Two of the largest Android phone producers, HTC and Motorola, have vehemently stated that they do NOT, repeat, do NOT slow down their phones’ processors when their batteries get old. Apple’s coming out (more like being made to come out) has put other manufacturers into a state of mild panick, making everyone to stand up, raise their hand and proclamate that they do not do that thing that evil Apple does, no sir, never ever. HTC and Motorola are the first large smartphone producers to do so; Samsung, Google and LG are believed to follow suit soon.Heh. ...

Personally I would rather he spoke through a banana, but okay. According to a picture captured by the intelligence agencies (do not ask me which agency exacly, I do not know), the beloved leader of the greatest country in the world is using what seems to be an outdated model of HTC smartphone, possibly clad in a case – better safe than sorry, right? As soon as the picture leaked online, Samsung denied that it is its smartphone; it most probably is not an iPhone because Evil America. That leaves, according to people better versed at smartphone models than I am, HTC.Makes me wonder how ...

HTC U11 Life will be released this week as part of Android One initiative, and yet we get to be slightly surprised by it for one last time. Roland Quandt, one of the more famous leaksters online, has just released a press render of the device in an elegant Brilliant Black colour variant. Mr Quandt’s findings are usually legitimate, so more likely than not this is the real deal. Picture shows the front, back and side of the phone.As far as specification goes, U11 Life is your typical mid-ranger:– Snapdragon 630 CPU,– 3/4GB RAM, 32/64GB ROM,– 5.2′ display, 1080p ...

That is what @LlabTooFeR, one of the more well-known smartphone leaksters, claims. He believes that the update is reaching last stages of development as we speak, and should roll out by the end of November/early December. Upgrade to Oreo would be a huge deal, since U11 has been running on 7.1 Nougat since day 1. There are plans to upgrade HTC 10 and U Ultra as well, but we have no details on that.On the side note, on November 2nd HTC will reveal two variants of the U11, U11 Plus and Lite, with Lite being rumoured to come out with stock Android 8.0. ...

OnLeaks strikes again, this time with video depicting what may or may not be – but probably is – HTC U11 Plus. As a bonus, he also brought us some of the device’s specifications. Of course all this info can turn out to be false but, first of all, OnLeaks is known for delivering good information and second, U11 Plus will be officially revealed so soon – on November 2nd – that there is almost no room for anything about the phone to change. So, here you can watch the video depicting the device, and below is what is expected to be its specification:– 6′ ...

In more Verizon news, this arguably most popular US phone carrier has just released an Android 7.0 Nougat update for HTC Desire 530 smartphones. The update comes off as a surprise, seeing how Desire 530 is a rather budget phone, but hey, good for us. Changes include August security patch. Also, do not count on future updates – Verizon has been generous as it is.Before downloading & installing the update, make sure that your phone is charged and connected to the wi-fi. It will take roughly 1.5GB of storage memory, so delete those naughty pictures to make ...
