LG Q9 hands-on image leaks

We first heard about LG's upcoming Q9 smartphone a few hours ago, when a purported list of its most important specs got outed. And now a hands-on image is out, allegedly showing the device in all its glory. The LG Q9 has an 18:9 display with no notch and rounded corners. There's a pretty significant chin and none of the bezels are really very slim for today's standards. Then again, depending on its price at launch, that may be tolerable. LG Q9 The source of the image speculates that we may be looking at an FHD+ panel, while the phone should arrive in India for a price of around...

Samsung's Bixby to support third-party apps by the end of this year

A good portion of Samsung users disable Bixby the second they turn on their device and for obvious reasons - the virtual assistant doesn't offer enough to justify the nuisance that is the accidental trigger when you hit the key by mistake. But since Samsung's mobile division's CEO, DJ Koh, promised to open Bixby for third-party app developers, Bixby fans numbers might rapidly go up. Bixby is a useful voice assistant as long as you are using it for adjusting system settings like screen brightness, volume and calendar entries, but rather limited otherwise. Its reach might expand rapidly...

The tablet-sized Honor 8X Max will be unveiled tomorrow and with its 7.12" screen and Honor president Zhao Ming built up the hype by sharing some samples from the dual camera on Weibo.

Apple Watch patent points to incoming always-on display

Ever since Apple released its first smartwatch, we have been begging for an always-on display feature so we can see the time without turning on the screen. Everyone was wondering why the company won't bring that feature since the watch has an OLED screen that supports it. Well, the latest patent from the Cupertino-based firm gives us some hope. According to a new patent that Apple has filed, engineers were reluctant to include the always-on display functionality because of OLED burn-in issues and battery drain. The second one can be easily solved by switching to a dimmer grayscale mode...

Xiaomi will announce a high-end smartphone with a €250 price tag

Xiaomi will hold an event in mid-September to unveil a new high-end smartphone. What's special about it is the price, CNY 2,000 ($292/€253). That's how much the original Xiaomi phone cost. Also, it's about the same as the Pocophone, which (strangely) isn't available in China. So instead of a new "flagship killer" this event may be about the Poco coming home. And we're sure it's not about the Mi Mix 3 as that should cost more than the Mi 8 (CNY 2,700). Actually, the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE is CNY 1,800, which is pretty close. Via
