The list of LG smartphones for which bootloader unlocking is officially supported has been updated once again. This time, it's the LG V30 that's been added to the list - specifically, the H930 model that's on sale in some parts of Europe and the H930G Italy-only variant. If you aren't already aware, the bootloader unlocking process allows you to do things like running a custom ROM on your unit. But keep in mind that it voids your device's warranty as well. For detailed information on how to unlock the bootloader of your LG device, head to the Source link below. Source

Face ID cracked with an elaborate mask
Face ID is certainly a unique feature for a phone because of the technology behind how it works. Based on the technology that Apple uses behind Face ID, Vietnamese cyber security research firm Bkav was able to crack Face ID for a second time using a more elaborate mask and about $150 in materials. The researchers were able to fool Face ID with a 3D printed mask of the expert's face made of stone powder. Infrared images of the person's eyes were printed on paper and glued onto the facial model to trick the iPhone X's infrared camera into thinking real eyes were looking at it. Pretty...
New iOS 11 auto-correction issue uncovered, prevents users from typing 'it' and 'is'
Just a few weeks after Apple fixed a weired issue in its iOS 11 operating system that resulted in 'i' being replaced by 'A[?]' while typing text, another auto-correction issue has been uncovered. This time users complain that they aren't able to successfully type common words like 'it' and 'is', as iOS auto-correction forces them to be replaced by 'I.T' and 'I.S', respectively. Why has Apple been auto correcting "it" to I.T ??? Like it is a common word used in most sentences I look like a moron texting people now http://pic.twitter.com/4lW8QAU9ea— Sean James (@Sean_w_924) November 1,...
YouTube Go no longer in beta, available in India and Indonesia
YouTube Go is Google's way of ensuring that even those who can't access a mobile data connection as freely as others in more developed parts of the world can watch YouTube more freely.

YouTube Go is a lightweight version of the YouTube App whose Beta launched back in April of this year for India. The app is no longer in Beta and has a stable and public release on the Play Store in India and...
Apple's latest ads tout Animoji and Face ID
Apple has released several new ads on YouTube today, a couple of which tout the iPhone X's AR capabilities required for two of its most desired features. Let's start with Face ID. These ads were quickly-cut trailers of Face ID, without actually showing the process of unlocking or using Apple Pay with Face ID, intercut with visually appealing super-close-up shots of the iPhone X. However, there's another version of the Face ID ad that pokes at Samsung and other Android implementations of Face unlock. This one is called "Opens in the dark". It shows that Face ID works in lowly-lit...

Snapchat rolls out context-specific filters
Snap, the company behind Snapchat, has rolled out a new feature in the app that automatically suggests filters to users based on context. The app can now analyze the image that has been captured and then suggest relevant filters to the user. To give this a try, we opened up some images in Google and tested them on the app. The app was able to correctly recognize the picture of the dog, the burger, the beach and the sky and suggest appropriate filters for them. In case of the sky, Snapchat does this interesting thing, that has been around for some time now, where it adds...
HTC U11+ review
HTC U11+ could have been the next big Pixel, but it just wasn't meant to be. Instead, it became the next squeezable HTC flagship fully equipped to compete with Google's XL sequel. Underdog or not, the HTC U11+ has the dog tags of a fighter.
Last Android 8.1 Developer Preview is out, activates Pixel 2's Visual Core chip for HDR+ snaps using third party apps
Google has announced the availability of the second and last Developer Preview of Android 8.1. The first DP (and beta) went out last month, and the finalized version of this release should be rolling out in December.

Razer Phone gets scratch, burn, and bend tested
The Razer Phone became official at the beginning of this month, and went on sale shortly after that. Thus you can already buy one, but should you?

For that sort of thing we always turn to YouTube channel JerryRigEverything, and once again it has delivered. In the video embedded below you can see the Razer Phone being torture tested in the now standard way. The bottom line is that this handset does much better than the Nextbit...

Essential PH-1 now just $400 with the 360 Camera included
Back when the Essential Phone dropped $200 down to $500 then to $450, some people speculated that this signals the end of the company. What will they say now that the phone is $400? Never mind that.

In many ways, the new Razer Phone is a dream come true for many Android fans who covet the absolute best in terms of hardware, with an enviable spec sheet that should make the industry stalwarts sit up and take notice. But one area where the spec sheet felt lacking was the headphone jack. After all, this phone is being marketed to enthusiasts and as such you would expect a headphone jack on it. Razer's CEO, Min-Liang Tan, has taken to Facebook to clarify the reasons for not having a headphone jack on their new phone. Tan mentions that by not having the jack take up space inside, they...
