We have heard rumours about Samsung upgrading Galaxy S8’s OS to Oreo. Now, thanks to the phone’s appearance on Geekbench, we know it for certain. We do not know when and in which order (i.e. which countries will receive the update first and which next), but we know that it is coming. Cool. Tweet Vote on HN ...

Goophone X, iPhone X’s knockoff, is as cute as ratter mimicking a doberman
Haha… this phone… hehehe… this phone has it all. Outwards look similiar to iPhone X? Check. Outlandishly bad specifications? Check. OS from three years ago? Check. Lying straight to client’s face? Check. What is it about lying? Oh, just a small matter of phone’s specifications saying one thing while the render shows something different, like having single-lens 8mpx camera instead of dual setup depicted on the render or a middling 2mpx front camera making it rather hard for Face ID to actually work. What Goophone X has going for it are two things; ridiculously ...
Motorola confirms Android Oreo update for Moto X4, G5 and Z lines
It is always nice to get some confirmation from Motorola, seeing how fickle this company is with their phone’s updates. Sometimes an old budget device gets an update to the newest OS, sometimes a relatively new device does not – you never know with those guys. At least this time we do know something, and from the horse’s mouth no less. According to Motorola, these are the phones that most certainly will have their operating systems updated to Android 8.0 Oreo:– Moto G5,– Moto G5 Plus,– Moto G5S,– Moto G5S Plus,– Moto Z,– Moto Z ...
Verizon releases first OTA update for Galaxy Note 8
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 ...

We do not know that much about the phone itself, but here is what info could be scrounged from the TENAA certification it recently passed:– 5.9′ display, 1080p EntireView display, aspect ratio 18:9,– dual camera setup, 16mpx + 2mpx main camera, 13mpx + 2mpx selfie shooter,– 8-core CPU,– 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM,– 3240mAh ...
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 ...
