TWRP adds support for the Sony Xperia 10/10 Plus

The Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is the most popular custom recovery out there, and for good reason. It offers the best blend of functionality, and it remains easy-to-use. It also has a fairly pleasing user interface. Official TWRP support has recently been added for the Xiaomi Mi A3, Redmi Note 8 Pro, ASUS ROG Phone II, Realme X2, Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite, Nokia 7.1, Snapdragon Motorola Moto E4, and the Xiaomi Redmi 8. Now, official support has been added for the Sony Xperia 10 and Sony Xperia 10 Plus.

The Sony Xperia 10 and the Xperia 10 Plus (review) are two mid-range phones that were launched at MWC 2019. The Xperia 10 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 SoC, while the Xperia 10 Plus steps up to the Snapdragon 636 SoC. Both phones have 21:9 aspect ratio displays. The Xperia 10 has a 6-inch FHD+ LCD, while the Xperia 10 Plus has a 6.5-inch FHD+ LCD. The Xperia 10 has 3GB of RAM, while the Xperia 10 Plus steps up to 4GB. Both phones have 64GB of internal storage along with a microSD card slot.

The Xperia 10 (codename: kirin) has a 13MP primary camera along with a 5MP depth sensor, whereas the Xperia 10 Plus (codename: mermaid) has a 12MP primary camera and an 8MP optical zoom/bokeh secondary camera. Both phones have 8MP front cameras. The Xperia 10 and the Xperia 10 Plus feature 2,870mAh and 3,000mAh batteries respectively with support for USB-PD fast charging. They were launched with Android 9 Pie, and Sony has promised an Android 10 update sometime in early 2020.

Readers can check out the TWRP installation instructions for both phones and download the recovery via the source links. TWRP needs to be temporarily booted via fastboot on these phones, and it needs to be flashed via the ramdisk method. As always, flashing TWRP requires an unlocked bootloader.

[Update 2: Another Look] OPPO teases its smartwatch with a square design

Update 2 (02/26/2020 @ 06:40 AM ET): We now have another look at the upcoming OPPO smartwatch.

Update 1 (02/18/2020 @ 10:50 AM ET): OPPO’s Brian Shen has shared another image of the upcoming OPPO Watch.

At last year’s OPPO Inno Day event in China, the company confirmed that it will be launching a variety of new products in Q1 2020. The company revealed that following the launch of the Reno3 and Reno3 Pro 5G, it will be bringing a new smartwatch, smart wireless headphones, a 5G hub, and AR glasses to the market. At the time, OPPO had been teasing a new smartwatch for a while and the company’s VP, Head of Research, Levin Liu, also confirmed that the upcoming OPPO smartwatch will be unveiled in Q1 2020. As expected, OPPO has now released the first teaser of the upcoming smartwatch which showcases its Apple-watch like square design.

The teaser in question was recently shared by OPPO’s VP Shen Yiren on Weibo, who now goes by the name ‘Confident eyebrows’ on the platform. The image showcases a square smartwatch with rounded corners and a slightly curved display. The watch has a gold-colored case with two buttons on the right edge and a cream-colored watchstrap. The design is undeniably inspired by the Apple Watch, much like the Xiaomi Mi Watch from last year, to the point that even the wallpaper in the teaser looks like something straight from the Apple’s collection.

As of now, OPPO has released no technical information about the upcoming smartwatch. However, the company did talk about having the “technological know-how” to enable eSIM support at the Inno Day event, which leads us to believe that the smartwatch will most likely feature eSIM support.

Update: New Image

Here’s another look at the forthcoming OPPO Watch. The curved screen and 3D glass will be a game changer. pic.twitter.com/ozbl9BXNZq

— Brian Shen (@BrianShenYiRen) February 17, 2020

The last teaser of the OPPO Watch showed off the square display with curved edges, two side buttons, gold finish, and the overall Apple Watch-like design. Today, Brian Shen has shared a new image of the watch, this time focusing on the curved screen and 3D glass. In the tweet, he claims it will be a “game-changer.” Looking beyond the marketing-speak, however, there doesn’t appear to be anything unique about this design. The new image also appears to show a leather watchband, compared to the previous image that featured a silicone band. It’s hard to tell from the image, but this one looks to be silver.

Update 2: Another look at the upcoming OPPO smartwatch

Another render of the OPPO smartwatch was leaked, further highlighting its screen curve, Apple Watch-like design and software.

