LG G6 gets its first TV commercial just as Samsung is about to unveil the S8
In less than 24 hours, Samsung's Galaxy S8 and S8+ will finally be official, following dozens of leaks that came out over the past few weeks. After that moment, we're expecting the Korean company to start a full-on marketing assault across the world, since it needs the S8 duo to break sales records - especially seeing as how its other high-end devices aren't doing very well. This means that LG probably has only a few more hours during which its G6 has the spotlight all to itself (well, as much as those constant S8 leaks let that happen). So the other Korean company has just outed the G6's...
Samsung pushes new software update to Gear S3, many new features on board
Samsung's latest smartwatches are now in the process of receiving a new software update. Arriving as build R770XXU2BQC5 or R760XXU2BQC5 depending on whether you have the Gear S3 classic or frontier, the new release comes with quite a few new features. New Date and Music complications can be added to watch faces, there's a new auto-refresh feature for altitude, and customizable pace-coaching and HR zone info for running have made their way into S Health. S Voice now lets you set a date and time when creating a reminder, and News Briefing has an improved UI. Find My Device gets a new option...
Facebook launches 24-hour Stories and camera effects in its main mobile app
So far, Facebook has aped Snapchat's Stories in Instagram, WhatsApp, and even Messenger. So it makes sense that the main Facebook app for mobile platforms wouldn't be able to escape the Stories invasion either. And in fact it hasn't. Today the social network is announcing Facebook Stories. Yes, that's Snapchat Stories inside Facebook. They will be displayed like on Instagram, above your News Feed. And of course every photo and video you share in a Story disappears after 24 hours. By default content you put inside a Story only appears there. In order to make it show up on your Timeline or...
ZTE is unveiling a new nubia device on April 6
The nubia Z17 mini didn't get unveiled last week despite many rumors claiming it would be the star of the March 21 event for ZTE's sub-brand. On that occasion, the Chinese company outed the nubia M2, M2 Lite, and N2 instead. However the nubia Z17 mini could still be in the works. Today ZTE sent out invites for yet another nubia event, this one taking place on April 6. The image accompanying the invite (which you can see on the left) has a design that strongly hints at a dual rear camera system for the handset that will become official next month. Yesterday exactly such a phone got...
Huawei makes the Honor 8 Pro official in Russia
Not once, but twice so far we've heard that Huawei plans on launching the Honor V9 in markets other than China as the Honor 8 Pro. And now the move has become official because Huawei's Russian arm already has a listing up for the Honor 8 Pro. As you'd expect, the device seems to be identical to the V9 for the Chinese market. Thus, the Honor 8 Pro packs a 5.7-inch QHD touchscreen and a dual 12 MP rear camera with 4K video capture support. The handset is powered by the in-house developed Kirin 960 chipset just like the P10 and the Mate 9. This is aided by a whopping 6GB of RAM....
Samsung may not be able to make enough chipsets for the Galaxy S8
Somehow we've made it to the eve of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ announcement, and despite the fact that past leaks have told us almost everything we need to know about the duo, some questions still remain. We've touched upon a few of those before, but here's a new one: will Samsung's fab be able to churn out enough Exynos 8895 and Snapdragon 835 chipsets for the S8 phones? A new report from the company's home of South Korea says that's unlikely. According to some unnamed "industry sources", Samsung is facing "hurdles" in securing enough SoCs for the S8 and S8+, because the production of the...
Google Home and Wifi land in the UK on April 6
Last month a Google executive confirmed the fact that the Google Home smart speaker would arrive in the UK too, following the initial launch in the US. The time frame given at that point was "this summer". The good news is that the Home will land in the UK earlier than that. Today Google officially announced that its smart speaker will become available in the UK on April 6 for £129. You'll be able to purchase one from the Google Store, Argos, Dixons, John Lewis, and Maplin. At some later point it will also be sold by EE. Google Home The colored bases will retail for £18 if you...
HTC U (Ocean) with touch-sensitive frame launches in April
HTC has already unveiled two devices in its lineup for 2017, the U Ultra and U Play. And soon there will be a third to complete the family, according to a new leak. It will be simply called HTC U, and will serve as the successor to last year's HTC 10, thus being the new mainstream flagship smartphone from the Taiwanese company. The HTC U is codenamed Ocean, and it turns out that it will incorporate technology that leaked through a concept video in 2016. This was outed by an HTC designer in September, and portrays what will be marketed as Edge Sense (the concept video calls it Sense Touch,...
