HTC’s concept phone will is controlled by squeezing

HTC U, previously known as HTC Ocean, is an uncoming flagship promoted as having an unusual control method. The usual buttons (as few as modern phones have) are supposed to be replaced with a touch-sensitive frame, and turning the volume up and down is being done by, quote, ”contextual squeezing and sliding of the handset’s sides”. Last year, HTC has released a small trailer for the device, which you can check out here. As for specification, we have heard that the device will be packing a Snapdragon 835 CPU, 5.5′ display, HTC Sense 9 UI, microSD slot (well, duh), ...

Cagabi One, a twopenny smartphone

If you need a new smartphone, but your wallet’s emptier than my love life, perhaps you should become interested in this one.

Lenovo Moto X 2017 leaked. Seems to be a mid-ranger.

One Jerry Lin has just updated his Google+ profile with pictures of a Lenovo Moto X 2017’s test copy. This is a pretty great find, seeing how we knew next to nothing about the device so far. We still do not know much, but one of the pictures does inform us about the phone having 3 gigabytes of RAM, 32GB of internal memory and a Snapdragon 626 CPU. These few specs tell us that this new Lenovo will be a mid-ranger – nothing too fancy, or fancy at all, but well enough to get the job ...

LG G6 will probably launch today in Canada

Surprised? You should be. LG has announced April 7 as the release date for the LG G6, but Bell, phone’s carrier, has secured early inventory of the devices and is ready to begin selling them. That is pretty cool, especially that if you buy yourself a Canadian LG G6 before April 3, you will get a free LG Sound Bar (basically a fancy loudspeaker) with Wireless Subwoofer. The phone isn’t cheap, though – it will cost around $745. Tweet Vote on HN ...

Live picture comparison of the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus

Can’t wait until tomorrow? Gotta get a fresh, new peek of Samsung’s Galaxy S8 phones before its official release? We’ve got you covered. Good poeple of /Leaks have delivered a nifty little picture of both Galaxy S8 and S8+ (guess which one is which, you have three attempts). The difference in size seems small on paper, with S8 being 5.8′ and S8+ being 6.2′, but when compared, oh boy, the + model is huge. Both phones are pretty thin, though, thanks to the 18:9 aspect ratio they both have. ...

Burn, baby, burn!, or how Samsung store caught fire right before the Galaxy S8 announcement

This is either some really bad luck or someone is causing these accidents on purpose. First, there was the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco. Some time after it, one of Samsung’s factories went up in flames. Now, a Samsung store in Singapore caught fire, and only a day before the official Galaxy S8 release. The fire caused the store, as well as neighboring stores, to be closed (duh). Samsung issued a classical statement, saying that yes, there was a fire, it was extinguished and Samsung is working with the authorities to determine its cause.Damn, Samsung. Get your sh… stuff together and stop ...

Refurbished Galaxy Note 7s will be released on the market, except India and U.S

Yesterday, Samsung announced that it will continue selling the discontinued Galaxy Note 7 smartphone line. Sold devices will have new batteries, replacing the faulty ones that were responsible for a large number of accidents. Suprising announcement may be caused by the actions that Greenpeace took against the company, interrupting its MWC 2017 exhibition and asking about what will the Korean giant do with millions of returned Note 7 devices. It is currently unknown whether or not will Samsung actually make good on its word or is it just a smoke screen created to avoid Greenpeace barging in ...

Huawei will be working on a bezel-less phone

Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei, has stated that his company has plans of creating first in the world, 100% bezel-free smartphone (a phone which whole front side is covered by the display). Mr. Chengdong has not shared any more information on this most ambitious project. Xiaomi Mi Mix is, so far, closest to reaching this goal, and even its’ screen was covering ”only” 85% of the front panel. Would you want to see a completely bezel-free smartphone, or do you consider it a pointless endevour that isn’t really ...
