T-Mobile adds a data cap to it's "Mobile Without Borders" program
A couple of years ago, T-Mobile announced "Mobile Without Borders" feature, which allows T-Mobile customers to roam to Canada or Mexico with full 4G LTE speeds and without roaming fees. The new feature was part of Magenta's ‘Un-Carrier Amped' campaign which beat one-upped AT&T's announcement at the time to make roaming in Mexico free. Anyway, the feature has had enough time to mature and for T-Mobile to figure out the cost-effectiveness of the feature and what the actual usage has been. According to T-Mobile, less than 1% of those who travel to Mexico and Canada use less than 5GB of...
Apple releases iOS 11.0.3 update for iPhone and iPad
Apple has released the iOS 11.0.3 update for iPhone and iPad. The update is about 285MB in size and comes shortly after the iOS 11.0.2 update that came out just last week. This is a bug fix update and focuses on two main issues. The first is an issue with audio and haptic feedback on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, which would not work in some cases. The other is a touch input responsiveness issue on the iPhone 6s units serviced with non-genuine parts. Apple also took this moment to warn against the use of non-genuine replacement displays, which could have compromised visual...
HTC sees monthly revenues double for September
HTC has announced that it saw consolidated revenue for September 2017 of NT$6.51 bn (US$215 million). This represents more than double the revenue for August 2017 of NT$3,00 bn. It would be a safe guess to say that revenues have likely been boosted by shipments to Google of the recently launched Google Pixel 2 which HTC manufactures. However, the big picture is less positive as this represents a 30% decline Year-On-Year. Monthly Consolidated Revenue Let's see if HTC can finish the year strong as it's rumored to be launching several new phones before the year is out, one of...
Apple is working with LG Display on a foldable iPhone for 2020
The soon to be released iPhone X may be a revolutionary step forward for Apple's smartphone designs, but it will by no means be the last. In fact, what could be considered an even bigger leap is expected to arrive in three years. That is if a new report from South Korea turns out to be accurate. It claims that Apple has teamed up with LG Display to develop a foldable iPhone. The handset could go on sale in 2020. Not only is LG's screen-making subsidiary working alongside Apple on the project, but the parts-making LG Innotek has also set up a team to develop the necessary flexible circuit...
Honor WaterPlay tablet announced too
There aren't many Android smartphone makers that still consistently push out tablets powered by Google's OS too, but Huawei is among the few that keep at that game. Today its online-only sub-brand Honor took the wraps off its newest creation, the WaterPlay. This was unveiled alongside the Honor 7X handset we told you about earlier. As its name strongly implies, the WaterPlay is water-resistant, adhering to the IP67 standard in fact. That means submerging it in up to 1m of water for up to 30 minutes shouldn't pose any problems. The Honor WaterPlay is powered by the same Kirin 659...
Honor to launch a bezel-less phone on December 5
Honor just introduced the 7X, but another announcement is just around the corner. The company sent out media invites for an event in London. December 5 will be the day a smartphone with barely existent bezels will be introduced. The invitation runs the slogan "Max your view", suggesting a phablet with rounded corners and a 2.5D curved screen is being announced. The poster also reveals that the bezel-less Honor will have dual cameras (the OO part of the #IOOI tag) and will be AI-focused (the second O is modeled to look like a droid). Given that Huawei recently announced the Kirin...
New Amazon Kindle Oasis is waterproof, has a bigger screen
Amazon lifted the cover of the second-generation Kindle Oasis ebook reader - and now this premium device is actually a good device as well! Seriously, it's now waterproof to live up to its name and has a bigger screen to boot. The new model has a 7" screen (up from 6") but keeps the 300ppi pixel density. It has three times more LEDs to light up the screen than the regular Paperwhite for a bright, even illumination. That's two more LEDs than the original Oasis (12 vs 10). The aluminum back and soft touch plastic on the front and sealed tight, the 2nd gen Oasis can survive under 2m of...

Samsung's ISOCELL camera sensor brand has two new additions - one in the Fast and one in the Slim categories. The first one is a smaller version of Samsung's 12MP Dual Pixel sensor, that will eliminate the camera bump even on thin phones.

Huawei Honor 7X goes official with 18:9 screen, dual camera
Huawei just introduced Honor 7X, meaning its sub-brand has officially entered the world of 18:9 screens (we're not counting this one, which is sold under four different names).

YouTube testing auto-play feature for homepage videos on Android
YouTube is testing a new auto-play feature for videos. Not to be confused with an existing similar feature (that allows the mobile app to automatically play the next video after the current one ends), this new functionality is for the videos that appear in the Home feed. Videos play without sound and instead you see subtitles, giving you an idea on what's going on in the video. While you can see a complete video this way, the playback will stop as soon as you scroll up or down, resulting in the current video (that's now visible on screen) being auto-played. The feature - which...
