Google Announces New Cloud Storage Plans Including 2TB for $9.99 a Month

Google has announced a new series of cloud storage plans arriving for Google Account holders, including a new family option for divvying up a single storage plan amongst up to five members.

Called Google One, the new plans will replace existing Google Drive paid storage plans and include 100GB storage for $1.99 a month, 200GB for $2.99 a month, and 2TB for $9.99 a month (down from $19.99).

As a result, Google is removing its 1TB/$9.99 plan, but will continue to offer 15GB storage for free to all Google Drive users. The other existing tier that will continue to be offered is 30TB for $300 a month.

As before, the new storage plans provide users with space for Google Drive, Gmail, and original quality photos and videos (including 4K) in Google Photos.

All the paid plans come with access to live chat support, a feature that was previously limited to G Suite business account holders. The changes will be seen first by paying Google Drive users in the U.S. “in the coming months”, with rollout to users in other countries shortly after.

For the sake of comparison, Apple’s iCloud monthly storage plans are 50GB for $0.99, 200GB for $2.99, 2TB for $9.99, and 5GB free storage for non-paying users.

Realme 1 hands-on: Budget smarts from OPPO and Amazon?

These days there is no shortage of affordable devices with premium-like features. Now there’s one more: the Realme 1.

Realme is a sub-brand of OPPO and this handset is the result of a partnership with Amazon India, where the phone is launching exclusively. The device will sell for 13,990 rupees for the top version (6GB+128GB), which is the equivalent of $200 or 150 pounds.

And for that, you’re getting an interesting slew of features, while also facing some interesting compromises. The Realme 1 is not your usual combination, but rather a setup that seems to put the device’s smarts at the center of the equation.

These are the 5 best Indian smartphone brands

Indian smartphone brands are losing ground to Chinese manufacturers in their home market — not a single one made the list of the five biggest players in Q3. Samsung is tied with Xiaomi for first …The first thing you’ll notice is the Diamond Black Finish. It’s a glossy finish that reflects light in a kind of polygonal pattern. This looks a lot more impressive in press photos than in the flesh to be honest. At first I thought (and hoped) it would be textured in some way, but in reality it’s just a trick of the light that will often go unnoticed (especially under the provided case). In a lot of lighting conditions the pattern just simply disappears. Still, it is nice to see a budget brand trying something a little different.

The phone generally feels quite cheaply made – very plasticky and light

To be honest though, the phone generally feels quite cheaply made – very plasticky and light (and not in the good way). The buttons are pretty flaky too and instead of a volume rocker, you get two individual buttons located inconveniently on the left of the device.

I was also a pretty disappointed to discover a micro USB port down the bottom. That definitely feels like a cheap choice, as do the haptics effects, which come from a very noisy and clumsy motor. Most baffling, there’s no fingerprint sensor, which is something you almost always find even on budget handsets. This is a problem seeing as a lot of apps these days work with fingerprints – and going back to PINs just seems old fashioned.

Display

Better news comes from the 6-inch 2160 x 1080 screen, which features some very slim bezels. Some of the early official photos showed a notch, but it seems that this design feature was dropped last minute, as mine has a regular looking screen. It’s bright enough in use (perhaps a little tricky to make out in direct sunlight) and blacks are pretty black, though it does feel a little plasticky along with the rest of the device – you’ll notice when swiping to bring down the notification tray, for instance.

There’s a single speaker down the bottom, but it is actually pretty loud as they go.

I was pleasantly surprised during set-up to discover the option for face unlock.

Performance and features

That micro USB and cheap feel had set me up not to expect much when I first booted up the device. However, I was pleasantly surprised during set-up to discover the option for face unlock. This would be the result of the Helio P60 processor with its built-in NPU. And of course, it somewhat mitigates the lack of fingerprint sensor. Though not quite, seeing as it’s pretty slow and won’t be secure enough for some applications.

And that AI prowess should also be able to help get the very most out of a 3,410mAh battery. The 6GB of RAM is also a generous choice for a budget handset, as is the 128GB of internal storage. Some users will be glad to see a hybrid SIM here too, which means there’s the option to expand storage or add another SIM. And on the whole, performance seems perfectly adequate. The Helio P60 is roughly equivalent to the Snapdragon 660 in that regard, and the 12nm production process may help to contribute to the superior battery efficiency. That said, the chipset features a lesser GPU in the Mali G72 MP3. You may notice the odd dropped frame in demanding games, but nothing major. I’ll be testing that out myself in the full review though to be sure.

