So far, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ have only been available in the three colors in India: black, blue, and gold. That's, however, no longer the case, as the list has been updated with a new color: grey (or orchid grey). It's worth mentioning that the new color option is only available for the 4GB/64GB models, as the 6GB/128GB one is still only available in black. Talking of price, the grey model costs the same as other colors - INR 57,900 ($895) for the S8 and INR 64,900 ($1,000) for the S8+. Source | Via

Old Samsung Gear 360 drops to $140 in US
Last we heard, the 2016 variant of the Samsung Gear 360 camera was going for $157 in the United States. Well, if you missed that deal for some reason, you'll be glad to know that the price has dropped further. A quick look at the device's listing on Amazon reveals a tag of $139.99. The model on offer is the US version with warranty. The listing doesn't say when the offer ends (or if it's a permanent price cut), so those interested in availing it may have to act fast.

July security update failing to install on some carrier variants of Google Pixel
Google has confirmed that there's some issue with this month's security update and the company is working on it. Specifically, several Pixel users are getting an 'Installation problem' error when they try installing the update, which weighs in at 61.1MB. Not every Pixel unit is affected by the problem though - reports say only units on T-Mobile, Project Fi, and Rogers (for which the update carries a build number of NKG47M) are having the problem. Also, the Pixel XL seems to be completely unaffected - update for the larger model weighs in at 70.1MB. Source 1 2 | Via
English Bixby further delayed, Samsung tells Korea Herald
Samsung put a lot of focus into its new Bixby assistant for the launch of the Galaxy S8 and S8+. Four aspects of Bixby were announced at the event: Vision, Remind, Home, and Voice, the latter of which is still not functional outside of Samsung's home market of Korea. A Samsung spokesperson told The Korea Herald that "Developing Bixby in other languages is taking more time than we expected mainly because of the lack of the accumulation of big data," and there are a number of obstacles that are causing the consistent delays.

The Tmall Genie is Alibaba's answer to the Amazon Echo in China

LG to let its mobile payment systems work with mid-range LG devices
LG Pay is currently in its emerging stages of existence. The mobile payment service has only launched the beginning of June in LG's home market of South Korea. Other payment services are way ahead of LG, but even so, the South Korean company thinks it can expand the use of the service if it is compatible with more devices, notably, with lower-priced devices. LG Pay has a similar advantage to Samsung's MST technology: magnets can simulate the presence of a card swipe, eliminating the requirement of an NFC-based terminal. Cho Jun-ho, president of LG's mobile communication division,...

Google outs July security patches for Pixel and Nexus devices
At the beginning of each month Google releases a new set of security patches for Android, and July is no exception. These are sent out by the company to the devices it manages software updates for - Nexuses and Pixels, namely. And then at some later point you should expect various Android device makers to update their products with these security fixes (yet it's interesting to see that Nokia pushed out these patches before Google this month).

Today LG has started sending out press invites for an event in Poland on July 11, during which the Q6 will make its debut. One version of the invite doesn't mention the handset directly, but does feature the rather intriguing "#LGBarbeQ" hashtag as you can see. What could that "Q" possibly stand for, you wonder? Well, the answer is in a slightly different variation of the invite, which is portrayed...
