You are the 1%. Seriously, 70% of voters in our recent poll either already have Android 7.0 Nougat or are within weeks of getting it. That's way above average. Only 10% have installed a custom ROM to get it too. That's fewer people than those who have accepted their fate and use a pre-7.0 version of Android, 14%. It's interesting to note that some people complained about the new software. Google and phone makers did move things around, which can be annoying if you were used to how things were on Marshmallow. Then there were a few smug iOS users, secure in their update future, and...

OpenSignal replies to Verizon's statement about OpenSingal's report
This is the third post of a trilogy, if you aren't sure of what's going on with Verizon and Open Signal, let's briefly recap: On Wednesday, OpenSignal released a report that used raw data from its crowd-sourced speed tests to compare actual performance. The resulting report had Verizon and T-Mobile in a tie. The next day (Thursday), Verizon tweeted a response to OpenSignal's report and pretty much tried to dismiss their findings based on the methodology of crowd-sourced data, claiming that crowd-sourced data is not as good as "drive-testing" (riding around which does "a better job of...
Only the 5-inch iPhone 8 to have a glass back, wireless charging
Another day, another contradicting iPhone rumor - when will it end? Well, next September is a pretty safe assumption. Anyway, in today's batch of supposed specs for the future iPhone we have a 5-inch model that will be fitted with wireless (or rather, inductive) charging capability. Based on 'reliable sources' from Taiwan, Japanese blog Macotacara reports that only this 5-inch model will have a glass back thus enabling the inductive charging. Just the other day another source claimed that all three models will be able to be charged wirelessly. Current iPhone lineup: 4" iPhone SE,...
Google App v6.13 to bring Google Assistant to non-Pixels, or at least maybe
Google's personal assistant, quite creatively called Google Assistant, is so far only officially available on the Pixel and Pixel XL, as smartphones go. However, a new alpha release of the Google app (v6.13) for users signed up to the beta channel suggest that might be changing in the near future. The folks over at Android Police report that the app enables the Assistant by holding the Home button (instead of Now on Tap) on at least one Galaxy Note5 (running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow) and a Nexus 6P (latest 7.1.1 Nougat). Then again, another Nexus 6P refuses to behave this way, so it's...
[Flames] Red Meizu Pro 6 Plus shows up in live images
Meizu is no stranger to unorthodox paint jobs and last summer we saw the Pro 6 in what was dubbed the Flames Red color scheme. Well, the Pro 6 Plus has now shown up on Weibo in a new color outside of the usual Pink-Rose-Gold spectrum. Meizu Pro 6 Plus in red It's an even brighter and more striking hue than the Pro 6 before it, and if a color deserves to be called Flames Red, this is it. Side by side with the Pro 6 non-Plus you can see the difference, and if that's not enough red for your eyes, the towel used for the background complements the two phones with yet another...

Weekly poll: What is your ideal screen resolution?
Doesn't everybody love a good pixel war? Just a decade ago QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) screens were considered high-res and now you can even find 1080p displays on phones under $200. We even saw a 4K screen in the meantime - the Xperia Z5 Premium seemed like a VR fan's dream only Sony forgot to deliver a VR headset with it. Or was there more to the company's decision of reverting to 1080p for its next-gen flagship? Anyway, we aren't here to discuss Sony's device strategy, but merely ask your opinion on what is the ideal resolution. 720p is a clear favorite when it comes to energy...
