According to tech news website Engadget, a new BlackBerry smartphone will be released in October. The general idea behind this unnamed device is for it to be weather-proof. The IP-67 certificate is not, naturally, the only one of its supposedly important features:– a reportedly large battery, 26 hours of ”mixed use” life,– durability,– all-touch, no physical keyboard.It is possible, but in no way confirmed, that the phone in question is BlackBerry BBD100-1.

HTC U11 version with large amounts of memory launches
The difference between this and the regular U11 are, as the title suggests, memory capacity. Regular U11 comes with 64GB storage and 4GB RAM, an already respectable number; the upgraded U11 has 128GB ROM and 6GB RAM, making a considerably more powerful device. How does this upgrade change the phone’s price? Significantly but also not by as much as it could. The more memory-able U11 costs £699, which is fifty pounds more than the original costs.Whether or not this is a good deal is up to ...

Huawei P9 Lite Mini will launch in Europe
P9 Lite Mini is a mid-range version of the recently released Huawei P9 smartphone. While the phone was not officially revealed, perhaps because Huawei did not consider it big enough deal, leaked info states that at least one Hungarian retailer will start selling it sometime late August. Which probably means tomorrow, or the day after. Phone’s price will be an affordable €190. We have no information about P9 Lite Mini becoming available in other European countries, but it would be weird for it to be just a Hungarian release, so we will most probably see it available outside ...

First, we have been told that Moto X4 will be coming out on June 30th; then the release date was set to be August 24th; THEN a rumour leaked, stating that the phone will reach store shelves in 4th quarter of the year. Well, NOW we have a new launch date, and one that is pretty close, too. Philippine division of Motorola will organize an event on September 2nd. It does not really matter what the event will be about (we do knot that a famous Philippine actor couple, the so-called ”Jadine” will participate). What matters is ...
