[Update: Confirmed] It sure sounds like the OnePlus 8 Lite/OnePlus Z will be called the OnePlus Nord instead

Update 1 (06/30/2020 @ 08:32 AM ET): OnePlus has confirmed that the next smartphone from the company is the OnePlus Nord. Scroll to the bottom for more information. The article as published on June 24, 2020, is preserved below.

OnePlus burst onto the smartphone scene by making affordable phones with impressive specifications. However, as time has gone on, OnePlus devices have begun to creep up in price. We’ve been hearing about the company’s return to affordable phones with the rumored OnePlus Z/OnePlus 8 Lite. Evidence is starting to pile up to suggest the phone will actually be called “Nord.”

The Nord name was teased earlier this month by leaker Max J on Twitter. That sounded a bit strange to us because “Nord” sounds more like a codename than a final product name. However, new evidence seems to back up the idea that Nord is the actual name.

Earlier this week, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau tweeted the OnePlus logo in a new cyan blue color with the hashtag #NewBeginnings. Then an image featuring the same cyan blue color and the phrase “New Beginnings” was shared by Nils Ahrensmeier on Twitter. And to pull the whole thing together, OnePlus inadvertently leaked (and later removed) the Nord logo in a photo of an invitation on Instagram.

As you can see, the back of the invitation features the same “NORD” logo and the cyan blue color from the previous images. The original Instagram post was from the company’s “onepluslitezthing” account and it included photos celebrating the development of the phone. We can’t read the other text on the invitation, but it seems to suggest something special for the “first 100” buyers.

“Nord” is certainly a strange name and it’s interesting that OnePlus isn’t using a more traditional “Lite” naming scheme. A recent survey suggested that the specs of the device could include a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 SoC, 5G support, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, and triple cameras. However, we’d suggest taking those specs with a grain of salt since we haven’t been able to independently confirm them.

There’s still a lot to learn about this “Nord” device. Will it be called the OnePlus Nord? Will it be called “Nord by OnePlus”? The device is expected to launch in India and Europe in July so we’ll soon find out.

Update: OnePlus confirms the OnePlus Nord is the next mid-range device, to cost under $500

Through its Instagram page, OnePlus has confirmed that the next device from OnePlus is indeed the OnePlus Nord.

Further, the documentary posted on the Instagram page reveals a quick teaser image of the device, confirming its dual punch-hole selfie cameras.

From the above image, we can at least discern that the phone does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom, though it could have one at the top.

Further, in a press release, OnePlus has confirmed that the device will be available in Europe and India. A select number of users in North America will also get a chance to experience the new device through a “highly limited beta program” after its launch.

The documentary ends with the text, “Our journey continues, July 7th”.

Spotify rolls out real-time lyrics in 26 markets, including India

Spotify is easily among the most popular music streaming services in the world. Its apps for different platforms are continuously updated with new features. Back in March, the Spotify app for Android received a new homescreen UI along with a universal Shuffle button and a rejigged Action row. In the following month, Spotify started receiving the Follow Feed whereas a social listing feature was added in May. Now, Spotify is adding real-time lyrics that will be available in 26 markets across the globe.

Real-time lyrics on Spotify are powered by Musixmatch, a music player that automatically downloads lyrics for offline store music and displays them in real-time in the player UI as well as the lockscreen. Last year, the Swedish music streamer started testing the live lyrics feature in Canada, Indonesia, and Mexico.

Unlike Musixmatch, the real-time lyrics on Spotify can be spotted by scrolling down on the player UI – i.e. the same place where you usually find Behind the Lyrics or Storyline snippets which are powered by Genius. The feature also supports multiple languages and will display lyrics in the same language as the song.

Spotify has confirmed to TechCrunch that the feature goes live for the 26 markets starting 10 AM EST on June 30th. The list of markets where real-time lyrics will be available on Spotify includes Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Uruguay, and Vietnam. Interestingly, Canada has been left out from the release despite it being part of the beta testing group. Meanwhile, Spotify relies on another service provider to already offer lyrics in Japan.

