OnePlus 7 Pro debuts the new version of OnePlus Camera

OnePlus updates its Camera app for the OnePlus 7 Pro by adding deeper integration with Google Lens and changing up settings in the app. A long press on the viewfinder will trigger the feature and as 9to5Google mentions, it works offline to some extent. Without the long press, you need to turn on the “Smart Content Detection” setting to allow the app to recognize content, which ranges from phone numbers, website, and barcodes and QR codes. A couple of settings have also been taken out. These include Smile Capture and Auto Nightscape Scene Detection. But the aforementioned Smart Content Detection feature has been added alongside Auto Nightscape. You can now also arrange the different camera modes in the slider at the bottom, so you have easy access to the modes you use frequently. You can even turn off some of the modes entirely.

The OnePlus Gallery gets a refresh, too. The Collections Carousel has a cleaner interface with smaller thumbnails and better organization. And the file viewer now shows the date at the top of the user interface and the Favorites icons has been moved to a new location, too. As we mentioned, version 3.2 of the app is currently only available on the OnePlus 7 Pro but expect it to make its way to other OnePlus devices via the Play Store soon.

Google explains why it brought back the headphone jack for the Pixel 3a

Google joined the no headphone jack club when it launched the Pixel 2 devices. The reasoning behind it was they wanted to establish a “mechanical design path for the future.” According to Google’s Mario Queiroz, “We want the display to go closer and closer to the edge. Our team said, ‘if we’re going to make the shift, let’s make it sooner, rather than later.’ Last year may have been too early. Now there are more phones on the market.” And when the Pixel 3 came out, we got those almost all-screen devices.
