While rumors of a Samsung Galaxy S8 mini never panned out, perhaps next year's going to be the lucky one for people looking for a diminutive flagship smartphone that isn't made by Sony. A new report coming from some unnamed sources claims that Samsung is working on a Galaxy S9 Mini, a handset that should debut alongside the S9 and S9+ in March 2018. The S9 Mini will allegedly have a screen under 5" in size, with curved edges. There's no information about what aspect ratio it will have, but if Samsung sticks with 18.5:9 (as seen in the S8, S8+, and Note8) then this will indeed be a tiny...

Deal: Dual-SIM Samsung Galaxy Note8 drops to $789.99 unlocked
If you're in the US and crave a Galaxy Note8 but don't want to pay upwards of $900 for an unlocked unit, here's a deal for you. A top-rated eBay seller with 99.5% positive feedback is offering you the opportunity to buy the international dual-SIM variant of the phone for less - much less, in fact. The SM-N950FD iteration of the Note8 can be yours for just $789.99 at the moment, and you can pick from gold, black, gray, and pink color versions. Only the blue one is out of stock.

Deal: Sony Xperia XZ for $304.99
Sony's Xperia XZ has dropped to a new low today, price-wise. In the past we've seen this particular model retailing for just $399.99 in May and even $314.99 last month. But it's never gone all the way down to $304.99 - until now. That's exactly the amount you need to pay for an Xperia XZ if you don't mind purchasing yours from B&H. The retailer says you're saving $70 compared to its normal pricing of $374.99, and that's nothing to scoff at. The Xperia XZ launched around one year ago, boasting a 5.2-inch 1080p touchscreen, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of expandable storage. It's powered by...

The new Firefox Quantum web browser is now out of beta. Mozilla, the not-for-profit organization that makes Firefox, claims Quantum is twice as fast as its original browser was six months ago.

The Pocket service is built right into the toolbar, for...
Apple once again leads the wearable market, followed by Xiaomi and Fitbit
For the third quarter of 2017, Apple was once again the leader of the wearable market. The company making the Apple Watch found itself in that position in Q1 as well, but in Q2 it was overtaken by both Xiaomi and Fitbit. These are still the names in the top 3 - for Q3 2017 Apple leads, followed by Xiaomi and Fitbit. Apple is estimated to have shipped 3.9 million wearables between July and September. Xiaomi moved 3.6 million units during the same time frame, while Fitbit managed 3.5 million sales. This means Apple now commands 23% of the wearable market, Xiaomi has to make do with...
At long last, Google Assistant will come to tablets
After inexplicably leaving Android tablets out of the Google Assistant party, Google is finally ready to let them in. The latest beta (7.16) for the Google app lists a tablet icon under Availability, which should indicate that Assistant is coming to Android slates soon. The beta app itself doesn't yet offer the Google Assistant, though, instead reverting to Google Now on Tap. Google app 7.16, Image Credit 9to5Google Google Assistant is available on all Android 7.0 and above smartphones, Android TVs, Chrome OS on the Pixelbook, various car infotainment systems and even on iOS...
iPhones in 2019 to come with a 3D sensor on the back too
Apple's TrueDepth selfie camera features a 3D sensor and starting from 2019 the rear camera might have a 3D sensor of its own. The company is allegedly talking to several component suppliers and evaluating its options. The rear 3D sensor will help enhance Apple's ARKit as it will give true measurements of distance rather than the estimates provided by the camera setup. Presumably it will also be used to enhance Portrait mode, similar to the selfie camera. Unlike the front sensor - which users the structured light approach of the original Kinect - the rear sensor will use a...
Apple A11X to arrive with octa-core CPU, rumor suggests
Apple announced its new chipset A11 Bionic in September along with the iPhone X and iPhone 8 duo. The company usually manufactures an X version of its latest chipset for new iPads, so in the spring we should expect the A11X. According to industry insiders, this will be the first Apple chipset with eight CPU cores and will be built on the TSMC 7nm technology process. The new octa-core CPU is expected to come with three powerful Monsoon cores and five efficient Mistral cores. It should start shipping in the first quarter next year, right in time for the iPad Pro 2018 series...
Pixel and Nexus 6P get Always-on Display without root
The Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL premiered Always-on display on pure Android, but the functionality didn't trickle down to the original Pixel and Pixel XL. Yet, it's now possible to enable Always-on display without root on the Android 8.1 Oreo developer preview on the Google Pixel, Pixel XL and even Huawei Nexus 6P. Image credit: InFlames03 The process is a bit technical and requires some time and studious following of instructions. You can find a full guide in the source link. The short version is this: you need to setup a theme manager app, buy a $1.99 plugin for it, install...
GFX Bench: Sony H3213 Avenger could be the first Xperia with a dual camera
Sony is one of the few makers still to adopt the dual camera, but that may soon change with a mid-range device - the Sony Xperia H3213 Avenger. Unfortunately, awesome as it is this is just the code name. We think this could be an XA Ultra device. The phone sports a 16MP + 8MP camera on the front capable of 4K video capture. The rear camera seems fairly impressive too - a single 21MP sensor that also does 4K video. Why is not a future flagship then? It's the Snapdragon 630 chipset paired to 4GB of RAM and 32GB storage. That's solid foundation for a mid-ranger, but it's not going to...
IDC: Xiaomi ties Samsung as leading smartphone vendor in India
Smartphone shipments in India reached a record-high of 39 million units in Q3 2017, data by analyst company IDC reveals. The amount is 40% higher than the previous quarter and 21% more than Q3 2016. Xiaomi tied Samsung for the leading spot in the Top 5 manufacturer list, each company having 23.5%. The overall success of the market is mostly due to online festivals that happened in August and September. While last year Xiaomi shipped 32% of all online devices, this time the percentage rose to 37%. Its offline expansion is also getting a good response from customers. All top 5...

