According to a new report out of Taiwan, the Asus Zenfone 4 will be officially unveiled in August. Specifically, the report says the new series - which also includes Zenfone 4 Pro, 4 Selfie, and 4V - will be made official in Taiwan on August 17. This may not the first time we're hearing about August unveiling for the Zenfone 4 series in Taiwan, but the date information (August 17) - assuming it's authentic - is certainly new. For those who aren't in the know, one member of the series - the Zenfone 4 Max - has already been made official by the company. And the series is likely to make...

Third-party online retailers start selling Snap's Spectacles
Back in September last year, Snapchat changed its name to Snap Inc., and announced their second product: Spectacles (smart sunglasses having built-in video camera). The product was initially available in very limited quantities, but that changed in February this year, when the company started selling it through its online store. And now, Spectacles is available through third-party online retailers as well. Specifically, Amazon has the product listed on its website for $130 (yeah, pricing remains the same). Color options include black, coral, and teal. For more information or to...

LG V30 appears on GeekBench with 4GB of RAM and Android 7.1.2
Both Samsung and LG have been in the news lately as the anticipation for both smartphone makers to release their second flagship device of the year, halving the life cycle of its main flagship counterpart (Galaxy S8 and LG G6, respectively). The LG V30 was spotted in the popular GeekBench app with a Snapdragon 835 paired with 4GB of RAM. Which has silently become the standard hardware setup for flagship smartphones this year like the Galaxy S8 and the HTC U11. Meanwhile, other Chinese smartphone makers are putting 6GB of more of RAM their devices like the Xiaomi Mi 6 and the OnePlus...
Google Home reaches Germany next month, Australia this week alongside Google Wifi
Google Home was US-only for a long period of time after its launch last year, but recently it's been making its way to other countries - if very slowly. We've already seen it land in the UK and Canada, and its next target is Australia. It will go on sale down under on July 20 for AUD 199. You'll find it at the Google Store, JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, Officeworks, The Good Guys, Telstra, Optus, and Qantas Store. On the same day the Google Wifi will debut in Australia too, priced at AUD 199 for one unit, or AUD 499 for a three-pack. This device will be available at the Google Store, JB Hi-Fi,...
Samsung says it will recover 157 tons of gold, silver, cobalt, and copper through Note7 recycling
Now that the Galaxy Note FE is official and already available to purchase in South Korea, Samsung released a statement regarding its recycling efforts for the Galaxy Note7 units it collected through the global recalls last year. Those Note7 phones which weren't opened and used have been refurbished after fitting a smaller 3,200 mAh battery and have been reborn as the Note FE. What about the rest of the Note7s? Well, those will be recycled. Samsung says it will recover more than 157 tons of gold, silver, cobalt, and copper through the recycling process, which will start before the...
Asus X00ID clears the FCC, might be a Zenfone 4 variant
Following a pretty long wait, Asus is almost ready to unleash the entire Zenfone 4 line of smartphones. The company has so far outed the Zenfone 4 Max for some markets, but it hasn't started shipping yet. That's likely to happen in August, while the full Zenfone 4 family may launch in Europe in September. While we wait, a new Asus device has been certified by the US FCC. It has the model number X00ID, and we have in fact seen this one before, in a benchmark run back in May. That revealed most of its specs, and given the timing of the FCC certification we assume this very well could be one...
Xiaomi Mi 5X scores over 100,000 registrations already
Earlier today we found out that Xiaomi plans on unveiling the Mi 5X at an event on July 26, when it will also make the latest version of its Android skin, MIUI 9, official. Now, just a few hours later, we can tell you that people in China seem to be extremely interested in the Mi 5X. That's because the company's official online store for the country has already logged more than 100,000 registrations for the handset's first flash sale. 139,359, to be exact. Keep in mind that this has happened without anything official about the device being outed, except for a few promotional images that...
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for Android gets a redesign
Adobe has released an update for its Photoshop Lightroom app for Android today. This isn't a minor bug fixing version, however. In fact, the company claims that the app's UI has been "designed from the ground up" to be "fully Android-native". That definitely sounds good enough, but while you will notice a change in looks, it's not as dramatic as those words imply. The neat thing is that Lightroom has become smoother and faster in operation on this occasion. Furthermore, the controls and buttons are now labeled. Not relying on icons only means you're likely to find what you want much...
