How to safely buy an used phone

Smartphones are not cheap. Depending on the model you desire, you might have to spend hundreds of dollars (even thousands, if you are particulary picky). With such high prices, it is no wonder that sometimes we find ourselves searching for a more cost-efficient way of obtaining one. One of them (pretty much the only one if you do not want to mug people) is to buy an used mobile device – you’ll always save a couple (dozen/tens/hundred) bucks, right? Of course, but remember that homo homini lupus est, so there is a chance you will get, wittingly or not, ripped off when you buy ...

Samsung Galaxy Xcover 4, specification

Xcover is a serie of Samsung Galaxy phones built to last – you know, the tough, cheap, element-resistant phones that all of us should be using instead of the namby-pamby slick iPhones, Notes and other girly mobile devices that you cannot hammer a nail with. Series was somewhat staled, with Xcover 3 released two years ago, but no more. Or, rather, just a little more, since we do not know Xcover 4’s date of release, but it is believed to be soon.Specification:– Exynos 7570 chipset,– Mali-T720 GPU,– 2GB of RAM,– IP67 certificate (pretty much ...

New features coming to Pokemon Go – PvP and pokemon trade

(Am I the only one who thinks that ”pokemon trade” sounds kind of like ”slave trade”?) John Hanke, chief of Niantic, creators of the game, stated in an interview that Pokemon Go will receive a large update that will add two new features to the game, namely Player vs. Player combat and pokemon trade. Hnanke stated that Niantic wanted to implement those options into the game on the get go, but ”server problems” made it impossible. Right… because game creators want their games to be released 100% done and with no need for updates that keep the fanbase ...

Trololol… dad makes fun of his daughter with a bit of smartphone programming

Gary Simons, a (presumably) loving dad enjoys playing a certain game of pranking with his daughter. The duo takes turns pranking one another, and it was dad’s turn to get back at her. Mr. Simmons got creative and decided to fiddle around the girl’s phone. He created an app that made her phone seem to be ”possessed” – upon launching her favourite game, the cute dog on the game’s title screen turned into a daemon, device’s screen changed as to look like the glass was broken and – a real cherry on top of the deed – the phone started to emit ...

NokiaPowerUser has found out Nokia 6’s certification online, model number TA-1003, according to which the phone has been certified in Taiwan. A phone with the same model number has also been spotted on GFXBench and Bluetooth certification sites, which suggests that Nokia gets ready to ship Nokia 6 abroad. Will the abroad want it, though?

Huawei P10 teaser

A new video teaser of the upcoming Huawei P10 has launched on YouTube. The slogan ”change the way the world sees you” hints at some new features. Could it be the dual-lens rear camera? Iris scanner? Maybe both? I will leave it to your judgement. We do not know much about the P10’s specifics, but we have heard that the phone will boast 512GB of internal memory and 8GB of RAM (damn…).
