Looks like big problems The other day, a rather curious event happened on the market quite quietly. Nothing has introduced the Nothing Chats application , which could be called just another instant messenger, but the point is that this application actually allows Android owners to exchange messages with iPhone owners via iMessage. And a few days later, this application was removed from the Google Store. Nothing initially stated that this was done due to the discovery of several bugs that simply needed to be fixed.

Looks like big problems The other day, a rather curious event happened on the market quite quietly. Nothing has introduced the Nothing Chats application , which could be called just another instant messenger, but the point is that this application actually allows Android owners to exchange messages with iPhone owners via iMessage. And a few days later, this application was removed from the Google Store. [caption id="attachment_83323" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Android[/caption] Nothing initially stated that this was done due to the discovery of several bugs that simply needed to be fixed. However, it seems that the real reason is something else, and it is worse. Let us remind you that the interaction between the Android messenger and iMessage occurs on a third party. She is represented by the Sunbird company, which provides its platform through which the magic happens. However, it turned out that in terms of data security, this platform is apparently much worse than Sunbird itself stated. In particular, there is no end-to-end encryption. iMessage for Android only lasted a few days. The Sunbird platform, and therefore the Nothing Chats app, requires a new user of the app to submit their Apple ID credentials to set up syncing. This data is then authenticated on your behalf using a virtual machine running MacOS. The main problem is that the request containing user credentials occurs over an unencrypted channel (HTTP). [caption id="attachment_83324" align="alignnone" width="670"] Android[/caption] The situation as a whole is more complex and is fully described on the Text.Blog website, where several specialists explain how they discovered the problem and what it is. Among other things, they show that they can obtain users’ personal data. Thus, in fact, Nothing may not be to blame for the situation, but whether the application will now return to the Google Store is an open question.

This is a breakthrough for OnePlus, but OnePlus 12 will not be the world’s first smartphone with Sony LYT-808 OnePlus has officially declassified the sensor used as the main one in the main camera of the OnePlus 12 smartphone. This is Sony LYT-808. The company succinctly characterizes it as “perhaps the most powerful flagship sensor, second only to Sony’s inch sensor.” True, there is a nuance. Sony already has two inch sensors for smartphones: the IMX989 and its improved version called the LYT900. The OnePlus 12 camera will fit the Sony LYT-808 The resolution of the LYT-808 is 50 megapixels, the optical format […]

What users complain about Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, posted a message yesterday saying that Xiaomi 14 customers are very happy with the smartphones. We have already reported about this . Currently, the e-commerce satisfaction rate of Xiaomi 14 smartphone users is 99%. We will pay close attention to everyone's satisfaction, and if any questions arise, we will respond as soon as possible. Weibo users who have already purchased Xiaomi 14 commented on Xiaomi leader's posts on the Weibo social network, confirming that they are very pleased with the new product. There are few complaints so far, but they exist. Xiaomi Software Department Director Zhang Guoquan said that he has studied all the feedback received from Xiaomi 14 owners in the past three days and can state that the overall quality has again improved significantly compared to the previous generation, and the user satisfaction rating specifically on the JD platform .com exceeds 99%. The Xiaomi 14's satisfaction rating is close to 100%, but there are some problems [caption id="attachment_80001" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Xiaomi 14[/caption] He confirmed that in some cases, users have encountered problems running third-party applications, but Xiaomi is working quickly with developers to release the update. This is the most frequently mentioned problem. Energy consumption and heat dissipation issues are mentioned very rarely, according to Zhang Guoquan. In fact, these are isolated cases. He also asked, if possible, to record detected problems and bugs on video, which simplifies the work of Xiaomi engineers. Let us remind you that one of the new owners has already  complained on the Weibo social network about the strong heating of his new Xiaomi 14. Previously, Xiaomi 14 series smartphones  beat the starting daily sales of all domestic smartphones over the past year on four major platforms : Tmall, JD.com, Douyin and Kuaishou. Interestingly, before this, the title of best-selling models was held by more affordable smartphones, including Redmi K60, Redmi Note 12 Turbo and their competitors. It is also clarified that it took only four hours to set the Xiaomi 14 record. In addition, these  smartphones topped the AnTuTu rating .