Truecaller 8 brings payment system, Duo integration, integrated Truemessenger
Truecaller has announced version 8.0 of its caller ID service and it is the biggest one yet. The company outlined the new features that will be coming with this update, some immediately and others at a later date. The first one is the integration with Truemessenger. Truemessenger was a standalone SMS app for Android that would identify messages from unknown numbers and also had a built-in spam filter. As of version 8, Truemessenger will now be integrated into Truecaller itself on Android so you no longer need to have two apps installed. Truecaller also added flash...
Oppo R11 could offer a dual camera on the back, to complement F3's dual selfie cam
Oppo has had some innovative camera designs, but is relatively new to the dual camera field. The F3 Plus was announced just days ago with a dual selfie camera, but rumor has it that the Oppo R11 will bring two cameras to the back. At this year's MWC, the company brought the world's first dual cam setup with 5x optical zoom (using a periscope system). It's too early to tell, but a premium line like the R series could conceivably get such a high-end imaging setup. The design is similar to the Oppo R9s (at least going by the image) and there will be a Plus model too - a 5.5" Oppo R11 and a...
Huawei P10 now available in the UK
The Huawei P10 is now available in the UK at £570 for a SIM-free unit. Note that we only found the 64GB model in UK stores, we're yet to see a 32GB option. Unlocked-Mobile can deliver a Graphite Black P10 to the UK tomorrow (there's international delivery too). A SIM-free unit will set you back £570. If you want the Dazzling Gold version, you'll have to wait until April 4. Carphone Warehouse has it in Graphite Black and Dazzling Gold, you can expect delivery by March 31 (this Friday). The SIM-free model is £570, but you can also get a new plan for £41 a month with EE or £42 with...
Huawei P10 gets its first update, brings camera-related fixes
The Huawei P10 has started receiving its first update. Arriving as build number VTR-LO9C432B113 and weighing in at 245MB, the update brings a couple of camera-related fixes, as well as optimizations for performance and stability. An issue where the camera couldn't launch with Google Voice has been fixed. Also fixed is the issue with the camera preview screen, which did not display correctly in certain situations. The update doesn't bump the Android OS version, which stays at 7.0. Security patch level also remains at February 1. Via
Green Oppo R9s launching on April 1
Over a couple of weeks after we spottedit, the Fresh Green color variant of the Oppo R9s has been officially confirmed. The device will go on sale later this week - April 1. Pricing information is currently not known, but it shouldn't be different from other R9s color options given that the red model, which was launched separately back in December last year also carried the same price tag.

Samsung Z4 gets Wi-Fi certified as well
Nearly a couple of weeks after it was spotted in the database of the Federal Communications Commission in the US, the Samsung Z4 has been certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA). Nothing much is currently known about the device, except that it carries a model number of SM-Z400, offers dual SIM support, and packs in a 2,050mAh battery. Also, the device is said to be powered by Tizen OS 3.0, making it the first phone of its kind. Via
LG G6 likely to launch in Canada today
LG might have announced April 7 as the launch date for its G6 smartphone in Canada, but looks like the device may go on sale in the country as soon as today (March 28). According to a new report, carrier Bell has secured early inventory and will start selling the phone immediately. "Stores will begin to receive the all new LG G6 devices as soon as tomorrow, March 28th, and you can sell them right away — that's a full week before launch," the report cites an internal Bell document as saying. Just so that you know, those in Canada who purchase the handset before April 3 will get a...
March security update hits Samsung Galaxy J1 mini and Galaxy Core Prime
The Samsung Galaxy J1 mini as well as the Galaxy Core Prime smartphones have also started receiving the latest security patch. The update arrives as build number J105YDVU0AQC1 and G361HXXU0AQC1, respectively. Aside from Android fixes for the month of March, the update is also said to include some optimizations, enhancements, as well as regular bug-fixes. As is usually the case with OTA roll outs, it may take some time for the update to hits your device. Meanwhile, if you feel impatient, you can manually check for it by heading to your handset's Settings menu. Via
