Samsung has started rolling out the latest security update to its flagship smartphones. Specifically, the August patch has begun hitting the Galaxy S7 edge smartphone. Arriving as version G935FXXU1DQH3, the update is currently rolling out to units in Mexico, but other regions should also get it sooner than later. It's worth mentioning that the Galaxy S7 edge may be the first Samsung flagship to get the August patch, but its definitely not the first Samsung smartphone to get it - the update has already been pushed out to the Galaxy J7 Prime.

iPhone 8, 7s, 7s Plus dummy units shown in family photo as all three devices enter volume production
Somewhat corroborating yesterday's report which said Apple would launch the iPhone 8, 7s, and 7s Plus at the same time next month, a new rumor now claims all three devices have entered volume production. This obviously wouldn't include the iPhone 8 if that model were to be launched later than the other two, as previously alleged. So the trio should be outed at a special event at some point in September, with commercial availability coming before the end of the month. The iPhone 7s and 7s Plus will not see any stock shortages, but the story will be quite different for the iPhone 8, as...
T-Mobile makes the Revvl official, available tomorrow for $125
After a couple of leaks, the T-Mobile Revvl has finally become official today. The device only bears the carrier's brand, but it is manufactured by TCL. The Revvl will be available tomorrow from the magenta carrier. It can be yours for $125 full retail, or $5 down and $5 per month for two years if you go with the equipment installment plan. Alternatively, you can grab it using TMo's Jump on Demand scheme, paying $0 down and $5 per month. As you've probably gathered from its pricing, the Revvl is anything but a flagship. That said, it does boast some decent specs for that amount of...
Nvidia voluntarily recalls European AC wall adapter plug head for Shield tablets and Shield TVs
Nvidia today had to announce that it's taking steps to mitigate a possible risk of electric shock posed by some AC wall adapters used for some of its products. The part in question is the plug head for Shield AC wall adapters designed for use in continental Europe (it's pictured to the left). The devices affected are Shield World Charger Kits, European Shield tablets, and European Shield TV consoles sold between July 2014 and May 2017. If you don't have any of those, or aren't using the European plug, you have nothing to worry about. If you do own one of the aforementioned products and...
Essential Phone will get a firm release date within a week, the company announces
The saga of the Essential Phone's release continues. Speaking to the Wall Street Journal today, company representatives promised to finally reveal the actual release date of the handset within the next week. That does not mean the product will be available in seven days or less, mind you - that's just a time frame for telling us exactly when to expect it to hit the streets. That's certainly good news, but you may remember that Essential's promise in May at the unveiling event for the phone was to ship it within 30 days of that moment. That obviously hasn't happened, and now we're more than...
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 prototype allegedly stars in leaked image showing an all-screen front
Last year Xiaomi shocked the smartphone world by getting on the 'near-bezelless' train before we even knew that would be the main trend of 2017. This was achieved with the launch of the stunning Mi Mix, which came with essentially no bezels at all on three sides of its screen. This year the Mi Mix 2 will have to live up to that, and it might just pull it off. At least, that is, if the image you can see below turns out to be real. It's leaked today in China and is alleged to depict a prototype of the Mi Mix 2. As you can see, the last remaining bezel in the Mi Mix - the bottom one -...
Samsung Galaxy Note8 pre-orders start on September 1
Samsung pushed its Galaxy Note8 sales roadmap to carriers, Korean sources reveal. The company announced that the week following the official unveiling on August 23 would be reserved for events for network providers and retailers. The pre-order period will happen between September 1 and September 10, and the official launch is already scheduled for September 15. The 10-day pre-order period is a day shorter than Galaxy S8's back in April. Nevertheless, Samsung is expecting massive interest and pre-order numbers for the Galaxy Note8 since it is practically the first Galaxy Note phone in...

Do you want to buy a Samsung Galaxy S8? Are you interested in the unlocked model? How about saving a whopping $185 in the process? Well, if that sounds good to you, then be prepared to act fast. The Korean company is currently offering its latest flagship smartphone, in its unlocked iteration, on eBay for just $539.99. That's a very big discount compared to its initial price of $724.99.

