Earlier last year, there were reports that Google is working on a standalone VR headset (one that doesn't rely on a smartphone, PC, or a gaming console to function). However, later in 2016, there were rumors that the project has been scrapped. But looks like the project is pretty much alive as a new report is suggesting the Mountain View, California-based company is likely to unveil the headset at this year's I/O conference, which is set for May 17-19. Unlike Facebook's Oculus Rift headset and other similar offerings by company's like Sony and HTC, Google's headset comes with on-board...

Android Wear 2.0 update is rolling out to the Zenwatch 3 according to Asus
If you own an Asus Zenwatch 3 the very, very, very long wait for the Android Wear 2.0 update may finally be over. According to Asus' official Twitter account for the UK, the new software version has been rolling out to Zenwatch 3 units since yesterday. This is good news, but we really hope Asus' social media manager knows what he or she is talking about - because so far we've seen absolutely no screenshots shared online by Zenwatch 3 owners confirming the rollout. That could mean it's not actually started, or that it has but only reached a very small number of devices up until this...
AT&T's HTC One M9 is now getting the Android 7.0 Nougat update
AT&T is finally sending out the update to Android 7.0 Nougat for the HTC One M9 units it's sold. The unlocked version of the phone got the same software back in December of last year, so this has definitely been a long time coming. More recently, we've seen T-Mobile rolling out the update in March. Now though it's heading out to One M9 devices purchased from AT&T. Since it's an over-the-air rollout, expect a few days to pass before every single unit out there receives the update notification. If you're impatient, however, there's always a chance you'll get it faster if you manually check...
Moto E4 Plus shows up in leaked press renders
Just yesterday Motorola unveiled two new smartphones, the Moto C and Moto C Plus. Those are the company's lowest-end offerings for this year. The next step up in its roster will be represented by the new members of the E line - the E4 and E4 Plus. These will come to succeed the E3 from last year, and will sit in between the C series and the G series in terms of features and pricing. We've already given you all the spec details about them a while back, but today a couple of press renders have surfaced, depicting the E4 Plus. Like the name implies, this will be the better of the duo....
Apple to refresh entire MacBook lineup at WWDC, rumor says
As we get closer to Apple's WorldWide Developer Conference (WWDC) that takes place in early June, we're starting to hear more rumors about what products could be unveiled there. We've already told you to expect a new 10.5" iPad Pro with small bezels (to be the successor for the 9.7" iPad Pro), as well as a Siri-powered smart speaker. Now a new report says the company will also refresh its entire laptop lineup. That's going to be very big news if true, because, for example, the latest MacBook Pros have only been released last October - following a period of more than 500 days since its...
iPad mini will be discontinued, report claims
Ever wondered why Apple hasn't made a big fuss about its most recent updates to the iPad mini line? Or why those updates have been entirely missing since 2015, when the iPad mini 4 was introduced? It's definitely seemed that the company has no love for its smallest tablet, and today a new report pretty much confirms that. What's more, it claims that the iPad mini line will be discontinued. This allegedly comes from "a source close to Apple" saying the mini will be phased out because the sales numbers are "very clear" that it's the right move. Read: it's not been selling very...
Verizon has canceled its version of the LG Watch Sport
Google and LG unveiled the Watch Sport and Watch Style back in February, as the first devices coming with Android Wear 2.0 preinstalled. Shortly after that, we found out that both AT&T and Verizon would sell the Watch Sport. And while the former has actually kept its word, the carrier nicknamed Big Red chose another path. Verizon started taking pre-orders for the wearable on February 10, for $329.99 with a two-year contract. Customers who pre-ordered are now being sent cancellation notices. Droid-Life reached out to the carrier and was told that the LG Watch Sport has been canceled....
Verizon drops the LG G6 to $20 per month, $480 in total
Not to be outdone by T-Mobile and its BOGO offer, or Sprint for that matter, today Verizon has started a new promo for LG's G6. Normally, the carrier nicknamed Big Red is charging $672 for the phone full retail, or 24 monthly installments of $28. However, for a limited time, you can get a G6 with a two-year installment plan for just $20 per month. That adds up to only $480, thus saving you $192 overall. You can pick between the black and silver G6 hues, both are available for the promo. However, you have to go the installment route, as the full retail price option hasn't changed. Oh,...
HTC U 11 tested: benchmarking the Snapdragon 835
The HTC U 11 scored the coveted Snapdragon 835 chipset - something lacking on the HTC U Ultra. HTC's new darling is among the earliest offerings with Qualcomm's top chip, though not the first. That means we have some interesting competition to test it against. The Xiaomi Mi 6 is another S835 phone, as is the Galaxy S8+. We also tested the S8+ with Samsung's own Exynos 8895 chipset. We also put the Mate 9 that uses Huawei's in-house Kirin 960 chipset as a reference. The other competitors (aside from the iPhone, obviously) came out with the older generation Qualcomm chip, the Snapdragon 820...
HTC U11 is already $50 cheaper as pre-orders go live in the US, UK, and Canada
The HTC U11 has been announced earlier today, and at this point it's already up for pre-order in the US, UK, and Canada. What's more, you can already take $50 off the official price of an unlocked unit if you choose to shop at HTC's official US online store. The phone's normally priced at $649, but if you add the coupon code LOVEU11 upon checkout, that sum will be reduced to a more palatable $599. There are three versions of the U11 to choose from - one works with AT&T and T-Mobile, another with Verizon, and the third one with Sprint. Speaking of which, Sprint will be the only US...
Instagram's rip-off Express has no brakes, copies face filters from Snapchat
Another month, another Snapchat feature blatantly ripped-off by Instagram. This time it's arguably the biggest feature of Snapchat, the all-too popular face filters. In the latest 10.21 update for both iOS and Android, users will now be able to tap a button and enable the face filters mode. Here they can select from a small bunch of filters at the bottom that update and animate in real-time. Not only has Instagram completely copied the implementation of the feature from Snapchat, it has also copied the actual filters, many of which look nearly identical to those on Snapchat. They also have...
Samsung Pay arrives in the UK, but only with three banks for now
After a long wait, Samsung Pay finally sets foot in the UK. The Korean company enabled the option after prolonged works with Visa and Mastercard and now customers of MBNA, Nationwide and Santander can take advantage of the service. If Samsung Pay is not on your device, you can download it from Google Play. Then you just add your card, set up the security and confirm. Then your Samsung phone will work like a contactless payment card thanks to the NFC chip underneath the back panel. The Samsung devices that currently support Samsung Pay are Galaxy S6/S6 edge/S6 edge+, the Galaxy S7/S7...
HTC 10 on Verizon getting new security update
Verizon has started pushing out a new update to HTC 10 units on its network. It's a security update that arrives as version 2.41.605.18, but the carrier hasn't specified the month included. The handset received Android 7.0 Nougat update back in March this year, so we'd guess the former flagship is now on either April or May security levels. As is usually the case with OTA roll outs, it may take sometime for the update to hit your device. Meanwhile, if you feel impatient, you can manually check for the update by heading to your phone's Settings menu. Source | Via
Honor to launch 4 new devices on May 23
Earlier today Honor sent out press invites for an upcoming May 23 event where four new devices will be launched. The invite, starring a joyful student divided between the choice of football field or the classroom, roughly reads "4 new devices, built for fun and party", implying they will be in the affordable spectrum. The image also says the phones released will be good for one-handed mobile gaming but will also be good enough for the classroom, or at least that's what we could gather from the machine translation. One of the phones we could see is the Honor 6A that might be a more...
Xiaomi launches its first router in India - Mi Router 3C
Along with the Redmi 4, Xiaomi also launched the Mi Router 3C in India. This is the company's first networking product to be launched in India. Mi Router 3C The Mi Router 3C is a 2x2 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n router with a combined up/down transfer speed of 300Mbps.

