Spotify currently doesn't have an official companion app for the Apple Watch, but that's about to soon enough. Third-party app developer Andrew Chang had created an unofficial Spotify app called "Spotty" for Apple Watch users that also supported offline playback. After 9to5Mac published a write-up of the app, it exploded in popularity, which brought it to Spotify's attention. Chang was contacted by the music service regarding concerns about the app's name being too similar to "Spotify"; This led Chang to change the name to "Snowy". Shortly after this, Chang was contacted again to be hired...

Latest Google Allo update sets things up for chat backups
Google has been updating Allo with a bunch of new features (here, here, here, and here) lately, and with the latest 9.0 update to Google Allo we'll be seeing one feature that should have been implemented since the the app's launch: chat backup and restore. In 9to5Google's latest APK teardown, the team has found traces of software that set the app up for the eventual implementation of chat backups to either Google Drive or local storage (to a smartphone or external storage). Proof of this can be found in the code which reads: "Looks like your chats have recently been backed up. To...
New teardown shows us the innards of the Huawei P10
The Huawei P10 is the Chinese phonemaker's latest major smartphone release. Think of it like a smaller version of the Huawei Mate 9. Much smaller, in fact. The major difference between the Mate 9 and the P10 besides the size and battery capacity is the omission of an IR-blaster on the P10, which totally would have put the cherry on top. Left: Inside of the rear metal backing. Right: Chassis sandwiched between components and display. Source: MyFixGuide Anyway, back to the teardown. Since the P10 has a 5.1-inch screen, you can imagine that Huawei had to accommodate identical internals...

Today, OnLeaks has scored a slew of press photos for four upcoming Moto devices including: the Moto C and Moto C Plus, Moto E4, and Moto Z2. Let's start with the Moto C.

Sprint's Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, Verizon's Note5 and S6 edge+ all get Nougat
Good news if you own a Samsung Galaxy S6 or S6 edge purchased from Sprint. Likewise, if you have Verizon's Galaxy Note5 or S6 edge+. All four devices are now in the process of receiving updates to Android 7.0 Nougat, following in the footsteps of AT&T's Note5, for which the rollout commenced yesterday. Samsung has been gradually releasing this version to more and more handsets recently, and its rollouts show no signs of slowing down. As usual though, all of them are probably staged, which means it may take a few days for the update notification to arrive on your particular device. The new...
Huawei has sold 5 million Mate 9 units in the first four months
While we found out that the P9 series crossed the 12 million units sold threshold last month, so far Huawei has been less forthcoming with information regarding the Mate 9. That all changed today at a company event in China, where the slide you can see below was outed. Huawei is boasting that it's managed to sell more than 5 million Mate 9 units in the first four months of availability. This isn't mentioned specifically, but we assume that's a sum total for all of the different Mate 9 variants, including the Pro. The number represents a 36% growth from the performance of the Mate 8,...
HTC One X10 official poster leaks, hints at bigger battery
You probably remember the One X10 that leaked at the beginning of the year. Everyone expected to see the device at HTC's event on January 12, but the Taiwanese company decided to back off.

From the slogan "Big style meets bigger battery" you can be sure that HTC will bet on design and battery life as the device's key selling points. The poster also says the battery is going be a long-lasting one, but no official numbers are out. So far we know the device will allegedly come...
Huawei Mate 9 already running a test version of Android O
Huawei is wasting no time and has started work on porting the new Android O to its premier phablet, the Huawei Mate 9. It's early in the development stage, but some unique O features like picture in picture are already working. A ROM was unearthed by an XDA senior member, who provided the first glimpse of what's to come. The EMUI version is 5.1 - a tenth higher than the last update, but the Huawei P10 is already on v5.1 so this is likely not the final version of Huawei's custom skin. Huawei Mate 9 running a test version of Android O • The picture in picture feature The ROM...
LG G6 to gain facial recognition support in June
LG unveiled its flagship G6 a month before Samsung in order to get a head start over its competitor. Yet, the company is also working hard to make sure the G6 stays relevant once the Galaxy S8 hits the shelves and one of the steps it will take is match its competitor's facial recognition support. LG is planning to deliver that when it launches LG Pay in June. LG Electronics is partnering with facial recognition solutions firm Oez to deploy a 3D face-scanning technology.

There's still a little bit of waiting to be done on Samsung latest flagship pair. But even though the Galaxy S8 and S8+ are yet to hit shelves, there is already no shortage of various "test" videos on YouTube. Granted, things have been pretty tame so far, with most videos revolving around the unboxing experience and first look.

However, some of the more recognizable faces in this "destruction" niche have already managed to get their hands on the...