Google Glass is reborn as Enterprise Edition, loses consumer focus
Google Glass was definitely one of the search giant's most notable flops in recent times. Perhaps that had something to do with the flamboyant way in which Sergey Brin introduced the product back in 2012 at Google I/O and how that set expectations in the market. A while back we heard that Alphabet's X division, the one in charge of 'moonshots', took the project over. And today it unveiled Glass Enterprise Edition (GEE), the Google Glass reboot. The name was actually hinted at last year, but it took this long for everything to become official. As the new moniker implies, X won't try...
Upcoming Moto G5S Plus leaks in official-looking press renders
As you may know already, Motorola is working hard on updating the G5 line, despite the fact that its two members were only unveiled this February. Still, things move fast in the mobile world, and the Lenovo-owned company wants to bring dual rear cameras to the G series as soon as possible. Hence, the Moto G5S and G5S Plus were born - and both should become official pretty soon, judging by the number of leaks we've seen about them recently. Today a new image has leaked showing the bigger model in the upcoming duo, the G5S Plus. What you see below definitely looks like a promo shot that will...
Deal: Sony Xperia X drops to $230 in the US
You could have bought an Xperia XA1 for $240, but how about an Xperia X for $230? Head to B&H Photo (US) in the next half a day if that deal sounds appealing. Even if you miss the deal, Amazon US has the original X at $250. NewEgg has it at $270, which isn't that bad considering other stores are asking over $300. The Xperia X is getting old now (it launched a year ago) and the XA1 is a solid offering. But the X is a premium device and has a better screen (1080p vs. 720p, similar contrast and sunlight legibility), there's a pair of Cortex-A72 cores for better single-core performance...
Samsung strikes a deal with Apple to manufacture 7nm A12 chipsets
Samsung has reportedly signed a deal with Apple to build 7nm A12 chips for the next-year iPhone. This marks the first time the Korean company will make the SoC after it lost the deal to its Taiwanese rival TSMC in 2013. Samsung purchased extreme UV machines, which is the most advanced equipment for chipset production to build the 7nm processor solely for iPhone. One of three co-CEOs in Korea played a key role in clinching the deal. An industry insider revealed Samsung and Apple finalized the deal after the successful trade for OLED panels. The Korean manufacturer is currently...
Samsung Galaxy S9 will reportedly maintain the screen sizes of the S8
Info from "unnamed industry sources" claims that the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ will use the same screen sizes as the S8 generation. Samsung Electronics has allegedly already given Samsung Display the specs - 5.77" for the S9, 6.22" for the S9+. That is not to say that the displays themselves will not be updated. If nothing else, Samsung is going to have another shot at placing the fingerprint reader under the screen. Qualcomm and vivo already showed a working prototype, so maybe next year things will work out better (though rumors would have us believe that Apple is struggling with this...
There are reports that the OnePlus 5 reboots when trying to call 911
There have been several reports that the OnePlus 5 reboots if you try to dial 911, including a test on video (watch it on Facebook). It seems that dialing other emergency numbers like 112 in Europe triggers the same issue. Multiple people have chimed in the Reddit thread (source link) to confirm that the phone reboots when calling an emergency number. This doesn't seem to affect earlier models, though last year the OnePlus One (running CM13) did have a similar problem(there was no official response in the OnePlus forum thread). It goes without saying that this should be a top...
New leak shows the Nokia 8 in a different color
We already know that the Nokia 8 will launch with at least four color options - blue, which we already saw, gold/blue, gold/copper and steel. It's that last one that is the latest in the series of Nokia 8 leaks, so feast your eyeballs on this. Nokia 8, the Steel color option HMD has been fairly restrained with its color palette. We do think the Nokia 6 & co. has some interesting color options, though we miss the wacky colors - yellow, orange, red, cyan, green - of the older Nokias. It certainly made the Lumias stand out. The new 3310 has some of those hues, the 105 and 130 as well,...

