 in its purest form for the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro As we can see through XDA-Developers, this first Custom ROM reaches the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro in the purest form , that is, with the same interface that we could find in the Google Pixels with Android 12 installed. In order to install it, it is necessary to access the thread created in XDA-Developers and also have unlocked the bootloader of your Xiaomi . Likewise, it is necessary to have a custom bootloader, for example TWRP . And remember, before trying any Custom ROM like this one, it's a good idea to make a ba

Android smartphones are now so good that you don't really have to worry about anything and can just use the phone. But there is one function that you should perform every now and then to get the most out of the device. As it turns out, many do not even know this possibility. Android phones: clearing the cache can be worthwhile When was the last time you cleaned up your Android phone and freed it of unnecessary data? Most Android users shouldn't do this at all, as modern smartphones manage to clean up themselves quite well. Accordingly, the result of the colleagues from Android Authority was clear, in which 50 percent chose exactly this answer after a survey. Only a fifth said they cleaned their cell phones in the past week . With the rest, the gap was greater. Manual cleanup can have advantages. If an app or a game is not working properly, clearing the cache via the settings can be useful . All you have to do is switch to settings and apps. There you then sort by applica

Anyone who believes that the most expensive smartphones also deliver the highest performance is mistaken. A high-end smartphone that is only 600 euros cheap can look forward to the title of the fastest Android smartphone in the world. If you want, you can even optimize this smartphone. RedMagic 6S Pro is the fastest Android smartphone If you are looking for an Android smartphone that simply has a lot of power, you should take a look at the RedMagic 6S Pro. This high-end device costs only 599 euros, but it offers features that you sometimes cannot even get for twice as much money. This includes, for example, the 165 Hz display . The competition is currently stuck at 120 Hz. The brutal performance is made possible by the fact that the RedMagic 6S Pro has an active cooler installed, as you can see in the video: Other manufacturers passively cool their Android smartphones, which can be a problem, especially with high-end processors such as the Snapdragon 888. The devices then become no

Google finally released the final version of Android 12 for the Android Open Project on Monday after several months of developer previews and beta builds were published. While the update added a number of new features for the platform, Google also officially revealed the name of the dessert: Snow Cone. Dave Burke, Google's vice president of engineering for Android, confirmed the official dessert name for the latest version of Android on Monday. The move marks a significant turning point after Google abandoned the use of dessert names as brand names for every major version of Android with the introduction of Android 10 in 2019. Since then, each major version of the operating system has been named simply by its numerical order. However, subsequent versions of Android still had dessert-inspired names, but they were only used internally. Android 11, for example, was apparently called "Red Velvet Cake". However, this isn't the first time we've heard of Snow

This approach is also new. Google has completed Android 12, but the final update for Pixel smartphones has not been released. Normally the update should have been made available for download today. What's going on there? Android 12: Update is delayed I was actually looking forward to this day today. Not only is Windows 11 there and ready to be installed, Android 12 should also appear today according to the schedule. It does - at least in part. So far it has always been the case that Google publishes a final version of Android and offers it for download directly for its Pixel smartphones. Today Android 12 was released - but only in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) . The updates for Pixel smartphones should appear in a few weeks (source: Google). On the one hand, this approach is disappointing, because I cannot bring my Pixel 5 to the final state and finally get rid of the small bugs of the beta version, on the other hand, the manufacturers can now go into the final stage w

Android 12 was finally released today, but has not yet been released. Therefore, there is only the October 2021 security patch with another Android 11 update for the Pixel 3, Pixel 3a, Pixel 4, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5 and Pixel 5a. The security update from October 2021 with the patch level 2021-10-05 will be rolled out to the corresponding devices with immediate effect. The Pixel-specific update fixes some additional weaknesses in the kernel, in the Pixel software and in open and closed Qualcomm components. The latest security patch fixes a total of 10 vulnerabilities in the Android framework and the system components and a total of 41 vulnerabilities in the kernel and the manufacturers' components.

Android 12 is here! The final version has now been approved by Google. Google has just handed over the final version of Android 12 to AOSP. This means that the latest Android iteration is final. But we still have to wait for the rollout. The Pixel smartphones will not receive the update to Android 12 today. This emerges from a blog post from Google: "Look out for Android 12 coming to a device near you, starting with Pixel in the next few weeks and Samsung Galaxy, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Tecno, Vivo, and Xiaomi devices later this year." Pixel smartphones will be the first to receive the update, but according to Google in "the next few weeks". It is unclear why that is. Maybe it's because of other bugs that have yet to be fixed, or because more third-party devices are coming out with Android 12 at the same time. All pixels from Pixel 3 onwards get the update, the new Pixel 6 models then come with Android 12 out-of-the-box. What's new in Android 12?

