While Google is expanding its mobile payments service Android Pay slowly and steadily, India - world's second-largest smartphone market - is still not among the list of countries where the service is available. That, however, doesn't mean the company doesn't have any plans for the Asian country. According to a new report, the search giant is readying to enter the Indian digital payments market. And no, we are not talking about Android Pay here. The report says the company will very soon launch a entirely new service dubbed Tez, which means fast in the country's official language...

US Cellular outlines iPhone X, iPhone 8, and Apple Watch Series 3 availability
U.S. Cellular customers will be able to begin pre-ordering the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus starting tomorrow, Septembegr 15 at U.S. Cellular stores an online at uscellular.com. The new Apple phones and the cellular-connected Apple Watch Series 3 will be officially released at the carrier on September 22.

While the official launch date of the iPhone X is on November 3, U.S. Cellular customers may...
Quad-camera Huawei G10 (Maimang 6) with 18:9 screen now leaks in press renders
Yesterday Huawei revealed that it's going to unveil the Maimang 6 in China on September 22, and the teaser image the company shared basically confirmed that this will indeed be the first Huawei phone with an 18:9 screen. Then mere hours later we saw a prototype Maimang 6 portrayed in a photo shoot out and about, confirming that aspect ratio and some specs. Now it's time for us to glance at some leaked press renders of the same handset, coming from two different sources. This is definitely leaking more lately than the much more high-end Mate 10, but hopefully that situation will change in...
YU courageously launches Yureka 2 running Android 6.0 Marshmallow
Today YU took the wraps off its latest creation for the Indian market, the Yureka 2. Despite what its name may allege, this is in fact the sixth Yureka-branded phone, following the original Yureka, the Yureka Plus, the Yureka Note, Yureka S, and Yureka Black.

Its main camera is a 16 MP unit with LED flash, while selfies are taken care of by an 8 MP shooter up front. A fingerprint sensor is on the...
Motorola reveals which of its smartphones are getting Android 8.0 Oreo
At the end of last month, Sony revealed which of its smartphones will be receiving updates to Android 8.0 Oreo, and today it was time for Motorola's US arm to do the same. The Lenovo-owned company hasn't committed to any release time frames for any of these, though, so it's anyone's guess when the phones listed below will actually taste Oreo. Here's the list of Motorola phones that will be updated to Android 8.0: • Moto Z2 Force (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon) • Moto Z2 Play (Verizon, unlocked) • Moto Z Force DROID (Verizon) • Moto Z (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, unlocked) •...
Essential Phone gets Oreo within two months, high-end audio accessory with 3.5mm jack coming too
The Essential Phone has finally made its debut in Sprint stores today, and with that its launch is pretty much complete across all channels. The device has already received its first production software update, but that's still Nougat. Wondering when to expect Oreo to drop? "In the next month or two", according to Rebecca Zavin, Essential's VP of Software. She announced this through a Reddit AMA performed alongside Andy Rubin, the company's founder, and three other execs. Essential is also working on a mystery high-end audio accessory that will have a 3.5mm headset jack and a high...
Google confirms October 4 event for unveiling of next-gen Pixel smartphones
If that billboard which surfaced earlier today still didn't convince you that Google is unveiling the Pixel 2 and Pixel XL2 on October 4, then the company's newly-started teaser campaign for the event really should. It's posted the video you can see below both on its YouTube channel and on its Twitter feed, and there's a landing page live too - where you can enter your email if you want to get more information about the handsets once they become official. If you're currently thinking of switching phones, Google thinks you should wait until October 4 and see what it has to offer. And...
Nokia 2 leaked press renders show us black and white color versions, software buttons
HMD Global is getting ready to launch its next Nokia smartphone running Android, and this will in fact be its cheapest yet. We've already told you about the Nokia 2's whopping 4,000 mAh battery earlier today, but how about some leaked press renders showing the device in all its glory? Evan Blass a.k.a @evleaks delivers. The Nokia 2 is going to feature software-rendered Android navigation buttons as you can see, a first for HMD's lineup, owing to the fact that there's no fingerprint scanner on such a low-end device. Based on past rumors and leaks, the Nokia 2 is expected to have a...
Always-On Display is now available on Android Oreo ROM
The Google Pixel 2 XL might come with Always-On Display, previous rumors suggested. But you don't have to wait for that one to get the feature - one user at XDA found a way to run it on any rooted Android Oreo phone. A mere modification of the AmbientDisplayConfiguration.java will make the Always-On Display option to appear in Settings once "false" is changed to "true". Then the Always On Ambient Display pops up inside System UI Tuner. Many unofficial ports already enabled the feature. Google's implementation works similarly to Samsung's or LG's AOD. The...

