[Update: Nokia 9 PureView too] Android 10 internal beta leaks for the Nokia 6.1, 6.1 Plus, 7 Plus, and 7.1

Update (11/05/19 @ 7:20 AM ET): Android 10 internal beta has also leaked for the Nokia 9 PureView. Scroll to the bottom for more information. The article as published on October 14, 2019, is preserved as below.

Following the recent rollout of Android 10 on the Nokia 8.1, HMD Global is now prepping up to release the update for other devices in its lineup. The company had previously shared the Android 10 update roadmap for its devices, with the Nokia 7.1 set to receive the update in Q4 2019. Now, leaked beta builds suggest that updates for the Nokia 6.1, Nokia 6.1 Plus, and Nokia 7 Plus are also on their way.

XDA Senior Member hikari_calyx recently shared the leaked beta builds of all the four devices, along with detailed instructions on how you can flash them on your phone. Since these are internal beta builds, it’s safe to assume that you might encounter some unforeseen bugs if you choose to flash them on your phone. It’s also worth noting that you’ll need an unlocked bootloader to flash these builds. In case you do not have an unlocked bootloader, you will face issues while rolling back to the stable channel in the future.

Android 10 on Nokia devices introduces a couple of new features for users. A changelog issued for the Nokia 8.1 reveals that the update includes new gesture navigations, a smart reply feature, in-depth privacy controls, and more. Phones with the new update will also receive a new Focus mode which will block out distracting apps to help you focus on what’s important. Additionally, Nokia has added the Family link feature within Google’s Digital Wellbeing to help parents set digital ground rules for the family. Other than the Focus mode, all of the new features are available in the latest stable update for the Nokia 8.1.

As of now, we aren’t sure when the Android 10 builds will reach the open beta channel. The update roadmap shared earlier suggests that the Nokia 6.1, Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 7 Plus will receive stable updates in Q1 2020. However, considering the fact that their beta builds have already reached internal testing, it’s quite possible that the company might release the stable builds earlier than expected.

[Update: Available for the V50 ThinQ] LG launches an Android 10 preview for the G8 ThinQ

Update (11/05/19 @ 7:00 AM ET): After the G8 ThinQ, LG has now launched an Android 10 preview for the V50 ThinQ. Scroll to the bottom for more information. The article as published on October 16, 2019, is preserved as below.

Early last month, Google finally released the stable version Android 10 for its Pixel devices. Essential followed suit and released the update for its own Essential Phone PH-1. Soon thereafter, OnePlus also released OxygenOS 10 based on Android 10 for the OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 7 Pro. However, most other manufacturers weren’t as prompt and just managed to released beta versions of their software for a handful of devices. A few Xiaomi devices received closed beta updates for MIUI 11 based on Android 10, Huawei started beta signups for the P30 and P30 Pro and, most recently, Samsung announced the One UI 2.0 beta for the Galaxy S10 series. Now, Korean manufacturer LG has also joined the ranks and has launched the Android 10 preview for its flagship LG G8 ThinQ.

The preview will allow LG G8 ThinQ users to experience Android 10 on their devices before it’s finally released in the stable channel. It includes all of the new features Google introduced in Android 10, like the new navigation gestures, a system-wide dark mode, and more. LG is also working on its own UI updates for the Android 10 version of its ROM which will include menu tabs and pop-ups at the bottom of the screen for easier access, a simple and intuitive card type menu, etc. This new UI was first tested with the LG V50S ThinQ in Korea earlier this month and the company plans to bring it to the LG V50 ThinQ next month.

If you wish to try out the update, you can register from within the Quick Help app that ships with LG smartphones and you should receive an OTA update. The company has urged users to provide feedback through the Quick Help app’s bulletin board and it has promised to utilize the feedback to improve its software in time for the stable rollout scheduled for later this year. As of now, the company hasn’t revealed an update timeline for other devices in its portfolio, however, it has mentioned that devices in the LG Q series and LG X series lineup will also be updated within the year.