Before you look for an app with which you can convert speech into text, you should first check what you already have on your iPhone or Android phone. Actually, both are able to do so without having to install or buy anything. Incidentally, in Windows you can also convert speech into text and, for example, dictate e-mails: Android: Automatic transcription The Google app "Automatic Transcription" is now part of the operating system, but can also be installed later. It offers excellent speech recognition and the simultaneous conversion of speech into text. The app, which was developed in collaboration with Gallaudet University, which specializes in deaf and hard-of-hearing students, supports over 80 different languages. In addition to voice recognition, the app also offers a sound notification, which is primarily aimed at deaf people: If certain noises are heard in the surroundings, but you cannot hear them yourself or can only hear them poorly , the mobile phone "goes

What can we expect after Android 12? First looks are already directed towards the next update to the mobile operating system. With Android 12.1, Google will no longer focus solely on conventional smartphones. Instead, the focus is on folding cell phones. Android 12.1: Google focuses on folding phones It won't be long before Google officially introduces and releases Android 12. After the pre-release versions, we can already draw a fairly accurate picture of what has changed compared to Android 11. Now the first glimpses are already directed towards the future. Even before Android 13 in 2022, an intermediate version should apparently provide new functions . If the experts from XDA Developers have their way, then Google will focus primarily on larger foldable cell phones with Android 12.1. A few improvements can be expected here with Android 12, but the next Android version will not be in full swing. A new taskbar will be introduced with Android 12.1, which will simplify multit

Monday is the first day of the month again. And classically also the day on which Google distributes its pixel updates to the users. But this Monday it could be different, because maybe the final version of Android 12 will finally be distributed there? Google itself has not officially commented on it - and has never done so in the past. Because you simply roll out the new version of the mobile operating system, almost as a surprise for the user. So Monday would be perfect for the rollout. Because the development has now been completed, the last Beta 5 of the new Android iteration was rolled out almost 1 month ago. The previous Android 12 timeline looked like this: Android 12 DP1 | February 18, 2021 Android 12 DP2 | March 17, 2021 Android 12 DP3 | April 21, 2021 Android 12 Beta 1 | May 18, 2021 Android 12 Beta 2 | June 9, 2021 Android 12 Beta 3 | July 14, 2021 Android 12 Beta 4 | August 11, 2021 Android 12 Beta 5 | September 8, 2021 If we don't see Android 12 in it

According to a new report from Zimperian Labs, a malicious Trojan horse that researchers called "GriftHorse" was used in a mobile campaign that the report said was classified as "aggressive". More than 10 million Android users from over 70 countries fell victim to a scam that subscribed to innocent-looking apps that, without their knowledge, billed them around $ 42 a month. More than 200 apps from categories such as tools, entertainment, dating and more were involved in the scam. This created a widely ramified network that made it easier to catch the victims. One particular app, Handy Translator Pro, has been installed over 500,000 times. The scam goes back to November 2020. The ripped off Android users lived in different countries like Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. In their report, Zimperium researchers Aazim Yaswant and Nipun Gupta write: "While typical

For a 5G mobile phone as light as a feather and also with a particularly fluid display: Sharp has presented the new Android mobile phone Aquos Zero 6 in Japan. The refresh rate is a full 240 Hertz - because Sharp has come up with a trick. Sharp Aquos Zero 6 presented with 240 Hertz Sharp has presented an unusual smartphone that aims to stand out from the competition in several areas. The focus is clearly on the display, which is equipped with a refresh rate of 240 Hertz. This should enable particularly smoother scrolling . But that's not the whole truth, because it actually remains at 120 Hertz, which is also worth seeing. The manufacturer relies on a little trick, because in addition to the 120 frames per second, there are also 120 black frames . These are not visible to the human eye, but are intended to ensure even smoother movements. The OLED display itself has a diagonal of 6.4 inches and has a resolution of 2,340 x 1,080 pixels. Although the Aquos Zero 6 is a 5G smartph

Android is now officially a teenager. Because the first Android smartphone was announced 13 years ago today. And a lot has happened since then. Manufactured by HTC, which is not doing really well these days, the device paved the way for Android to take off in the mobile world. The T-Mobile G1, also known as the HTC Dream, had specifications that may have been acceptable in 2008, but haven't aged like good wine. The phone was powered by Qualcomm's MSM7201A SoC, with a single ARM11 core that ran at a whopping 528 MHz alongside an Adreno 130 GPU. It also had 192 MB of RAM and only 256 MB of internal storage (which could be expanded with a microSD card), 3G and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, Wi-Fi support, a mini-USB charging port (not micro-USB ) and no headphone jack. And it also had a QWERTY keyboard! With a thickness of 17.1 mm and a weight of 158 grams, it is a real hunk despite its (by today's standards) tiny 3.2-inch TFT display with 320 x 480 pixels. The technica