Although competitor streaming service Apple Music got real-time lyrics last year with iOS 13, TechCrunch notes Spotify due to legal complexities related to the redistribution of lyrics. Lyrics are usually either sourced directly from the artist or transcribed by fans but the license to redistribute them is provided by the music label.

Spotify notes its global partnership with Musixmatch will offer the world’s largest repository of lyrics and translations to its users.

Download: MIUI 12 stable update rolling out to several Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices

MIUI 12 is the newest big release for Xiaomi smartphones, perhaps even bigger than an Android version jump. Features on Xiaomi devices are dictated more by their MIUI versions than the underlying Android version, so a MIUI version upgrade is an exciting event. The first batch of devices to receive the MIUI 12 stable update included the Xiaomi Mi 9, Redmi K20/Mi 9T, and Redmi K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro. As we reach the end of June 2020, Xiaomi’s first phase of MIUI 12 rollout is complete, as many more devices have been added since the initial rollout. This article will serve as the central repository of download links for all Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices that have received their official MIUI 12 stable updates. We’ll update it regularly with fresh builds!

MIUI 12: Features

MIUI 12 was announced in April 2020, following the footsteps of MIUI 11 that gained massive popularity thanks to Xiaomi’s hardware push as well as the feature abundance within the UX.

MIUI 12 Hands-on: 12 interesting new features added in Xiaomi’s Android OS

MIUI 12 brings along a cleaner UI, new animations, changes to navigation gestures, new live wallpapers and AOD designs, privacy indicators for microphone, camera, and location usage, improvements to multi-window and Picture-in-Picture, an in-built sleep tracker, and many more changes throughout the UX!

List of Devices that have received stable MIUI 12

This article covers devices that have received a stable MIUI 12 update in any region. If you are looking for closed betas, you can follow along our dedicated coverage here:

Download the MIUI 12 Closed Beta for Xiaomi and Redmi devices

Here are the devices that currently have a stable MIUI 12 build available. Note that the devices are sorted alphabetically for their codename.

1. Mi 9 (cepheus) — Added on 06/30/2020
2. Mi 10 Pro (cmi) — Added on 06/30/2020
3. Mi 9 Pro 5G (crux) — Added on 06/30/2020

9. Mi 10 (umi) — Added on 06/30/2020
10. Mi 10 Youth Edition / Mi Note 10 Lite Zoom (vangogh) — Added on 06/30/2020

Generic flashing instructions are available at the bottom of this article. However, we advise users to refer to the device forums for specific flashing instructions for their device, in case there are any variations or special instructions that need to be followed.

Another important point to note: Xiaomi follows only a thin distinction between “beta stable” update and “stable” updates. Beta stable updates are only intended for users enrolled within the Mi Pilot beta testing program, meaning that builds assigned for this group will not install on devices with Mi Accounts that do not have the requisite permission. Once the Mi Pilot beta testers give positive feedback, the same build then gets opened up as stable release, creating a lot of confusion — for instance, the same builds linked below first failed to install on my Redmi Note 7 Pro, but then appeared through the official OTA. If you get the error message that the update is for closed beta testers only, you can sideload the update through TWRP.

Flashing Instructions for MIUI 12

Note that these are generic flashing instructions that should generally be applicable across Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices. However, there is a possibility that there is a variation that is unique to your device, so we strongly advise visiting your device forums for device-specific instructions.

Recovery ROM Installation

Recovery ROMs come with a .zip file extension and can be installed either through the Local Update method from within MIUI, or through the Xiaomi stock recovery. You can also use a custom recovery like TWRP for installing these ROMs, though do note that device-specific instructions may differ in that case.

