HTC has been making the news more frequently now as its next launch event approaches. Earlier today, HTC tweeted a teaser with the launch event date, and the words "Even more squeezed in", making an indirectly direct reference to the rumored re-release of the HTC U11. One that would sport a taller, 6-inch, 18:9 display in a similar footprint, keeping all the other specs and features of the HTC U11. The "squeezed" part makes a reference the HTC's Edge Sense feature, which offers shortcuts to apps or actions. A new squeeze is coming. 11.02.2017 #BrilliantU http://pic.twitter.com/eOZom2RYM0— HTC...

Microsoft Surface Pro with LTE Advanced launches in December starting at $1,149
After having leaked back in September, Microsoft's new Surface Pro with LTE Advanced (that's the actual product name) has now become official at the company's Future Decoded event in London, just as anticipated. The Surface Pro LTE features Qualcomm's X16 mobile data modem, with 20 bands built-in for seamless global connectivity. With its support for LTE Cat.9, the Surface Pro will be able to reach peak download speeds of up to 450Mbps, which Microsoft says makes it "the fastest LTE-enabled laptop in its class", since competitors top out at Cat.6 (300Mbps). The new computer will...
Google outs Hangouts Meet hardware for your conference room
Back in March Google pivoted Hangouts into a business-focused service. And today it's introducing the first Hangouts Meet hardware bundle to make video meetings easier to manage and of better quality. The Hangouts Meet hardware bundle consists of an Asus Chromebox, a 4K camera, a speaker-mic, and a touchscreen controller. The Chromebox runs Chrome OS, and can automatically push updates to the other components in the hardware kit. The 4K camera has a 120-degree field-of-view, thus easily capturing everyone at the table even in small spaces. It's built with machine learning and can...
Best Buy stops selling full price iPhone X and iPhone 8 after pricing backlash
Last week Best Buy was caught overpricing the iPhone X and iPhone 8 units bought outright, without a carrier's monthly installment plan. If you wanted the handset and nothing more, you had to pay $100 extra compared to Apple's prices. That obviously resulted in online backlash against the company, because such a practice was deemed unfair. In response to that backlash, Best Buy has now decided to simply stop selling the newest iPhones outright. Yes, instead of lowering the prices to the Apple-recommended levels, the retailer is taking a stand and now only offers the iPhone X and iPhone 8...
Huawei Mate 10 Pro to land in the UK on November 17 for £699
Huawei's Mate 10 lineup is rather confusing for more reasons than one. If you live in the UK, however, rest assured that you won't have to scratch your head trying to decide between the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro. That's because only the latter model will be officially available in the UK. The Mate 10 Pro is now said to arrive on November 17 for a price of £699, in SIM-free and unlocked form. At the current exchange rates, that equates to exactly €799, which is its recommended retail price for the Eurozone, so the Chinese company isn't trying to play any games here at least. Three and...
"Unstoppable" BlackBerry Motion reaches Canada on November 10

Bluetooth Fast Pair for Android 6.0 and up seamlessly connects supported accessories
Undoubtedly inspired by the 'magic' Apple was able to accomplish with its W1 chip for Bluetooth accessories, today Google has officially announced Bluetooth Fast Pair for Android. This will work with any device running Android 6.0 and up which has Google Play Services 11.7 or later installed. As the name implies, Fast Pair will make the usually cumbersome pairing procedure for Bluetooth accessories seamless. When a supported device is near your phone, you'll get a notification like the one you see in the capture below (with the image of the product, no less). You simply tap that, and...
Apple releases iOS 11.1, watchOS 4.1, macOS High Sierra 10.13.1, and tvOS 11.1
After a few weeks of beta testing, Apple has finalized iOS 11.1 and made it available today for supported devices. This release doesn't bring huge new features compared to iOS 11, which debuted last month, but that doesn't mean you should ignore it. Headlining iOS 11.1 are over 70 new emoji, including new food types, animals, mythical creatures, clothing options, more expressive smiley faces, and gender-neutral characters. As usual, there are many improvements and bug fixes in tow too. Support for accessing the app switcher by 3D Touch pressing the edge of the display is brought...
Deal: Sony Xperia XZs gets discounted in the US
Earlier this year, Sony released the Xperia XZs, a colorful phone with a 5.2-inch IPS LCD, a Snapdragon 820 with 4GB of RAM, IP68 and Sony's Motion Eye 19MP camera. And while all of that sounds great the XZs was a bit too expensive at launch - something Sony is remedying now. In the US the Sony Xperia XZs has gotten a healthy discount across major retailers and is currently going for $499 at Amazon, B&H Photo Video and Focus. Even so, you might want to consider the Sony Xperia XZ1, which has been discounted from $699 down to $599 (Amazon / B&H) - for that price you'd be getting...
Neffos with 18:9 screen and Snapdragon 835 leaks
TP-Link might be famous with their networking solutions, but the company also outs smartphones from time to time. You may remember the X1 and the X1 Max, but now a flagship is on its way. According to sources, it will have top notch specs like Snapdragon 835 and dual camera setup. The yet unnamed phone is coming with an 18:9 screen with curved edges on the front. This will means there is no room for a home button or a fingerprint scanner, so the latter moves to the back, right below the dual cameras. One of the sensors is 16 MP, while the other is 20 MP and is said to offer 2x...

Xiaomi ships 10 million phones in October
Xiaomi shipped 10 million phones in September and it has repeated this feat in October as well. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun posted the good news on his Weibo account while reminding people of the upcoming sale of the Mi 5X (known elsewhere as Mi A1) on November 1. Hey, you don't ship 10 million phones in a month without selling 24/7. Upcoming Xiaomi Mi 5X (Mi A1) sale Anyway, the company recently set an ambitious goal for itself - to ship 90 million phones this year.

T-Mobile leaks HTC U11 Life in detail
It seems that T-Mobile jumped the gun on HTC U11 Life unveiling and put up a page on its website - it was taken down, but not before screenshots recorded all the relevant info for posterity. Unfortunately, there was no confirmation or refutal of the €369 price. HTC U11 Life in Sapphire Blue Note that the operating system is specified as Android 7.1.1 Nougat with HTC Sense - not 8.0 Oreo as rumors suggested earlier. The U11 Life was supposed to be an Android One phone, but this doesn't seem to be the case. The Snapdragon 630 chipset is a lock, though. The spec sheet shows a...
Apple plans to drop Qualcomm modems in 2018
We already reported Apple is developing an in-house GPU and has purchased CVD machines to build its own OLED panels. A new report says Cupertino is about to change its chipset provider too. According to sources, Qualcomm has stopped providing software for testing the iPhones and therefore Apple is thinking of other options. The change will affect the devices released in fall 2018, which is when the next-gen iPhones will be announced. Right now both companies are involved in a number of legal disputes, but Qualcomm last said it didn't expect that to affect the business...
