According to Etnews, a Korean news website, 1,155,000 krw, or around $1026, is how much Chinese Samsung lovers have to pay if they want to get themselves a shiny, new, 6GB RAM-packing Galaxy S8. China’s Galaxy S8 will also have increased memory space, 128GB instead of 64GB. Curiously, the only colour version available there (at least so far) is Midnight Black. Why? I dunno. Chinese pre-orders of the phone will come with the addition of Samsung DeX dock instead; Western pre-orders, as we know, are adding a free Gear VR instead.6GB of RAM on a smartphone is, well, debatable. Do you ...

Android tops Windows as the most popular OS for web surfing
Ladies and gentleman, it is now official – more people are using their smartphones than PCs for web browsing. I know that the title of the news is ”Android over Windows”, not ”smartphones over PCs”, but that means pretty much the same thing. Ever since mid-2015, the trend has risen in which more people were browsing the Internet on their mobile devices than on their computers. Since Android is the most popular operating system for smartphones and many other mobiles, it means that more and more often Android was the OS used to browse the net, not Windows. O ...
OnePlus charges people like batteries, or OnePlus Dash Charge energy drink
Thanks to OnePlus (as well as a few other companies) we can now charge our phones in a jiffy, thanks to the Quick Charge technology. It’s good to have a full battery in your smartphone, but it is just as important (some people will argue) to be fully charged yourself. OnePlus’ marketing specialists must have had the same idea and so OnePlus Dash Charge, an energy drink, came to life. Oh, but don’t worry, buying it won’t be as easy as just going to your nearest convenience store. Dash Charge will be sold in limited numbers and only in chosen stores around the world ...
Do you think that you may be addicted to your smartphone? This prosthetic phone will help you – or just make you look ridiculous
An initiative called Give Your Mobile The Boot has been started in Great Britain. The goal is to make car drivers realize, that using their smartphones while driving is dangerous and to encourage them to put their mobiles into the car’s trunk (or boot, though I’ve never heard car’s trunk being called that before. Hm) to avoid the temptation of picking it up while on the road. MORE TH>N, a direct financial services firm, has developed the prosthetic phone as a part of this campaign. What is it? Well… it is a smartphone-shaped box of plastic. According to research made ...
Alleged renders of HTC U/Ocean have leaked

No Power button is to be seen, as well as volume controls and fingerprint scanner. This means that these buttons may be embedded into the phone’s screen, which is a pretty fresh thing to do.Unless we will receive more information on the device in form of leaks, we will learn more by the end of the month, when it is supposed to be unveiled. Here is the device’s specification from an earlier ...

Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus do not natively support Google Daydream
Oh noes? New Samsung flagships are strong enough to be able to use Google Daydream VR, but they seemingly lack the neccessary software. The reason for this may be that Samsung has its own VR gear to sell, like Gear VR – still, Google fans will be left disappointed… or maybe not! If you want to use your Google Daydream with a Galaxy S8 or S8+, all you have to do is change one line of code. Courtesy of VRheads, you can read about how to do it right here. Tweet Vote on ...

Android Headlines have obtained a leaked info on the upcoming HTC Oean (also known as HTC U, so take your pick).

For example, if you are a lazy bum and cannot be arsed to press the touchscreen a few times to, say, start a camera, ...
Looks like Apple is working on its very own graphic chip
Long story short, Apple has cut ties with Imagination Technologies, a British chip designer that worked on the PowerVR graphics processors. Imagination Technologies’ has stated that it is so, because Apple is „working on a separate, independent graphics design in order to control its products and will be reducing its future reliance on Imagination’s technology”. Too bad for the Brits, since their work for Apple generated half of their income. For us, though, it is interesting news, as it might mean that Apple will be cooking up its very own CPU and GPU – or ...