The Settings UI does not look like Android Wear OS, so it is possible that this could be a custom OS. However, the leaker does mention that the watch runs on “Android system, not a large bracelet” (rough translation), which implies that it is indeed an Android-based smartwatch and not just a smart fitness tracker.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 series are the first smartphones with USB Fast Charger certification

Just a few days ago, Samsung officially unveiled its Galaxy S20 series at the Galaxy Unpacked event. As expected, the company launched three devices as part of this year’s flagship lineup, including the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and Galaxy S20 Ultra. All three devices are powered by either Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 SoC or Samsung’s own Exynos 990 chipset, they feature the latest LPDDR5 RAM, and compared to last year’s flagships, they also include significantly larger batteries. The Galaxy S20 packs in a respectable 4,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging, the S20+ has a 4,500mAh battery with the same fast charging support and the S20 Ultra packs in a massive 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging support. While these numbers may not seem all that impressive compared to other smartphones in the market, they’re definitely a major improvement for Samsung. But that’s not all that Samsung has improved in the Galaxy S20 series when it comes to charging.

As per a recent report from Business Wire, the Samsung Galaxy S20 series are the first smartphones to receive certification based on USB Power Delivery (USB PD) 3.0 specification with the Programmable Power Supply (PPS) feature. Information about the certification was released by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) today, which is the support organization for the advancement and adoption of USB technology. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the USB PD 3.0 and PPS standards, the certification basically means that all three devices in the Galaxy S20 series will work flawlessly with third-party fast chargers as long as the chargers are also similarly certified. In effect, the Galaxy S20 and 20+ will work with certified chargers with a 25W output, while the Galaxy S20 Ultra will work with certified chargers with a 45W output.

The 45W is only enabled from 0% to 30%, after that it goes down to 25W. It’s basically useless.

— Max Weinbach (@MaxWinebach) February 25, 2020

Interestingly, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus (review) from last year also supported USB PD 3.0 and PPS, but it didn’t receive official certification from the USB-IF. It’s also worth noting that despite the certification several reviewers, including our own Max Weinbach, have reported that the Galaxy S20 Ultra doesn’t seem to charge that fast, even with Samsung’s first-party 45W USB PD PPD certified charger.

[Update: Resolution] OPPO VP confirms the Find X2 will have a 120Hz display but warns the phone may face production issues

Update 1 (02/26/2020 @ 06:15 AM ET): OPPO has confirmed the “3K” resolution of the Find X2, clearing the air over this specification. Scroll to the bottom for more information. The article as published on February 10, 2020, is preserved as below.

We have been hearing about OPPO’s next flagship, the Find X2, for some time now. Last month, the device passed through Thailand’s NBTC certification website while a leak from Ice Universe shed light on some of the possible specifications of the device. In the most recent round of leaks, live images and screenshots of the OPPO Find X2 were leaked on Weibo which gave us our first look at the design of the device and also revealed some of the display features.

Now OPPO VP Brian Shen has taken to Twitter to reveal the resolution, screen refresh rate, and other display properties of the OPPO Find X2. According to Shen, the OPPO Find X2 will feature a QHD+ display with a screen refresh rate of 120Hz. Moreover, the display will be capable of reaching 1200 nits of brightness in HDR‌ mode and will also support upscaling SDR‌ content to HDR.

This is my kind of ‘Flagship’

120Hz Refresh rate
2k Resolution
240Hz Sampling
SDR to HDR conversion
HDR up to 1200nits brightness
100% DCI-P3

— Brian Shen (@BrianShenYiRen) February 9, 2020

Although the tweet didn’t mention other specifications of the device, we do know that the device will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC, will feature Sony’s new image sensor, and will support 65W SuperVOOC fast charging.

But OPPO may not be able to produce enough units to meet the initial demand. In a separate post on Weibo, Mr. Shen warned that the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak will likely impact the production capacity of the OPPO Find X2 as the factories and manufacturing plants in Hubei and other Chinese provinces are still under lockdown. How severe the impact will be, we don’t know yet but this could mean the international release may get delayed.

We expect to learn more about the OPPO Find X2 including its full specifications, pricing and international availability at OPPO’s MWC 2020 press conference which is still scheduled to take place on Feb 23.

Update: OPPO Find X2 to sport 120HZ 3K resolution display

OPPO has clarified the device resolution on the OPPO Find X2. The phone has now been officially and explicitly confirmed to come with a 120Hz refresh rate 3K resolution (3168 * 1440) display with a touch sampling rate of 240Hz.

This would give the phone a high pixel density of 513 ppi. Coupled with the high refresh rate and touch sampling rate, the Find X2 has its display as one of its strong points that the competition may not be able to match.