Gionee S11 officially teased: Four camera, Full view
It seems that Gionee has kicked off the marketing campaign for the S11 - the 18:9 phone it is yet to announce (be patient, it should be unveiled on November 26). The phone will launch with the tagline "Four camera, Full View" referring to its two headlining features.

Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro review
2017 for some, Pro for others - seemingly identical Galaxies come in a number of different, market-specific flavors this year, and we now have the Galaxy J7 Pro for review. An offshoot of the ever-growing J7 family, the Pro is meant for India, South East Asia and Brazil, each of these getting a (very slightly) further localized version.
iOS 11.2 unlocks faster wireless charging on iPhone X, 8 and 8 Plus
Apple is unlocking faster wireless charging on the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus with the iOS 11.2 firmware update. Up until iOS 11.1 the Qi-enabled iPhones could charge wirelessly by up to 5W and after 11.2 they can go as high as 7.5W - this was divulged by accessory maker RAVpower. The new, higher speed of the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X doesn't quite put them as high as the competition from Samsung (which can reach 15W through a supported charger) but it may turn out that in practice they'll charge equally fast. There are several officially supported Qi fast wireless...
No price hike for the OnePlus 5T, leak alleges
Sources from O2 suggested that the OnePlus 5T will cost the same as the phone it replaces. A second leak - this time coming out of India - confirms this as well. The 5T will be exclusive to Amazon in India so this image likely comes from there. It lists both versions of the phone - 6GB RAM, 64GB storage and 8GB RAM, 128GB storage - and their prices. The base OnePlus 5T will cost INR 33,000 while the one with more memory will be INR 38,000. That perfectly matches the outgoing model (which is almost entirely out of stock now). CEO Pete Lau said that fans will "appreciate what's...

Vive Focus, its first standalone VR headset, goes "world-scale"
If VR headsets are ever to bring a holodeck-like experience, we need to cut the cables. Vive just announced its first stand-alone, completely untethered headset - the Vive Focus. More importantly, this is the first hardware implementation of the new Vive Wave platform. Twelve hardware partners in China have already signed up and will build future products based on Wave. The Focus delivers "inside-out" 6 DoF tracking. Since it doesn't rely on cables or even the Vive Lighthouses, the company calls this "world-scale" (goodbye, "room-scale"). The headset comes with a single motion...