The Realme 1 is running Android 8.1 Oreo with the Color OS UI layer on top. I can’t say I’m a fan, but that’s a matter of personal taste and again, things seem to breeze by with nary a stutter.

The 6GB of RAM is also a generous choice for a budget handset, as is the 128GB of internal storage.

Camera

The camera also seems to be above-par for the price point and once again it gets to join in with the AI fun. Around the back is a 13MP shooter, while the front gets a decent 8MP. Both are capable of portrait-mode, depth-of-field effects as well as ‘AI beauty’ technology, which are handled by the NPU despite the single lens. Low light performance also seems better than I expected and in my brief tests so far, the camera performance seems pretty decent. I’m going to need a bit longer to give it a verdict.

Final thoughts

So, this is a phone that is very much a budget device. It feels it and it looks it, despite Realme’s best efforts with that weird pattern on the back panel. But there are also some cool features here that largely come down to the AI. And, at such a low price, this might just be enough for some punters.

Check back here for the full Realme 1 review soon, where we’ll put it through its paces and see how it performs under scrutiny.

How to Stop Your Apple Watch From Launching the ‘Now Playing’ App When Audio Plays on Your iPhone

Most Apple Watch owners will recognize the “Now Playing” app – it automatically launches by default whenever you play audio through the Music or Podcasts app on your iPhone. A similar screen shows when you play audio through any third-party iPhone app that also has an Apple Watch extension, like Overcast, for example.

The Now Playing app provides quick access to playback controls on your wrist, as well as track options like Love/Dislike and Delete From Library. You can also turn the Crown on your Apple Watch to adjust volume, which is handy when you’re listening on AirPods or other headphones that don’t have built-in volume controls.

You might not like the way the Now Playing app automatically appears when you play audio on your iPhone. If you just want to see your watch face when you raise your wrist during audio playback, you can turn off the default behavior by following the first set of steps below.

You can still make it easy to access the Now Playing app without it automatically taking over the screen whenever you play audio. One solution is to add the Now Playing app to your Apple Watch’s Dock, accessed with a press of the Side button. Another option is to enable the Now Playing watch face complication. Click the links to find out how.

OPPO unveils $210 Realme 1 in India with Helio P60, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage

OPPO kicks off Realme sub-brand in India to take on Xiaomi’s Redmi series.

They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery, and that’s exactly what OPPO is doing with its new Realme sub-brand. The Chinese company unveiled the first product in the series, the Realme 1, and it’s immediately evident that OPPO is setting Xiaomi — particularly its Redmi series — in its sights.

OPPO is positioning the Realme 1 as a device that delivers on both price as well as quality, touting the fact that each phone goes through 18 quality tests for the motherboard, more than 100,000 drop tests, and multiple humidity and temperature tests. These kinds of tests are standard across the industry, but OPPO is highlighting them as a possible differentiator.

The phone features a 6.0-inch FHD+ 18:9 display, and is powered by MediaTek’s Helio P60 chipset with four 2.0GHz Cortex A73 cores paired with four Cortex A53 cores. MediaTek hasn’t fared well in the budget segment in recent years, but it looks like the P60 has the potential to change that. Other specs of the Realme 1 include a 13MP rear camera, 8MP front shooter, and a 3400mAh battery.

Like OPPO’s mid-range phones, the Realme 1 features the company’s AI-assisted selfie mode, which analyzes your facial features and fixes any blemishes. Another feature to make its way from the F7 is the Diamond Black rear design, an interlacing pattern that allows the phone to catch the light at various angles.

On the software side of things, the Realme 1 is running Oreo based on ColorOS 5.0. The Realme 1 is available in two storage configurations initially: a base model with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage for ₹8,990 ($135), and a version with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage for ₹13,990 ($205). While the rest of the specifications look great for a phone in this category, the Realme 1 misses out on a fingerprint sensor.

After-sales customer service has been a major pain point for consumers in India, and OPPO says that it is acutely aware of the issue. The brand says that it will be able to offer resolutions in just over an hour for up to 90% of all smartphone-related issues at its service centers.

