Android Apps no Longer running on Windows 10 Mobile

Whats New In Windows : Microsoft removes Android subsystem from latest build of Windows 10 Mobile



Despite all the advances of Windows 10 Mobile the feature which will likely do the most to increase availability of apps on the system is Project Astoria, which lets developers easily port their Android apps to Windows 10 Mobile, and which has also so far let users side-load Android apps to their handsets.

It seems however something has gone wrong with this important feature, as Microsoft has removed the subsystem in the latest 10549 Build of the OS. Interestingly the subsystem files are still present in the recently released emulator, which runs build 10563. However, keep in mind that Astoria may not be available in the next Windows 10 Mobile build either as Microsoft may not include the Android subsystem files on the next build, too.

WindowsBlogItalia, who first reported the news, claims the reason for the removal was due to the Android subsystem slowly degrading Windows 10 Mobile, which is oddly fitting given the long-term concerns Windows phone fans have about introducing Android apps to our OS.

Our sources tell us the removal is just temporary, but do our readers agree this is a bad omen for the whole Android on Windows Mobile idea? Let us know below.

iQOO z3 Build Quality & Durability Test

By
iQOO Z3 is the new budget 5G smartphone launched in India. The base variant of the phone can be purchased under 20,000 Rs. That makes it a very attractive offer. We will talk about the full review some other day, but today we will mainly focus on " Build Quality " of the device.  You can skip reading and watch the dull durability test of iQOO Z3 on our YouTube channel. Construction & Material Used:-  Lets start of with the material used. The phone is made using polycarbonate made rear panel and frame. Which isn't quite surprising in 2021, as most of the brands are following similar pattern to provide more specs. Do you remember Redmi K20 ? It was priced effectively under 20,000 and has a solid glass and metal combination. Coming back to iQOO Z3. Display:- The phone has 6.58 inches IPS LCD panel. Speaking about the display protection used company hasn't mentioned during product launch. We looked on Corning database but couldn't find the Z3 mentioned anywhere. ...

Nothing Phone 2: There's something in marketing gimmick

By
Nothing Phone 2 Squabble: Nothing priced its first phone (Nothing Phone) at 32,000 on July 12, 2022. The phone was distinct because to its glyph light feature and distinctive operating system. Nothing has also developed Nothing EAR (TWS), a Landon-based firm that has sold over 1 million units worldwide as of the end of 2022. Here is our whole Nothing Phone 2 review. Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing Nothing Technology Limited (stylized as NOTHING), has introduced Nothing Phone 2, and people are discussing his marketing techniques rather than his products. They implement a twofold embargo for artists; it appears that they are encouraging influencers to engage in dark marketing. Mr. Rakesh, alias Gyan Therapy, made a video opposing the embargo while everyone else was busy fluffing it.  So, following the contentious embargo, I've discovered two major reasons to avoid Nothing Phone 2: 1. Expensive Pricing: The Nothing Phone 2 costs roughly 45,000 INR, which is 5,000 INR higher than the Oneplus ...
