Leaked picture of what might – mind the word – be Galaxy Note 8

Thanks, Slashleak, for another tasty morsel of a news. This news-hunting website has scared up a leaked picture that may or may not depict the upoming Galaxy Note 8 smartphone. The picture depicts a phone that appears a bit larger than the Galaxy S8, with an Infinity display, Bixby assistant, stylus menu and stylus pen. What little we know of Galaxy Note 8 suggests that the phone will have a 6.32 Infinity display and Bixby AI assistant. In other words, while some facts click, this may very well be a dressed up S8+ made to warm up the Note 8 hype. I guess that we will have to wait for more ...

Nokia 9 in the US – may cost $699, may be released around September

If the newest report is to be believed, Nokia withholds from releasing its Nokia 9 early because of a large number of competition from Samsung, LG and other companies. Another reason is probably the shortage of Snapdragon 835 CPUs. Instead, Nokia opts for the end of Q3 as Nokia 9’s release date. The release will be global, with different prices in different regions of the world (€749 in Europe, Rs 44,999 in India, $699 in the US).Good, bad, don’t care? For a smartphone that will launch in around half an year, still having a Snapdragon 835 CPU feels tad outdated, ...

Samsung Galaxy S8 has just had its first TV advertisement, and it’s pretty cool

We smartphone people have been on our toes for weeks now, checking out every piece of info on the Samsung’s hot new phone, and are now impatiently waiting for its release on April 21st – but what about the people who aren’t in the know? There are (I think) lots of people who would love to get their hands on an S8 or S8+, but simply are not aware of these phones. Samsung has thought of that, and aired very first Galaxy S8 TV commercial, and I personally love it.The premise is that of an old-design phone showing clips of people entertaining themselves with energetic ...

Moto E4 and E4 Plus have received their FCC certification. Wow, what the… 5k battery?

A phone designed as Motorola XT1773 has been listed among FCC certified devices, and people more in the know than I am believe that this is the upcoming Moto E4 device. We already know some of the phone’s specification, but the certificate has just brought us a pretty incredible piece of news – it looks like the Moto E4 Plus, bigger of the two phones, will have a 5000mAh battery. If true, this would make Moto E4 Plus the one with the largest batteries in the Moto family, and one of the largest batteries available all around.Specification of Moto E4:– 16GB RAM,– ...

Big news in big business: 2-year and $9 bilion contract for OLED iPhone display panels signed between Apple and Samsung

Unless various sources are wrong, two mobile giants, Apple and Samsung, have just sealed a large deal. Apple has contracted Samsung to ship 70 to 92 million screen panels in 2017, and presumably an even larger number next year. Increase in production will require Samsung to pay $9 bilion to expand its OLED panels production.Apple and Samsung are rivals, at least when it comes to smartphones (a large consumer of OLED panels). It is interesting to see these two working together, or at least one working for another. What do you think? Is it just business, or are there some ulterior motives in ...