The Realme 1 will go up for sale exclusively on Amazon India starting May 25 for as low as ₹8,990 ($135), and the aggressive pricing suggests OPPO is intent on stealing market share away from Xiaomi. The launch of the Realme 1 comes at a particularly difficult time for Xiaomi, with the company unable to meet the demand for the Redmi Note 5 Pro nearly three months after its release.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 can download up to 37 percent faster than the iPhone X

There are a few things to consider when buying a smartphone — you’ll want to think about a phone’s design, camera, performance, and so on. But what about how quickly phones can upload and download files? If speedy internet access is important to you, a new study has been released detailing the fastest phones out there — and it turns out that Samsung is the winner.

The study comes from Ookla, the company behind speedtest.net, and highlights that the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus significantly outperform other smartphones when it comes to downloading and streaming content. By how much? According to the study, the phones are up to 42 percent faster — which is no small feat.

The speeds are largely thanks to the CAT 18 LTE modem built into the phones, which are able to deliver download speeds of up to 1.2 Gbps, though that obviously depends on network speeds. The real takeaway here is the fact that, depending on which phone you use, you could experience significantly different speeds, even on the same network and in the same area. The study highlights that the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus boast speeds of up to 37 percent faster than the iPhone X, 17 percent faster than the Google Pixel 2, and 38 percent faster than the Galaxy S7.

“This summer, consumers are going to be on the road, at the beach, and relying on their phones more than ever, but without the latest and fastest network technology that’s available in the Galaxy S9 and S9+, their phones may quite literally slow them down,” said Justin Denison, senior vice president, Mobile Product Strategy and Marketing at Samsung Electronics America, in an emailed statement.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus aren’t just fast — they also boast the latest and greatest Qualcomm processor, the Snapdragon 845, along with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage.

Data speeds in general are only getting faster. As we move toward 5G, carriers are implementing LTE Advanced networks capable of delivering over 1 Gbps speeds. Of course, that not only hinges on carrier implementation, but also manufacturers taking advantage of new mobile modems that are capable of downloading files at such speeds.

The Galaxy S9 has dramatically faster LTE than the iPhone X, but that isn’t the whole story

The Galaxy S9 may be 42% faster than the competition, but that’s not as impressive as it may sound.

As technology advances and more of what we do transitions to the internet and cloud, it’s increasingly more important to carry smartphones that offer reliable LTE performance. Samsung recently revealed that the Galaxy S9 and S9+ have demonstrated LTE speeds that are up to 42% faster than competing handsets in real-world conditions, and while that might sound like a seriously impressive feat at first, it’s not as jaw-dropping as Samsung’s cracking it up to be.

First off, let’s go through how Samsung got the numbers it did. Samsung used Ookla Speedtest, a well-known company, to track LTE performance on the Galaxy S9, iPhone X, Google Pixel 2, and two-generations-old Galaxy S7. When doing so, Samsung found that the S9 series was:

• 37% faster than the iPhone X
• 17% faster than the Pixel 2
• 38% faster than the Galaxy S7

That’s on average, at least. The study was conducted via speed tests on “major nationwide carriers’ 4G LTE networks” from February to April of this year, and compiled along weighted averages to take out the outliers. All of that is perfectly legitimate, and while Samsung and Ookla are honest in their testing, being 37% faster than the iPhone X in average benchmark-like tests isn’t necessarily representative of real-world performance you’d actually experience.

The modem that’s being used in the Galaxy S9 and S9+ is considerably faster than the ones found in other handsets, as the test results show, but the variables that go into data speeds when using your phone like a phone and not strictly testing download speeds aren’t as clear cut. What network is your phone on? How’s the coverage in your area? How many apps do you have accessing data in the background? What kind of file are you downloading? Where are you downloading from? All of these questions (and more) weigh heavily in the end result of whether your Galaxy S9 would feel notably faster than an iPhone X or Pixel 2.

Real-world use is a completely different beast than benchmark tests.

A snappier modem can contribute to technically faster speeds, but when you throw in all of the real-world variables and the fact that most consumers likely wouldn’t notice any difference above a certain threshold, that “42% faster” figure loses some of its luster. Yes, it may be faster — but you may not actually notice it being faster given the real-world circumstances we all deal with as network conditions change.

The Galaxy S9 is a tremendously powerful phone and is capable of wickedly fast data speeds, but so are most other modern smartphones. There may be many instances where the Galaxy S9 is able to finish downloading an app or video file a handful of seconds faster than an iPhone X or Pixel 2, and while that’s a welcome convenience to have, it isn’t reason enough to ignore the rest of the competition — it’s just another data point to take into consideration.

