T-Mobile's LG V40 ThinQ is latest in line to get Android 9 Pie

LG may have been very slow to start the rollout of the Android 9 Pie update to its V40 ThinQ, but once it finally got the ball rolling there's been a lot of momentum for this release. We've already seen the update hitting units sold by AT&T, Verizon, and US Cellular, as well as unlocked ones in the US and Europe. Now it's T-Mobile's turn to join the fun. V40 units sold by the magenta carrier are starting to receive the coveted update notification. It's a 1.7GB download, so make sure you grab it where you have enough bandwidth so you don't have to wait a lot for it to be...

Here's the Google Pixel 4 in a transparent case

Google did a pretty unprecedented thing recently, by leaking the Pixel 4's rear design on its own, following a bunch of other leaks about the handset. Since Google's deed, the leaks haven't slowed down - on the contrary, they seem to have intensified. We've seen the Pixel 4 in the three alleged colors it's going to arrive in, we heard about its dimensions, and there was even a live photo of someone holding a prototype unit somewhere in the wild. Today we've been tipped about the image below, which seems to show the Pixel 4 inside a transparent case. There really isn't anything new...

Samsung Galaxy A90 might be part of a new Galaxy R series, have 45W fast charging

The story of Samsung's Galaxy A90 is weird. For a couple of months earlier this year it looked like the phone that ended up being launched as the Galaxy A80 would be released under the A90 moniker. After the A80 became official, new rumors started talking about an A90 again, except this time it's obviously a different device. That brings us to this point, when we're hearing from one of the most prolific leaksters out there that the Galaxy A90 may not end up being called that after all - instead, for the second time Samsung will forgo that name (this makes us wonder if it's cursed or...

LG W10 to launch in India on June 26, leaked invite reveals

LG's W10 was outed yesterday by the Android Enterprise listing. This comes after Amazon India started teasing the upcoming LG W series earlier this month. The W10 is the first handset in that family to see the light of day, and its official launch in India will happen on June 26. That is, if we go by this image which is purported to be a leaked invite for the grand event. The W10 will be affordable but still packing interesting specs, like a triple rear camera system (of which one is an ultra-wide shooter), a 4,000 mAh battery, Android 9 Pie out of the box, and a customizable...

Asus Zenfone 6 video teardown peeks at the flip camera from the inside

Motorola Moto E6 appears in a new render with textured back

An image of the Motorola Moto E6 leaked earlier last month revealing the phone's design. Now, another, official-looking, press render of this smartphone has surfaced revealing its textured back. This image comes to us through reliable leakster Evan Blass, and it corroborates the previous leak which showed the Moto E6 with a tall screen, thick bezels, and a single rear camera placed in the upper-left corner. The back of the Moto E6 also has the Motorola logo, but it's unclear if it has the fingerprint reader embedded in it. The Moto E5 from last year did have one, so we don't see...

Oppo Find Y trademarked

We didn't really think Oppo is doing a Find X sequel, but according to a leaked document for a trademark, the company is keeping its options open. The trademark is for the Find Y name, which seems like an obvious successor to the Find X. Also, judging by the Find X's experimental nature, we have a feeling that the Find Y will introduce a crazy new design or breakthrough tech. The trademark aligns perfectly with the company's announcement of a true under-display camera on June 26. So there's a good chance that the Find Y will feature an under-display camera and perhaps kickstart a...
