this episode of android weekly is brought to you by FreshBooks hey blackberry Google you've been giving us hints for a few months now we get it you're hooking up you're doing the dilly on Tuesday July seventh blackberry registered to different domain names Android secure comm and Android secure net if you go over to Android secure comm it redirects you to a curious page announcing the new partnership between blackberry and google now this partnership was announced first in February so there's nothing too new here but even so this new website contains some previously unknown details about the Jew company's efforts which may signal that we could expect to see something more than just an enterprise partnership blackberry doesn't need to build an Android device to showcase its hardware we all know about that the software is what matters and that's likely what we're witnessing here now for those of you who are disheartened regarding the leaks surrounding the galaxy note 5 you may be happy to hear about the LG G pro 3 if the leaks are correct the LG G pro 3 will be equipped with a 6 inch display offering 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution that's qhd which also works out to be a pixel density of 490 pixels per inch the handset is expected to be one of a rafted devices powered by Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 820 chipset and should include 4 gigabytes of ram 32 gigabytes for internal storage and you'll be very happy to know a microSD card slot for expandable storage on the back the LG G pro 3 is expected to sport a 20.7 megapixel rear camera with laser autofocus dual LED flash and possibly the color spectrum sensor from the LG g4 presumably the handset will also include optic image stabilization and 4k video recording although this is yet to be confirmed on the front the LG G pro 3 will sport an 8 megapixel camera which should capture outstanding selfies and will be one of the highest on current flagship smartphones now if you're looking for a phone to buy your mom who is just going to go buy an expensive iPhone you may want to consider the galaxy a8 it's coming very soon a new report this week from nowhere else suggests that the wait for the galaxy a8 is almost over with Samsung expected to unveil the a8 in China on July seventeenth for around four hundred eighty five dollars US based on previous leaks we know that the galaxy a8 is likely to feature a 5.7 inch 1080p Super AMOLED display and be powered by an octo core Snapdragon 615 processor with two gigabytes of RAM unlike the galaxy s6 edge flagship the galaxy a8 will have microsd support allowing you to expand 16 gigabytes of internal storage the key selling feature of the galaxy a8 is the impossibly thin body at just 5.9 4 millimeters thick the galaxy a8 is even thinner than the galaxy s6 at six point eight millimeters and the iphone 6 at six point nine millimeters despite the thin body samsung has managed to add a 16 megapixel iso cell camera and a series of recent leaks have also revealed that the galaxy a8 will have a tap based fingerprint sensor like the galaxy s6 which should increase the handsets appeal to the upper mid-range market the handset will be available in three colors black gold and white a separate leak from a chinese website pc online has revealed a gallery of images showing the a eight in all its metal glory and you'll be happy to know we have a little mini preview of Android M first the app drawer has once again been modified as you might recall the first M preview brought a new vertical scrolling app drawer that was alphabetically sorted and featured for shortcuts on the top row while this is still true the difference now is that the ABC lettering on the side has now been removed you also may remember the system UI tuner from the first preview this made it easy to tweak what icon showed up in the quick settings menu though at first it had to be turned on in the developer options with the second preview this functionality remains but it is also extended to the status bar now I love it when I get a sponsor that I've personally used and can recommend and i have used FreshBooks the super easy invoicing software and it
