Few days ago I wrote about how BlackBerry considers releasing KEYone Black Edition on the European market. Check this post out if you don’t know about Black Edition at all and want to check out the phone’s specs and whatnot. Or maybe do not bother, at least if you are from the US of A. According to an unknown source (so this is not 100% confirmed), BlackBerry will not release Black Edition in the land of freedom and justice and apple pie. Countries where Black Edition WILL be released are Germany, France, Canada, Japan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and United ...

Alleged Huawei Mate 10 Pro front panel leaks
– lack of front-placed fingerprint scanner. Looks like that feature will be put on the backside of the phone after all,– an unusual 17:9 aspect ratio,– blue and brown colour variants.That is all the news. What did you expect? It is just a photo of a front panel which does not even have to be legit. Want to know more? Wait for more info to leak – or until October 19th, when the Mate 10 Pro is set to be unveiled.

Is Google going to buy out HTC?
Things are not going well for HTC. In the last few years, company’s sales have dropped significantly. Not even a well-received HTC U11 helped – this August, HTC has noted lowest income in thirteen years. 300,1 billion taiwan dollars, which roughly translates into 100 million USD, is half of what the company has earned during July.Is HTC planning a comeback? Working on some new cool features that will make its phones sell well? Nah. Intead, HTC is finishing its buyout talks with Google. It is also possible that two firms will join in something that someone nicely called a ...
Vivo V7 Plus will be world’s first phone with a 24mpx camera
Usually I do not write about devices that are unavailable to buy in the West, but this time I decided to make an exception because this is one interesting smartphone. Vivo V7+ has just been unveiled at a media event in Mumbai, and it promises to be a pretty flagship-level device with a number of high-quality features. Here is the list of features and specs promised:– dual 24mpx front cameras with LED flash; 16mpx rear camera; Face Beauty 7.0, a blemish-removing feature for both images and video calls,– bezel-less design; 5.99′, 18:9 display with 720p resolution packed into ...
Oy wey, another Samsung burns
The story is mostly a simple one. Last July, a young lady from South Korea bought herself a Samsung Galaxy S7. Until now, the phone is said to have worked perfectly well, no problems. A week or so ago it happened so that she needed to charger her phone. After plugging it into the charger, it turned out that she needed to use it – maybe someone called her, or she needed to write an important SMS. She turned the phone on and that is when it erupted into flames. Thankfully, that did not start a large fire.That would be the end of the story if not for Samsung’s odd behaviour. After ...
Huawei Honor 6 Play announced
This one is a budget device from Huawei’s Honor line. Device’s specification fits its budget character, as does its price of ($91, although we do not know when will the phone be released outside of China). It does have an interesting feature, though, namely its customizable left-side button; that button can be assigned to any of the phone’s functions, especially since it can be pressed, double-pressed and pressed-and-hold. That allows it to, technically, be assigned three different functions. Cool.Specification: ...
Leaked render of Huawei Mate 10
@OnLeaks strikes again. 3D render of Huawei Mate 10 just leaked online, created from the joint effort of leakster’s info, CompareRaja’s graphics and 3d models of the phone sent to some of the phone accessories producers. Render itself is not very informative, honestly; it shows us that the device’s cover will probably be made out of glass and that it will be shorter and with a bit thinner bezels than its predecessor (Mate 10’s dimensions are said to be 150,2 x 77,5 x 8,4 mm, with a 5.9′ display).The above is nothing special. Huawei advertises Mate 10 as a ...

Huawei becomes world’s second largest smartphone company
According to the market research company Counterpoint Research, Huawei just overtook Apple and became second largest smartphone company worldwide. Ouchies, Apple… this was caused by particulary good sales of Huawei phones in June and July. Still, Apple may very well regain its 2nd best position soon, as iPhone 8 is set to release on September 12th.What do you think about that development? Good, bad? Just a momentary hiccup for Apple, or beginning of the new reign of Huawei? Let us ...
