OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro's display and camera details surface

Yesterday we saw renders of the OnePlus 7 OnePlus 6T. The source also said that the images of a OnePlus smartphone with pop-up selfie camera we were treated to earlier were actually showing the OnePlus 7 Pro. Today, that same source has shed some more light on how these smartphones will differ. The OnePlus 7 will feature a 6.4-inch waterdrop notch display and sport a dual camera setup at the back with a 48MP main sensor. The Pro variant, on the other hand, will be built around a tad larger 6.64-inch notch less screen with curved edges. The smartphone will have a triple camera setup at the back, which too, will include a 48MP primary unit. The other two snappers in the system will be equipped with a telephoto and an ultra-wide angle lenses. The source also reveals that the third smartphone in the lineup will be called OnePlus 7 Pro 5G. We don't have any details about this one, but it's safe to say that it will just be a 5G-supporting version of the Pro variant having Snapdragon X50 modem under the hood. OnePlus is said to unveil these smartphones on May 14, and until then, we will likely hear a lot more about them.

How To Record WhatsApp Calls On Android

WhatsApp is a great messenger app with a number of features including both video and audio calls. But there is one feature that has been missing for a while (even in modded apps) and that is call recording. Of course, there is a major concern of misuse with call recordings, but sometimes we desperately need it.

If you want to record WhatsApp calls there are a few workarounds, but it’s not fool-proof as it also depends on the smartphone you are using. That being said, this is your best bet right now. So, here is how you can record WhatsApp calls on Android.

How to record the calls

1. Install Cube Call Recorder app ( its free) and open it. Grant all the necessary permissions and you are good to go.

2. Now open WhatsApp and make a call, a widget should appear on your screen indicating it’s recording your WhatsApp call. If the widget doesn’t appear then manually tap on the microphone icon in the Cube Recorder app. It will start recording your call thereafter.

3. In some cases, the recordings don’t have audio from the other side. To fix this issue, tap on the menu and open “Recording”. Change “VoIP recording” audio source to “Microphone”.

4. You are good to go, you can now record your calls. Besides WhatsApp calls, you can use this app to record cellular calls as well. In my testing, WhatsApp call recording worked flawlessly on my ZTE BA602 without changing the default settings.

The Different types of "CROSS-SITE SCRIPTING."

Cross-site scripting (XSS) a common vulnerability that is carried out when an attacker injects malicious JavaScript into a website, which then targets the website’s visitors. By doing so, the attacker may gain access to users’ cookies, sensitive user information, as well as view and/or manipulate the content that is shown to the user.

Reflected XSS

Reflected XSS means that the payload is reflected, i.e. the server reads it from the request and includes it as part of the response as well.

An attack like this requires getting the user to click on a link that includes the payload. There are several ways to achieve this; sending the link as an email or buying advertisements on a website that you know the victim is going to visit are two potential ways.

Stored/Persistent XSS

Persistent or Stored XSS means that the payload is saved on the actual page, not in the request that is then reflected.

As the malicious JavaScript is saved on the page, this attack does not necessarily require you to send the victim any specific link. It depends on where on the page it is saved. If the XSS is in the latest searches you can just wait until the victim uses the search function by themselves. However, if it is stored in a specific forum thread you might need to send the victim a link to that post.

DOM XSS

When you visit a website, the server generates some HTML and JavaScript which it sends back to your browser. Your browser will then interpret all this and you will see the result on your screen. JavaScript can modify what you see and this is also called modifying the DOM (Document Object Model).

DOM XSS is the catch-all term for when the attacker’s JavaScript is not interpreted directly as a result of the source you get from the server, but rather ends up being interpreted after existing JavaScript on the page has modified the DOM to include it.

DOM XSS could be much more complex than this. The JavaScript does not have to read the value from the URL, there are lots of other potential sources. Two examples would be postMessage or that the JavaScript sends a xhr-request to another API.

If a DOM XSS reads the value from the URL this similarly to reflected XSS requires you to share a specific link with the victim to exploit it. However, if it is caused by the server sending an API request to get the latest search terms, the impact would be similar to the persistent XSS.

Samsung sees lowest quarterly profit in more than two years

Samsung Electronics Co Ltd said on Friday it was heading for its lowest quarterly profit in more than two years as a glut in memory chips, slowing panel sales and rising competition in smartphones hit margins.

The South Korean tech giant said first-quarter operating profit likely slid 60 per cent from a year earlier, missing market expectations and putting it on track for its weakest quarterly profit since late 2016.

Samsung supplies memory chips and screens for its own smartphones and Apple Inc, and server chips for cloud companies such as Amazon. Its semiconductor business is the main profit driver.hares in Samsung rose briefly before paring gains to trade flat following the guidance, as many investors are already looking ahead to an earnings recovery on the back an improvement in chip prices in the second half of the year.

“In the second half, memory chip prices will have a soft landing, so falls will slow, and the release of new iPhones later seems like a good sign for Samsung’s display and memory chips,” said Kim Yang-jae, an analyst at KTB Investment and Securities.

The world’s biggest maker of smartphones and memory chips said in a filing January-March profit was likely 6.2 trillion won ($5.5 billion), missing the 6.8 trillion won estimate from analysts according to Refinitiv SmartEstimate.

Revenue likely fell 14 per cent from a year earlier to 52 trillion won. The firm will disclose detailed earnings in late April.

Samsung shares were flat as of 0120 GMT, while the broader market up 0.2 percent.

The firm earlier had warned the quarter could be disappointing due to falls in memory prices, and slowing demand for display panels used in Apple’s iPhones.

Samsung’s premium Galaxy smartphones meanwhile are struggling to be profitable due to rising costs of innovation, competition from Chinese rivals and the reluctance of consumers to upgrade, analysts have said.

HIT BOTTOM

Samsung’s share price has leapt more than 25 per cent since sinking to a two-year low in early January as some investors bet on a recovery in chip demand.

SK Hynix Inc, Micron Technology Inc and Samsung - which dominate the global market for dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, chips used in personal computers, smartphones and servers - recently have issued upbeat assessments of the prospects for a recovery in chip prices.

Hopes were buoyed further when data showed the manufacturing sector in China, the world’s biggest smartphone market, unexpectedly returned to growth for the first time in four months in March.

Samsung is betting a new line-up of smartphones including a foldable handset and a 5G-enabled model will help boost its market share in China, which crashed with the advent of cheaper Chinese rivals like Huawei Technologies Co Ltd.

But its latest phones are expensive to make, weighing on profitability even as its sells faster than its predecessor, analysts say.

“New smartphones coming out in the second half won’t necessarily help its smartphone business, but will be a plus for Samsung’s chip side as those phones require high density chip adoptions,” said Park Sung-soon, an analyst at BNK Securities.
