It features a 12MP rear as well as front camera, and runs Android Nougat (version 7.0) out of the box. There's currently no information on when the device will be made official, and what price tag it will carry. Via

Of late, users of Microsoft OneNote have been experiencing sync issue with the software giant's cloud storage service OneDrive.

Mysterious ZTE Z839 gets WiFi certified
A new ZTE smartphone has been spotted. The device in question carries a model number of Z839, and has received WiFi certification from the WiFi Alliance (WFA). The device is powered by Android Nougat (version 7.1.1). Sadly, and as is usually the case, the listing reveals nothing else as far as the phone's key specifications are concerned. However, needless to say, we'll keep you updated as and when we hear more about the handset. Source | Via
Instagram for Android now works offline
At Facebook's annual developer conference in San Jose, Instagram announces the Android app will be getting offline capabilities that will allow you to continue scrolling and browsing, even when you find yourself outside of a serviceable area. Instagram's Stories got some attention late last week as the app's user count has officially surpassed that of Snapchat's. The irony is real here. Anyway, as Instagram's amount of monthly active users rises, it has also decided to go the same route as the official Facebook app and offer a proper offline mode. When using Instagram offline, you'll...
Google mistakenly pushes Dogfood build of May's security update to Pixel XL owners
Google hasn't had the best luck this year when it comes to software updates. Google's updates have addressed things that needed to be fixed as well as broken things that were working just fine before an update. The Pixel XL received an unexpected OTA notification today. Source: Android Police A number of readers have contacted Android Police as they received an OTA notification for a software update that reads: "CONFIDENTIAL INTERNAL ONLY - This is a confidential Googlers-only OTA to update your Pixel XL with May 2017 security patches." The update takes up about 62MB of storage....
Deal: Moto Z with JBL Speaker Mod for £300 from Carphone Warehouse
Now that the Galaxy S8 has received its first large wave of review content, the spot light is now turning toward Lenovo (Moto) as several new Moto devices have appeared around the internet in the past few weeks, amongst them the Moto Z2. If you like to stay one year behind all the latest devices, it couldn't hurt to go with last year's Moto Z. Today through Friday, you can pick up a Moto Z with a free JBL Soundboost Speaker Mod for £300 at Carphone Warehouse in the UK. Sadly, the only color available is the black model. The JBL Soundboost Speaker is like having a really loud...
Google Maps' Timeline feature is now supported on iOS
Although Google Maps' Timeline feature isn't brand new, starting today, iOS users will also be able to access this feature directly from the iOS version of the app. Previously, the only way for iOS users to see this was by logging into a desktop and signing into the appropriate Google account. Google has been collecting this information for years at this point, but if the idea that Google has a record of your whereabouts bothers you, you can always turn the feature off. We've certainly referred to the timeline when we can't recall the name of a restaurant or if we were trying to recall how...
Tumblr's Cabana app lets you watch videos together with your friends in real time
Today Tumblr is making its debut in the social app space for mobile platforms. Its entrant is called Cabana, and basically it's an app that lets you watch the same video together with your friends in real time. You hang out with up to six friends in a "room" inside Cabana, where you share videos from YouTube (other sources may be included in the future). You watch these together with your friends, in sync and in real time. While that's going on, you also video chat with your buddies, and your faces are all there in the app's screen. This, Tumblr staff says, really recreates "the experience...
AMD announces RX500 series desktop graphics cards
After about a year of announcing the RX 400 series of budget and mid-range graphics cards, AMD is back with the RX 500 series. Based on an updated Polaris architecture, the RX 500 series is meant to replace the RX 400 and for those who are planning on upgrading from the R9 series or the NVIDIA equivalent graphics cards from over two years ago or more. Meanwhile, RX 400 series owners need not pay attention as the performance gain here is not worth upgrading to. The RX 500 series consists of four cards for now, the RX 580, the RX 570, the RX 560 and the RX 550. The RX 580 has the...
