Google has started pushing out a new update to its Pixel series smartphones, but there's an issue with it. Several users that have received the update say the update is labeled as Android Nougat (version 7.1.2), while their units are already running the latest Oreo OS. So does that mean it's a downgrade OTA? Well, it certainly appears so, but actually isn't. A quick restart of the device, which installs the update, results in just Android security level being bumped to September - OS remains at Oreo. So it's safe to say that the update only contains the latest security security...

Apple unveils iPhone X with bezel-less AMOLED screen
Welcome to the Gen X phone - 10 years after the launch of the phone that redefined what "smartphone" means, we have the iPhone X. A decade ago, most smartphone owners used keypads but very quickly they wanted to use nothing but a touchscreen. Today Apple reached the inevitable conclusion - the sole hardware button that controlled iOS has been retired. It's all screen on the front now and it marks more than one first for Apple. The iPhone X uses the company's first AMOLED display on a phone (after a couple of years of experience with the Apple Watch). The screen panel is called Super...
Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus have A11 Bionic chips, new cameras, old screens
While the star of today's Apple event is the 10 year anniversary iPhone X, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus bring enough improvements to carry the lineup on their own. The Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus bring a new design with glass on the front and back, the latest Apple A11 Bionic six-core chipset, new cameras, louder stereo speakers and new durable glass. Underneath the glass the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch display are the same as on the iPhone 7/7 Plus. You still get 3D Touch, Cinema Wide Color Gamut and True Tone. The same goes for the Retina resolution that remains unchanged. The iPhone 8...

New Apple TV 4K adds UHD and HDR support
Apple sees movies and shows as a new avenue of growth - the company is already producing shows and is even rumored to be bidding on the James Bond movie rights. But to make that work, it will need to update the Apple TV, which hasn't seen a refersh since 2015. So feast your eyes on the Apple TV 4K - the main upgrade should be obvious, but HDR is also a part of it. Specifically, HDR10 and Dolby Vision, which are the two predominant HDR formats right now (and are seeing support from major streaming sites like Netflix and Amazon). Developing...
Apple's iPhone X livestream starts 5PM GMT, here's how to watch it
The inaugural event at the Steve Jobs Theater will mark the 10th anniversary of the iPhone - the gadget that changed the smartphone field. We know what to expect beyond the iPhone X (get it, like Mac OS X, it is the 10th version), but watching Tim Cook & co unveil the things live is still going to be a lot of fun. You can watch the livestream here - note that you need either Apple hardware (anything that plays video) or if you're running Windows 10 then Microsoft Edge would also work. We'll try to embed a player on this page but Apple has never been keen to make streaming their events...
What's up, Mate? TENAA certifies a Huawei with 5.9" 18:9 screen, dual camera
Could this be the Huawei Mate 10? It was rumored to have a 5.9" screen with 1,080 x 2,160px resolution (that's 1080p expanded to 18:9) and this is exactly what this phone spotted on TENAA promises - the RNE-AL00 or Maimang 6 (not one of the rumored code names). Anyway, we're looking at a phone that measures 156.2 x 75.2 x 7.5mm or in other words slightly taller than the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 (which has a 6" 1,080 x 2,160px screen). Inside the metal body is a 3,240mAh battery, the whole thing weighs 164g. The dual camera on the back has a 16MP + 2MP sensors while the dual camera on the front...

HTC U11 gains 1080p/60 video mode in the UK
An update enabled 1080p/60 video capture on the HTC U11 first in Taiwan and now in the UK too. The update appears similar, though it is a bit larger. You'll have to download 707MB to update to software version 1.27.91.4 while the Taiwan one was 663MB. Either way, we recommend downloading it over Wi-Fi. HTC U11 gains 1080p/60 video mode in the UK The update also adds the "latest Android security update" (should be the August patch) and as well as the generic-sounding "system enhancements." Source
iPhone X spotted on Geekbench, iPhone 7s appears on AnTuTu

The iPhone X will use the new A11 chipset with a 6-core processor and 3GB of RAM. iPhone X will sport the latest A11 chipset and 3 gigs of RAM So how much or how little has the iPhone 7s changed?

The screen is the same as the iPhone 7 - that is 750 x 1,334px resolution - and the memory is the same - 2GB RAM, 32GB storage. Going by the...
iPhone 7s shows up at AnTuTu, brings the same old screen
Unsurprisingly, the iPhone 8 or X has been getting the most attention from the rumor mill as the other two are said to be iterative updates. How small can an iterative update be? Let's turn to AnTuTu for an answer. The iPhone 10,4 showed up with iOS 11 running on an Apple A11 chipset. The screen is the same as the iPhone 7 - that is 750 x 1,334px resolution - and the memory is the same - 2GB RAM, 32GB storage. Going by the dimensions the screen will stay exactly the same at 4.7" big. Apple iPhone 7s specs (detected by AnTuTu) The benchmark got a big question mark as far as the...
Qualcomm taunts Apple with a list of Android firsts
Apple's iPhone event is what everyone is looking forward to today, but Qualcomm is set to rain on the Cupertino's company parade. It released a list of Android firsts trying to imply that Apple is playing catch up rather than leading the market lately. Qualcomm boasts about laying the foundation for "so many technologies and experiences we value in our smartphones today". It mentions the Gigabit LTE, available in all Snapdragon 835 devices. Although the chipset company listed sample devices (not to be confused with pioneers or firsts), we are pretty sure the Galaxy S8 still does not...

He said that...
LG V30 undercuts the price of Galaxy Note8 in Canada and South Korea
LG has been very aggressive in moving the LG V30 to an advantageous position against its chief rival - first it was the same day launch in multiple countries (September 15) and now it's undercutting the price. It seems that Canadian carrier Telus will offer the V30 for CAD1,000 SIM-free and CAD500 on a premium smartphone line. For comparison, the carrier is charging CAD550 for the Galaxy Note8 with contract. It's the same story in the home country of the two competing giants.

New Amazon Fire TV devices leak in pictures and specs
Two new Fire TV devices by Amazon leaked, revealing an expansion of the streaming portfolio. A new Fire TV with an HDMI cable sticking out will arrive as a mid-range device, while a set-top box in the shape of a cube will be the high-end model by Amazon.

Google appeals EU's €2.4B fine
Google filed an appeal against the European Commission's decision to fine it a record €2.4 billion earlier this year. The Alphabet affiliate is positive that the amount might change for good after Intel managed to overturn an 8-year-old decision for anti-competitive behavior. The European Commission ordered Google on June 27 to stop tampering with results on Google Shopping and gave the company two months to comply with the decision. With the September 28 date closing, Google had not asked for an interim order of the suspension, according to a court spokeswoman. The search...

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 scores over 250K registrations in less than a day
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, which was officially unveiled yesterday, has already crossed over 250K registrations. While that's certainly good news, it isn't exactly surprising given the level of interest surrounding the company's Mix series. Keep in mind these are registrations we're talking about, and not pre-orders - no money has changed hands yet. The device will go on sale September 15, and as is usually the case it'd be a flash sale. The 8GB RAM variant will not be part of the first sale. In case you missed it, the company has also confirmed the handset will be made available in India...

The Galaxy Note8 is also the first Samsung phone to...
Xiaomi Mi A1 global rollout starts

The handset went on sale in India today but the number of available units is allegedly going to be quite low.

vivo confirms all-black Mars Edition X20 variant
vivo recently confirmed the unveiling date for its upcoming X20 smartphone - September 21. Today, the Chinese manufacturer has shared some new teasers for the device that suggest a special, all-black Mars Edition will debut alongside the standard X20.
