Galaxy Note8 pre-orders top all of its predecessors' in the US, 400,000 logged in one day in Korea
Today Samsung has proudly announced that it's received more pre-orders for the Galaxy Note8 in the US than for any of its six predecessors. This means it's already shaping up to be the best selling Note ever, and it's not even in stores yet - it will make its debut on physical retail shelves on September 15. The company is obviously pretty happy with this accomplishment, as you'd imagine. Over in its home country of South Korea, 395,000 pre-orders for the phone have been logged after just one day. The ill-fated Note7 managed to net 380,000 pre-orders over the entire 13-day pre-sale...
YouTube rolls out HDR support for Pixels, Galaxy S8 and Note8, LG V30, and Sony Xperia XZ Premium
The YouTube app for Android is starting to support HDR videos on select devices. Google is currently rolling out the new feature.

In order to tell if you're one of the lucky ones, you need to play a...
Galaxy Note8 teardown reveals modular but tough to get to components
The latest handset to go through the teardown procedures performed by the folks at iFixit is Samsung's new flagship, the Galaxy Note8. It's managed to fare much better in the repairability department than the recently torn down Essential Phone, but that doesn't mean the Note8 is easy to get into - at all, unfortunately. Any repair you may want to make requires you to remove the glass rear panel, which is a challenging task to accomplish because of how much adhesive is holding it in place. If you want to replace the screen, you'll need to remove both the display assembly and the rear panel...

Snapdragon 836 delayed until next year, Pixel 2 will use 835
The Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL will likely be powered by a Snapdragon 835, instead of a Snapdragon 836.

Xiaomi Mi Note 3 gets official teaser, will be the bigger Mi 6
Xiaomi's co-founder Lin Bin is at it again, teasing the maker's upcoming smartphones. In his latest post on Weibo he asks if we want the Mi Mix 2 or a larger version of the Mi 6.

WhatsApp has updated the stable version of the app with a couple of features that it added to the beta version a while back. Users can now enjoy PiP video calls and have text-only Status messages.

WhatsApp takes advantage of this feature by letting you minimize your video call to a small window if you leave the main app and...
Samsung SM-G892U gets WiFi certified, could be global Galaxy S8 Active
A new Samsung smartphone has been certified by the WiFi Alliance (WFA). The listing reveals the device carries a model number of SM-G892U, and runs Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box. The model number (SM-G892U) is similar to the one that the existing Samsung Galaxy S8 Active carries (SM-G892A). So it's quite possible Samsung is preparing to launch a new variant of the S8 Active. The 'U' towards the end of the model number further hints that the SM-G892U could possibly be the unlocked global Galaxy S8 Active model - the initial S8 Active, as has always been the case with Galaxy S...
