The Android 8.1 beta update started rolling out late last week. Shortly after the roll out began, user reports started pouring in that the update is failing to install. Well, the good news is that the problem is now fixed. The confirmation came in the form of a forum post by a Google employee Orrin. To give you a quick recap of the issue, users said as they attempted to install the OTA update, the phone rebooted and got to the Google logo (this happened multiple times), following which it rebooted back to 8.0. The system then displayed a notification saying "Couldn't install system...

HTC U11+ to come in a new translucent color
HTC is having a launch event on Nov 2 where it will launch the HTC U11+ and another rumored device called the HTC U11 life. We've already seen the latter leaked through benchmarks and photos. However, we still haven't heard much about the HTC U11+, the device rumored to be a refreshed version of the HTC U11 with a taller 18:9 display. Even though details about the device are scarce, we can pretty much imagine what it would look like. Thanks to @evleaks, we are also expecting a new rumored color. HTC U11+ colors: black, silver, translucent.— Evan Blass (@evleaks) October 30,...

Android 8.1 lets you restore data after initial phone setup
Android 8.1 is the first maintenance release after Android 8.0 Oreo. Currently, Pixel owners can download and install the Android 8.1 Beta now, before the update is publicly available. The new update brings a few notable changes like the possibility of Chrome and SMS integration and self-dimming navigation buttons to prevent burn-in. One other new feature that was spotted on Android 8.1 is the ability to restore data from a Google account after choosing to skip the option during the phone's initial setup. The change was discovered by Henry Roggy, who reported the change on his Google+...
Sprint to call off merger with T-Mobile, clash over control of the combined carrier to blame
Rumors of newly rekindled talks about a merger between Sprint and T-Mobile started popping up in September. Then at the beginning of this month it was claimed that the two companies were actually in the final stages of negotiation, so at this point we were expecting an official announcement on the matter. That, however, isn't going to happen, a Nikkei exclusive report says. Sprint owner SoftBank has allegedly decided to call off the merger. It will approach T-Mobile owner Deutsche Telekom as soon as tomorrow to let it know. Telekom and SoftBank had apparently reached "a broad...
YouTube TV finally gets apps for smart TVs, Android TV, Xbox, and Apple TV
YouTube TV is Google's live TV service, which launched earlier this year, and has been expanding its reach within the US ever since. While you have been able to view its programming on TVs by using a Chromecast (including with voice commands through Google Home), only now is the company finally announcing that it's developed a YouTube TV app for actual TVs and consoles connected to TVs. Better late than never, sure - but this has been quite an odd omission so far. Anyway, "in the next few days" a new YouTube TV app will be available for Android TV devices and the Xbox One family. Then "in...
Google Pixel 2 XL review
Google has come a long way since the days of Nexus smartphones. This is only the second iteration of the Google Pixel and it shows how much Google's software and hardware have evolved in the past year. Both Pixel smartphones got a refined, yet simpler appearance. This review is specifically for the larger Pixel 2 XL. We'll be reviewing the smaller Pixel 2, separately.
OnePlus 5T Portrait Mode teased through newly outed camera sample
Earlier today we showed you a leaked press render depicting the top half of the upcoming OnePlus 5T, and now the smartphone is back in the news again. This time, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei took to Twitter to tease us with a camera sample from the yet-unannounced device. While he doesn't outright say that the image was shot with the 5T, it's pretty obviously implied. The picture shows Portrait Mode at work in OnePlus' next handset, and of course it looks impressive - it is, after all, a teaser released by a company exec. It would be weird if it didn't look good. "What phone is he taking...

You can use a standard or compact view and collapse the chat list to focus more on the conversations. Skype...
Essential Phone update brings October security fixes, improved touch scrolling
Despite its recent price drop clearly signifying that sales aren't going as well as anticipated, Essential is still pushing out software updates for its first smartphone, the PH-1. The latest such release is going out over-the-air today to all the units in the wild, as a 74MB download. It is Android 7.1.1 Nougat, build NMJ20D - so no Oreo here, not yet at least. This update is important, however, for other reasons. First off, it brings with it the October security fixes from Google. Second, it also patches the recently unveiled KRACK vulnerability in the WPA2 protocol that secures Wi-Fi...
ZTE Axon M will be available to order from AT&T on November 1, in stores 16 days later
ZTE announced the foldable Axon M smartphone with two screens earlier this month. Back then we did find out that it would be exclusive to AT&T in the United States, as well as how much it would cost. The one piece of the puzzle that has been missing until today - when you'll be able to grab one. Thankfully, AT&T has decided to clear the air on that one. The carrier has revealed that it will start taking online orders for the ZTE Axon M on November 1, which is this Wednesday. The device will then become available in stores on November 17, "just in time for the holidays". The Axon M...

