Which is hilarious, because Galaxy Note 8 only just comes out today. But hey, this is 21st century, I should be used to day one updates by now. Anyhoo, the update’s kernel version is 4.4.21. It will turn Verizon’s Galaxy Note 8 software version to N950USQU1AQI5.What is the update’s changelog? Oh, the usual. It fixes some bugs and improves phone’s performance and stability. It also improves the stability of Google Maps and Navigation apps and Weather widget. The update does not, uhm, update phone’s security featues to September, so you will have to wait for that ...

LG Q6 available in Canada by the end of September
LG Q6 is already available in India, but it seems that the phone will hit Western markets as well. It will be distributed in Canada via Bell, which will sell Platinum colour variant of the phone for $450. Quite a large sum if one knows that the device went on sale in India for roughly $235. Oh well. Still, Q6 is a pretty good mid-ranger with an alright price, available in three variants; simple Q6, stronger Q6 Plus and weaker Q6 Alpha:– 5.5-inch fullHD FullVision display, 2160 x 1080p resolution,– Snapdragon 435 CPU, 8-core, 64-bit,– Adreno 505 GPU,– 2GB/3GB/4GB RAM, ...
INKS, Apple’s free App of the Week
As most of Apple users probably know, each week Apple chooses one ”App of the Week”, highlighting the application of their choice and making it free to download for seven days. This time the honour of being the App of the Week belongs to INKS, normally a $2.99 mobile game that is an interesting take on the classic pinball… I guess you could call this one ”paintball”, though perhaps ”inkball” would be more truthful.So, what is INKS about? Basically it is pinball, but with some puzzle-solving and very aesthetically pleasing style. Seriously, just look ...

iPhone 8 & iPhone 8 Plus. Specification and date of release
iPhone X is definitely the king when it comes to three Apple phones presented to us two days ago, but 8 and 8 Plus are also very noteworthy – especially since they have a (slightly) more forgivable price and much faster release date on their side. Here is what we know about the iPhones 8 and 8 Plus:– 4.7 and 5.5′ screens, 1334 x 750 and 1920 x 1080 resolution. IPS LCD panels, 3D Touch tech,– shatter resistant glass panels on back and front, metal casing,– 6-core A11 Bionic chip, 2 and 3GB RAM. All six cores work simultaneously, which increases phone’s ...
Huawei Mate 10 just received TENAA certification
Mate 10 is an oft guest on sim-unlock. Last time I wrote about it was to inform you about a bunch of leaked renders of the phone. Today I am letting you know that the device has just passed TENAA, a Chinese equivalent of FCC, where it received its certification. While much about the phone’s specification is already know, leaked TENAA documentation allows us to learn/make sure about more, namely:– 5.9′ display with 2:1 aspect ratio and 1080 x 2160 resolution,– dimensions: 156.2 x 75.2 x 7.5 mm,– weight: 164 g,– 3240mAh battery,– Blue and Gold colour ...
BlackBerry Krypton receives FCC certification
BB Krypton has already received Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and now FCC certifications, which means that the device probably is good to go. Here is what we know about the phone:– 4000mAh battery, which is considerable,– 1080 x 1920 screen resolution,– Snapdragon 625 CPU,– 4GB RAM,– possibly an IP 67 water-and-dust-proof certificate.I do not understand why but, according to an older Wi-Fi Alliance certification, there will be four different models of the phone: BBD100-1. BBD100-2, -3 and -6. What does this mean is anyone’s guess, since I doubt we will be seeing four ...
HTC’s U11 Life (Ocean Life) will be one of the first Android One phones
We have already heard about Motorola planning on introducing an Android One smartphone, an altered Moto X4. It now looks like HTC has similiar plans. Android One HTC U11 Life will be almost the same as the still unreleased U11 Life phone, only with Android stock installed.

iPhone X and everything we know about it. Which is almost everything
Finally, Apple’s anniversary iPhone X has been revealed. iPhones 8 and 8 Plus are all well and good, but this model is where Apple really shines. Whether or not X is worth its extremely high price is up to you, but it is certainly the blingest of the bling phones to hit the market.Lets start with release date. iPhone X is said to come out a bit later than expected. Pre-orders will be taken starting October 27th, and first units of the phone will hit store shelves a week later, on November 3rd. Pretty late, compared to the September 22nd, when iPhones 8 and 8 Plus come. The reason for ...
iPhone X will probably NOT be released with an official wireless charging station alongside it
It has been rumoured that iPhones 8 and X will launch along with wireless chargers, but now it seems that this might not be the case. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI believes that, while two new iPhones most probably will support wireless charging, no official charging docks will be ready for their release. Mr. Ming-Chi Kuo believes that Apple will not hurry to release those chargers, too, instead letting the third-party manufacturers supply the market. This idea is further enforced by lack of any rumours regarding Apple’s new wireless charging ...
