[Android] Android7.1.2 roll out to the Pixel C with new launcher and more

Android 7.1.2 is a surprisingly big update for the Pixel C. The Pixel Launcher makes its way to tablets, while the multitasking menu is now optimized for larger screen sizes. Several owners of the device are now reporting that the latest version of Android is beginning to widely roll out…

The second public beta of 7.1.2 was released earlier this month to devices enrolled in the Android Beta Program. Yesterday, users who are not in the program noticed that a 340.1MB system update was available for install.

Google has yet to officially highlight the new features, but the Pixel C tablet gains some changes that first debuted on phones. The Pixel Launcher replaces the Google Now launcher and adds a swipe-up app drawer and weather/date widget in the top right corner. Additionally, the navigation buttons now match the white style on phones.

However, the most noticeable feature is a multitasking menu that takes better advantage of the larger screen. Apps are now displayed in a grid rather than as large cards you scroll through one at a time. Unfortunately, only the last eight apps are available with no ability to access older ones.

Users also note that the update is on the April security patch. This Saturday release is especially odd as it has yet to roll out to any other Pixel or Nexus device. With the security patch expected on Monday, it’s more likely than 7.1.2 will be released for those devices then.

You can check to see if 7.1.2 is available for your Pixel C by going to the Settings menu and checking for a system update.

[ TechLeaks ] Korean media: Galaxy Note 8 to launch on August 26 in New York as report says

The Korea Herald and the news portal Naver said today purporting to reveal the release date of Samsung’s Next Big Thing. According to the Korea Herald , Samsung is planning to introduce the Galaxy Note 8 “in the third or fourth week of August.” Like the Note 7 before it, the new S Pen device will reportedly make its debut in New York. Citing an unnamed Samsung official, Naver ventures a specific date: August 26, give or take a couple of days. Samsung initially planned to launch the new Note at IFA in the first week of September, according to the Korea Herald . The impending arrival of rival devices from LG and especially Apple might have prompted Samsung to bring up the big release. For reference, the Note 7 was announced on August 2 last year. Reports that surfaced after the phone was recalled due to faulty batteries suggested Samsung rushed the device to market in order to outshine Apple. Almost every flagship release from Samsung from the last few years has been preced...

[ Phone Launch ] Galaxy Note 8 makes its debut in India

Just a few short weeks after its global unveil, Samsung is launching the Galaxy Note 8 in India. The Galaxy S8 series was very well-received in the country, and there's a healthy interest in the Galaxy Note line as well.
