Mark Zuckerberg wants to integrate all three of his social network messaging services into one in order to, supposedly, assert his control over the increasing division between the three apps. This in turn will supposedly make it easier for Facebook to better fight against Internet evils such as fake news or hate speech. The plan is to continue operating three apps separately, but to connect them via an underlying technical infrastructure. Reconfiguration of the three social apps should be complete by the end of 2020. Additionally, this process will include incorporating an end-to-end ...
Redmi Note 7 is a decent chopping board
Redmi Note 7 is supposedly selling well, but it could always sell better. As everyone knows, nothing bumps up the sales as much as some good media coverage (well, nothing except delivering a quality product or selling it for competitive prices). Therefore, the only natural conclusion was for Xiaomi to publish a video where the company’s CEO, Lu Weibing, uses their smartphone as a cutting board. Yeah… The arguably entertaining video can be watched here.Redmi Note 7’s specification is as follows:– 6,3′ display Full HD+,– 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon ...
Energizer is preparing a phone with a LARGE battery
Energizer seemingly wants to take a smartphone market by storm. The company plans to show us 26 different smartphone models during the MWC 2019, and while we will probably forget most of them the day they come out, a few of these models have a shot at being more memorable. One of them is one of the Power Max series (there will be four series, Energy, Hardcase, Ultimate and Power Max), which is supposed to come out with an 18000mAh battery. Other interesting models include a foldable one and retractable camera ...

Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus might have a goshdarn large battery
Samsung phones are famous for pretty much never staying secret until their release date; leaks and rumours have the tendency of spilling all over the web way before any Samsung device hits the store shelves. It is the same with Galaxy S10 Plus, another incoming flagship by this company. According to a tweet by famous leakster Ice universe, this smartphone will have a pretty large 4100mAh battery. This rumour is, sadly, not backed up by any actual data. This plus an earlier rumour stating Galaxy S10 Plus’ battery capacity at 4000mAh, puts this piece of gossip into question.Guess we ...
Google Coral? What is that
Well, it is a new smartphone made by Google (duh).

As for the device itself, some speculate that it may be Google Pixel ...
iPhone sells well in the US and much less well in China
According to the research performed by the Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, iPhone XR was the best selling phone of the last quarter of 2018 in the US. The number of iPhone 8 equals that of iPhones 8 and 8 Plus combined, and iPhone XR counted for 39% of all Apple smartphones sold in that time. Unfortunately (or fortunately), things are not as great in China: During the whole 2018 Apple has managed to sell only 34.2 million units of their devices there, 2.5 million less than two years ago. Apple has lost its position of the 2nd favourite Chinese smartphone brand to Xiaomi; as for ...
Samsung Galaxy Fold will also have a 5G version available
Sorry for the overabundance of Samsung news: I will do my best to find something else to write about soon. For now, though, lets get back to topic at hand. Currently there are two major new trends slowly entering the world of mobile devices: one is foldability and another is 5G connectivity. Samsung probably knows this and has decided that there is no need to spread itself too thin, hence why its upcoming Galaxy F will also be available in a 5G connectivity supporting version. This decision has probably been made after Huawei’s announcement that it is working on a 5G device; Samsung ...
