OnePlus 8, 8 Pro official cases pop-up in high-def pictures

This is definitely getting pretty ridiculous at this point, but we would be lying if we said that we didn't fully anticipate the continued onslaught of OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro leaks, prior to the April 14 unveiling event. Still, with pretty-much everything else mostly neatly cleared-up, there's no real reason not to look at the official case options in high resolution. Sandstone: Cyan • Smoky Purple • Black In case you were wondering (get it.), these don't actually come as a surprise, since we did get a glimpse of the selection a while back. That image, however,...

Flashback: the Nokia N95 was a high point for Symbian but also the beginning of the end

The Nokia N95 was peak Symbian - the phone came out in early 2007 and did everything. It was a feature rich phone that got even better when the Finns introduced the Nokia N95 8GB (aka N95-2) a few months later. Nokia N95 This was around the time that the original iPhone was introduced and while Apple stunned the world with the carefully thought out user interface built around a capacitive multi-touch screen, the smartphone capabilities were lacking at best. Remember that the Apple App Store wasn't introduced until the following year, Steve Jobs and company initially bet on...

Oppo details Ace 2 display tech in another official teaser video

The Oppo Ace 2 has been leaking for quite some time now. Long enough, in fact, for it to start forgetting parts of its own name, since the "Reno" bit is, officially out of the picture. Joking aside, Oppo appears to be revamping its lineup yet again and the Ace 2 will be playing an important ambassador role in said process, likely in just a couple of days, on April 13. In what is, we believe, now the third in a series of teaser videos, Oppo has been hyping-up the Ace 2. We aren't quite sure whether or not these clips are deliberately published or not, but it doesn't really matter...

It's not April 14 yet, hence, still a few days to go until the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro become officially, official. Up until that pint in time, the leak tidal wave continues.
