Android Pie is rolling out for the notched Motorola One

Motorola’s midrange notched Motorola One and Motorola One Power phones are starting to get Android 9.0 Pie updates, according to Android Police.

The Motorola One launched in Europe, Latin America, and Asia back in October, and it just went on sale in the United States earlier this month for $399. It features a 5.9-inch HD display with a distinctly iPhone X-style notch (although there’s no Face ID-esque unlocking), paired with a Snapdragon 625 processor. The One Power is a little bigger and more powerful, with a larger battery, 6.2-inch screen, and Snapdragon 636 chipset, but it’s exclusive to India.

Motorola had actually promised the 9.0 Pie update at IFA when it announced the two devices, so this isn’t entirely unexpected, but it’s nice to see that the company has been relatively swift in making sure the phones are updated. Both phones are also part of Google’s Android One program, which promises at least two OS updates. So if all goes well, the devices should be getting an Android Q update next year, too.

The second feature that Firefox is testing is called Side View and it does basically what it sounds like: you can view two browser tabs at once in the same tab and window. Without the feature, you can already line up two windows side by... Continue reading… from The Verge - All Posts https://ift.tt/2LZWa7h

How to install Fortnite on Android

Epic Games launched its battle royale hit Fortnite on Android devices last week with a big catch: it was exclusive to Samsung-made phones for a few days as a way to help market the new Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Now, the exclusivity period appears to be over, and beta invite codes are going out to select users of non-Samsung phones like the Google Pixel 2 XL. If you’re itching to dive off the battle bus on mobile, you might have to hold on just a little while longer: there appears to be a waiting list, just like there was when the game launched on iOS. There’s also a bit of trickiness involving exactly how you get the app because Epic announced it would be distributing the Android version of Fortnite on its own terms . Last week, the app was distributed through Samsung’s app store, and Epic is using its own website and a Fortnite Installer program to distribute the game more widely on all compatible Android devices. (Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said this is basically to avoid paying Google...