ZTE Axon 7 is now just $329.99 unlocked
Earlier today ZTE sort of announced the Axon 7s, which may or may not be a successor for the Axon 7 from last year. We say "sort of" since the only thing that's been revealed about the new phone is that it's powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 821 chipset, instead of the 820 found in the Axon 7. It's still unclear what else has changed (if anything), and whether the 7s will be sold alongside the 7 or will replace it entirely. It seems likely that the latter option might happen, however, since we're already seeing the best price ever on the Axon 7, at least in the US. Normally priced at...
PlayStation 4 Slim will have a 1TB HDD starting this month, price remains the same
Sony's PlayStation 4 Slim console is getting an ever so slight refresh. Only one thing will change: the capacity of its built-in hard drive. Up until this point that's been 500GB, but later this month in the US Sony will begin selling PS4 Slim units with a 1TB HDD instead. The good news is that the price will remain unchanged. You'll still pay $299.99 for a PS4 Slim, it will just arrive with more storage than before. At this price the console will be $50 cheaper than Microsoft's Xbox One S with a 1TB HDD, which may help Sony sell even more units. That is, of course, unless its...
Android Pay teams up with PayPal in the US
Android Pay has steadily been adding support for more and more banks in the past few months, but soon there's going to be another partner for Google's payment system: PayPal. Support for PayPal accounts is coming to Android Pay in the US "within the next few weeks". You'll be able to initiate the pairing of your PayPal account to your Android Pay account from either of the eponymous mobile apps for Android. Then when you make a payment through Android Pay, your PayPal account's balance will be used. At some point in the coming months PayPal will add the ability to use the cards that...
Snapchat adds World Lenses, bringing AR objects to your phone's rear camera
When you think of Snapchat's Lenses, you're surely picturing some of those incredibly goofy selfies - people becoming puppies, face-swapping with others, puking rainbows, the likes. That's because up until now Lenses were made specifically for the front-facing camera in your smartphone. Not anymore, though. Today Snapchat is introducing World Lenses. Like the original Lenses, these are digital objects (or text) that you can add to your shots. Except now they can be placed anywhere in the world that your main, rear-facing camera sees. Hence the name. To use the new feature, while...
Sony Xperia XZ Premium prototype is on sale in a Romanian pawn shop
Sony's Xperia XZ Premium is expected to become available at the beginning of June, at least in some markets. That means there's still a lot of waiting to do if you're craving one, and the situation has been made worse by the fact that Sony chose to announce it at MWC in February - more than three months before its release. However, if you're impatient and absolutely have to have an XZ Premium in hand as soon as possible, there is a solution - albeit an expensive one if you don't live in Bucharest, Romania. If you were there, you could just head to one specific pawn shop and pick up a...
Xiaomi Mi 6 press renders leak just a few hours ahead of unveiling
Tomorrow Xiaomi is holding a special event during which it will announce its latest flagship smartphone, the Mi 6. Now, mere hours before that, a couple of official press renders showing the device have been leaked in China. These show us the handset in three color versions - white, black, and purple. The 'double glass sandwich' design is obvious from the renders, and the use of dual rear cameras is confirmed too. According to a last-minute benchmark run in GFXBench, those two sensors each have 12 MP resolution. As you'd expect, you'll be able to capture UHD videos with the rear assembly....
Samsung Galaxy S8+ teardown reveals poor repairability
Samsung's Galaxy S8 and S8+ are finally becoming available this week, following a long hype period. To get you in the mood for picking up one, or receiving your pre-ordered unit, the folks over at iFixit have done what they do best. Namely, they've decided to take apart an S8+ and let us know how easy it would be to repair. Spoiler alert: not very. The device has scored a measly 4 out of 10 on the repairability scale, where 10 is easiest to repair. The phone's use of front and back glass means there's double the chance you crack something, and these glass panels are held in place by strong...
Samsung Galaxy S8+ review: Infinity and beyond
What was once an impossible fantasy - a sketch in someone's book, a render of an ambitious concept - is now a reality. These are just some thoughts that come to mind holding the Galaxy S8+, the big and bold next step Samsung took.
