Exactly as announced by an HTC exec yesterday, the rollout of the Android 7.0 Nougat update for the HTC 10 units sold by Verizon is now underway. This has been a long time coming, to say the least. Unlocked HTC 10 units sold in the US have been on the new OS version since last year, while other carriers such as T-Mobile and Sprint have already pushed it to their respective models. And now it's Verizon's turn. Once you get that coveted update notification, make sure you're on Wi-Fi or have enough signal on Big Red's network before you start the download. After you've applied the update,...

Galaxy S8 and S8+ won't face any supply issues, Samsung promises
Earlier today we told you that Samsung executives are confident that the Galaxy S8 will manage to outsell the highly successful Galaxy S7 from last year. Now courtesy of a new report from the company's home of South Korea we get additional details about how it's handling the launch. Samsung will make around 20 million units of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ in the initial production run, thus there should be no impediment for them to break sales records for the Korean company. Samsung's head of mobile, DJ Koh, has even promised that the duo will not see any supply issues whatsoever. The...

ZTE launches preview program for the Axon 7 Mini's Android 7.1.1 Nougat update
After having already released Android 7.1.1 Nougat for the bigger Axon 7, ZTE is now shifting its focus to the smaller (and lower-end) Axon 7 Mini. The company has announced a preview program for the Mini's Android 7.1.1 update. If you own such a device you can participate in the preview by registering at the official ZTE community forum. You will need to sign and strictly follow a Non-Disclosure Agreement, complete some time-sensitive tasks and surveys, as well as provide detailed bug reports when you encounter problems. If none of those things sound too complicated to you, then head...
Android Wear 2.0 rollout has been delayed because Google found a bug
To say that the state of the Android Wear 2.0 release is a mess would be an understatement. The new version of the wearable operating system was unveiled last year and its first release timeline was fall 2016. It didn't make that, being delayed until early 2017. Then everything finally seemed fine and it was supposed to make it to a smartwatch near you starting in February, which is when Google outed the official list of devices getting it. Yet here we are at the end of March and only a few hours ago did we hear anything about any smartwatches actually being updated to Android Wear 2.0....
Samsung DeX Station dock costs $149.99, is now up for pre-order
The DeX Station is one of the accessories that Samsung announced at yesterday's event for its upcoming Galaxy S8 and S8+ smartphones. However, unlike the new Gear VR or Gear 360 camera, the company didn't share any pricing details for the DeX. Today though it's started taking pre-orders for the device, which means we finally know how much it costs: $149.99. It will be shipping at some point in late April, with no less vague time frame available at the moment. For that $149.99 you're getting a dock that you place your S8 or S8+ in. You connect the DeX to a monitor, mouse, and...
Twitter doesn't count usernames towards a tweet's 140 characters anymore
Twitter's 140 character rule still exists, but the company has been taking some steps to mitigate it somewhat recently. The newest such move comes today, when it's announced that usernames aren't counted towards that 140 character tweet limit anymore. What this means in practice is that you will get slightly more space to express your thoughts when you're addressing other individual users of the service, and a lot more space in group conversations. From now on who you're replying to will appear above the tweet and not within the tweet text, so you have more characters for the actual...
Cristiano Ronaldo teases the ZTE nubia Z17 mini ahead of its April 6 unveiling
ZTE's nubia sub-brand is going to unveil a new smartphone at an event on April 6. Invites have already gone out, and the TENAA listing for said handset has appeared already, giving us a pretty complete idea about its specs. The rumors say it's going to be called nubia Z17 mini, and today football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to tease it a bit. The image you can see above has been posted to his Instagram account, with the following statement attached: Just finished shooting with @nubiasmartphone very impressed by the dual camera! Looking forward to the product launch on...
Samsung Galaxy S8 Microsoft Edition comes with even more bloatware
Admit it: you like the Galaxy S8 and S8+, which Samsung unveiled yesterday. But if there's one thing that you feel is lacking, it's the number of virtual assistants that come pre-installed. After all, it's just two of them - the Google Assistant and Samsung's Bixby. But what if we told you that there's a special edition Galaxy S8 out there that has no less than three assistants built-in, all eagerly anticipating your commands? This isn't a dream, it's reality. It's called Galaxy S8 Microsoft Edition, and you can pre-order one from Microsoft's brick-and-mortar stores in the US. The S8 is...
iFixit tears down new iPad, finds parts from Air 1 and 2
