Sprint currently has two MVNO networks that run on its cell towers: Virgin Mobile, which is aimed at iPhone users, and Boost Mobile, which offers a variety of Android smartphones from premium to low budget. ZTE has launched the Tempo X on Boost Mobile, an $80 smartphone with a 5" 480p display, a 5MP main camera with a secondary 2MP front-facing camera for selfies. ZTE Tempo X There's a 2,200 mAh removable battery, which, paired with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 CPU, should make for decent battery life.

With today's official release of iOS 11, Apple has also announced in brief post on its Developer's Blog that it is increasing the limit of the size of Apps that can be downloaded from the App Store over a cellular connection.

We've increased the cellular download limit from 100 MB to 150 MB, letting customers download more apps from the App Store over their cellular network. Customers should be able to decide which apps to download and if they want to download a 400MB game using their cellular...
T-Mobile and Sprint in talks of a merger, again
The stock price of both T-Mobile and Sprint have each increased in light of new rumors that talks of a merger between Sprint and T-Mobile have rekindled. The last time we heard of this was from German media in June. This morning, CNBC reported that "people close to the situation" have said that negotiations are weeks away from reaching a verdict with the chance of reaching an agreement up in the air. The two companies are said to be actively engaged in figuring out the terms of a possible agreement. This time around, Softbank would become a large minority holder of T-Mobile which would...
Google Pixelbook convertible runs Chrome OS, has optional stylus, arrives on October 4
Wondering what else Google has prepared for its October 4 hardware event, aside from the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones, Home Mini smart speaker, and new Daydream View VR headset? The answer is simple: a convertible - a laptop that turns into a tablet. It's going to be called Pixelbook, and it's shaping up to be the successor for the two generations of Chromebook Pixel that Google previously launched. Like those devices, the Pixelbook will be anything but cheap. It will start at $1,199 (with 128GB of storage), but can go up to a whopping $1,749 (with 512GB of space). It runs...
$49 Google Home Mini leaks alongside the $99 new Daydream View headset
Google's next Pixels aren't the only products expected to be introduced at its October 4 event that have leaked today. In fact, we're also treated to images and a few details regarding the Google Home Mini and the Daydream View 2017. The Google Home Mini is exactly what its name implies - a smart speaker that's smaller than the Google Home that is turning one. It doesn't have a battery, so you'll need to keep it plugged in. Given its smaller size, expect the audio quality for music not to be in the same ballpark as what the full-size Home can provide. Google Home Mini leaked...
Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL leak in many colors, have prices revealed
Google is announcing its new Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones at an event on October 4. Today a few renders of the two devices have been leaked, showing us a number of different color versions. We can only see their backs in these, but the previously outed design language is confirmed once more. Let's start with the Pixel 2. This is shown here in Kinda Blue, Clearly White, and Just Black - as Google seems set to once more grace the world with funny marketing names for color versions, following last year's Quite Black, Very Silver, and Really Blue. Google Pixel 2 leaked...
Just-in: Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact hands-on
In the era of bezel-less edge-to-edge-screen display TM, Sony stays loyal to its rectangular design of the Xperia smartphones that so many fans enjoy. Three new phones appeared at IFA 2017, and the cute XZ1 Compact arrived from Berlin for a full review. What immediately strikes us are the sharp colors of the phone. The Twilight Pink can be mistaken for Peach while the Horizon Blue is neither blue nor the color of the horizon at any given moment of the day. But it glows with a charming vibe, and the small size of the device surely adds to it. We rarely see flagship chipset packed in...

Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus review roundup
Every year around this time Apple releases its new iPhones and every year we get a few early reviews in just before the phone goes on sale. But this time, Apple has a more interesting phone coming out in November - the iPhone X - casting a shadow over the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus - are they still worth it with a design dating back to 2014? Let's see what the reviewers say. The consensus is that the Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are let down by a tired design that's built on huge bezels and familiar aesthetics, but the new camera, wireless charging and chip partially make up for...
Xiaomi Mi 5X review: Popularity contest
The Xiaomi Mi 5X was unveiled as the first smartphone to carry the new MIUI 9 out of the box. But its key feature lies elsewhere - the Mi 5X has a similar dual-camera setup to the flagship Mi 6 model. Add Redmi Note 4's chipset and pricing, plus the premium design of the Mi Max 2 - and you get the Mi 5X.

Protect your Samsung Galaxy Note8 with one of these official cases
The Galaxy Note8 maybe be water and dust proof, but that doesn't mean it can't use a case for some extra protection.

The new Amazon Kindle Fire HD 10 offers a 1080p screen for just $150
Amazon updated the Fire HD 10 tablet last year, but at $230 for an HD screen it wasn't so hot. But how does $150 for a FullHD screen sound? With double the storage to boot! Yes, the new Kindle Fire HD 10 tablets are decidedly more attractive and their price is well into "impulse buy" territory. The new screen has an IPS panel that measures 10.1" with 1,920 x 1,200px resolution (224ppi). That's up from 1,280 x 800px, which didn't really cut it for a 10" tablet. The Dolby Atmos stereo speakers are still on board. Amazon doubled the RAM and storage too. You get 2GB of RAM - not much...
Deal: save a few quid off an iPhone 8 or 8 Plus with a 1-month contract
You'll have to trade many portraits of Her Majesty to grab an iPhone 8. Carphone Warehouse has a slightly better deal than the £700 that Apple charges - you can get the 64GB phone for £660 and a one-month contract on Vodafone, O2 or EE. That single month will cost you between £14.5 and £17. You don't get much data or call time, but you can switch to a better plan in 30 days. Keep in mind that most subsidized deals for the iPhone 8 typically ask for £50 a month for two years, so you'll get over the £700 SIM free price pretty quickly. If you're interested in more storage, the 256GB...
ZTE nubia NX595J promises to be a 5.73" bezel-less wonder
The war on bezels rages on - a new ZTE nubia (NX595J) has surfaced and it seems that victory is in its sights. The top and bottom bezels measure a measly 3mm, barely there especially when measured against the 5.73" screen. The side bezels are even slimmer, the aluminum frame of the phone is barely visible from the front. The glass above the screen is curved on all four sides, though it's not clear if it tries to pull off the visual tricks some of the older nubias had (the curved glass bends the light, hiding the bezel). ZTE nubia NX595J Assuming these images are representative...

Huawei Mate 10 poses for a photo

The phone has razor thin side bezels with a 2.5D glass, the top and bottom bezels are small and symmetrical. The screen itself is a bit of an unknown as there are two or three versions.
