Google Year in Search 2017: iPhone 8 the Top Trending Mobile Phone

HIGHLIGHTS

  • The iPhone 8 was the top trending mobile phone in India
  • It was also the top trending consumer tech product across the globe
  • Nokia showed up twice on both India and global lists

Google has released its Year in Search 2017 report, showing the top search queries across categories throughout the year
across the globe as well as in
India. The most important categories for Gadgets 360 are of course the top trending mobile phone and consumer tech of the year, which are available for India and the globe, respectively. In both places, the iPhone 8 was the top trending product of 2017. The lists are based on search terms that had a high spike in traffic in 2017 as compared to 2016.
Let's get started with Google's Year in Search, Top Trending Mobile Phones in India 2017 list. As we mentioned, the iPhone 8 topped that list, with Xiaomi's top-selling Redmi Note 4 next up. The 'Jio mobile' was third, probably referring to the Jio Phone feature phone launched by Reliance Jio earlier this year. Fourth was the
Redmi 5A, Xiaomi's second and last product on the list.
OnePlus 5 was fifth top trending mobile phone of 2017 in India, with the iPhone X taking the sixth spot, the Nokia 6 the seventh spot, the
Vivo V7+ the eighth spot, the Oppo F5 the ninth spot, and the Vivo V5 taking the last, tenth spot, becoming the third manufacturer after Apple and Xiaomi to feature two products on the list.
As for Trending Consumer Tech search terms in 2017 across the globe, the iPhone 8 was first, followed by the iPhone X - a sign of Apple's continued dominance of the aspirational tech space across the world. The Nintendo Switch was the third most trending consumer tech product of 2017, Google found - a rather big coup for the ailing Japanese company focused on reinvention.
Samsung's Galaxy S8 was fourth, followed by Microsoft's Xbox One X console in the fifth position, the
Nokia 3310 (2017) feature phone in sixth, the Razer Phone in seventh, the Oppo F5 in eighth, the OnePlus 5 in ninth, and finally, the Nokia 6 in 10, making it the second brand after Apple to have two products on the list.

Latest state of Android security: Just .08% of phones installing from Google Play have harmful apps

In the name of transparency, Google has released another Android security report (officially, the Android Ecosystem Security Transparency Report) that details many aspects of exactly how secure different parts of the Android ecosystem are, and how often they're being exploited in the real world. The goal is of course to show that Android is very secure purely based on the numbers Google collects — and it has no qualms about showing off its data, because it looks really good. We hear a lot about Android vulnerabilities that affect "millions" or "billions" of devices, but Google hits us with the hard numbers that show the reality of the situation: very few phones have so-called PHAs (potentially harmful applications) installed, and even fewer are actively exploited by those PHAs. In the first year of the report, 2014, the number of Android phones with PHAs sat at 1%, but that number has declined significantly — now in 2018, just 0.08%  of Android phones installing...

Google announces changes to sexual harassment policy following walkouts

Image
Following walkouts at Google offices around the world a week ago, CEO Sundar Pichai announced a series of changes to sexual harassment policy at the company today. A blog post provides a flyover of the policy changes, the details of which are in an internal Google announcement only viewable to employees (if anyone wants to share it with us completely anonymously, feel free). Those walking out demanded a series of five changes at Google, and it appears they're getting at least one of them, and arguably the one that was seen as most controversial. That change comes in an end to the requirement that internal sexual harassment claims be forced into arbitration (i.e., employees were not allowed to sue their workplace harassers). While Google maintains that the company's arbitration system was never meant to shield harassers from the public eye, arbitration can by its nature have that effect. The proceedings are closed-door, and confidentiality is often encouraged in such situations ...
