Interest in Huawei devices dwindles following US ban, replaced with interest in Samsung and Xiaomi phones

Posted: 25 May 2019 03:00 AM PDT

The US ban of Huawei is causing all sorts of trouble for the Chinese phone maker including its ability to sell new smartphones in markets where the brand has a strong presence. According to Reuters, a product comparison website called PriceSpy has reportedly seen significantly lower click rates in the past four days. It's not just network providers and tech giants who are turning their backs on Huawei. Over the last four days, Huawei handsets have slumped in popularity - receiving almost half as many clicks as they did last week in the UK and 26% less on the global stage. PriceSpy has...

Best Buy cancels all Galaxy Fold pre-orders, Samsung still doesn't have a release date

Posted: 24 May 2019 11:00 PM PDT

Samsung postponed the Galaxy Fold's launch indefinitely due to issues that some reviewers found with debris possibly entering through the hinge and damaging the folding display, as well as the protective cover applied to the panel, which looked so much like a screen protector that people might be tempted to pull it off, thus killing the panel. The Korean company has detailed the improvements it's made to the Galaxy Fold earlier this month, and for weeks now it's been saying a new release date will be announced imminently. That still hasn't happened, though, and Best Buy has lost its...

OnePlus 7 Pro hit with insufficient stock in China just as phantom touch issue appears

Posted: 24 May 2019 07:00 PM PDT

The OnePlus 7 Pro went on sale in China on May 21 and sales exceeded CNY 1 billion ($144 million) in just one minute, making it JD.com's best selling single product.

Posted: 24 May 2019 05:00 PM PDT

Today Apple has released iOS 12.3.1 to all of the supported iPhones and iPads. As its name implies, this is in no way a big release, it's actually just meant to fix a bunch of bugs. Those bugs have to do with VoLTE calls - specifically there was an issue that could prevent making or receiving such calls. The Messages app got two fixes too, one of a bug that could cause messages from unknown senders to appear in your conversation list even if you had the Filter Unknown Senders option enabled, and the other of an issue that could prevent the Report Junk link from appearing in Messages...

Posted: 24 May 2019 03:00 PM PDT
