Apple's square camera setup for iPhone 11 lineup seemingly confirmed

Last month was the first time we saw what the upcoming iPhone's rear camera could possibly look like. It was a square camera setup with triple cameras arranged in a seemingly random arrangement. Case and accessory manufacturer Olixar already has glass protectors for the iPhone 11's rear camera, and they come in three versions, one for each of the three variants we are expecting from Apple this year. In addition, the same accessory maker also has an iPhone 11 Max screen protector also up for pre-order from Mobile Fun UK. The UK retailer made a video about the camera protectors where...

Google Pixel 4 live photo surfaces

Google's official Pixel 4 design reveal was somewhat surprising, but now we're back in familiar territory with Pixel leaks. Similar to last year's Pixel 3 XL train leak, the upcoming Google flagship was spotted in the flesh by an anonymous tipster out in London. The phone appears to be in a fabric case which Google has been offering for its devices since the Pixel 2 came to be. While the new image falls in line with what we've seen so far with the square camera cutout for the dual cameras, it doesn't provide much additional information. According to the folks over at 9to5Google...

Huawei considers using Sailfish OS instead of its own OS

As a result of its US trade ban, Huawei got its Android revoked and thus it won't be able to use Google Play Services (the Google Play Store included) on phones that haven't been already certified. This means that the company needs to look elsewhere for its software. Initial rumors pointed at Huawei's in-house Ark OS and it's supposed to go out sometime in October but sources familiar with the matter state that the Chinese tech giant is considering another alternative as well - Sailfish OS. Well, not exactly pure Sailfish but instead a fork called Aurora OS, which is still...

After releasing its latest Fit wearables across Europe and Asia, the Galaxy Fit and Fit e are making their way to the US and Canada.

Just last week a Samsung official hinted at a possible July launch of the Galaxy Fold but today we are getting more bad news. The statement comes from the company itself and denies July release. It was suggested that Samsung will be holding a media briefing very soon and during the event will announce a release date for the handset. The firm's spokesperson, however, said that if there was a media briefing planned for the following weeks, we would have heard something about it.

Huawei will unveil the nova 5 and nova 5i next Friday - June 21. However, it looks we might get a third smartphone alongside them - nova 5 Pro - as its renders have surfaced online revealing its design.
