Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) is now on sale in Europe

Image
After some Asian markets, the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) has now been launched in Europe. The device is currently listed on the South Korean company's Netherlands website for €499 (around $595). The A8+ (2018) isn't currently listed and chances are it won't be coming to the Old Continent. The blue color variant of the Galaxy A8 (2018) is missing as well, but that's probably going to arrive at a later stage. Other European markets should also get the phones soon. The devices are expected to go on sale in India tomorrow (Jan 10). Source | Via from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2EpggTZ via IFTTT

Russian language support coming to Google Assistant

Quite a lot is going on with Google Assistant these days. New Assistant-powered TVs and speakers are being announced and the company just announced Assistant for smart displays as well. And now, it has come to light that the virtual assistant may learn a new language soon: Russian. Yes, the company is reportedly running a closed beta program for Assistant's Russian language feature.

AT&T decides not to sell Huawei Mate 10 in the US after all

Image
Rumors about Huawei being in talks with AT&T regarding flagship smartphone sales first popped up last March. We then saw firmware files confirming a deal, and everything seemed to be on track. A few days before New Year's Eve word got out that the Mate 10 Pro launch at AT&T got pushed to February, but now it's apparently never going to happen. According to a new report from the Wall Street Journal, AT&T has decided to back out of the deal with the Chinese smartphone maker.

Oreo still hasn't reached 1% market share, Google's monthly report reveals

Image
Since it's the beginning of a new month, you can be sure of two things: that a new Android security update is out for supported Nexus and Pixel devices, and that Google's updated its Android distribution chart. This shows us how much of the market each individual version of the OS takes up. As usual, the latest iteration is growing, but at an excruciatingly slow pace. Oreo was at 0.5% a month ago, and now it's reached a whopping 0.7%. At this rate, many months will pass before it even arrives at 10%. That's always been the way things are in the Android world, however. The most... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2meXWGj via IFTTT

Galaxy Note8 in the UK gets first update since September

Image
Certain owners of Samsung's Galaxy Note8 may already be receiving Android 8.0 Oreo in some parts of the world, but if you live in the UK and purchased your handset unlocked the situation is very different. The SIM-free Note8 units in Britain haven't been graced with a software update of any kind since last September. While they're still not getting Oreo, today a new release has finally become available for the unlocked Note8 in the UK. It brings with it the December 1 security patch level, as well as the Secure Wi-Fi feature and improvements for the Live Focus functionality.

Apple outs iOS 11.2.2 and macOS 10.13.2 supplemental update to mitigate Spectre vulnerability

Apple has already confirmed that Macs and iOS devices are affected by the recently disclosed Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities that have taken the tech world by storm in the past few days. And while it's already applied patches to mitigate Meltdown (in iOS 11.2 and macOS 10.13.2), today it's time for a couple of software updates to go out in order to address Spectre. iOS 11.2.2 and a supplemental update for macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 have been released with that exact aim in mind.

Asus Zenfone Max Plus makes its way to North America

Asus launched the Zenfone Max Plus (M1) in November in Russia and expanded its availability across other European regions by the middle of December. At CES 2018 the company announced that it will also arrive to the US and Canada. The Max Plus (M1) will cost $229 for the 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage version. It also has a rather disappointing MT6750T chipset and Android 7.0 Nougat. The key selling point of the phone is a powerful 4,130 mAh battery. Display-wise, the phone has 5.7" panel with 18:9 ratio and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels.

The Garmin Forerunner 645 Music smartwatch can store up to 500 songs

Image
Garmin watches are some of the best ones you can take on your daily run - but until now you had to bring your own music player. The Forerunner 645 Music changes that by providing offline storage for 500 songs. You just need to pair it with some comfy Bluetooth earphones and you're good to go. The watch will support contactless payments soon, so it shouldn't be too jealous of smartwatches. Admittedly on both counts it uses less popular services - iHeartRadio and Deezer, but no Spotify. And it's Garmin Pay, which doesn't have the penetration of competing services. Garmin... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2D8ZFEx via IFTTT

Samsung unveils The Wall: a whopping 146" TV with MicroLED display

Image
Aptly named "The Wall", Samsung's 146" TV is a marvel. It's the world's first modular MicroLED TV and while it's huge, it's really the technology behind it that has us more excited. You may have heard of MicroLED as a potential future replacement of OLED (on phones and elsewhere). It is similar in that each pixel is its own light so it offers perfect black levels (and doesn't need a backlight like LCD, no color filters either). On top of that it will offer superior brightness, power efficiency and (more importantly) longer life than current OLED displays.

LG G7 will go on sale in April, sources from Korean carriers claim

A new name and a new venue are in store for the phone that probably won't be called LG G7. A Korean carrier official stated that the new flagship will become available in April. Another source adds that the phone will be unveiled in the middle of March instead of the MWC (like the G6). The Korean launch will be on April 20, yet another source claims and if tradition holds, the phone will reach Europe and the US a couple of weeks later.

HTC ends poor year on a low note: revenues drop to lowest level in 13 years

HTC ended 2017 on a low note - December saw revenues of NTD 4.02 billion or $136 million dollars. That's a sharp drop of 29% compared to November and an even worse 37.3% compared to December 2016. Note: this are unaudited numbers. The HTC U11+, which might have been Google's Pixel 2 XL in another life, went on sale in December but did not help to reverse HTC's downward trajectory. 2017 was a poor year for the long-time smartphone maker.

No Dolby Atmos on Oreo-powered Galaxy S8/S8+, Samsung says

Late last week, a leaked stable Oreo ROM for Samsung Galaxy S8 revealed Dolby Atmos support. However, the South Korean company clarified that there are no plans to add such a feature. The comment was made by a member of Samsung's UK Beta Team. Last week's leak even included a screenshots of the feature, so Samsung denial comes as a bit of surprise.

North Korea to send team to Winter Games, South to consider easing bans after talks

By Christine Kim and Josh Smith SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said during rare talks with the South on Tuesday it will send a delegation to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in South Korea next month and Seoul said it was prepared to lift some sanctions temporarily to facilitate the visit if needed. North Korean officials at the first formal talks with South Korea in more than two years said their delegation for the Games would consist of athletes, high-ranking officials and a cheering squad.
