OnePlus will update the two-year-old 3 and 3T with Android P

OnePlus is doing something not a lot of phone manufacturers are doing, bring Android P to the two-year-old OnePlus 3 and 3T. Usually, phones get a two-year cycle for software update, so it was expected that Android Oreo would be the last updates for these phones. But the arrival of Android P on these devices come at a price. One is that these phones won’t get Android 8.1 update to better utilize development resources. Another is it’ll be placed at lowest priority, meaning OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 5 and 5T all get the update first. But for those who wanted to get the newest operating system, these tradeoffs might be worth it.

Netflix hasn’t confirmed ‘Luke Cage’ Season 3 yet

While rumour has it that the writers of Luke Cage are already working on the third season of the show, Netflix hasn’t confirmed its return yet. Cindy Holland, Netflix’s vice president of original content, said during the Television Critics Association press tour that they “haven’t made any firm decisions yet.” If it does push through, Luke Cage will be the third Marvel and Netflix co-produced show to get a third season (after Daredevil and Jessica Jones). The show has been generally well-received. On review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, its first season earned 94 percent, while its recently-released second season got 84 percent. We wouldn’t be surprised if Netflix decides to give it one more go.
