HTC and Google have officially announced that the companies have reached a deal. Google will pay HTC $1.1 billion in cash in exchange for some of its employees and Google will have access to HTC's intellectual property. So what does this mean for the future HTC and the Pixel lineup? Certain HTC employees, many of which are currently working with Google to develop the Pixel phones, will join Google. In addition, Google will receive a non-exclusive license for HTC's intellectual property. This means that Google will have access to HTC's manufacturing patents and designs for its future Pixel...

PSA: Turning off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth from Control Center in iOS 11 doesn't actually turn them off
The shiny new iOS 11 went out to supported iDevices yesterday. So you're probably already enjoying its many benefits, but here's something you may not know: the behavior of the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth toggles in Control Center is confusing. You swipe up from the bottom, Control Center appears, you tap the Wi-Fi icon, it dims / turns grey, and voila - you've turned off Wi-Fi, right? Wrong. And the same goes for Bluetooth. It turns out that using Control Center to turn off Wi-Fi only results in your phone immediately disconnecting from any network you are connected to (and auto-join for...
Meizu M20 10,000mAh power bank fast charges both ways
The M6 isn't the only product Meizu unveiled today. Alongside the new smartphone, the Chinese company unleashed the M20 power bank, featuring 10,000mAh capacity and two-way fast charging. What that means is that the M20 will fast charge your phone, but it also fast charges itself. Its 18W input support means it can be fully charged in 3.5 hours when using a fast charger. It works well with MediaTek's dual fast charging. When it comes to topping up your mobile device, the M20 power bank maxes out at 24W, up from 18W in its predecessor introduced back in 2015. There's a button on top,...
Microsoft Surface Pro LTE gets outed ahead of schedule by one UK retailer
Microsoft is widely expected to finally make the LTE-capable Surface Pro official in late October at an event in London. One UK-based retailer, however, simply couldn't wait until then - and decided to list the still unannounced device on its website. What's more, it's even taking pre-orders for the Surface Pro LTE. It's priced at £1,402.80 with a Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. That's a £153.80 markup compared to what Microsoft is currently charging for the same configuration sans LTE connectivity. So expect the US prices to be around $150 steeper for the LTE-enabled...
Quad-camera Huawei Maimang 6 to be sold outside China as Mate 10 Lite, not G10
On September 22, Huawei is set to unveil the Maimang 6 for its home market of China. This phone has been leaking a lot lately, and we thought that it would end up being sold elsewhere as the G10 (since the Maimang 5 got rebranded to G9 Plus outside of China). However, it turns out that Huawei is set to surprise us. While the Maimang 6 will indeed be offered in other markets, it will arrive bearing the name Mate 10 Lite, according to a new report from the usually reliable Evan Blass of @evleaks fame. This is a change in strategy for the Chinese company, but it makes some sense when you...
Moto X4 Android One smartphone becomes official for Fi, priced at $399
The previously leaked Android One version of the Moto X4 has been made official by Google and Motorola today. It's the first Android One device that will be sold in the United States. You'll be able to purchase it from Fi, Google's carrier, for $399. Under the hood this is identical to the already unveiled Moto X4, coming with a 5.2-inch 1080p display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 chipset, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable storage, and a 3,000 mAh battery. On the rear there's a 12 MP + 8 MP dual camera setup, while selfies are snapped by a 16 MP shooter. The Moto X4 is IP68 rated for water...
LG Q6+ launches in India with extra memory
After a month-long wait, the LG Q6+ was officially launched in India. It's the same bezel-less mid-ranger as the regular Q6 but you get more memory (at a higher cost, of course). The Q6+ is available now with 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage, putting it closer to the G6 flagship. However, the performance chasm between the two remains - Snapdragon 435 just isn't very fast. That may have been okay for an INR 15,000 device ($235/€195), but it's going to be a tough sell at INR 18,000 ($280/€235). To be fair, that is still half the price of the full fat LG G6. Source
KGI: Apple to use FaceID on all iPhones next year
Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI Securities correctly predicted that Apple will drop the fingerprint reader, though he wasn't right about the gesture area. Now he's back with another forecast for the future - in 2018 Apple will drop the fingerprint reader altogether. This means that the company will fully rely on the new Kinect-like TrueDepth camera and FaceID system. But the camera does more than authentication - it also enables animojis and future tech based on the system (like the Snapchat demo). The in-display fingerprint reader reportedly remains a challenge as Apple's 3D Touch makes the...
Huawei Mate 10 to come in four flavors, here are their code names
The Mate family tree is getting complicated - according to the most recent rumors, there will be three or even four versions. They will differ in what screens they use and the Leica camera will be reserved for the higher-end models. The Huawei Mate 10 Pro is code named Blanc and will have a 5.9" AMOLED screen with QHD resolution and a new Leica dual cam. The base Mate 10 will stick to an IPS LCD screen with 1080p resolution, but will keep the camera. This one is dubbed Alps. These two will start at $850 and $650 respectively. Then there's the Mate 10 Lite (aka Rhone), which...

HTC reportedly has a huge announcement for tomorrow
China Times claims that trading of HTC shares will be suspended tomorrow, September 21, pending a major announcement. The publication goes on to say that the HTC headquarters are busy with people preparing for a major presentation - the second floor is filled with chairs and screens. It has been rumored for months that Google is interested in acquiring parts of the HTC business. Note "parts" 0 the HTC brand will remain independent but will be refocused to the Vive VR headset. Google will acquire the manufacturing and R&D capacity of the Taiwanese firm that brought the first Android...
LG V30 taken apart, watch its f/1.6 camera torn to pieces
Smartphone camera lenses are mentioned usually if they have an impressively wide aperture or bear a famous brand name. But have you actually seen a phone camera lens? The LG V30 includes a glass element in its lens assembly to improve image quality and boasts the widest aperture on a smartphone yet - f/1.6 - plus OIS. A lot of things to cram in such a small package and now you can see it all taken apart on video. As for the phone itself, it has a fairly repair-friendly design. No, the battery is not user-replaceable like on previous V-series phones. And a cracked screen likely mean that...

You can get the Samsung Galaxy S7 for $465 in India
If you are in India, and wouldn't mind using last year's tech you might want to take a look at the deal Flipkart is offering. As part of its Big Billion Day sale, the online retailer will be selling the Samsung Galaxy S7 for INR 29,990 ($465). That's down from the usual INR 46,000 ($715) price tag the phone usually carries at the retailer's website. A quick look at the official Samsung India website as well as Amazon India website reveals the phone is currently going for INR 39,400 (around $610), so those availing Flipkart's offer will get to save INR 9,410 ($145).