Live Transcribe 2.1 prepares to add Emergency siren detection, Smart Segments, and Speaker ID

Earlier this year at Google I/O, the company introduced two new apps for Android to help people with hearing disabilities — Live Transcribe and Sound Amplifier. While both the apps were originally geared towards the hearing impaired, Google later updated the Live Transcribe app to help students and journalists as well. Following the update, the app allowed users to save transcriptions locally on their device and it even got the ability to detect sound events during the transcription. Now, Google seems to be prepping up the app to introduce three more features.

An APK teardown can often predict features that may arrive in a future update of an application, but it is possible that any of the features we mention here may not make it in a future release. This is because these features are currently unimplemented in the live build and may be pulled at any time by the developers in a future build.

A teardown of the latest update for Live Transcribe (version 2.1.276871059) reveals strings of code that hint at upcoming features, including Show Emergency Sirens, Smart Segment, and Speaker ID. The Show Emergency Sirens feature will allow the app to identify emergency sirens and alert users of the same. The strings also include a dialog for the feature that states, “Please exercise caution when sirens are reported. Remember that not all sirens require action or indicate a relevant emergency (sirens on TV, for example). Furthermore, our siren detection will occasionally make mistakes.”

<string name="show_emergency_siren_dialog_message">Please exercise caution when sirens are reported. Remember that not all sirens require action or indicate a relevant emergency (sirens on TV, for example). Furthermore, our siren detection will occasionally make mistakes.</string>
    <string name="show_emergency_siren_title">Show Emergency Sirens</string>
    <string name="smart_segment">Smart segment</string>
    <string name="smart_segment_summary">Segment transcript based on performance (rather than text length)</string>
    <string name="speaker_id_title">Enable speaker ID</string>

The Smart Segment feature will divide transcripts based on performance, instead of text length, and the Speaker ID feature will help the app identify and label the speakers in an ongoing conversation. Our Editor-in-Chief, Mishaal Rahman, also took a look at the Live Transcribe GitHub repository which contains the Android client libraries used to communicate with Google’s Cloud Speech API and found that the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) module has support for built-in speaker identification. However, the speaker ID implementation isn’t provided and it doesn’t look like the app currently has it, but that could change in the near future.

[Update: Support added for Galaxy S10] PlayGalaxy Link is now available on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10

Update (11/05/19 @ 6:25 AM ET): The Samsung PlayGalaxy Link app is now available for the Galaxy S10 series too. Scroll to the bottom for more information. The article as published on September 11, 2019, is preserved as below.

During the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 launch, there was one feature that flew under the radar because of how packed the event was: PlayGalaxy Link. This feature lets you stream games from your computer to your phone. It’s a really great service, especially as we head into the era of 5G connectivity when apps need a lot of bandwidth and low latency.

PlayGalaxy Link Website || Parsec Game Streaming Website

PlayGalaxy Link is based off a service called Parsec. Samsung worked with Parsec to brand their technology into a Samsung exclusive. PlayGalaxy Link will connect to your Samsung account on both the phone and computer. It will find all the games installed on your computer and list them. You can then select which game you want to play on your phone using the PlayGalaxy Link app. The games will run over 4G, 5G, or Wi-Fi connectivity. This is different than Steam Link which requires you to be on the same wireless network.

Samsung PlayGalaxy Link is only available on the Galaxy Note 10 series of phones right now, but it will likely be released for older devices in the coming months. If you want to use what is essentially the same app but on any smartphone, you can try Parsec instead. Back in November of last year, I made a video on this service. In the video, I showed you how to set it up with your gaming PC and stream to any phone. You can even rent out a cloud PC from one of a few providers if you don’t have a gaming PC to stream from.

Both of these services are actually really great for gamers. You can play PC quality games while you’re on your phone. They’re not hard to use either; they’re essentially plug-and-play.

Update: PlayGalaxy Link available for the Samsung Galaxy S10 series

PlayGalaxy Link has been updated v1.0.5 Beta with support for all the phones in the Samsung Galaxy S10 series, namely the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, Galaxy S10e, and Galaxy S10 5G.
