| Spotify is testing a new voice-enabled ads on mobile Posted: 04 May 2019 07:00 AM PDT  Amidst the ongoing major battle on the video streaming scene it is often easy to overlook its music streaming counterpart. The user expansion, retention and monetization challenges it faces are not dissimilar, with major players like Apple and Spotify currently clashing particularly hard in the vast emerging India market. By all accounts, the latter top-dog finds itself in a rather favourable position, recently breaking the 100 million mark in Premium subscribers. But properly capitalizing on its massive 117 million free-tier user base is the real challenge. Enter voice-enabled ads. Still... |
| This is what the OnePlus 7 Pro might cost in India Posted: 04 May 2019 05:00 AM PDT  The OnePlus 7 Pro is all set to be unveiled on May 14 at simultaneous events in the US, the UK, and India. A detailed specs sheet of this smartphone leaked two days ago, and now, its India pricing has also surfaced online. This information comes to us from Ishan Agarwal who's been pretty reliable with the leaks so far. According to him, the 6GB/128GB model of the OnePlus 7 Pro will cost INR49,999 ($723), whereas the 8GB/256GB version will be priced at INR52,999 ($766). The top-end variant, with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, will carry a price tag of INR57,999 ($838). Do note that these... |
| HMD teases May 7 India launch of Nokia 4.2 Posted: 04 May 2019 03:00 AM PDT  Last week, we reported that Nokia 3.2 and 4.2 were listed on the company's official India website hinting at an imminent launch. Now HMD Global, via Nokia, has shared a video teasing the May 7 launch date of the Nokia 4.2 in India. This video shows off the dedicated Google Assistant button on the Nokia 4.2 which is located on the left side of the phone. The 3.2 also has this dedicated Assistant key on its left bezel, and it remains to be seen whether it will debut alongside the 4.2 in India on May 7, or will launch at a later date instead. All your answers are a tap away. 4 days before... |
| Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 surfaces with a pop-up selfie camera Posted: 04 May 2019 01:00 AM PDT  We saw renders of the Huawei P Smart Z last week with a pop-up selfie camera, and today, we are looking at yet another smartphone from the Chinese phone maker which also sports an elevating camera. It's called the Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 and has a design similar to that of the P Smart Z, except that it has an additional camera at the back. Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 The hardware on the Y9 Prime 2019 is said to be similar to that of the P Smart Z, but we are looking at slight differences in the camera department. The P Smart Z features a dual camera setup - a combination of 16MP main and... |
| Unknown HTC device appears in GeekBench with MediaTek CPU and 6GB RAM Posted: 03 May 2019 10:00 PM PDT  Back in December, HTC announced that it was going to change up its smartphone strategy for 2019. Part of that strategy is extending the life-cycle of the HTC U12+ and U12 Life. It also vowed to focus on flagship and midrange smartphones for this year. A new listing appeared on GeekBench for an unknown HTC device running a MediaTek Helio P35 paired with 6GB RAM. The device has a model number HTC 2Q741 and runs Android 9 Pie. We wonder if this could be an upcoming mid-range smartphone from HTC. It could perhaps even be a MediaTek variant of the same smartphone that was spotted on... |
| OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro won't have an IP rating for water and dust resistance because it's expensive Posted: 03 May 2019 07:00 PM PDT  OnePlus is continuing its relentless teaser campaign for its soon to be launched OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro smartphones, and today's installment is... odd. The company has done its fair share of irreverent marketing in the past, but this is something else. So, you may be aware that one of the features that is found in practically all of the more expensive competitors to OnePlus devices is an IP rating for water and dust resistance. However, the company has so far resisted adding it to its phones. And that is not changing with the OnePlus 7 series, as you can see from the video... |
| Sprint will sell Google's Pixel 3 XL soon Posted: 03 May 2019 04:00 PM PDT  Google's Pixels have only been sold directly by one of the 'big four' US carriers for years - we mean Verizon. But now the strategy seems to be ready to change. Last month there were mumblings about T-Mobile soon starting sales of the Pixel 3 and 3 XL, as well as the yet-unannounced Pixel 3a and 3a XL. And today a purported leak of an internal document from a Sprint store somewhere in the US clearly shows that it will get a retail display fixture at some point in the future, for the Pixel 3 XL. And why have a retail display if you aren't going to sell the phone it shows? Exactly.... |
| Nokia 9 PureView Indian launch seems imminent Posted: 03 May 2019 01:00 PM PDT  The Nokia 9 PureView was announced back at MWC in February and ever since then it's been a long wait for Indian fans wanting to get their hands on one. That may all change very soon, however. The Nokia 9 PureView, specifically the version with the model number TA-1087, has now been certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), which is a prerequisite step for starting sales in the country. This means the launch of the Nokia 9 in the subcontinent could very well be imminent. In fact, HMD Global has been teasing its flagship's arrival in India since March, so it's high time this... |
| LG G8 ThinQ gets tortured in video durability test Posted: 03 May 2019 11:04 AM PDT  The LG G8 ThinQ was unveiled back in February at MWC, to much less fanfare than its Korean rival Samsung's flagships. Despite the lack of hype, before and after release, it's still a pretty interesting handset nevertheless. But the most important question is undoubtedly: how well can it survive a torture test? As always, we turn to Zack from YouTube channel JerryRigEverything to answer that question for us in video form. Like all of these durability tests, he starts out by scratching the phone, then goes on to burn its screen, and finally tries to bend it. Spoiler alert: the G8's... |
