Opera's No log VPN is coming to Android..

After Opera's VPN powered PC browser became success, the company now announced its going to release its no log VPN powered browser for Android platform too.

What is VPN ?

If you don't know what that exactly is VPN feature is, don't worry! Relax.! VPN is nothing but Virtual Private Network, to say in simple words,i would say, this is the feature that will fake your IP address, its like browsing from some other another location while your location is different. For example: If you are based out in United states, and if you turn on the VPN Option Selecting Server based on United Kingdom, then the website that you are visiting will consider you are actually based on a different country, in our case United Kingdom and will provide content based on the location preference. This feature is used  for better privacy protection. Using this feature you can Skip "ISP's blocks (Accessing Website blocked on your country), and website tracking based on the location"
that's it, actually its a pretty much big concept, but the above one is what exactly it is :)

So, in additional to the existing browser features like ad-free browsing, Opera is adding this feature to its existing browser. But right now, since its currently under development phase, the company says, this feature will be rolled out to beta users first, and then it will be released on stable versions.

You can download the beta version of Opera at https://opr.as/app-d1f8f directly from Play store..

Nokia 9 leaked - This time Only renders!

Nokia 9 leaked ! yah!, after the success of its Nokia series, Nokia 6, Nokia 3, HMD global is making a new handset named Nokia 9. This Nokia 9 is in mind of most of the people as the much expected Nokia 8 was priced little bit high, and they have no other choices of atleast expecting only this new mobile Nokia 9 to be priced little bit lower.

So, as per the new leaks by Compare Raja (the popular leaking source), this new Nokia 9 handset is little bit sleek with some bezels around the display. There are also other rumors that this phone
could be powered by  the latest processor Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835, and the RAM to be around 4GB. The camera is also rumored to have the best in business with 12MP or 13 MP camera as it has dual camera with flash, and seriously there is no headphone jack for this mobile too.

Since Nokia 8 featured the camera app, using which you can take photos with rear and front camera at the same time, we can expect this phone to feature the same kind of software with latest Android Operating system.

Remember, this is just a leak and the actual handset may differ while they release officially.

OnePlus found to be collecting your Personal data without your (user) permission - Here is how to turn stop that!

OnePlus, the popular smartphone manufacturer is again back in the news, this time its for
collecting the user information without user's permission.

The smartphone manufacturer was under attack last time, when a group of people from xda found, oneplus manipulating the ROM of Oneplus 5 for higher scores in benchmarks. That issue happened almost three months ago, when the team decided
to check the rom with a new benchmark tool. They tested the OS with the regular benchmark kit and after that they decided to test it with another new benchmark tool, but what they found of kind of Surprising as Oneplus ROM was designed in a way to give high scores for benchmark when we test with the standard popular benchmark tools.

And now again, it was under attack because of this issue.

It was one of the user Christopher Moore, who unearthed this much serious issue while checking the incoming and outgoing data requests made by his phone. He found Oneplus transmitting a quite sensitive information that includes

IMEI number,

Mac Address,

User's behaviors like when an application is opened,

When your phone is unlocked, and lot more.

to open.oneplus.net

As soon as the netizens took this issue to Oneplus via twitter, Oneplus tried to escape
from this remark by saying, they are collecting this only for after sale Support and to tune the software for user behavior.

Here is the response from Oneplus, when Android Authority reached them ,

"We securely transmit analytics in two different streams over HTTPS to an Amazon server. The first stream is usage analytics, which we collect in order for us to more precisely fine tune our software according to user behavior. This transmission of usage activity can be turned off by navigating to ‘Settings’ -> ‘Advanced’ -> ‘Join user experience program’. The second stream is device information, which we collect to provide better after-sales support."

I don't know whether the new mobiles will also feature such kind of things, as there is no official confirmation from Oneplus regarding this, as of writing this post. But if you are a OnePlus user, and want all your information not to be sent to Oneplus, then you can turn off this Kind of keylogger by visiting Settings -> Advanced ->" Join user experience Program", without rooting your phone.