And those interested in the 32GB model will only have to shell out $130. However, keep in mind that these are Prime Exclusive units, meaning they come with lockscreen ads. Also, you'll only be able to avail the discount if you are a paid Prime member - those running the free trial aren't eligible. For more information, head to the Source link below. Source
Morgan Stanley: iPhone 8 supercycle delayed, still happening
Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty said in a statement that Apple would experience a supercycle with the upcoming iPhone 8. It is expected to happen in October, when the phone is released, rather than the usual September launch. Supercycle is a phenomenon where owners of older iPhones are deliberately withholding a phone purchase because they are waiting for a major upgrade. The iPhone 8 is expected to bring around 10% sales bump, according to previous reports. The top-notch iPhone 8 is projected to cost more than $1000. The extra bucks are expected to get you an OLED panel,...
IDC: Windows Phone falls to 0.1% market share, Android up to 85% in Q1 this year
It's officially a two-horse race - IDC puts Windows Phone shipments for the first quarter of 2017 at a meager 0.1%. This matches the 0.1% share of the "Others" category (most competing OSes are now discontinued, even Tizen's fate seems uncertain). Android is the ruling OS with a solid 85% market share (it seems to hover around that point). This left the other 15% to iOS, but there's a cycle - Q3 is a weak quarter, then the next-gen iPhones land in Q4 and iOS jumps several points. Period Android iOS Windows Phone Others 2016Q1 83.4% ...
Xiaomi Mi 5X will launch on July 26 alongside MIUI 9
Xiaomi is sending invitations for a July 26 event where it will unveil the Xiaomi Mi 5X. The invite shows the device's back which has a Mi 6-like dual camera setup but also a fingerprint scanner. It also reveals that the device will feature the latest MIUI 9, which will make its official debut as well. The Xiaomi Mi 5X is still a mystery to some extent. What little rumors we've heard suggest that it will have a 5.5" 1080p screen and a Snapdragon 625 chip with 4GB of RAM. Expect a price tag of 1,999 CNY or around €256. Via
Samsung Galaxy S8 Active leaks again, likely coming soon
The Active variant of the Samsung Galaxy S8 has leaked again. This time, a render has appeared on Amazon as part of a screen protector listing. This is not the first time we see an image of the phone. A quick comparison shows that the design revealed by this newly-discovered render is inline with what leaked previously. The product listing reveals the screen protector will begin shipping August 1. So that might suggest that the smartphone will debut around that date as well. Adding weight to this is the fact that the S8 Active has already received FCC certification in the US. The...
New image reveals Sharp's upcoming phone isn't exactly bezelless
Sharp was rumored to unveil a couple of bezelless smartphones on July 17, but that didn't happen. Last week, a teaser image alleged to be of one of the upcoming phones surfaced, revealing a design inline with previous rumors. Now, a new image has appeared. It comes courtesy of Foxconn's VP, and shows several prototypes that are currently in testing. Quite obviously, the design revealed by this new image is different, especially when it comes to bezels. So if that's one of the upcoming Sharp phones, we may need to lower our bezelless hype. We previously heard that the devices...
Xiaomi Mi Max 2 with 5300mAh battery launched in India
Xiaomi has launched the Mi Max 2 in India. The phone is priced at INR 16,999 and will be available online and offline simultaneously on July 27. As part of the three year anniversary celebration, the phone will also be available at Mi Home and mi.com on July 20 and 21. The Mi Max 2 is the successor to last year's Mi Max and has the same big 6.44-inch display but now in a new full unibody aluminum design. It also runs on the newer Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset and will be available with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. The camera has also been improved and it now has the latest 12...
ZTE Blade A6 Lite receives WiFi certification
A new ZTE smartphone has been certified by the WiFi Alliance (WFA). Dubbed Blade A6 Lite, the device - as per the listing - carries a model number of A0622, and runs Android Nougat (version 7.1) out of the box. Sadly, nothing else is currently known about this handset at the moment. Last month, the Blade A6 was also certified by the WFA. Judging by the names, the Blade A6 Lite seems to be a toned down version of the Blade A6. Source | Via
Galaxy S8 selling better than its predecessor, Samsung says
A security researcher said last week that sales of Samsung's Galaxy S8/S8+ flagships are slowing down. Not only that, the report even claimed that the company sold more S7 units compared to what it achieved so far with the S8. However, according to the South Korean tech giant, that's not the case. The company's president of mobile communications DJ Koh effectively refuted the aforementioned claims saying that its latest flagship is continuing to outsell its predecessor. He even provided numbers, revealing that sales of the S8 and S8 Plus combined are around 15% higher than their...