Solar-powered devices pull water vapor straight out of thin air in Australia

People across Australia may soon drink clean water pulled straight out of thin air. The water will be supplied by an array of solar-powered devices developed by Zero Mass Water, an American startup specializing in technology that can extract water from the atmosphere.

“Zero Mass Water’s ‘hydropanel’, called Source, creates clean drinking water from sunlight and air, so that every person in nearly every climate and corner of the world can produce their own water,” Cody Friesen, Zero Mass Water CEO, told Digital Trends “It’s that simple — if the sun is shining, Source makes drinking water.”

Thanks to $420,000 in funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), Zero Mass Water will install 150 Source hydropanels in various locations around the country, including in Sydney, Perth, and Adelaide.

Friesen compares his company’s hydropanels to rice in a salt shaker. Fans in the hydropanels help pull surrounding air through an air filter, which attracts water molecules and funnels them to a reservoir.

“The water is collected as pure water vapor, is desorbed into an airtight system, and is converted to liquid form,” he said. “This liquid water flows into the Source reservoir, where it is mineralized with calcium and magnesium for taste and health benefit, stored, and then delivered straight to your tap, ready to drink.”

Each individual hydropanel can collect between four and 10 liters of water per day on average, according to the company, and has the potential to extract enough potable water over 15 years to replace 20,000 plastic bottles.

Raised in the Sonoran desert, Freisen said water scarcity was a feature of his life since childhood. But it wasn’t until he traveled abroad as an adult that he realized people all over the world suffer from lack of clean drinking water.

“With this in mind, we worked in my lab on developing the materials science, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics it would take to solve this issue,” he said. “Ultimately, we found an incredibly efficient way to use solar energy to produce clean, great-tasting drinking water from the sun and air.”

The pilot project will see Source hyropanels placed in airports, cafes, and commercial buildings around the country. A third-party study will help assess the impact of the bottle water reduction in the country.

Disposable plastic straws are a huge polluter. This keychain could change that

Every single day, Americans throw away an estimated 500 million single-use plastic straws, many of which wind up in landfills or the ocean without being recycled. A new handy portable implement aims to do something about that — and in a way that’s as stylish as it is eco-friendly. Called FinalStraw, it’s a keychain that transforms into a washable, reusable stainless steel straw.

“In 2013, I was in Thailand and noticed that the beach was covered in straws,” co-creator Emma Cohen told Digital Trends. “I’d pick them up every morning, and by the next morning there would be a fresh batch discarded by people who’d order drinks and carelessly discarded the straws on the pristine beach. Once you’re aware of how much of the trash in the world is made up of single-use straws, you start to notice them everywhere you look. My obsession led me to do a TEDx talk on plastic straws in 2015. Then in October 2017, I was introduced to Miles Pepper, who had a brilliant idea for a travel-friendly reusable straw. I was still working in the pollution prevention division of Los Alamos National Laboratories, in New Mexico, but I was ready for a change. I left my job and started working with Miles on the project full time.”

The project has now arrived on Kickstarter, offering customers the opportunity to get their hands (and, presumably, mouth) on the steel straw.

“FinalStraw is great for anyone who wants to reduce their plastic waste and still suck,” Pepper told us. “Lots of people have reusable water bottles, but up until now, reusable straws were too big and bulky to carry around all of the time. FinalStraw solves these problems. [Plus], whipping this sucker out is a pretty cool party trick!”

As ever, we offer warnings about the risks of pledging money as part of crowdfunding campaigns. However, if you still wish to go ahead, you can head over to FinalStraw’s Kickstarter page for more information. There are just a few days to get involved, though, so you’ll have to be quick. Prices start at $20, with an estimated shipping date set for November 2018. Despite asking for a relatively meager $12,500, the project is currently sitting at around the $1.5 million mark. Converted into orders, that may be a bit shy of the daily 500 million plastic straws mark, but it’s not a bad start.

Need a nudge? Gmail’s new email reminder system goes live

If you’re a Gmail user, Google is taking away your excuse of “forgetting” to respond to important emails. Alongside the redesigned Gmail webmail interface that was announced a few weeks ago, Google is now rolling out a new feature called Nudge, which makes use of artificial intelligence to remind you to respond to emails.

“When your inbox is flooded with emails, some will inevitably slip through the cracks,” Google said of the new feature in a blog post. “Luckily, the new Gmail can help. It will now ‘nudge’ users to reply to emails they may have missed and to follow up on emails for which they haven’t received a response.”

