Chinese regulators appear to verify alleged Lenovo Vibe P2’s rumored specs

alleged vibe p2

The suspect still hasn't been fromally ID'd, but a handset rumored to be the Lenovo Vibe P2 was just patted down by regulators in China, and it appears to be carrying a robust 5,000 mAh battery.

TENAA might have even confirmed the name of the phone when the Chinese regulatory agency posted specs and a codename "P2c72" for a device we last saw creeping through Geekbench in late July.

The translated listing indicates that the suspected Lenovo Vibe P2 will include a 5.5-inch display with a full HD resolution. It'll come with a card slot to add more space to the phone, which comes in 32GB and 64GB versions.

The P2 will sport a 13 MP primary and 5 MP secondary camera. The TENAA listing indicates that the phone will have an eight-core processor, though the Geekbench profile went a little further and reported that the P2 will employ a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625.

The 5,000 mAh battery isn't new to the Vibe series, as the Vibe P1 and P1 Turbo were both fueled by cells of the same capacity. However the battery, along with the phone's curious codename, adds more weight to suspicions fingering this suspect as the Vibe P2.

So what's your take? Have you come to a verdict on whether or not this suspect is indeed the Vibe P2? Let us know your decision in the comments!

Snapseed 2.9 update adds new editing tools and RAW support for iOS

Snapseed teaser

It wasn't too long ago that Google's own photo editing app, Snapseed, saw a revision that added welcomed text customization and image resizing features. The software still isn't the most robust mobile image editor, but we can't deny that Snapseed's nifty interface and ease of use is pleasurable for light tweaks. Developers aren't done expanding the app's capabilities, and today, we have another incremental update to version 2.9.

A handful of enhancements are added. A brand new Face tool lets the user close in on faces and enrich the quality of skin or eyes. Another new one, called Perspective, can straighten lines to correct for perspective effect in the original image. And White Balance gives fine color balance adjustment using an eye dropper tool. You'll also now be able to set a JPG compression rate preference and save lossless (PNG) when exporting.

One other highlight in the revision is full support for the RAW format on iOS. Mind you, the Android version of Snapseed has had this support since last year; that would naturally be the case. So if you have an iOS device and are a Snapseed user, you'll now be able to bring your RAW files in (which the app detects automatically) and utilize tools like Details, Brush, Healing, HDR, Text, and the many others in the toolset. RAW tweaks include Structure, Tint, Shadow, Exposure (-4.0 to 4.0 f-stops), and Temperature (1.700°K to over 8.000°K).

The 2.9 update of course also takes care of a few UI improvements and bug fixes. How do you feel about Snapseed's progress? Do you use it as your go-to photo editing app?

Justice Monsters V is a Final Fantasy pinball game

Justice-Monsters-V-Android-Game

With little ado and small fanfair, Square Enix has launched a new pinball game into the Google Play Store: Justice Monsters V. Unlike most of the developer's offerings, this is by no means a fantasy RPG. Instead you'll find all the rocketing gizmo action of classic arcade staples that have kept players plugging quarters into machines for decades.

If you're not intimately familiar with the series, then you might be wondering what the hell Justice Monsters Five has to do with Square Enix's biggest intellectual property, the final Fantasy Series. Well, in Final Fantasy XV, Justice Monsters is a mini-game couched inside the normal questing, giving players a break from the high drama of the story proper.

Square Enix has effectively ported this mini game over to the mobile platform, letting you rock your pinball wizarding skills on the go. The company seems incapable of shaking their RPG roots, so although this game has you hitting pedals to keep a silver ball in play, you'll still be recruiting monsters and leveling up to keep gameplay interesting.

Justice Monsters V is free to play but contains in-app purchases. Click the button below to head over to the Google Play Store and give it a whirl for yourself. Then head back over here and let us know what you think of it in the comments!

Nest developers conscripted to work on Google Home

do_button_example_nest@2x

Previous reports indicated that Google was moving all of the developers at its Nest subsidiary and assigning them to work on a unified platform for the Internet of Things, according to Fortune. However, we're now seeing that Nest won't be gutted quite as dramatically as that early report claimed. Only some of the development team will be transitioning to work for Google Home, so Nest isn't down and out yet.

The reassigned Nest developers will work on Google Home under Google's senior vice president for Android, Hiroshi Lockheimer. Although some have been making jabs about an empty Nest, it would seem that a number of developers will stay on at the smart home company that Google bought for $3.2 billion two years ago. It's unclear how many developers will leave nest or how many will be staying behind.

That unified IoT platform Google is allegedly working on would be a major shift in the company's smart home strategy, which was recently set into silos with the introduction of Google Home and Brillo. Nest has its own IoT platform, "Works with Nest," which doesn't play nice with Brillo.

Unifying software would help strengthen Nest's spot in the fold of Google parent company Alphabet. While Nest has been performing well for a company that's still very much a startup, there have been murmurs indicating its Alphabet bosses expect more from it.

That unified IoT platform Google is allegedly working on would be a major shift in the company's smart home strategy.

A couple months ago, Nest's "shortcomings" were played up and then down when the company swapped its CEO for a guy how was famously tasked with overseeing the sale of Motorola Home. That guy, Marwan Fawaz, dismissed fears that he was prepping the company for a sale.

What are your thoughts regarding this shuffling of Nest staff within Alphabet? Is the the company putting its chips on Google Home instead of Nest? Let us know your interpretation of these events in the comments below!
