Android Circuit is here to remind you of a few of the many things that have happened around Android in the last week (and you can find the weekly Apple news digest here).
While the single sheet of glass remains the mainstream, the rise of foldable devices such as this year’s Galaxy Z Fold 3 has opened up the mids of consumers and developers to the option and power of different screens.
The Surface Duo 2 might be an impressive upgrade over its predecessor but it’s far from a threat for the Galaxy Z Fold 3.".
"A pile of new Google devices just hit the FCC, and based on the details included, it looks like they are probably versions of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.
The idea of two foldable devices, to following the same style as the Z Fold and Z Flip from Samsung, has been around for some time, but momentum is building in the usual places that something is coming.
" Google versions of Samsung's two big foldable styles, the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip phones.
Google's Galaxy Fold device—a phone that opens up into a larger-screened tablet—has long been rumored with the codename "Passport." We've seen reports say the device will open up to a 7.6-inch display (the same as the Fold 3), and there have been several "Passport" references spotted in the Android codebase.".
"Lau contends Oxygen OS is either going to exist in name only or simply be replaced by an as-yet-unnamed unified operating system that will land on both OnePlus and Oppo phones.
The once individual engineering and development teams at OnePlus and Oppo are now fully merged.