What is Nudge, and how does it work?

Nudge identifies important emails in your inbox and tells you the number of days ago it was sent and asks if you want to reply, helping you stay productive. For the feature to work, Google uses an artificial intelligence engine to scan your emails. In the past, Google scanned your emails to serve up more personalized ads, but that practice ended last June.

Google still scans your emails today, but it does so for other purposes. By using A.I., Google is able to offer features like Smart Reply, Nudge, and high-priority notifications.

Another way that Google is using A.I. to scan your inbox is to stop spams and scam emails. So while you’re able to turn off features like Nudge and Smart Reply, you cannot disable the scanning entirely because Google uses these scans for security to prevent scam emails from reaching you.

How to get ‘nudged’ on important emails

By default, Nudge is enabled for all Gmail and G Suite users. Google isn’t enabling the feature for all users at the same time, so it may take a few days for Nudge to show up in your Gmail. A requirement, however, is that you must have the new Gmail interface enabled. If you haven’t already done this, you can follow our guide on how to get the new Gmail right now.

Image: Google

Here’s how to spot a nudge

Nudges appear alongside your email previews on the right-hand side. You’ll see the sender’s name, the subject, and a preview of your email in black text. On the right of the preview on select emails is the nudge, which is shown in orange text to help draw your attention. Nudges will appear at the top of your inbox, so you’ll see them them first.
The nudge shows when the email was received and asks if you want to respond to it right now. In one example, Gmail shows that a nudge was received three days ago. By displaying when the email was received, you can focus on emails that you’ve put off longer first.
Nudges won’t appear for all emails in your inbox — it would defeat the purpose otherwise. Thanks to Google’s use of A.I. scans, Gmail will only nudge you on emails that its artificial intelligence algorithms deem are important. As the A.I. learns, hopefully Gmail will get better at nudging you based on what’s truly important.
Nudges are flagged in two different ways. First, Google will nudge you based on emails that you may have forgotten to reply to. This, hopefully, should keep the communication flowing. Second, nudge can also be used to suggest emails to follow up.

An alternative to annoying nudges

Even though nudging is enabled by default, you can disable the feature by going into your Gmail settings. Turning off Nudge won’t turn off Google’s A.I. scan of your inbox, but you won’t see the orange text asking you to respond to emails that Google thinks are important.

Image: Google

After you’ve logged in, go to the Settings cog on the top right side, and click Settings. You’ll be able to enable or disable nudges by toggling the Suggest emails to reply to box or the Suggest emails to follow up on box.

If you prefer to manage your own nudges, you can also utilize Gmail’s Snooze feature.

Hover over your email preview within Gmail. You’ll see additional options to the right of the email preview.
On the right, you’ll see a clock, which is the Snooze feature. Click on the Clock to see a drop-down with options.
You can have Google remind you to go back to this email based on presets, like later today, tomorrow, later this week, this weekend, next week, or someday. Alternatively, you can also click on Pick date and time to enter your own custom time for reminder.

Join Android Central on Twitter this Wednesday for a OnePlus 6 AMA!

I would do anything for AMA, but I won’t do that.

AMA. It’s the kind of cultural phenomenon that could have only come from Reddit, but the term is now part of popular culture, and that’s fine. Heck, we’re happy about it.

See, for the launch of the OnePlus 6 this Wednesday, May 16 at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 5PM BST, we’re doing something a bit different. We’re going to do a live Twitter AMA (it stands for Ask Me Anything, if you didn’t already know) after the announcement, answering all of your questions about the new phone.

We’ll have our video editor, Alex Dobie, on-site in London for the event, and I (that’s Managing Editor, Daniel Bader) will be remote alongside MrMobile himself, Michael Fisher, to answer any and all questions you might have. (We’re not going to say we’ve seen the phone, but we may have a bit of info that you don’t 😉.)

How do you get involved? Send your questions to the @androidcentral Twitter account with the hashtag #ACOnePlus6AMA. You have to use the hashtag (and tweet @androidcentral) otherwise won’t see it. Here’s a sample question:

Hey @androidcentral, what does it feel like to #neversettle? #ACOnePlus6AMA

We’ll be doing some cool stuff during the AMA, with some specific shout-outs and perhaps a giveaway or two! The AMA kicks off as soon as the announcement ends, so between 1:30PM and 2PM ET. Submit your questions early so we’ll have a chance to respond!

Are you going to join us?