iFixit has performed its ritualistic teardown of the latest iPad from Apple that was announced last week. This gives us a closer look at everything that's inside. The primary difference is the chipset, which is the same Apple A9 that is found inside the iPhone 6s and the iPhone SE. But there are some other changes too. For one, the new iPad is thicker than the Air 2 that it replaces and is almost as thick as the original iPad Air. This comes with a corresponding increase in battery size, which at 32.9Wh is larger than that in the Air 2 and roughly same as the one inside the...
Galaxy S8 to beat the S7 in sales, Samsung says
Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ will beat their predecessors' sales record for the first year, said DJ Koh, Head of Mobile Business at Samsung Electronics. That's despite the new S8 cost of $750/€809, and S8+ price of $850/€909 - a significant increase over the S7 duo. Samsung's latest flagship is one of the most hotly anticipated devices of 2017. Since it's the first major smartphone release after the Galaxy Note7 fiasco, the Korean company has high expectations for its market performance. Earlier this month analysts gave mixed forecasts how the device will position itself...
Samsung details the Galaxy S8 camera
While the year-old 12MP camera of the Galaxy S7 is hanging around, Samsung has improved it on the Galaxy S8 with clever software and use of image stacking thanks to a snappier Exynos chipset. In an article dedicated to the new camera Samsung lays out all the improvements the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ bring in the camera department. The most meaningful upgrade looks to be the Multi-frame image processing. With it the camera takes three photos instead of one and stacks them for a sharper, less noisy image. This technique works for digitally-zoomed photos too and better yet Samsung says...
Telegram rolls out voice calling feature in Western Europe
Telegram has introduced voice calling feature in its popular messaging application. The feature is now live in the latest update released on iOS and Android, but is only available in Western Europe. The company has promised that it will soon be released in the rest of the world. Just like messages, Telegram uses end to end encryption for its voice calls, which can be confirmed by comparing the four emoji on screen, which act as a verification key and would be identical for both callers if the call is encrypted. Telegram uses a neural network to analyze your call metrics to...
Just-in: Oppo F3 Plus
Say hello to the Oppo F3 Plus or if you prefer its stage name - the Selfie Expert. The F3 Plus made its official public appearance only days ago but it's already here at HQ, dressed to impress and ready to get the GSMArena review treatment. But before we get to review tests and scores, our initial impressions follow. One of the first things to notice is its size - this is a large device. It packs a 6-inch display but despite the sizeable screen diagonal, the phone feels manageable in one hand. Around the back we see Oppo's signature "Six-String" antenna strips. While not as...
Meizu giving away five M5 Note units
The Meizu M5 Note is a decent mid-ranger with an attractive design, and now you have the chance to get one for free by participating in the company's giveaway that will see five units get new owners. The rules are rather funny - you have to write your name on a sticky note, add #MeizuNotes and stick it on someone else's back. Then just take a picture or video and post it on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram (or all three, if you prefer) with the hashtag #MeizuNotes. The company will give five M5 Note devices to five lucky participants. The campaign was announced on Meizu's...
Samsung Pay adds support for Visa Checkout
Samsung is teaming up with Visa to add Visa Checkout support to Samsung Pay. Visa Checkout is supported by hundreds of thousands of retailers and merchants around the world and works with a variety of cards, not only Visa ones. People with a Samsung Pay device with fingerprint authentication will see a Visa Checkout/Samsung Pay co-branded buttons on merchants websites, if they add support for Visa Checkout. If you're wondering how Visa Checkout differs from PayPal - it's meant for making purchases while PayPal is a service that on top of purchases lets people send money to other...

A Chinese leakster well known for his tips about the already announced Galaxy S8 teased some more spicy information on the next big things from Samsung - the foldable Galaxy X and the Galaxy Note8. Samsung GALAXY Note 8 in Q4.:)— 萌萌的电教 (@mmddj_china) March 29, 2017 In a vague tweet mmddj_china suggested that Galaxy Note8 will be available in Q4 2017, leaving followers guessing is he talking about reveal or specific market launch.

Samsung Galaxy S8 (with Exynos 8895) benchmarked
The Samsung Galaxy S8 had a busy night yesterday, but there's no time to rest - the first benchmarks are in, so let's see how the new flagship performs against the competition. Note that this is an Exynos 8895 unit, there's also a Snapdragon 835 version not included in these scores. Both should perform practically identically or so Samsung claims. We open up with a narrow win in AnTuTu 6 against the iPhone 7 Plus, which is still one of the best all-round performers. The performance increase from the previous Exynos chip is tangible and ahead of the Snapdragon 821 used by some of the...

Honor sports the slogan "For The Brave" and it introduces another brave idea - a personalized smartphone named Honor BFF with new operating system and customized voice setting.

Google brings its Calendar app to iPad
