T-Mobile and Sprint have started pushing out a new update to Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ units on their networks. The T-Mobile update brings along May security patch, updated Bixby app, and improvements related to SD card stability. Sadly, the Bixby-related change doesn't enable Bixby Voice - the update just adds shortcuts at the top of the screen for Bixby Vision and Reminders. The update for the Galaxy S8+ weighs in at around 375MB. There isn't much known about the Sprint update, but we expect it to be similar to the one being rolled out by the magenta carrier. Via

Moto Z2 stops by Geekbench to prove it has the Snapdragon 835 and 4GB of RAM
While Motorola has already unveiled the Moto Z2 Play at the beginning of this month, that can't be said for the Moto Z2 or the Z2 Force. These upcoming models (which may just be one and the same, by the way) are still not official. And so it's good to see one of them in a benchmark's database, since it means we're fast approaching its release. It's the Moto Z2 this time around, and it was spotted in the database of Geekbench. This means someone in possession of a prototype has run that benchmark, and this has resulted in a few of its specs being outed. The Moto Z2 will be powered by...

iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will support NFC tags with iOS 11
Surprise! Apple now supports reading NFC tags - a developer page for Core NFC notes that the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus can read tags (bog standard tags and you can buy for a dime). However, there's no mention of writing to tags and more importantly, no device-to-device communication.