Nintendo expects to move 14M Switch consoles
Nintendo expects to reach its highest earnings in seven years due to impressive Switch sales. The video games maker company doubled its full-year operating profit forecast on Monday after the console production and delivery issues were cleared out. According to Reuters, the Switch demand nearly doubled Nintendo's stock price to a nine-year high since the March launch of the console.

Nokia 8 teardown shows repairs are tricky but doable
Nokia 8 already went through the grueling burn and bend tests of JerryRigEverything and lived, but what if it didn't? How hard would it be to repair a component that broke or failed? Well, nothing like a comprehensive teardown to answer that question. The phone is certainly well-built, but a novice will have a hell of a time trying to repair it. The first obstacle is the screen, which is glued down. Below that things are mostly held down with screws and plenty of them - 30 in total with different sizes and one standoff screw. The copper heat pipe is interesting. It's pretty big, but it...
Apple gives early iPhone X access to some reviewers
Apple has given a few select reviewers an early look at the iPhone X, for hands-on purposes. The videos, from the likes of Boredatwork and others started to show up a few hours ago and more seem to be coming now. The videos give us an early look at the iPhone X but don't expect detailed reviews - these are first-look videos. Here are a few that you might want to check out.
Oppo R11s and R11s Plus pass through TENAA
Oppo itself leaked the new R11s duo, but that page was a touch light on specifications. Good thing we have TENAA to fill us in on the details before the November 2 announcement. Oppo R11s Plus (photos by TENAA) The Oppo R11s and Oppo R11s Plus share the majority of their specs, the major difference being the screen diagonal - 6" and 6.43" respectively. Both are AMOLED panels with 1,080 x 2,160px resolution and 18:9 aspect ratio. The duo will be powered by octa-core processors - Snapdragon 660 is the most likely chipset, so Kryo 260 cores. The R11s has 4GB of RAM, the Plus...
Top half of OnePlus 5T pictured
We've had many chances to gaze at the upcoming OnePlus 5T, but the clarity of this new image is better than what came before. It shows only the top half, but the new design is so symmetrical that the bottom will look fairly similar. The side bezels look exceedingly thin, though we attribute this to the perspective and to general digital trickery. The top bezel of the 18:9 screen seems smaller than that of the current model, though perhaps not as slim as a Galaxy S8 or LG V30. The new screen will have 1,080 x 2,160px resolution (so still no QHD), the battery might bet a bump in capacity...
Xiaomi Mi Max 2 gets MIUI 9 nightly, price cut in India
There are two interesting bits of news for existing and future owners of the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 in India. According to one user on MIUI forum, Xiaomi is now rolling out nightly build of MIUI 9 to Mi Max 2 devices in India. According to Xiaomi, this is a staged rollout to a small group of users for now, so not everyone will be getting it (our own device is still on 8.5.9.0). Still, with the launch of MIUI 9 just three days away, it won't be long before the stable release starts rolling out officially. For prospective Mi Max 2 buyers, the phone is now a bit more affordable. Xiaomi...
HTC U11 Life to cost €369, launch on Oreo
Earlier this month we heard that the HTC U11 Life will cost around €400 and now a new rumor narrows down the price range and offers a few additional tidbits. A new image of the device shows off the "Brilliant Black" color option, which shows a bit of a greenish tint, similar to the bigger U11. The other two color choices are Sapphire Blue and Ice White. Now the price - €369 for the model with 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage. There will be a 4GB/64GB option available in some regions presumably at a premium. Does that feel like the right price for what the U11 Life has to offer? HTC...
MIUI 9 Global ROM starts hitting Xiaomi Mi 6
MIUI was announced back in July, but Xiaomi needed more than three months to launch a stable global ROM. Days before the planned November 2 arrival, some Xiaomi Mi 6 units already started receiving the firmware.

Essential Phone early adopters get $200 vouchers
Last week Essential dropped the price of its PH-1 smartphone by $200, bringing the tag down to $499. But if you paid full price for it you'll now be compensated. The company is giving a $200 Friends & Family code to use towards a new Essential Phone or Essential 360 Camera. So you can either hook up a family member or a friend to what is effectively a $299 Essential phone, or get a free camera. So there you go. While the initial $200 discount already made PH-1 an attractive proposition, those with a $200 Friends & Family code can get the phone for an absolute steal. Source

Shipments for Apple iPhone X have begun
It was late last week when the Apple iPhone X went up for pre-order. And shortly after that, reports started pouring in that first orders for the device have already started shipping in the United States. Sprint became the first US carrier to start sending iPhone X shipment notifications to customers who placed pre-orders, with delivery date set for November 3, which is when the phone officially launches in the country.
