Just days after it went on sale, the OnePlus 5T has started receiving its first update. Weighing in at 107MB and arriving as Oxygen OS 4.7.2, the update brings along fix for the Wi-Fi WPA2 security issue (a.k.a the KRACK vulnerability). Multiple other changes are also included, like optimizations related to fingerprint and face unlock and improvements related to EIS during 4K recording as well as accuracy for screen off gestures. Of course, some usual stability and bug fixes are there as well. Via

Google rolls out changes aimed at making Pixel battery life estimates more accurate
Google has announced that it has rolled out some new changes that are aimed at making battery life estimates more accurate on the company's Pixel phones. A Product Manager at Google explained that until now battery estimates were being made based on simple assumptions - for example, if you've been using 10% battery each hour over past few hours, the algorithms assumed that'll remain the case, and whatever estimates you saw were based on that. Google Pixel 2 XL That changes now, with the introduction of a new on-device model, which the company says evaluates how you use your...
International Galaxy S8 and S8+ models are finally receiving the November security update
The internationally sold versions of Samsung's Galaxy S8 and S8+ are now finally in the process of receiving the November security update. As usual, this includes patches from Google, as well as Samsung-specific fixes. You get 61 general Android vulnerabilities fixed, alongside six exploits found only in Samsung's software. Additionally, the widespread KRACK Wi-Fi vulnerability is patched too. The Korean company also threw in some Bluetooth-related bug fixes, which means the protocol should be more stable. The updates are now rolling out to devices purchased unlocked in the...
Unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note8 is now available from the Microsoft Store too
Microsoft likes to sell Samsung's high-end smartphones in its online store for some reason. Not long ago we saw the Galaxy S8 and S8+ becoming available to purchase from the Microsoft Store, and today the Galaxy Note8 has joined them. Unlike the S-series devices, which can also be bought for use with carrier plans, the Note8 is only being offered in unlocked form. Oh, and it's not cheap at all. Each unit will set you back $929.99. On the other hand, if you don't mind going the carrier route and using monthly installments to pay for the Galaxy Note8, there are much better offers to be...
Mate 10 Pro breaks pre-order records in Western Europe, says Huawei
Huawei's journey West marks a record-breaking success - the Huawei Mate 10 Pro surpassed the pre-order target by over 100%.

Huawei is yet to announce US availability, though it can't be far...
OnePlus takes a stance against Black Friday, discounts 5T by a penny
In times when smartphone companies lower their flagship prices for Black Friday, OnePlus decides to go against the trend and discounts its latest OnePlus 5T by only a penny. OnePlus said that it aims to deliver its products at fair price all-year round so it just can't offer any huge discounts for the occasion. This obviously implies that the competition tends to overcharge you when its phones are not on sale. The OnePlus 5T initially launched on November 16 and costs €499 for the 64 GB version and €559 for the 128 GB variant. Or, you know, €498.99 and €558.99 on Black...

Wileyfox Pro quietly unveiled with Windows Phone
Have you seen 28 Days Later? In the opening scene the main character wakes up to find the city abandoned with no living soul in sight.

Deal: LG G6 for £363 on Amazon
The V30 may be the hottest LG phone these adys, but the LG G6, introduced in February, is still a pretty solid device. And now you can own one for as low as £363.20 on Amazon. This is a 42% discount from the original asking price for a 32 GB unit in either Astro Black or Platinum Ice color. Sure, it's the smaller memory option, but LG G6 has a microSD that can take up to 256 GB storage. With a great camera and one of the first 18:9 ratio screens, the LG G6 sure sounds like a steal if you can overlook the fact that it's rocking a Snapdragon 821 chipset, which was last year's top...
OnePlus 5T wins charging sprint in latest ad
One of the best features on the OnePlus 5T is Dash Charge - it makes other other phones feel painfully slow to charge. The company decided to highlight that in its new add - how much will the phone charge in 30 minutes with the screen on? The 5T phone got from 2% to 57% in that half hour. Which is pretty much in line with our own tests, we got to 65% in the same time, but with the screen off. How did certain competing flagships stack up? Not that great. Check out the video, it only takes a minute: There's no comparison, really! Watch the #OnePlus5T whip other flagships in a...
Mysterious Sony Xperia ZG Compact appears again on Geekbench
Back in August, several Sony Xperia ZG Compact listings appeared in the Geekbench database. Now, the phone makes another appearance with slightly different scores. Both scores are a bit lower than the results in August, and a lot lower than the Xperia Z5 Compact results with Snapdragon 810 from 2015. It is highly unlikely Sony is building a phone with such an old chipset, especially when the Xperia XZ1 Compact came out in August with Snapdragon 835. There are two possible explanations for this. For one, the device name may have been falsified and all of this is just someone...
