Last week, it was officially announced that shipments for the Essential Phone (PH-1) have begun. While it was certainly good news, those who pre-ordered the phone were put off see that the tracking info the company shared didn't provide any estimate on delivery. That's, however, changing now, as those with tracking info are now able to see a final delivery date, which is August 31 (or this Thursday). Though it's less likely that there will be any further delay this time around, given what all has been happening ever since the phone was announced, we'd advise you against getting your...

Samsung expecting Galaxy Note8 to outsell Note5
Samsung is expecting to sell over 11 million units of its newly-unveiled Galaxy Note8 phablet. This was revealed by the South Korean tech giant's mobile chief Koh Dong-jin during a recent interview. Specifically, Koh said the Galaxy Note5 - which was the last Galaxy Note banded smartphone from Samsung - sold 11 million units, and they are expecting the Note8 to sell more than that. He, however, added that the shipments could be adjusted, as the company wants to sell more Galaxy S8 units as well. Samsung's aim for Galaxy S8 sales is 48 million. The device has already sold around 15%...
Moto X4 to launch on September 2, rumored to start at $350 in the US
Thanks to the launch of last year's Moto Z, there was no Moto X smartphone last year, which ultimately led us to believe that Motorola/Lenovo scrapped the model altogether. Well, this year, we are well aware that Motorola is going to pick back up where it left off with the third generation Moto X Style. Motorola will be holding some sort event on September 2, as per a post on Motorola's official Philippines Facebook page. A livestream will take place on September 2 at 6PM, local Philippines time, where we hope to see the Moto X4 launch. The livestream event will feature two famous...

Samsung Galaxy Note8 is the best screen DisplayMate has ever tested
There's no doubt that Samsung can make some of the best display panels on the market. After all, Samsung makes its own TVs and even supplies panels to other TV manufacturers. With that much display experience and research under its belt, Samsung is well equipped to push the limits of its own smartphone displays so much so that Samsung keeps outdoing its other smartphones on DisplayMate's tests. For reference, the Samsung Galaxy S8 also scored an A+ on DisplayMate's tests (the Galaxy S7 and S7edge have won the same title in the past),and the Galaxy Note8 has beat the S8's excellent...

Apple's 10.5-inch iPad Pro was only unveiled a couple of months ago during its June event, but it's already seeing a very beefy price cut.

Gionee is working on a phone with an 18:9 near-bezelless screen
The answer to the question "so which is the next Android device maker to adopt the elongated 18:9 or 18.5:9 aspect ratio?" is now clear. The company in question is Gionee, as it's been revealed through a benchmark listing that it's working on just such a device. For now it's identified only by its model number (or codename) SW17W08, and someone in possession of a prototype ran GFXBench. Thankfully, that means we have a pretty good idea of what to expect from this handset. It sports a 6-inch 1,440x720 18:9 touchscreen, for example. This means the display will be larger than the one...
Apple to unveil iPhone 8 on September 12, possibly at Steve Jobs Theater
If you've had enough of all the leaks and are ready for Apple to finally make its latest smartphones official, you'll be happy to know which date to mark in your calendar for that. According to a new report from the Wall Street Journal, the company will be holding an event on September 12. It is currently "aiming" to use the Steve Jobs Theater on its new headquarters campus. However, the new HQ isn't finished yet, and depending on how construction on site goes the company may be unable to actually hold the announcement at the venue. The backup plan is likely to be the Bill Graham Civic...
Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo receives Android 7.0 Nougat update
While Google is busy releasing Android 8.0 Oreo to its supported devices, Samsung keeps on outing Android 7.0 Nougat updates for its smartphones. The latest model to be graced with such a feat is the Galaxy S5 Neo, a handset released exactly two years ago. That makes this certainly the last big software update it will ever see - considering its age, but also the fact that it launched running Lollipop and was then upgraded to Marshmallow too. The Galaxy S5 Neo was produced in two versions, one for Europe and one for Canada. It's the latter (with the model number G903W) that is currently...
Nokia 8 is now available in Finland for €579
The Nokia 8 was finally announced this month, following many rumors and leaks. The phone has so far gone up for pre-order in a few countries, surprisingly costing less than the officially unveiled price of €599 in a lot of places. And now there's another surprise regarding the handset: it's actually in stock already in Nokia's home country of Finland, despite the fact that its release was supposedly happening in early September. That's probably still going to be the case for other territories, but Finland got it first. You can buy a SIM-free and unlocked unit for €579 or you can pick a...

According to sources, 30% of all smartphones sold in the country are in some shade of Pink.

Fitbit unveils its first smartwatch - the Ionic - which runs a custom OS
Fitbit is known for its fitness trackers, but now the company has decided to dive into the smartwatch deal. To do so, it developed its own custom OS - so this isn't Android Wear, Tizen or anything you know so far. No, the Fitbit Ionic watch runs the Ionic OS. That has its advantages - like multi-day battery life, more than four days on a charge. And if your exercise routine requires a lot of GPS tracking (GLONASS too), the watch is good for up to 10 hours of operation. Speaking of exercise, the usual training modes are available as well as swimming. Fitbit Ionic smartwatch The...

The chipset is unknown but the 3,020mAh battery promises to last two days on a single charge. The microUSB port on the bottom is not terribly exciting to see. Huawei P9 lite mini The P9 lite mini will measure 8.05mm thick, which...