Huawei launches two MediaPad T3 devices
An 8" Huawei MediaPad T3 appeared on TENAA two months ago and now the time for an official release has come. Huawei launched the device in two variants on its website - the already leaked 8" version with Snapdragon 425 along with an even more affordablе and even less powerful 7" variant with Mediatek MT8127 with 1.3GHz quad-core CPU. The bigger brother of the duo is the Huawei MediaPad T3 8.0. Along with a more powerful chipset, it has two RAM+storage combos - 2 GB + 16 GB or 3 GB + 32 GB. The 8" IPS display comes with with 1280x800 pixel resolution, and the OS is Android 7.0,...
The anniversary iPhone will arrive later than expected
We got new info on the upcoming iPhone 8 but the news isn't good. Bloomberg reported that the 10th anniversary iPhone will hit the shelves one to two months later than expected. Apple will eventually announce three phones in September - two upgrades of previous devices and one entirely new device, reportedly with curved OLED screen and a ‘Function Area' instead of a home button. The company wants to incorporate the fingerprint sensor under the OLED, but the implementation is taking longer than expected, which in turn pushes back production schedule. The current fingerprint...
Google updates Google Earth before Earth Day
After many years of stagnation, Google has finally decided to do something cool with Google Earth. So on the eve of Earth Day, Google has released a new version of Google Earth for the web and Android. Google Earth was always about exploration and the new version takes that further. With a feature called Voyager, Google has teamed up with a bunch of organizations to create guided tours where you select a particular tour and then go through all the places and during this the globe spins and zooms to the point mentioned in the tour along with a brief description. Google has also...
ZTE unveils Axon 7s with Snapdragon 821
ZTE extends the life of the Axon 7 even further - there's a new upgraded version, which sports a Snapdragon 821 chipset (up from the 820). However, it's not clear if it has 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage like the previous spec bump. Really, that's all ZTE's press release says and their website is yet to be updated with the 7s model. We did notice that the speaker grill design has changed, but there's no info on any changes to the stereo speakers or the Dolby Atoms. Anyway, we think it's a safe bet that the 5.5" AMOLED screen with QHD resolution is unchanged, same for the 20MP main...
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 getting latest security update
Samsung has started pushing out a new update to the Galaxy Tab S3. Arriving as build number T825XXU1AQD6 and currently only hitting the LTE variant of the tablet, the update brings Android security fixes for April. Aside from the latest security patch, the update also includes some system improvements as well as regular bug fixes. As is usually the case with OTA roll outs, it may take some time for the update notification to pop up on your device. You can manually check for the update by heading to your handset's Settings menu. Via
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ go on pre-order in India tomorrow
The Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ will go on pre-order in India tomorrow, exclusively on Flipkart. It's not yet clear when the units will ship out (we should learn that tomorrow). Chances are in-store availability will coincide with the global availability (April 21). Even though we're less than 24 hours away, the price is also yet unknown. Local publication Hindustan Times speculates it will be in the range INR 55,000 to INR 60,000 (i.e. slightly higher than the US price at current exchange rates). It seems that Galaxy fans in India will be getting the Exynos incarnation of the S8...
Huawei Watch 2 officially available in the US, 10 free weeks of Google Music

Today, you can pick up a Huawei Watch 2 at Best Buy Stores or online at Best Buy, Amazon, Newegg, B&H, Jet.com, Target.com, and Walmart.com.

As a reminder, Google Play Music also includes YouTube Red, which lets you watch YouTube Original content or just watch the regular ol'...
Nougat update starts hitting Asus Zenfone 3 Laser
Asus has started pushing out a new update to its ZenFone 3 Laser (ZC551KL) smartphone. Arriving as version V14.2015.1701.13, the update brings Android Nougat version 7.0. Aside from the new OS, the update also includes several other changes. For example, it enables FET VoLTE and VoWiFi. Quick Settings now supports multiple pages, and the "Ringtone & Notifications" volume bar has been split into "Ringtone" and "Notification" volume bars on "Volume Panel" and "Sound & Vibration" Settings. Several things have been removed as well, including the "Share Link" app, as well as app...
De Billas makes the Samsung Gear S3 classic precious with 24K gold plating
We have to admit we're not huge fans of gold plated phones, but a gold plated smartwatch does make a lot more sense - luxury mechanical watches often flaunt gold or other precious metals. If you feel the same, you can snag a Samsung Gear S3 plated with 24K gold. It will set you back $600 (double the price of a regular S3 classic). De Billas boasts about applying two layers of gold "with a high thickness." Also, nickel is not used for the plating process (you can develop a nickel allergy after a prolonged exposure). 24K gold plated Samsung Gear S3 classic (by De Billas) De...
