Android 17 Beta Now Available for vivo X300 Pro and iQOO 15

Published

on

SHENZHEN, China, May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — vivo today announced the release of Android 17 Beta 3 for its flagship vivo X300 Pro and iQOO 15 smartphones. This release provides developers with early access to explore and test the new Android features on vivo devices, ensuring a seamless and optimized user experience. The Android 17 Beta is now available for download on the vivo Developers website.

The Android 17 Beta version showcases some of the most significant enhancements coming to the platform across privacy and security, core functionality and user experience, and performance and power optimization.

Strengthened Privacy and Security

Android 17 introduces a range of updates designed to enhance privacy and security. Network security will be tightened by phasing out less secure traffic declarations. Background audio access is also receiving stricter enforcement, requiring apps to be visible or to hold a specific foreground service permission to play audio. File operation handling is being improved with stricter validation for read/write permissions to prevent high-risk operations.

To mitigate OTP hijacking, Android 17 introduces a three-hour delay for SMS OTP reading in most apps. However, applications using the standard SMS Retriever or User Consent APIs will remain unaffected. Furthermore, new permissions will restrict cross-app communication and background activity launches to reduce phishing and UI hijacking risks, delivering a safer mobile experience.

Enhanced User Experience and Core Functionality

Android 17 brings notable improvements to the overall user experience. On large-screen devices, touchpad pointer capture will now default to mouse-like behavior, making it easier for games and 3D applications to reuse existing mouse logic across tablets, foldables, and ChromeOS devices.

The platform also introduces a more efficient, lock-free MessageQueue, alongside enhanced accessibility support for CJKV languages on physical keyboards, delivering more accurate voice and haptic feedback for users relying on screen readers.

Another key new feature is the Android Contacts Picker, a browsable interface that allows users to share specific contact details with apps without granting access to their entire address book.

Elevated Performance and Power Efficiency

To improve device efficiency, Android 17 includes updates aimed at reducing wake locks and helping developers diagnose performance issues. New support for “allow-while-idle” alarms will significantly optimize power consumption for apps with recurring background tasks. Additionally, new system triggers in the ProfilingManager will make it easier for developers to automatically collect performance data and proactively identify issues like slow startup or abnormal CPU usage.

Eligible devices and regions

Developers are invited to visit the vivo Developers website to explore the latest features, get their apps ready, and provide feedback to help shape the Android 17 mobile experience with vivo.

Eligible devices and regions include:

– vivo X300 Pro: Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan (China), Hong Kong (China), Singapore, Vietnam, Myanmar, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Nepal, Kenya, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Russia, Bhutan and Tanzania.

– iQOO 15: Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia, Taiwan (China), Thailand and India.

By

BEACHWOOD, Ohio, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Saber Healthcare Group announces a security incident that may have affected certain individuals’ information. On July 27, 2026, Saber detected a service outage affecting some of its internal and external computer systems. Once discovered, Saber immediately secured and isolated its systems and began an investigation with the help of outside cybersecurity experts. The investigation determined that an outside party gained access to Saber’s corporate computer network; and on July 27, 2026 that party encrypted a small portion of files, which is what caused the outage. Saber’s electronic medical record system was hosted and maintained by a separate outside provider, whose systems were not affected by this incident. Saber’s facilities access that system over the web and there was no evidence that the medical record database was accessed, modified, or copied. Using backup copies that were not affected, they restored the inaccessible files within 24 to 48 hours of discovering the outage, with no loss of data.

Saber conducted a review of the potentially affected files to determine what information they contain. The type of information varies by individual but may include their name and one or more of the following: date of birth, driver’s license/state issued identification number, health insurance information, medical information, financial account information, passport number, and/or Social Security number. On August 19, 2026, they completed their review and began locating address information to notify individuals directly through the mail. In an abundance of caution, they are offering individuals access to credit monitoring and identity protection services at no cost.

In response to this incident, Saber took immediate steps to secure its systems and engaged third-party specialists to assist in a thorough investigation and response. They have also implemented additional security measures to further minimize the risk of a similar incident occurring in the future. Saber has not detected ongoing unauthorized activity since these additional measures were put in place. For more information or to enroll in these services, individuals should contact the organization’s assistance line at 1-833-918-1128, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM ET, excluding holidays.

Individuals are encouraged to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud by reviewing credit reports/account statements and explanation of benefits forms for suspicious activity and to detect errors. Individuals may also place a fraud alert or credit freeze by contacting the credit reporting agencies: TransUnion 1-800-680-7289; Experian 1-888-397-3742; Equifax 1-888-298-0045. You can further educate yourself regarding identity theft, fraud alerts, credit freezes, and steps to protect your personal information by contacting the credit reporting bureaus, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), or their state Attorney General. The FTC may be reached at 600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. 20580; www.identitytheft.gov; 1-877-ID-THEFT (1-877-438-4338); and TTY: 1-866-653-4261.