Alleged Galaxy S8 running Windows 10 Mobile appears
It's been awhile since Windows 10 Mobile (or just Windows 10, on a phone) has made any sort of headlines, but this is a very interesting bit. A few leaked images of a Samsung Galaxy S8 running Windows 10 will surely spark the few remaining fans' interest. Alleged Galaxy S8 running Windows 10 Mobile The images are of poor quality and could very well prove fake - it's easy to just snap a screenshot of Windows 10 mobile and slap it onto an Android phone. Then again the virtual onscreen buttons coincide with Windows and not Android. The three images show the live tile-filled...
Nokia 8 and another unannounced phone leak in a video
HMD unveiled three new Nokia Android phones at the MWC and promised it will deliver more premium offerings later in the year. Now a new video might give us an idea of how two of those will look. The clip looks like a company promo and shows four Nokia devices. The Nokia 3 and Nokia 5 are already well-known to you, but the other two devices are yet to be made official. One of them looks like a Nokia 6 but has a different camera setup on the back, implying this might be a Nokia 7. The fourth smartphone has dual cameras, which would be a first for the reborn brand and some suggest it is...
Nokia 3310 (2017) arriving in India on May 18 for less than $50
The Nokia 3310 (2017) is coming to make feature phones great again. HMD unveiled the device in February, and finally, the market release is near. The device will be released in India on Thursday for the price of INR3,310 or around $46. The phone will be sold in India in all four colors - Warm Red and Bright Yellow with a gloss finish on the back, and Dark Blue and Grey with a matte back. It will be distributed in offline stores only. Since the Nokia 3310 (2017) is made in India, its price is lower than in Europe. The feature phone appeared on a German retailer's website Saturn.de...
Asus ZenFone 3 Max (or Deluxe) is getting Android 7.1.1 update
Asus has started pushing out the Android 7.1.1 update to either ZenFone 3 Max or ZenFone 3 Deluxe. The reason for the confusing is the update-announcement headline says ZenFone 3 Max (ZC553KL), while details mention ZenFone 3 Deluxe (ZS550KL) as the device getting the update. Anyway, the release notes only mention that the update comes arrives as version 14.0200.1704.119, but provide no specifics on what's actually included in it. So we'd guess there are no chances outside of the ones brought by the new Android version. Oh, and do let us know in comments if you posses either of the...
Samsung Galaxy S8 sales hit 5 million milestone
The Samsung Galaxy S8, which launched on April 21, has hit the 5 million global sales milestone. This was revealed by the South Korean tech giant today. "Although we cannot provide detailed figures, the sales are going smoothly around the globe," a company official said. "The combined sales already are beyond 5 million units." While the flagship is already available in several key markets around the globe, the company has confirmed that the number will grow to 120 by the end of May. The firm explicitly confirmed that China will also get the phone this month. Source | Via
Check out first camera samples of the HTC U11
The HTC launched the U11 - it's true flagship with Snapdragon 835 and 12 MP UltraPixel camera. The company pointed out that DxOMark gave it a score of 90, which is its highest yet, so when we got the chance to take some images we immediately went for it. The HTC U11's camera has UltraPixel 3 technology and UltraSpeed Autofocus. U11's camera lens is very bright at f/1.7, and the sensor is a bit bigger than usual - 1/2.55", aiming to boost low-light performance. HTC U11 main camera samples The selfie camera is also decent on paper - it has a 16MP senor and f/2.0 lens,...

