Question New car-focused Unisoc chipsets? - FYT Android Head Units

Not sure how realistic these announcements are vs "marketing power-point based products", but it seems UNISOC has been announcing at Barcelona MWC more focus on Auto Chipsets. In particular from their Twitter account:

Also, one outlet covering diverse Chinese MWC announcements in a note published:
"UNISOC will focus on displaying the first 5G smart cockpit chip platform A7870. It will also display a 4G car chip solution A7862, and an eight-core 4G car tech chip solution A8581. These products are currently entering the leading car group. In 2023 and in the future, UNISOC will further increase investment in automotive electronics."
The 7862 we know for years (and the 8581 is even less powerful) and that is why most probably they were branded in a more "legacy way" (4G)... but the fact that they (it seems) decided to dedicate some real-state of the stand to Auto solutions seems promising
Yes, I know, it might be ages until FYT or somebody else actually embeds this in a product... but the FYT-7862 has been around for 2.5 years already...
Has anybody heard anything on this?

Gyroscope-based smartphone keylogging attack

A pair of security researchers have recently unveiled an interesting new keylogging method (PDF Research Paper) that makes use of a very unlikely smartphone component, your gyroscope.
Most smart phones now come equipped with gyroscopes, which can be accessed by any application at any time. [Hao Chen and Lian Cai] were able to use an Android phone’s orientation data to pin down what buttons were being pressed by the user. The attack is not perfect, as the researchers were only able to discern the correct keypress about 72% of the time, but it certainly is a good start.
This side channel attack works because it turns out that each button on a smart phone has a unique “signature”, in that the phone will consistently be tilted in a certain way with each keypress. The pair does admit that the software becomes far less accurate when working with a full qwerty keyboard due to button proximity, but a 10 digit pad and keypads found on tablets can be sniffed with relatively good results.
We don’t think this is anything you should really be worried about, but it’s an interesting attack nonetheless.

very interesting
i wonder if Exynos will remain as the top benchmark after the official release of Medfield
Tegra is a joke, they never release sources

Qualcommn looks interesting in the battle with their new S4 too bad no devices are out yet featuring that SOC chipset
Intel is know to be very Open source friendly, so it'll be interesting to see how they integrate into the Android society
the bigger question though is, are existing Games & Apps going to run with a x86 based SOC?
Awesome! This is why I love Android. More competition = more choices and better performance.
yeah, i love android because of it
Ahhh this is gonna be good

Samsung Galaxy S III Spotted in Kies Dev Database

SOURCE: http://www.kickedface.blogspot.in/2012/04/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-spotted-in-kies.html
Samsung is releasing a device soon called the Galaxy S III, but it is curious nevertheless that an official Samsung database used by developers is already listing a couple different models of the phone. The new Galaxy S device will be officially unveiled at a highly anticipated media event next week, and it’s little things like this that prove how close it is to reality.

The database, known as Kies, lists a “Galaxy S3″ with model number GT-I9300T and another with model number GT-I9300. The latter is interesting, because there had been rumors floating about that specific model number as being a separate tiered version of the device, but they were not easily substantiated. It’s also worth pointing out that it’s spelled “Galaxy S3″ as opposed to the company’s more conventional “Galaxy S III” naming structure.
The most attention-grabbing thing about this is that there are thumbnails of the product as well. Now of course, they’re very small and really can’t event be significantly distinguished from the other Samsung smartphones. Nevertheless, it’s just another piece that shows this puzzle is very close to coming together. Source: Slashgear

Nokia Normandy (Android) prototype leaked in China with dual-sim, dual-standby & Andr

Nokia Normandy (Android) prototype leaked in China with dual-sim, dual-standby & Andr
Nokia’s Android phone known as Nokia Normandy aka RM-980 is not dead yet and Nokia may have put it on its release path already has been asserted by evleaks and our own sources.
Leaks of the first Nokia with Android doesn’t seems to stop and now a prototype has been leaked in China giving a blurry glimpse of the UI. One can only see the messaging icon clearly and the messaging icon looks quite different from what we see on Asha 5XX series and looks “Androidesque”.
Nokia logo is missing from the prototype but it matches well to earlier leaked press images and also that “Back” key reveals its “Asha” family roots. One more noteworthy thing is that source claims it to come with dual-sim, dual-standby feature, a departure from earlier Ashas and similar to first dual-sim Lumia, the Lumia 630.

Wireless charger EP-N5200T compatibily with S10e

So I've been looking into wireless chargers for my new S10e. So I obviously want Fast Charge capability (the 15W kind, not the 9w kind), and have been looking at the EP-N5200T. Now, on the main site https://www.samsung.com/ro/mobile-accessories/wireless-charger-stand-ep-n5200/EP-N5200TBEGWW/ it lists compatibility with everything from an old S6 all the way up to the Note 10+, and everything in between and even an Iphone thrown in there for good measure. Except the S10e. Now, maybe the description has not been updated when the S10e came out (which is probably the case) but just to be 100% sure, I contacted their support and got a reply, I'm paraphrasing here, "It's only compatible with what's on the list". Which seems totally bogus. It's compatible with an ancient S6 for crying out loud (limited compatibility of course, with whatever specs the S6 had available at the time), and every flagship Galaxy released since, but not the S10e?
Now given the crap that sometimes Samsung pulls, it's not totally impossible that the charger is not compatible, though highly unlikely, can someone confirm or deny the compatibility of the EP-N5200T with the S10e?
So it seems Samsung support staff are idiots.