1. Local Update method:
   1. Transfer the download .zip file to your phone, and ensure you place the file in the “downloaded_rom” folder in the internal storage of your device. If no such folder exists, create one in your internal storage base directory.
   2. Within your phone, navigate to Settings > About Phone > System Update, and then press the three-dot icon in the top-right corner, and select “Choose Update Package”.
   3. If the “Choose Update Package” option is missing, tap on the MIUI logo 10 times to activate the option.
   4. Choose the downloaded .zip file.
   5. Wait for the update to install.
2. Recovery method:
   1. Rename the downloaded .zip file to update.zip and transfer it to the base directory of your phone’s internal storage.
   2. Reboot your phone into recovery mode by powering it off and then pressing both the Power and the Volume Up buttons together.
   3. Scroll to the “Install update.zip” option using the volume keys, and select the option using the power button.
   4. Wait for the update to install.
   5. Choose the “Reboot” option if your phone does not reboot by itself after installation is completed.

Fastboot ROM Installation

Fastboot ROMs come with a .tgz file extension and require a Windows computer for the installation, as well as a phone with an unlocked bootloader. However, despite being comparatively more complicated to install than Recovery ROMs, Fastboot ROMs are sometimes the only way to boot into a working system. For instructions on unlocking the bootloader of your phone, check your device’s subforums on XDA.

1. Download MiFlash Tool on your Windows computer. The latest version can be found in Step 1 of this link. Once downloaded, extract the tool and install it. It is also advisable to have ADB and Fastboot installed, just in case you need it.
2. Reboot your phone into Download mode by powering it off and then pressing both the Power and Volume Down buttons together.
3. Connect your phone to the computer using the appropriate USB cable.
4. Download the Fastboot ROM .tgz file and extract it. Remember the extract location, as you will need to paste the address into MiFlash Tool.
5. Run MiFlash Tool on your Windows Computer and in the address bar within the tool, paste the extract location from Step 4.
6. Click “Refresh” within MiFlash and the app should automatically recognize your device.
7. Click “Run” within MiFlash to flash the ROM file to the device.
8. The progress bar within MiFlash will turn green, which indicates that the ROM was successfully installed. Your device should boot automatically to the new version.

Alleged Moto G 5G (Motorola Edge Lite?) render reveals dual hole-punch cutout and quad cameras

For the last few years, Motorola had focussed on entry-level and mid-range smartphones, diversifying its product portfolio with the Moto E, Moto G, and the Motorola One series. It re-entered the premium segment last year with the rebirth of the Motorola Razr followed by the launch of the Edge and Edge+ 5G flagship devices in April this year. This month, we also received some information about a third premium 5G device – the Motorola Edge Lite – that may be coming to the U.S. on Verizon. Now, we have fresh information about the phone including a leaked digital render as well as hints about its possible naming Moto G 5G for markets outside the U.S.

Respectable leaker Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) recently made the renders of the upcoming Motorola smartphone available via their Patreon. They further mention the name Moto G 5G for the device with model number XT2075-3 which was recently certified by FCC and believed to be the Motorola Edge Lite by trusted tipster Ishan Agarwal (via Pricebaba).

Interestingly, when we ran the IMEIs listed in the FCC listing for this device through an IMEI database, they corresponded to a “Moto 5 5G Plus.” As we learned earlier, there are two different models of the said phone – XT2075-1 and XT2075-3 – and we believe that the former could be available in the U.S. on Verizon as the Motorola Edge Lite while the latter could be a global variant for markets such as Europe, Japan, Middle East, and LATAM as the Moto G 5G or Moto G 5G Plus. However, there is no definitive proof that confirms either of the names.

Coming back to the digital render shared by Evan Blass, it portrays a quad-camera arrangement on the back and dual hole-punch cameras on the front. The render also confirms the primary camera in this arrangement will utilize a 48MP Samsung GM1 sensor, as reported previously. Our earlier report also noted that the other three sensors will have resolutions of 16MP, 8MP, and 5MP. Meanwhile, the two cameras on the front are likely to include an 8MP primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor.

Furthermore, there is a volume rocker on the right side of the phone adjacent to the power button which also seems to feature the fingerprint scanner. On the other edge is another button, which is most likely a dedicated hotkey for Google Assistant.

Like Motorola Edge, the display is expected to measure 6.7-inches, have a resolution of 2520×1080, and a refresh rate of 90Hz. However, unlike the Edge series, the display will not be curved and the same has been confirmed by the render shared by @evleaks.
