Micromax In 1b 2GB RAM variant runs on Android 10 Go Edition

Micromax In 1b was launched earlier this month alongside the Micromax In Note 1 as the two phones that marked the comeback of the company in India. While the In Note 1 did go on sale, the In 1b was supposed to go on sale from November 26 but the company faced some logistics issue on the day of the launch which is why it was postponed to a later date.

Now we are getting information that the base variant of the Micromax In 1b that has 2GB of RAM runs on Android 10 (Go Edition). This was revealed by the Flipkart listing of the phone that displays two different operating systems for the two variants that are offered by the company. The 2GB RAM variant of the In 1b gets the Android 10 Go Edition while the 4GB RAM variant runs on full-fledged Android 10.

Android 10 (Go Edition) was released in September 2019 with an aim of making the Android ecosystem faster and more secure for entry-level phones and is designed with new app experiences in mind. Google claims that apps boot 10 percent faster on Android 10 (Go edition), as compared to Android 9 (Go edition), and the overall security is improved as well.

There is currently no official word as to when the Micromax In 1b will go on sale in India. Having said that, the countdown timer on the official website has been reset and now indicates that the sale could take place sometime in the second week of December in India.

Micromax In 1B features a 6.52-inch HD+ (1600 x 720 pixels) resolution display with a waterdrop notch cutout on the front. The In 1B measures 8.9 millimetres in thickness and weighs 188 grams.

The phone supports storage expansion by using microSD cards of upto 128GB. Like the In Note 1, the In 1B also runs on stock Android. However, the 2GB variant of the phone comes with Android 10 (Go Edition).

The Micromax In 1B has a dual-camera setup on the back that consists of a primary 13MP camera and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, there is an 8MP selfie camera housed within the notch cutout.

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat! On Lyft or on Insta! . . . From the sidelines I ask you to flex your code’s might. Happy Xmas to all if you make these apps right. Instagram See More Like This – A button on feed posts that when tapped inserts a burst of similar posts before the timeline continues. Want to see more fashion, sunsets, selfies, food porn, pets, or Boomerangs? Instagram’s machine vision technology and metadata would gather them from people you follow and give you a dose. You shouldn’t have to work through search, hashtags, or the Explore page, nor permanently change your feed by following new accounts. Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta. Web DMs – Instagram’s messaging feature has become the defacto place for sharing memes and trash talk about peopl...

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
