Samsung Galaxy Tab A2 appears in live photos

Earlier this week the Samsung Galaxy Tab A2 popped up on FCC, revealing some of its specs. Now some new live images arrived where the tablet is powered on and is running the Samsung Experience UI. The photos confirm the lack of a home key and the thin bezels on the sides. All three pictures are of the front side of the Galaxy Tab A2, so we can't know for sure if there is a fingerprint scanner on the back. Such a solution would be an ergonomic hell, so it is far more likely that there is none and the upcoming tablet will entirely skip the feature. The device is expected...

Oppo A3s debuts with 6.2" LCD and Snapdragon 450

Oppo just announced its latest budget smartphone in India, dubbed A3s. As it turns out it's not an entirely new device, but merely a re-branded Oppo A5.