ASUS ZenFone 4 Selfie The ZenFone 4 Selfie is the most affordable of the bunch.

iPhone 8 and 8 Plus have smaller batteries than last year's iPhones
When Apple announces a phone, it talks more user experience and less numbers. That doesn't work for TENAA, however, the wireless authority that certifies gadgets for use in China. So, here are the battery capacities of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. The milliamp hour numbers have gone down 8% for both sizes of iPhone. And the phones themselves have not gotten thinner or lighter, quite the opposite in fact - they are 0.2mm thicker and weigh 10g and 20g more for the big and small ones, respectively. Battery RAM iPhone 7 1,960 mAh 2 GB ...
Rumored Snapdragon 635 to use Kryo cores on a 14nm process
The Snapdragon 660 is used in several high-end phones while the 630 isn't getting much love. Both are mid-range (so affordable) 14nm chips (so power-efficient), but only one of them uses the faster Kryo cores. A new chip may be coming to bridge the gap between these two. The Snapdragon 635 will also be built on a 14nm LPP process and will use an octa-core Kryo processor - 4 big cores, 4 small. The rumor does not mention clockspeeds, though (the two clusters of the S660 run at up to 2.2GHz / 1.8GHz). The GPU promises to be 20% faster than the Snapdragon 625 GPU. If true, that's not much...
Google Pixel 2 XL pops up on FCC, LG will be making it
Earlier today we told you about a billboard, revealing the launch date of the new Pixel phones by Google. Two devices are expected to arrive - the Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL and the latter just popped up on FCC. The Pixel 2 XL will be built by LG and come with a 6" FullVision screen like the one in the LG G6. The device is not actually listed with the "Pixel" branding at FCC's website, but there are several points that lead to this assumption. The model name G011C has the same first letter as "Google". It also comes close to the G011A (aka the Pixel 2) that stopped by the FCC...
Harga Apple iPhone X dan Spesifikasi Lengkap 2017
Harga Apple iPhone X Akhirnya CEO Apple Tim Cook resmi memperkenalkan Apple iPhone X. Dalam acara perilisan yang dibuka di Amerika Serikat, ia mengatakan bahwa iPhone X merupakan lompatan terbesar Apple dalam hal pembuatan iPhone dari versi pertama. Setelah acara peluncuran selesai, banyak awak media yang mengomentari perangkat pintar terbaru Apple ini. Bahkan Apple iPhone X […]
Apple iPhone X: the rumors that ended up wrong
The last several days have been filled with reactions, memes and comments what the new iPhone is and what isn't. A lot of rumors and alleged live images appeared and while many of them turned out real and gave us a good idea of what to expect, some of them ended up to be unfounded speculations. Everything started with a suggestion from analysts KGI Research that the anniversary iPhone might come with a "Function Area" to occupy the lower portion of its OLED panel. At one point we even thought a TouchBar might be in place, but the iPhone X has a seamless screen with the usual...
Nokia 2 will come with a huge 4,000mAh battery
Hey, remember when Nokia 2 passed through the FCC? Buried under a mountain of wireless connectivity tests was the battery capacity - a whopping 4,000mAh! That's a huge jump over the 5, 6 and 8 models, all three of which have around 3,000mAh. The Snapdragon 210 chipset doesn't use a lot of power - not because it's very efficient (it's a 28nm chip), it's just not very powerful. Couple that with the rumored 4.7-5" screen of modest 720p resolution, the battery life should be stellar. Certainly better than HMD's current entry level phone - the Nokia 3 and its 2,630mAh battery. Anyway,...
Apple iPhone X display: how big is it, really?
The Apple iPhone X has a 5.8" screen... except it doesn't. You can see on the official site that the 5.8" measurement is for a rectangular screen while the X has rounded corners. But that's a minor quibble, the bigger issue is that there's a cutout at the top of the screen, which limits the usable area. The aspect ratio of the new Super Retina Display is 19.5:9, wider than even Samsung's 18.5:9 (LG and Xiaomi use 18:9). But again, the cutout means you get a small screen that you can practically use. In fact, ignoring the top portion leaves a screen that's just about 18.5:9 in aspect...
