ZTE is launching Axon 10 Pro in the US at $550, promises Android 10 soon

Posted: 28 Aug 2019 07:52 AM PDT

Last year was hard for ZTE - a US ban caused it to cease operations and though it was lifted relatively quickly, the company posted massive losses. All of that didn't faze ZTE, however, and today it returns to the US market with a bang. The ZTE Axon 10 Pro is now available for pre-order over at zteusa.com and B&H. Shipments are expected to start in early September. It costs $550 - not a bad deal for a phone with Snapdragon 855, large AMOLED display and a triple camera (48MP main, tele and wide). The base model comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB storage, but you can have 12GB of RAM for...

Samsung Galaxy A71 and A91 are coming in 2020 with Android 10

Posted: 28 Aug 2019 07:15 AM PDT

It's no secret that Samsung is preparing the next-generation A-series but we now have a clue when the first phones from the family might arrive and which ones will be the first on the market. According to Galaxy Club's report, the Galaxy A71 and A91 will be the first one from the series and will come with Android 10 out of the box. This could mean that the phones will be released in the Spring of 2020 right after the Galaxy S11-series. Samsung usually releases smartphones running the new software version after its S lineup so it would make sense for the new A-series to arrive with...

Posted: 28 Aug 2019 06:00 AM PDT

It looks like the "Pro" moniker is here to stay as one of the naming trends making waves through smartphone manufacturers. Meizu is the latest brand to release a Pro version in its lineup with the newly announced Meizu 16s Pro. Overall, the device is an incremental update to the Meizu 16s which was released back in April. The main differences come under the hood with the Snapdragon 855+ chipset and around the back with the new triple camera setup.

LG's rollable smartphone pictured in 3D renders

Posted: 28 Aug 2019 05:05 AM PDT

It looks like LG is looking a few steps ahead with its rollable smartphone design. The company still hasn't come out with a working foldable handset and here we start to see an even more advanced screen technology that can bend in two directions. Earlier this month, LG has filed a patent about the rollable smartphone that we talk about. It's a bit different than the rollable pen kind of phone we've reported a year ago. The images in the patent reveal a full-fledged smartphone with a screen that bends in more than one direction and has two hinges. This way the display wraps around the...

Posted: 28 Aug 2019 01:00 AM PDT

When Honor announced the 9X will be the successor of the 8X series, company executives proudly said the Honor 8X is the best-selling smartphone for the Huawei brand. It sold in 15 million units, 10 million of them in the first 173 days, and now it appears that the Honor 9X lineup is about to smash this record in pieces.

New Realme Q series officially arriving on September 5

Posted: 27 Aug 2019 11:05 PM PDT

Realme is having an event in China to introduce its new Q series. The announcement was made on Weibo by the company CMO Xu Qi Chase, who said four new products will be announced. This might sound like four Realme Q smartphones, but in reality we expect the Realme 5, Realme 5 Pro, Realme XT and Realme Q1 on stage. The post on Weibo does not say much about the specs of the phone. We should see another device with four cameras on the back, since the company's Weibo profile is all about the "four-cam era". One assumption that could be made is a device with the same design on the back -...

It will be in stock on September 3, when it will be offered across Europe by select retailers and operators. So what do you get for that cash? Not a whole lot in terms of specs, but you can bask in the glory of owning the most sustainable phone ever, or something of the sort.

Posted: 27 Aug 2019 08:30 PM PDT

While Samsung may not be the fastest company out there when it comes to rolling out updates to big new Android versions, it is increasingly supporting older models, even those that were anything but flagships when they launched. Case in point: the Galaxy J5 (2017) has been on the market for more than two years already, and has already received one major Android update taking it from Nougat to Oreo. And starting today, it's being updated to Android 9 Pie too, with Samsung's new One UI on top. The update is currently rolling out only in Russia, and if you bought your J5 (2017)...

The latest smartphone to be graced with the EMUI 9.1 update is the Huawei Y6 (2019). The company initially promised that the new software would reach this handset in July, but then the timeline changed to August, and here we are.

Microsoft has just announced the date of its next big hardware event: October 2. On that day it will hold a gathering in NYC, the traditional location for launching new Surface devices. But this may be a little bit more than a pure hardware event. Microsoft's use of hashtags as well as the Windows logo seen in the invite itself suggest we may hear some things about the next Windows 10 update as well. On the hardware front, don't be surprised to see the Surface Laptop 3, Surface Pro 7, and Surface Book 3 getting official on this occasion. Surface earbuds may join them, as well as new...
