Vodafone, one of UK’s telecommunications conglomerates, has just connected the Manchester Airport to the 5G web. Visitors can use the 5G connectivity via the so-called ”blast pods”. This is supposedly a trial for a wider launch sometime next year. Tweet Vote on HN ...

Have you ever been in a situation where your boss came to you at work and told you to stop watching YouTube as it strains the office’s web connection? I have and let me tell you, it was not pleasant. Other than giving me a mild case of guilt as well as showing how poor our Internet connection is, it also made me think: okay, so how can I listen to YouTube’s content? You see, I have never actually ”watched” stuff on YT at work – I listened to it. Sometimes to music, sometimes to movie or video game bits, sometimes to YT shows or audiobooks. Still, along with ...

Are you tired of constantly having to charge your phone? Would you prefer a phone that you can just leave for a few days without having to look for that pesky charger? I know that I do, and if I weren’t saving up cash I would probably look to buy Energizer’s new Power Max P18K Pop, a smartphone with a massive 18000mAh battery. This reportedly gives it four days of life before the phone has to be recharged. Afraid that the recharge will take hours? Do not be – 18 W Quick Charge makes sure that it will not be an overly long process. The only concern remaining is weight ...

Something possibly nice is coming for mobile-gaming Warhammer fans out there. Warhammer: Chaos & Conquest is a strategy game set in the world of seemingly Age of Sigmar (it does not look like 40k, no matter what other websites say), the fantasy-themed setting of WH franchise. C&C puts you in the shoes of a Chaos Lord, champion of the evil Chaos Gods, whose goal is to expand his (or her, I suppose) kingdom and conquer all that there is. Game’s trailer is available, but it fails to explain much about the game other than it will be a strategy with base building elements, ...

It is tad weird that the device’s front has not been shown but oh well, lets take what they give; and what they give are the first official renders of the Mi 9 smartphone. What do they show us? – triple main camera (rumour is that it is a 48mpx + 12mpx + ???, with ToF),– a pretty pleasant, blue colour variant,– no rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, which means that there is probably one in the phone’s display.Other gossip surrounding this device speak of tear-shaped notch and specs such as Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 CPU, 3500mAh battery, 6GB RAM & 128GB memory ...

This device will probably hit the stores under the iQQQ logo, a new brand made specifically for Vivo’s premium devices. This makes sense, as it is doubtful that one of the first foldables on the market will be cheap. First renders depicting this device have just been revealed by the Chinese website Weibo. They show us a smartphone that folds in the middle of the screen; very much unlike the Xiaomi project, but similiar to the Galaxy F. Specs-wise, nothing is known about Vivo; we will have to wait until 25-28th MWC to learn ...

A list of devices that will support the future MIUI 11 update has been put online. It consists of both Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones, although some Poco models will probably get it in the future as well:– Mi 9, Mi 8, Mi 8 SE, Mi 8 Pro, Mi 8 Explorer Edition, Mi 6,– Mi Mix 3, Mi Mix 2s, Mix Mix 2, Mi Mix, Mi Note 3, Mi Note 2,– Mi 6X, Mi 5c, Mi 5X, Mi 5s, Mi 5s Plus, Mi Max 3, Mi Max 2, Mi Max, Mi Play, Mi Play,– Redmi 6, Redmi 6A, Redmi 6 Pro, Redmi 5, Redmi 5A, Redmi 5 Plus, Redmi 4, Redmi 4A, Redmi 4X, Redmi 3s, Redmi 3X, Redmi S2,– Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 6 ...

Yesterday an interesting accident took place in the international London metro station. The usual hustle and bustle of the terminal has been interrupted when a sudden explosion has been heard, with smoke quickly filling the hall. People, sadly used to terrorist attacks, started to run, but soon stopped when it became clear there is no danger: it was a smartphone or, more specifically, smartphone’s battery that was the culprit. The specific model has yet to be recognized, though some speculate that it may be Sony Xperia; the phone’s owner has not been found. Nobody has got hurt, ...

Launch date of The Division 2 is near (march 15th), but do not worry, you will get to play your beta before that. Open beta will take place on March 1 to 4. It will be available to every PC owner with Uplay as well as to owners of Xbox One and PS4. The beta will open quite a large part of the game, too: whole east side of the city, with its Dark Zone and settlement, 2 campaign missions and 5 sidequests, 4v4 pvp and an unspecified end-game content – a raid, perhaps? We shall see – personally I am waiting for Anthem ...

Have you always wanted a real Harley-Davidson chopper but you are only sixteen and your parents would never buy you one? Do not worry: there is a small, slow and, in general, significantly less awesome alternative that you can ask them for, at least as long as you do not mind looking like a toddler on its first fourwheeler. During this year’s Winter X Games, H-D has decided to present its newest product: an electric scooter. We have not learned anything about the technicalities of this device, but it has been called a working prototype, so I suppose that its release date is near. H-D ...
