Samsung is launching the Galaxy Note10 Lite in India on January 21. The company has been sending out emails saying exactly this to people who had registered on its Indian website to be notified about any news regarding the handset's availability in the subcontinent.

The phone was introduced internationally earlier this month. According to the images Samsung has on its Indian website, the Aura Glow and Aura Red...

Mate 30 Pro EU rollout continues, it's launching in Eastern Europe for €1000, without GMS

Posted: 17 Jan 2020 11:00 AM PST

No, unfortunately, there has been no discernible change for the better in current Huawei/US geopolitical relations and the Huawei Mate 30 Pro still lacks Google Play Services. However, the Chinese giant is hardly taking the blow lying down and has been doing the best it can to still offer the device in any limited fashion it can on Western markets, even if just for the sake of exposure. We've already seen Google-less Mate 30 Pro units pop-up in the United Arab Emirates, Switzerland and Spain, to name a few countries. Apparently, the latest European push comes from Bulgaria, where...