Huawei Maimang 6 / RNE-AL00 spotted in the wild
Huawei has scheduled an event for September 22, which seems to be for the Maimang 6, aka RNE-AL00. We saw its specs on TENAA, now let's look at some live photos of the device. It has a 5.9" 1080p screen - 1,080 x 2,160px specifically due to the 18:9 aspect ratio (never mind that the benchmark claims 720p). The octa-core chipset has been named - Kirin 659, the chipset used in Huawei's nova 2. It has eight Cortex-A53 cores and a Mali-T830 MP2 GPU, in this case paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage. Huawei Maimang 6 / RNE-AL00 in the wild Additional info from someone who...
Apple iPhone X screen to body ratio compared
Calling the new breed of phones "bezel-less" is a bit of a misnomer - they do have a bezel, just much smaller than traditional phones. Still, it's how they've come to be known and now even Apple makes one. But screen to body numbers get thrown around and some of them are not quite accurate. Things like rounded corners and display cutouts make things yet more complicated, but we took the time to calculate the actual numbers, accounting for all the deviations from the classic rectangular screen. The competitors (not to scale) So here it is. The Apple iPhone X measures among the best....
Facebook's group video chat app Bonfire starts rolling out
A couple of months ago, there were reports that Facebook is working on a standalone group video chat app. Well, now the company has started rolling out the app, dubbed Bonfire. The roll out is limited at the moment, restricted to iOS users in Denmark. Bonfire lets you perform a video chat with several participants at the same time. It is reportedly similar to the Houseparty app, which is currently quite popular among teens. This new Facebook app offers ability to apply Snapchat-like effects. Not only that, you can also share pictures to Instagram, Facebook, and...
BlackBerry Krypton clears FCC
The BlackBerry Krypton, which is expected to be the next smartphone by the TCT-owned brand, has received certification from the FCC in the US. As is usually the case, the FCC certification doesn't reveal much about the device, however, there are a couple of things to note. Firstly, the name Krypton is clearly mentioned in the filenames. And secondly, there's a graphic included as well, although it doesn't give away much about the device. The device has already been certified by Bluetooth SIG and WiFi Alliance (WFA). As for specs, rumors so far say the Krypton will be...
Billboard suggests October 4 unveiling for Google Pixel 2
Last month, serial leakster Evan Blass revealed the next generation Google Pixel smartphones will be officially unveiled on October 5. However, if a newly-spotted Google billboard is anything to go by, the devices may arrive a day earlier. Agreed, the billboard doesn't explicitly say anything, but the words "Ask more of your phone," followed by Google's logo and the date are strong indications that the company is talking about a new phone, details related to which will be outed on October 4. For what it's worth, last year's Pixel event also happened on October 4. The upcoming...
Nougat update starts hitting Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro
Samsung has started pushing out a new update to its Galaxy A9 Pro smartphone. Arriving as firmware version A910FXXU1BQHB and weighing in at just under 1.3GB, it's a major update that bumps the OS version to Android 7.0 Nougat. The update is currently hitting units in India, although other markets (like China and Malaysia, where the device is available) should also get it sooner than later. OTA roll outs are usually gradual, so be patient if you haven't received the update yet - it shouldn't be long now. Via
LG V30 review: All screen
The V-series of phablets was conceived as a novel take on the phablet with a secondary ticker display. Well, that lasted for two product cycles, and the secondary screen is no more. Instead, the LG V30 is all screen.