ITSKINS unleashes its range of Galaxy S8 and S8+ cases and bumpers
ITSKINS unveiled its range of Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ cases and bumpers. The Zero Gel ($25 for a two pack) adds the least amount of bulk, but also the least protection - the slim, transparent case is rated for only 1m falls. Spectrum ($20 for one) is where things get more serious - it's translucent too, but has thicker air pockets that can absorb the shock from 2m falls. ITSKINS: Zero Gel • Spectra • Spectra Vision Spectra ($30) is a flip cover with various finishes, imitating carbon fiber or cloth. Spectra Vision (also $30) keeps the flip transparent so you can see...
Samsung Galaxy S8 becomes Korea's most pre-ordered phone
As expected, the number of Korean pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S8 has hit the 1 million milestone, making it the most pre-ordered smartphone in the company's home country. It's been 10 days since pre-orders for the handset went live in Korea. The pre-order figure stood at 720,000 in the first week, meaning nearly 300,000 more units were pre-ordered in the last 3 days. The tech giant is targeting to sell a total of 60 million units of the flagship. And markets experts are suggesting that the company could well hit the 50 million mark this year alone. While the phone is set to...
Gionee S10 arrives on TENAA, specs listed
Two months ago Gionee announced its first selfie-centered smartphones - the Gionee A1 (along with the bigger A1 Plus) and now another phone from the Chinese company is coming to town. The Gionee S10 appeared on TENAA along with most of the specs. The Gionee S10 has 5.5" screen with Full HD resolution and is powered by 2.0 GHz octa-core CPU. The RAM is 4GB, and there is 64 GB internal storage, expandable to 128 GB via microSD card. The device runs on Android 7.0, but we expect to see the Amigo OS 4.0 (or above) on top of it. Dual-camera setup is not a new concept to...
New purported Oppo Find 9 render surfaces
It was January 2015 when we first heard about the Oppo Find 9. A lot changed since, but the phone is yet to be made official. That's not say it hasn't been in news - in fact, it has been the subject of several leaks and rumors, with the latest one suggesting a March launch for the device (needless to say, that didn't happen). Now, a render alleged to be of the handset has surfaced online. A closer look reveals the design isn't exactly similar to what we have seen before in previous leaks. This new render image was spotted on Weibo, so we can't say for sure that it depicts the...

Instagram's new saved post collections should worry Pinterest
For the past few months or so, Facebook has been on a mission. A mission to ape every unique functionality inside Snapchat, in a wholesale manner, and bring it to its own services. Instagram has benefitted the most from this strategy, by far. In fact, the Stories feature that Instagram 'borrowed' from Snapchat has become more popular than the original. So now that it's pretty much done copying Snapchat, Facebook seems to have turned its attention to Pinterest. This could very well become its next victim, since Instagram is announcing a new feature that's very reminiscent of a unique...
Some Samsung Galaxy S8 users are complaining about reddish tint on display
Samsung Galaxy S8 pre-orders have started shipping, and the first complaints about the device have already started pouring in. Some Korean customers are complaining about a reddish tint on their units' displays. Correcting the phone's color display settings allegedly doesn't improve the situation. Reacting to the complaints, Samsung said, "It is not a quality problem and it can be adjusted with the phone itself. If the color still appears to be reddish, customers can change it at the service center." That, however, hasn't helped as some users said their phone's display panel was...
Android Pay gains support for 18 more banks
Android Pay's list of supported banks/financial institutions has been growing at a rapid rate. Last month, the service's list of supported banks in the US crossed the 600 mark. And now, some more names have been added to the list. In total, 18 more banks have made it to the list. The names include Bank of Stockton, Boundary Waters Bank, Citizens Bank of the South, Country Bank for Savings, Countryside Bank, First Green Bank, First State Bank of the Florida Keys, and Indiana University Credit Union. The rest of the names are Greenfield Cooperative Bank, Maquoketa State Bank,...
