February security update hitting Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime

Nougat-powered Xiaomi Mi Mix spotted on Geekbench
Looks like the Nougat update for the Xiaomi Mi Mix is currently under testing as an Android 7.0-powered unit has been spotted on popular benchmarking website Geekbench. This shouldn't really come as a surprise as the Chinese company already confirmed back in December last year that the Mi Mix Nougat update is coming soon. Sadly, there's currently no information on exactly when the roll out will begin, but here's hoping that testing goes smoothly and the update arrives sooner than later. Source

Samsung's SDI facility in China briefly caught fire, Note7 batteries could be to blame
Early this morning on February 8, a small area of Samsung's SDI facility in China caught fire. The local fire department said that the cause of the fire was due to waste products including faulty batteries, probably the same ones that were in the Galaxy Note7. The local officials said that "Material that caught fire was lithium batteries inside the production workshops and some half-finished products." Thankfully, the fire was put out with no casualties reported, that's after the local fire department of Tianjin showed up with 110 firefighters and 19 fire engines. That's how you fight...

It will first be seen on the just-unveiled LG Watch Sport and Watch Style, which go on sale on Friday, but "in the coming weeks" the new version of the OS is also making it to older devices.

AT&T, Verizon detail their pricing and release time frames for the LG Watch Sport
Following LG and Google's official announcement earlier today, AT&T and Verizon have unveiled their pricing and release time frames for the LG Watch Sport. The new Android Wear flagship will be up for grabs at AT&T starting on February 10, which is this Friday. You'll get one by paying $17.50 per month for 20 months using an AT&T installment plan.

Verizon outs its own Android Wear 2.0 smartwatch, the Wear24
If you still don't think that wearables are the future, Verizon begs to differ. Hot on the heels of today's announcement of the LG Watch Sport and Watch Style (co-designed with Google) and the official release of Android Wear 2.0, the carrier has decided to do something unprecedented: unveil an own-brand wearable. It's called Wear24, and what you see below is the only official image that Verizon has shared so far. It will run Android Wear 2.0, and will obviously be exclusive to the carrier nicknamed Big Red.

Just In: Huawei Mate 9 Pro hands-on
Huawei is a company on the rise and part of their success is the high-end positioning of a select few of their devices. But it's not only the market segment they've chosen, it's also about the consistent product quality that they deliver. As a Huawei Mate 9 user, you can understand my excitement when the Mate 9 Pro arrived for a review today. Mate 9 is an amazing phone with an incredible battery life and a fabulous Leica dual-cam sensor and the Mate 9 Pro is even better. Our unit came in Haze Gold. Unlike the Titanium Grey device, this one actually is golden all over - both on the...
Samsung might showcase a foldable phone an WMC, but only to select few
Where there's smoke, there's fire and all the recent talk about foldable displays and handsets is likely no exception. Samsung has been particularly active on this front. If the rumored Q3-Q4 2017 release timeframe does hold up, then we could expect early prototypes to already be in existence. Samsung foldable phone concept A new rumor strengthens that hope, claiming Samsung will be bringing a foldable phone, perhaps even a few to MWC 2017. This definitely trumps the announcement of the Galaxy Tab S3 on the excitement chart, but before you get your hopes too high, the event will...

Sony Xperia XA2 spy shots show off its square design
It's no secret that we loved the Xperia XA more than some of its pricier X-siblings and now there's a new one coming out. The Sony Xperia XA2 or XA (2017) if you will, maintains the rectangular look of its predecessor and it even has sharper corners. This matches well with leaked images, renders and videos. Leaks aside, the proper debut of the phone should be in Barcelona during the MWC. Sony Xperia XA2 (allegedly): Square-shaped and Nougat-powered The source of this new photo claims Sony will sell this as the ‘Xperia XA2'. The photo is of poor quality but you can just make...

Android's latest version Nougat has finally passed the 1% mark in the Google OS distribution chart. 7.0 and 7.1 combined now represent 1.2% of the total number of devices running Android - more than Froyo and Gingerbread each.

Compare that to the Apple figures, where the latest iOS 10 powers 76% of devices, and a mere 6% of iPads and iPhones are more than one version behind. Source

Nokia 150 hits the Netherlands as HMD prepares for European expansion
This isn't the Nokia launch that the Dutch may have hoped for, but the Nokia 150 is now available in the Netherlands. The black model will set you back a meager €37, the white version will arrive at a later date. There's something to be said about the reliability of a phone with a month-long standby and 22 hours of talk time. By the way, this is HMD's first phone back in Europe and even if you're not interested in it, a certain Nokia 6 shouldn't be far behind. We're eager to hear about HMD/Nokia's expansion plans at the MWC. Now, some carriers are killing off their 2G networks...

Those aren't flash sales, the Nokia 6 just sells out very fast
JD.com has put the Nokia 6 on sale several times now, but every time units run out in minutes. However, an HMD official clarified that these aren't "flash sales" that are a popular method of online sales in China. Nope, it's just a case of "they can't make them fast enough." The Chinese New Year celebrations didn't help supply, but it's almost over and New Nokia's first phone should be back on sale in China again soon. Just not in White.

LG trademarks 'LG G6 One', and some letter variations
LG is playing the trademark bingo and just filed a bunch of other LG G6 related names. Joining the G6 Compact and G6 Lite are the G6 One and the G6 alphabet soup. Seriously, G6 C, G6 L, G6 M. What they are and whether they will be used at all, is too early to tell. The C and L could be Compact and Lite respectively. What would be the M then, Mini? One could hope. And "One" name is proving popular among tech makers, usually not for the first product in a line (go ask HTC or Microsoft). Here's the thing - if all these prove to be names of accessories or ones trademarked because...

In essence, it is an app for Windows or macOS that sings and...
Meizu M5s set to be unveiled next week
A new Meizu smartphone is set to be unveiled next week. The Chinese company has started sending out invites for an event, which is scheduled for February 15. The invite image reveals that one of the key features of the device will be fast charging. While the invite doesn't specifically reveal the name of the phone, it'd be reasonable to assume that the M5s would be the star of the event. The device has already cleared TENAA, been spotted in benchmark listings, as well as leaked in images. Specs-wise, from what we've collected so far, the device is powered by an octa-core 1.3GHz...
