Alleged Alcatel Idol 5 leaks on GFXBench again, but with a MediaTek Helio P20 CPU

We've already seen this same device leak a few weeks ago. We saw an Alcatel device with the model number: 6060. We are seeing the same model again, but this time there are some peculiar differences. While the previous Alcatel 6060 leak had a Snapdragon 625, 3GB of RAM, and an Adreno 506 GPU, this new device shows a Mediatek Helio P20, 2GB of RAM, and a Mali-T880 GPU. Everything else appears to be the same as the first leak: a 12MP main camera capable of 4K recording and an 8MP front facing one. There's also a 5.2-inch 1080p screen. But what's peculiar is that both of these result...

Google releases statement about Google Docs phishing attacks

Google has addressed a huge phishing attack that was spreading all over the place today. A "phishing" scam is a way of manipulating a victim into providing access to your accounts without their knowledge or by tricking them with a fake login page that looks like the real one. Google says that it has disabled the accounts associated with the scam and will take necessary precautions to prevent a similar kind of attack. Developers will likely no longer be able to name things after other Google services word for word. (1 of 3) Official Google Statement on Phishing Email: We have taken...

Sony Xperia XZ Premium pops up on GeekBench

Someone has performed a benchmark test on a Sony Xperia XZ Premium device which carries the model number: G8141. GeekBench was the test of choice which also revealed RAM and the Android version: 4GB and 7.1.1, respectively. The GeekBench listed scores the Xperia XZ Premium with 1943 and 5824 in the single and multi-core tests. Despite having a Snapdragon 835 chipset, the unreleased Sony device's performance numbers seem marginally muffled compared to a couple of other SD835-powered smartphones. For example, Samsung's S8+ with the SD835 chip scored 6106 in multi core and 1915 in the single...

HTC U 11 would not have headphone jack, but comes with an adapter

The headphone jack has been debated about ever since Motorola was the first to pull an Apple before Apple did. In short, both companies released a feature smartphone in 2016 without a headphone jack, though Apple (iPhone 7) called it "courage" and Motorola (Moto Z) was trying to make a stupidly thin phone. According to well-acclaimed leakster LlabTooFeR, the HTC U 11 will not feature a headphone jack, but instead, HTC will include a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter so you can still use your favorite pair of wired headphones. #HTCU11 will have USB-C -> 3.5mm adaptor inside the...

Google Allo gets chat backups, incognito groups, and link previews as Duo passes 50 million downloads

Google's Allo messaging app is in the process of receiving some new features today. No, it's not getting a web-based client, or SMS support of any kind. Not yet, at least.

Previously, this was only available for one-on-one chats. Incognito mode enables end-to-end encryption and lets you set an expiry time on your messages.

T-Mobile is now selling the LG G6 for just $500

When it launched the LG G6 last month, T-Mobile priced it at $650 full retail, or $26 upfront followed by 24 monthly installments of $26. But that was before Samsung's Galaxy S8 hit the streets.

So at the moment you can purchase a G6 from T-Mobile for only $500 outright, or $20 upfront and $20 monthly for two years if you're into doing the installment thing. Additionally, if you buy before May 7 you get a free Google Home smart speaker...

DeutscheBank: Anniversary OLED iPhone will be delayed until next year

Analysts are becoming increasingly sure that the new OLED iPhone will be delayed - Deutsche Bank joins KGI in predicting that supply shortages of key components will not allow the overhauled iPhone to launch alongside the iPhone 7s. The 7s will be an incremental improvement over the current iPhone 7 without much novelty. The OLED-packing iPhone (aka "iPhone 8"), is a much bigger upgrade. The OLED screen is just one of the new components, rumors also suggest 3D sensing cameras and brand new 3D touch. We may be saying "goodbye" to the Home button and screen bezels with this update...

Nissan wants to fight texting while driving by throwing your phone in a cage

"19th century innovation with a 21st century application" is rarely a good way to start a pitch. And it's not even true - Nissan's idea is downright medieval. The car maker is proposing what is essentially a chastity belt to keep you from the temptation of using your phone while driving. A prototype armrest for the Nissan Juke is the most stylish Faraday cage we've seen yet. If you haven't heard the term, it's an enclosure that prevents wireless signals from getting in or out - no 4G, no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, nothing that can deliver or send a digital message between your phone and the...

Qualcomm sends out invites for the Snapdragon 660 unveiling

Qualcomm has sent out invites for the Snapdragon 660 unveiling - the rumor mill's favorite chipset for premium mid-rangers of late. The 660 will follows in the footsteps of the excellent 652 but will be much closer to the company's flagship chip. It will use an octa-core processor with Kryo 280 cores, the same hardware as the Snapdragon 835. However, the 660 will be built on a 14nm process rather than 10nm. Still, the newest Kirin 960 is built at 16nm and so is the outgoing Apple A10 chip. The GPU will be Adreno 512 and it's not yet clear how it will compare to other Qualcomm graphics -...

Samsung Galaxy C may get a dual camera before the Note8

Samsung is yet to make a phone with a dual-camera and that honor might go to a new Galaxy C model. The rumor mill is fairly certain that the Galaxy Note8 will have a dual camera, so you can view this as a dry run. Details of the new phone are sparse, we don't even know its exact model number - Galaxy C what? 5, 7, 8, 9? The reason we ask is because that determines the screen size. More importantly, we don't know the flavor of the dual camera - wide angle or zoom or B&W or what? Anyway, the rumor mill at least points to the chipset of choice - Snapdragon 660. Qualcomm is yet to make...

Apple iPhone sales go down in Q1 2017

Apple financial results for the March quarter are in and they show a slight decline in iPhone sales on a yearly basis. The good news is Mac and services numbers were up, bringing the total revenue to $52.9 billion. The number of iPhones sold in the past three months was 50.8 million, going slightly down from the 51.2 million twelve months ago. Part of the reason might be Apple fans are withholding purchases in expectation of the 10th anniversary iPhone later this year. Another segment that registered a decline in sales is the iPad. 8.9 million Apple tablets were sold between...

Windows 10 S will have Edge permanently set as your default browser

Yesterday, Microsoft announced Windows 10 S as an alternative OS primarily for upcoming budget PCs that are aimed at the education market. One of the changes from the Pro or Home version of Windows 10 is that 10 S will only let you install applications from the Windows Store. This didn't sound all that bad at first but it is now slowly opening a fresh can of worms. For starters, you are limited to browsers that are available on the Store and for the time being, neither Chrome, Firefox, or Opera are there. But then it gets worse. Microsoft has decided that Edge will permanently be the...
