This is largely down to the quirky software that often is at odds with common sense. Oppo clearly went to a lot of trouble to change Android so far from what Google Considers stock, and it suffers greatly for it....

The Buffer is a new column about the latest industry news in the world of streaming services for film and television. From Netflix to HBO Max, entertainment specialist Hannah Cowton (me!) is here to delve deep into the biggest scoops in the streaming wars. On the surface, Paramount Plus is yet another streaming service joining an already saturated market with no new original exclusives to its name. However, the platform is taking a slightly new approach, with a focus on access to live TV, news and sports – something that even big players like Netflix and Disney Plus don’t offer....

The lack of a video display won’t appeal to everyone, though.

At its Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii, Qualcomm confirmed that every phone or device that ships with a Snapdragon 865 chip will be 5G capable, despite the chip itself not having an integrated 5G modem. No matter – the 865 will only be sold to device manufacturers with 5G compatibility, meaning any phone with it will be able to connect to a 5G mobile network. This is big news for the mobile industry as we approach 2020....

Component giant Qualcomm has unveiled its latest 5G modem, the Snapdragon X60, which you can expect to power 5G phones and other devices from next year.

You won’t see the X60 in the Galaxy S20 or any of the new 5G handsets announced over the next few weeks amid the detritus of a cancelled MWC – while 5G is about to become ubiquitous, it’s all through phones using the Snapdragon 865 chipset and 2nd-gen X55 modem Qualcomm announced last year....
