Nude, app that tries to hide nude pics on your phone and fails to
Who was it made by? Japanese, naturally. What does it do? Long story short, it uses a special algorythm to find any nude photographs you may have saved on your phone and then quickly delete them from both your device’s memory and iCloud. Better safe than sorry! Reportedly, the app is not working very well. Article on Gizmodo described how the author installed the app and set it on a wild goose chase. His phone had no nudes, but the app decided to delete a large number of his pictures anyway. Among the pictures deleted could be found:– woman in a dress sitting on a chair,– ...
BlackBerry Motion advert video. Long battery life, water resistance and more
It is nice to sometimes see a no-nonsense, informative advertisement. I would much rather see render of the phone from every angle and have its features listed out to me than watch some Koreans jump around merrily and take camera snaps of themselves (cough, Samsung, cough). Hence why I approve of this advert of BlackBerry Motion. In case you cannot watch the video right now, I will list the phone’s revealed specifications:– aluminium frame, scratch-resistant display,– Privacy Shade and Locker Mode security suite,– IP67 water and dust certificate,– Android 7.0 ...

Take a look at its specifications and decide yourself:– 6′ OLED FullVision display, 1440 x 2880 p resolution, Gorilla Glass 5,– Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 CPU,– Adreno 540 GPU,– 4GB RAM, 64 or 128 GB ROM, microSD up to 2TB,– dual 16mpx + 13mpx rear camera, f/1.6 + f/1.9,– Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, NFC, WiFi, LTE modem,– USB-C, minijack,– 3300mAh battery,– fingerprint scanner,– ...
Is this HTC U11 Plus? New renders
OnLeaks strikes again, this time with video depicting what may or may not be – but probably is – HTC U11 Plus. As a bonus, he also brought us some of the device’s specifications. Of course all this info can turn out to be false but, first of all, OnLeaks is known for delivering good information and second, U11 Plus will be officially revealed so soon – on November 2nd – that there is almost no room for anything about the phone to change. So, here you can watch the video depicting the device, and below is what is expected to be its specification:– 6′ ...
iOS 11.0.3 or updates that do more harm than good
Consecutive iOS 11 patches were supposed to fix multiple issues with that operating system, the most crucial one being high power consumption – iOS 11 ate through the battery like I eat through primavera with double cheese. Unfortunately, the updates not only did not fix this but they made things worse by adding new glitches. iPhone 8 owners complain about, among other things, a huge lag in phone’s menus or applications. Things are even worse on iPhones 7 and SE; these devices now have to be charged twice every day. Twice. Every. Day.Apple has yet to release an official ...
Samsung released Galaxy S7’s October security patch
The update is rolling out as we speak. If it has not reached your device yet, either S7 or S7 edge, it soon will. It weights 122 megabytes, so make sure that your phone is charged before downloading. Successor to the August patch, the newest one does not change anything major, instead just fixing a number of lesser issues.If the update will not download automatically on your device, you can do it manually by going to Settings > Software update.

Shipments of iPhone X will be few and far between – less than 50k units are ready
It is no news that Apple has supply problems. What is news is that those supply problems are getting even worse: Foxconn, Apple’s manufacturing partner, has only delivered 46.500 units of iPhone X so far. When compared to predicted number of pre-orders, that is said to reach roughly 40 to 50 million, that amount seems, and indeed is, paltry as f**k. The main issue with production seems to be not OLED panels but the 3D TrueDepth face scanner camera. Those gizmos are reportedly difficult to manufacture, with Foxconn being able to dish out ”only” a few tens of thousands per ...
New concept graphic of Nokia 9
Last week I had the pleasure of writing to you about the recently produced renders of the upcoming Nokia 9 flagship. Render, made by one Steve Hemmerstoffera, was created based on the factory CAD blueprints. Pretty good source, but today it looks like someone thought to one up that attempt. Creators of the Concept Creator application have just published a concept graphic of Nokia 9 that they have created. They believe that their version, naturally, is much closer to how Nine will actually look like. Whether or not this is true is yet to be seen.We have yet to learn the official ...
Axom M officially announced by ZTE
We have had leaks and rumours about Axom M for quite some time now; today , though, is the day when the phone becomes officially revealed. If I were to sum up what we are being told about the phone, I would say that its dual display certainly makes it stand out from the crowd, but other than that gimmick there is nothing special about it. It has an okay camera but no rear one; the battery is too small for dual display; the CPU is tad too old etc etc.Specification:– dimensions: 150,8 x 71,6 x 12,1 mm,– weight: 230 gram,– foldable dual display, 5.2′, TFT LCD, FHD, ...