It's unclear how long the deal will last, or why Samsung decided to...
Smartphone shipments in China decrease in H1 2017
Sigmaintell Consulting published its data research on smartphone shipments on the Chinese market for the first half of 2017. The initial numbers reveal that companies shipped 230 million units or 1.4% less than the January-June period of 2016. China-based vendors sent abroad 290 million phones, but this figure is 6.2% less than the same time span a year ago. Even if shipments decreased for all vendors, Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi did well in overseas markets, mostly because of hardware upgrades and better ways of promoting and selling their devices. Display-wise, phones with...
Garmin Vivoactive 3 leak shows the first round screen of the series
Garmin will soon introduce the Vivoactive 3 - leaked images show the third major edition of the all-round sporty smartwatch. It's the first of the series to feature a round screen, similar to the Fenix watches, though the bezel has a clean look rather than a rugged one. This is a follow-up to the Vivoactive HR and while it's not in the name, an optical heart rate sensor will be on board. The watch will be waterproof as well, though likely not with a 100m rating like the Fenixes. Garmin Vivoactive 3 (leaked images) Note that this isn't an Android Wear watch, instead it runs on a...

Google Play Protect unifies and rebrands Android's security features
Google has unified and rebranded its Android security tech - meet Google Play Protect. It scans apps in the Play Store before you download them to make sure they follow the rules. But Play Protect also watches apps as they run on phones and uses machine learning to detect unexpected behavior - when that occurs, you get a notification and the app gets the boot.

Google Play Protect guards against malicious apps You can go into Google Play and you'll see a banner in the Updates screen telling you everything is fine. And there are...
Kantar: Samsung leads US market in Q2, but the two iPhones are the best-sellers
Samsung is back as the top smartphone maker in the US, according to data from Kantar. During the second quarter, the Galaxy phones captured 36.2% of the market (up from 32.9% in the previous quarter). However, that's a bit lower compared to the second quarter of last year.

LG Q6 launched in India
LG has officially launched the Q6 in India. The phone is being sold exclusively through Amazon India. The LG Q6 is modelled after LG's current flagship smartphone, the G6. The Q6 looks nearly identical from the front, with a near edge to edge glass with curved corners. It even has an aluminum frame with increased impact protection. The main attraction here is the display. Following the same 18:9 aspect ratio as the G6, the 5.5-inch display on the Q6 has a resolution of 2160x1080, more than any other phone in its class. It's worth mentioning here though that while the Q6 display...
YotaPhone 3 press renders leak alongside specs
Back in June Yota Devices unveiled the new YotaPhone 3 price tag of $350. Now we got a tip for leaked press renders of the phone, along with most of the phone's specs. It will come with an e-ink display on the back like its predecessors the YotaPhone 2 and the original YotaPhone with 5.2" diagonal and HD resolution. The primary display on the front will be a 5.5" AMOLED panel with Full HD resolution.

Teaser suggests BlackBerry could show off all-black KEYone at IFA
BlackBerry has released a short teaser video through its social media channels. The video focuses only on two things - the KEYone moniker and black color - and ends with a mention of IFA Berlin. That's a strong indication that the all-black KEYone variant will be shown off at the event. The model was recently launched in India, where it carries a price tag of just over $625. Aside from color, the other change the variant features is upgraded memory configuration - 4GB/64GB instead of the usual 3GB/32GB. Via
Five colors of iPhone 8 cases leak
We've seen a case for the iPhone 8, but it was pretty plain with its black color. What if it was Purple or Yellow or Peach or Mint instead? Well, glad you asked! Here are five cases (including a Black one) that show a vertical slot for the dual camera and no hole for the fingerprint reader. iPhone 8 cases in five different colors These look like the official iPhone 7 accessories and if that's the case, we're probably looking at more creative names for the colors like Flamingo, Pollen and so on. Of course, Apple has a wider selection of colors, so these are probably just a...
Oppo R11 FC Barcelona Edition is up for pre-order in China

Later it also arrived in Red, and after we had told you last week about the FC Barcelona edition, today it was officially launched for pre-order on Oppo's website. The hardware on the inside stays the same, but the color on the back and the UI come with some tweaks. The Oppo R11 FC Barcelona Edition has a blue and red back, like the official colors of the football team. There is also the crest on the back, but it is made from 18K gold, because why not. The software is a bit different as well - the ColorOS...
