what's going on Bryant on here and welcome to Google issues for everything Google you can think of now it hasn't been officially announced at the time of our recording but we expect the release of android 8.1 to be available for android owners to update this week now it's an incremental update to Android Oreo with new features like unlocking the pixel visual core for better photos with third-party apps and other optimizations and fixes including a corrected hamburger emoji with the cheese on top of the meat patty finally now there's a corrected beer mug that's now filled all the way with the foam on top instead of halfway with foam which made no sense and the cheese emoji that previously had a line through the holes in the cheese it's fixed so totally worth the update now the new 1 + 5 t phone is getting some good press after was found to have the fastest charging times out of any phones with USB C adapters on the market beating out the LGB 30 and the iPhone 8 and 10 the chart it just says it all after 30 minutes of charging the 1+5 team reached a 59 percent charge and after an hour it maintained its fast charging status with a 93 percent charge good job oneplus alright Star Wars the last Jedi hype is about to hit an all-time high over the next week and a half you know what's coming and the 1 + 5 T is also offering a really cool exclusive paint job and unique colors for the software in line with the last Jedi now the phone will go on sale on December the 14th but pretty much none of us will be able to get it because it will be exclusive to India bad job oneplus like I wasn't gonna get one anyways alright lots of Google home news let's start with the bad and worth to the good stuff reports say a Google home subreddit and Product Forums claim that the Google home Mini has an issue where the Mini just completely reboots when music is playing on it and the volume is turned up too high that's a Boogle now the exact level when the reboot occurs is unclear but songs played at full volume often result in this error and it's something that Google needs to fix especially when it's one of the steals of the holiday season at 29 bucks a pop now Google home products are getting some really cool new features - it can now accept multiple commands at once so you can say something like hey Google turn off the bedroom and turn off the living room now my smart home peeps know how useful this is going to be it doesn't work on phones just yet plus you know it's a little picky right now and doesn't work with a home command and a chromecast command together but you know what it's a start and you should all check it out and eBay has just jumped on board with the Google assistant and home to find the price for items on eBay so here check out this video clip they're showing off as a demo and it will even narrow down options for you like I use eBay a lot and this is just an awesome feature that will then send the final listing to your phone to check out so it's pretty sweet as well and if you're waiting on the Google home max a Best Buy listing earlier on leaked that December the 11th would be the release date for the speaker now retails at 399 I heard an early version of it at a Google pop up experience and reps kept on telling me it was an early version because I wasn't really impressed with the deep bass and even its touch controls were buggy and not working at the time I still have high hopes for it and we're expecting it before the end of the year this timing would make sense and check this out a recent teardown of Google photos 3.10 has revealed that object removal is indeed coming - the Photos app thanks to Google's computer vision CEO sundar pichai demoed it at Google i/o 2017 saying it would be coming very soon and they use an example of a fence in front of a person being able to be completely removed code has shown references to this coming soon including 4k capture in the photo app which is a little odd faster processing thanks to the GPO and a new themed movie option that would be different from the current one and the Santa Tracker app is back and updated for 2017 with 24 days of games and activities now you'll have the obvious Santa tracker and there's other fun things to do including a minigame where you can fly around the world and take elfies with famous landmarks so go check it out it's available on android right now as well as Chrome and iOS all right that's gonna do it for this week you can email me at Google Isha's at cnet.com or tweet me at Brian Tong they torture watch it will catch all next time for some more of that Google issues you