Xiaomi launches Redmi 4 in India
Ten months after the launch of the Redmi 3S Prime, Xiaomi has launched its successor, the Redmi 4, in India. The differences between the Redmi 3S Prime and the Redmi 4 are mostly cosmetic. The new phone has slimmer, tapered edges and a cleaner, more contemporary design. The speaker has been moved from the back to the bottom of the phone and the metal and aluminum meet in cleaner anodized high-gloss aluminum lines. On the inside, the two phones are largely the same. There is the same 5.0-inch 720p LCD on the front, a 13 megapixel f2.0 camera on the back with PDAF, a 5 megapixel f2.2...
T-Mobile LG Stylo 2 Plus gets Nougat update
Back in February this year, T-Mobile updated its software update page for the LG Stylo 2 Plus to reflect that Nougat for the phone has started rolling out. However, that wasn't the case, as the update only brought along a security patch (the carrier even quietly removed Android 7.0 references from the page later on). Now, a new update has been pushed out to the handset, and the software update page says it brings Android 7.0 Nougat. The latest firmware is version V55020a and weighs in at around 1112 MB. Given the bump in version number as well as the size of the update, it's...

HTC releases first promo videos for the U11
HTC released three videos following the unveiling of the U11 on its YouTube channel. The first video reveals how the device was designed and built; the second shows us the most impressive features of the camera and the third is a delightful clip of hands squeezing objects, including the U11 itself. HTC went with the slogan "Designed to Stand Out" for the appearance of the HTC U11. The company says the phone was manufactured with "layers of highly refractive precious minerals" that were heated and bent under extreme pressure. The phone certainly looks great, and this type of build adds...

HTC U11 tops DxOMark chart
HTC launched the U11 and was keen to brag that the smartphone's camera scored 90 at DxOMark, making it the highest ever rated on the website. According to the camera gurus, the U11's camera surpasses the Google Pixel and tops the chart because of the high quality, low noise pictures and the impressively fast autofocus. Photo Score The HTC U11 has a 1/2.55" sensor, allowing the device to produce excellent results in low light. Thanks to its dual-pixel PDAF, the focus should be pretty fast too even in less than optimal lighting. DxOMark praises the colors produced as well. The...

HTC U11 is official with Edge Sense and Snapdragon 835
Today HTC made its next flagship smartphone official. As the many leaks have hinted, it's called U11, in an effort to make it obvious from the get-go that this is a member of the new U family (also comprising the U Ultra and U Play), but at the same time the successor to the HTC 10 from last year. HTC U11 The U11 comes with a standout feature dubbed Edge Sense. This lets you squeeze the phone in order to execute specific actions.

HTC U 11 hands-on: First look
Just when we thought HTC was through with this generation's flagship announcement in the U Ultra, the Taiwanese manufacturer decided it can squeeze one more release in. But before we get to explain the terrible pun we just made, let us introduce the HTC U 11 - the company's true 2017 flagship offer.
