Colour me interested. According to a leaked video by Ynet, the iPhone-esque notch on G7 can be turned on and off in phone’s settings. Interesting. The reason LG implemented the notch in G7 is twofold: first, it’s hip, and second, the phone will eventually be updated to Android P operating system, which will supposedly make a great use of the notch.What do you think about turning the notch on and off? Personally I love the idea – power to the people, choose which you prefer ...

Huawei P9 and P9 Plus to receive Android 8.0 Oreo update soon
In a bit of an unexpected turn, Huawei’s P9 and P9 Plus smartphones have been said to soon have their operating systems updated to 8.0 Oreo. The turn is unexpected because both phones are now two years old and Huawei has so far been quiet on updating their OS’. Now, though, there is an (unofficial) word on one of Huawei’s officials saying that, indeed, P9 and P9 Plus will receive the abovementioned update in the near future. No exact date has been given, but people wiser than me believe that ”future” means ”sometime this year”. Good, I ...
Android P is here. Cool?
Android’s newest operating system is now available in Developer Preview, for now reserved for devs and those with special interest (and, presumably, leverage in the industry) in Android’s OS. That is nice, but should the ”common man” care about P?Not really, at least according to people wiser than I. Judging by what can be found online, Android P is mostly interesting for developers. That is because it allows app creators more freedom in optimizing their programs towards the OS, particulary the notch. Average user will only notice the smaller changes, like changed ...
New, hot Samsung Galaxy S9 series is out. Functions, specification, price and availability
Galaxy S9 series has quite a potential of stirring up the smartphone market. High quality, great specification and interesting (and sometimes plain stolen from other companies, ehm ehm notch ehm ehm) bells and whistles is an almost assured recipe for success. Still, chances are that you have not heard much about the Galaxy S9 series, or that you have followed the news but now want to see the complete package; not odds and ends of rumours but complete list of phone’s specs and functions (okay, some of the functions), along with its price and availability.Okay, enough of the ...
T-Mobile Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus gets some updates. Improved camera stability & face unlock
Galaxy S9 is coming out just now and it is already receiving its first update (or, dare I say, patch?). Firmware version G960/G965-USQU1ARBG weights 260 megabytes and does NOT include the March security update. What it does include are two fixes: one for the face unlock feature and another for camera stability. Tweet Vote on HN ...
Press render of Huawei Y7 (2018) released
Huawei Y7 (2018) is – or rather seems to be – the lesser brother of the mid-ranged Y9 (2018). Press render does not give us much information about the device: other than the picture itself, it tells us that the phone will sport a 13mpx rear camera. Judging by the picture, smartphone will also have an 18:9 aspect ratio, rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and a 3.5mm headphone jack (yaay).The device should be officially announced by Huawei soon. Tweet Vote on HN ...

Motorola Moto E4 on sale at T-Mobile
Smartphone can be bought outright for $175 or $7 down and $7 per month for 24 months. It supports 4G LTE bands, HD Voice and VoLTE. Phone’s specs are unimpressive, but they get the job done: 5′ display, Snapdragon 417 CPU, 2 gigabytes of RAM, 16 gigabytes of storage memory are a good-enough setup. Phone’s cameras are also mediocre, with 8mpx main one and 5mpx selfie shooter. Water-repelling coating will make sure that your phone will not get wet when you do not want it to. Too bad about the Android 7.1 Nougat OS, but we can count on it getting updated ...

Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus are out in the US!
Hurray. Samsung have promised that Galaxy S9 and S9+ will be delivered to the US customers on March 1th4. It seems that the South Korean company is keeping its word; yesterday, those who have pre-ordered their phones have received notifications that their units are being shipped now, which means that they should be receiving them today. This seems to be the case for both locked and unlocked versions of the phones. Those who have not preordered their phones will have to wait until March 18th – possibly longer, depending on demand. ...
