Yes, thanks to JDI (Japann Display Inc.) which designed LCD screen that needs only simbolic bezels on all sides (as comarison take LG project that steel needs bigger one on single side).What it means for us? Primarily better looking smartphones and screen to body ratio. So yes, in near future we can have model with 6-inch display which is only little bigger then this (in terms of length and width – thickness is different problem).On the picture we can see prototype of 5,5″ 1080p. We can expect phones with fully working screens of this type around middle of 2017.Source: ...

Well it’s not a big info but definitly nice one – UHANS A101 will get double layer of rubber on back cover.It can mean problems with heat but improve grip, feel and protect from finferprints.And here you have clip showing back of A101.Source: gizmochina Tweet Vote on HN ...

Do you remember yesterday info about four more gaps in Snapragon drivers?That’s nice because Google announced that solution for this kind of danger is in use…Verify Apps was created just for this type of problems and is activ in devices with Android 4.2 – owners of older versions of OS can manualy turn it on in Google Settings app in security tab.But still, until patch will be avaible I would not install apps from outside of Googlpe Play.Source: Android Authority Tweet Vote ...

And with name inadequate to phone. But ok, concentrate on phone firstHelio P10 and 3GB of RAM are good duet for mid-end phone and 4000mAh battery is perfect complement giving few hours of work even with games or multimedia.Now disadvantages (or one disadvantage to be ...

Probably we all heard about Edward Snowden – person who leaked calssified NSA files in 2013. (at the moment staying in Russia as political refugee).And what about this “safe phonecase” from headline? Simple – it’s phonecase (first for iPhones 6 then maybe for other models) which will monitor (and possibly block) signals from smartphone that can reveal its loclisation.If you want to ask why than here’s the answer: because airplane mode don’t block all localisation signals like GPS and in some models you can still recive an sms.It’s project ...

What it offers?On paper quite good performance with its tri-cluster build: 4xCortex A-73 (2.8GHz) + 4xCortex A-53 (2.2GHz) + 2xCortex A-35 (2GHz). And all of this in 10nm technology FinFETIn addition it supports camera sensors up to 40MP, 8GB RAM in LPDDR4 type, LTE CAT 12 and have build-in quad-core PowerVR 7XT graphic processor.All of this gives us powerfull tool for VR. And first models with this SoC should be avaible in second half on next year.Will it be more powerfull then Qualcoms chips? In terms of pure power deffinitly not but taking recent security problems of Snapdragons into ...

The biggest pain I have is hybrid dual SIM (where in one slot you put micro SIM and another is hybrid – nano SIM or microSD) but it’s standard now.Source: gsmManaiaK (Polish) and Android ...
