According to a Korean (yeah, South Korean) report, Samsung wants to drastically increase the production output of OLED panels. Seven different production lines are said to increase their output by 700%, going from making 15,000 panels per month to 105000. Such an increase would amount to roughly 130 million screens per year (I see a different number, but I was never good at math) – although it would probably be much lower due to random events and technical difficulties. How will this influence Apple turning to LG for its OLED panel supply, we do not ...

Evan Blass leaks newest Moto X4 pictures
Wow. Turns out Evan Blass CAN sometimes be wrong! Last month, @evleaks shared a leaked render of the Moto X4 device, back then still known as Moto X (2017). New render followed at the end of July. Now, on August 4th, Mr. Blass not only shares new picture of the device, but also admits that earlier leaks were either outdated or simply wrong. Astonishing. Of course everyone understands (I hope) that it is human to make mistakes and that Evan Blass is still our top leakster.Anyway, you can see the new pictures above. Catches aren’t of top quality, but just enough for us to read the ...

If you are interested in the device’s availability or specification, check out the article linked – I’ll only add that the phone can be pre-ordered now, but will not physically reach the US until August 11th.

First complete render of LG V30
Seeing how the wallpaper of the phone in question is not an official iPhone one, it can be reasoned that the source of the image is just as unofficial. Still, render shows enough similiarity to what we heard V30 will be like (round corners, slim bezel, roughly 6′ screen) that it may as well be an actual, legitimate render. Enjoy.

Director of ”Paranormal Activity” creates a social app. Scary?
Oren Peli, writer and director of the infamous ”Paranormal Activity”, works on an app that will allow its users to find, create and join events in their neighbourhood. Application is called Spot. Surprised? Do not be. Before venturing into the creepy movies industry, Mr. Peli worked as a computer software programmer (according to WikiPedia, he was one of the developers of Photon Paint, a graphic program for Amiga), so you can see him making an app less as a weird curio and more like the man going back to his roots.Well, that is all dandy, but by now you probably want to learn ...
Some of Galacksy Note 8’s specs leaked

DOOGEE BL7000 coming out soon – hilariously large battery
Device’s specs have not yet been revealed, but it is believed that it will share more or less of its specification with its predecessor (same Android 7.0 OS, same dual rear camera setting), BL5000, while improving on some. BL7000’s improvements are said to include a huge 7060mAh battery (compared to BL5000’s already very impressive 5050mAh – I think I see the pattern in their names) and a leather battery cover.Sadly, we do not know BL7000’s price nor date of release, though the latter is said to take place ”in ...
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are getting an Android 7.1 update
According to Vodafone Australia, the most recent Galaxy S8/S8+ update has just been submitted for review (by whom, Vodafone?). Review is the last stage such updates have to pass before being rolled out. If that is true, then Australia and, presumably, other countries worldwide will be getting their Galaxy S8/S8+ updates any day now. If aussies from Vodafone Australia are to be believed, update will cover mainly a number of, quote, stability and bug fixes. Tweet Vote on HN ...
