Today's report comes from HTC Source who reports that a trusted source claims the HTC U12 might have design elements from the HTC U11 and U11+: two pieces of glass with a metal frame sandwiched between. Like the U11+, we can expect a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and dual camera system. Given that HTC has messed with dual camera phones in the past (HTC EVO 3D and HTC One M8) it will be interesting to see if HTC will go into a different direction with dual cameras or if it will follow other OEMs. We also wonder if the U12 would have dual front-cameras like the U11 Eyes.

One of the more interesting features of Google Home devices is the ability to make phone calls by simply asking Google. This feature has been available in the United States for several months now and the UK is the second market to get the feature. All you have to do is say "Hey, Google, Call Dave" or "Call Mum". If you've never placed a call with Google Home in the past, your device will tell you to go into the Home app and set up voice calling.

Official-looking promo images show off the triple camera setup on the Huawei P20 series and they reveal the ace up its sleeve - AI. The tagline reads "See mooore with AI" (three Os for three cameras, get it?). Previous images of the P20 showed only two cameras, so the three camera setup may be reserved for the Pro model. It's a little strange that the third camera is on a separate "island", but perhaps there's a good reason for that - we'll find out on March 27.

Broadcom's acquisition of Qualcomm may be in trouble from an unexpected source. There was a possibility that the shareholder meeting (which was scheduled for today) would scoff at the new, lower price or that antitrust authorities would object to this concentration of Wi-Fi tech (remember: Qualcomm is in the process of absorbing NXP). But no, it's the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) that caused the shareholder meeting to be delayed by 30 days. Perhaps it's not that surprising, the US has been pretty negative towards foreign companies lately. And while Broadcom... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2D3kkrX via IFTTT

Samsung's latest DeX dock allows the Galaxy S9 to be used as a trackpad, a feature that Huawei already supported in its own PC mode and Microsoft in its Continuum before that. Android P may bring official support for this and even add the option of using the phone as a keyboard. A patch for this was committed back in December 2016, but has been disabled. Using a phone as a trackpad is pretty okay, though the typing experience won't be great. Still, simplifying the controls to something like joystick sounds nice - e.g. an extra controller for your console.

Nashville Mayor Megan Barry agreed to resign on Tuesday as part of a plea deal regarding a felony theft charge, about one month after admitting to an extramarital affair with her bodyguard. The Tennessee politician had initially planned to stay in office following the revelation that she had an intimate relationship with Sgt. Robert Forrest, but an ethics review and special committee's probe into misuse of funds led the Democrat to cede her role. The 54-year-old Democratic mayor has served in her municipal position since 2015, and news of her extramarital relationship comes after Barry lost her 22-year-old son, Max, to a drug overdose last July. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2FlRxk9 via Latest News
