It did not work out with smartphones, so now FB is trying out a different device avenue. Word on the e-street is that FB is working on a video chat device nowadays. The thing is said to be the size of a laptop; its features include touchscreen and ”smart camera”. Everything else that we know is that it is in prototype phase and that it will not come out sooner than in 2018. Tweet Vote on HN ...

Galaxy Note 9 may have in-display fingerprint scanner
According to an already unavailable report from KGI, Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will come out with a fingerprint sensor built into the phone’s display. Samsung’s decision is said to have been influenced by Apple moving away from the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner in its upcoming iPhone 8 – in other words, Samsung wants to keep up with the gimmicks. Report also states that Note 9’s fingerprint scanner will use Egis sensors, which is significantly costlier than Synaptics, sensors that the company used before.These are extremely early rumours – after all, Galaxy Note ...
Samsung ramps up the OLED panels production
According to a Korean (yeah, South Korean) report, Samsung wants to drastically increase the production output of OLED panels. Seven different production lines are said to increase their output by 700%, going from making 15,000 panels per month to 105000. Such an increase would amount to roughly 130 million screens per year (I see a different number, but I was never good at math) – although it would probably be much lower due to random events and technical difficulties. How will this influence Apple turning to LG for its OLED panel supply, we do not ...

Evan Blass leaks newest Moto X4 pictures
Wow. Turns out Evan Blass CAN sometimes be wrong! Last month, @evleaks shared a leaked render of the Moto X4 device, back then still known as Moto X (2017). New render followed at the end of July. Now, on August 4th, Mr. Blass not only shares new picture of the device, but also admits that earlier leaks were either outdated or simply wrong. Astonishing. Of course everyone understands (I hope) that it is human to make mistakes and that Evan Blass is still our top leakster.Anyway, you can see the new pictures above. Catches aren’t of top quality, but just enough for us to read the ...
Moto E4 Plus out for pre-orders in the US
Two days ago I had a pleasure of writing about an impending Moto E4 Plus release in the United States. Well, it is August 4th now and Moto E4 Plus is indeed out in land of starts’n’stripes. If you are interested in the device’s availability or specification, check out the article linked – I’ll only add that the phone can be pre-ordered now, but will not physically reach the US until August 11th. Kudos. Tweet Vote on HN ...
First complete render of LG V30
Seeing how the wallpaper of the phone in question is not an official iPhone one, it can be reasoned that the source of the image is just as unofficial. Still, render shows enough similiarity to what we heard V30 will be like (round corners, slim bezel, roughly 6′ screen) that it may as well be an actual, legitimate render. Enjoy.

Director of ”Paranormal Activity” creates a social app. Scary?
Oren Peli, writer and director of the infamous ”Paranormal Activity”, works on an app that will allow its users to find, create and join events in their neighbourhood. Application is called Spot. Surprised? Do not be. Before venturing into the creepy movies industry, Mr. Peli worked as a computer software programmer (according to WikiPedia, he was one of the developers of Photon Paint, a graphic program for Amiga), so you can see him making an app less as a weird curio and more like the man going back to his roots.Well, that is all dandy, but by now you probably want to learn ...
