New York State plans to restore voting rights to about 35,000 New York felons on parole who previously were barred from casting a ballot until they completed their parole, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Wednesday. Cuomo will issue an executive order to restore voting rights to those felons already on parole as well as those who enter the parole system each month, a spokesman said. Most convicted felons in the United States face hurdles and roadblocks to voting, which vary by state. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2EYkHVw via Latest News

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — There was a loud boom, and the plane started shaking violently.

By Patricia Zengerle WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House cranked up pressure on Wednesday on Democratic senators facing tough re-election fights to back secretary of state nominee Mike Pompeo, who looked increasingly likely to face a rare committee rejection before the full Senate can vote on his nomination. President Donald Trump confirmed the CIA director is already deeply involved in diplomacy via a meeting with North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un.

Earlier this week, Razer started pushing out the Android 8.1 Oreo update to its Razer Phone. And now, the company has made available kernel source code as well as factory image for the update as well. The factory image weighs in at around 1.6GB. Complete instructions for flashing the factory image are available at the company's website (see General Instructions page link at the bottom). Razer says you should not use the included USB Type-C to Type-C charging cable for flashing as it's meant for fast power delivery, not for data transfer.

We've heard many rumors and predictions from Ming-Chi Kuo in the past and he has been one of the more accurate leakers when it comes to Apple's product portfolio. With a company so tight-lipped as Apple, Kuo doesn't always get things right - which is why we shouldn't take his word as law. Today, Kuo of KGI Securities added a note to investors that suggest that Apple will finally offer dual SIM variants of two of the three purported models set to be released later this year. Dual SIM support for a 6.1-inch LCD variant of the 2018 iPhone could cost anywhere between $650 and $750 or $550 to... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2JZyK0L via IFTTT

Our Friends over at XDA-Developers have been able to install an early build of Android P on the Huawei Mate 10 Pro. Currently, the Android P developer preview is only available for the Google Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, and technically the Huawei Watch 2 for Wear OS based on Android P. We initially assumed that a ROM developer was able to port Android P over via Project Treble, which has made it easier to port a vanilla Android ROM to smartphones that come with heavily modified OEM skins - like the Galaxy S9. However, it turns out that this is an Android P build with EMUI for the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2qJDcI9 via IFTTT

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy A6 and A6+ have been leaked today in renders based on CAD schematics. Each model gets a render video as well. These two models should launch soon, as the successors to the Galaxy A5 (2017), further cementing the Korean company's new naming scheme for mid-rangers which uses even numbers this year, as seen in the Galaxy A8 (2018) and A8+ (2018). Perhaps bafflingly, the source of these leaks claims that the A6 and A6+ might be sold under the Galaxy J8 and J8+ monikers in certain markets.

Following a teaser on social media which was outed a few days ago, Huawei's arm in India is now sending out press invites for a big unveiling on April 24. On that occasion, the P20 Pro will be announced for the subcontinent, and it will apparently be joined by the P20 lite, but not the P20. With its three rear cameras, the P20 Pro really took the mobile world by storm this year, delivering excellent performance even in low-light scenarios. While it is impressive, don't expect this smartphone to be anything but cheap, as it retails for €899 elsewhere.

The Moto Z3 Play is due for announcement soon and we've already got a well-rounded idea of what to expect from it. That's in large part to an appearance at the FCC which gave us an idea of the specs, and some case renders that gave us an image to go along with those specs. Today we get an even better-looking image from Poetic Cases, which already offer their Karbon Shield case for the Moto Z3 Play.

The Honor 10 is no stranger to the rumor mill, but there still are new details coming to light every day. The phone will use the same 5.84" LTPS display panel as the Huawei P20 Lite, including the notch. The selfie cam in that notch should be the 24 MP module from the P20 and P20 Pro (the Lite model comes with 16 MP). The mix of features continues with a 3.5mm audio jack, unlike the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro. Unfortunately, the Honor 10 will miss out on expandable memory - it will not have a microSD slot like the P20 Lite and Honor View 10 do. It will use the Kirin 970 chipset, however,... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2HsZ6d8 via IFTTT

The Meizu 15 and 15 Plus are due in a few days, on April 22 but despite a few leaks and a visit to the TENAA, we still didn't know what chipset they'll use. Didn't know, that is - at least for the Meizu 15 Plus - thanks to an AnTuTu listing. The bigger of the two will use a Samsung-made Exynos 8895, like the one in the Samsung Galaxy S8. The Meizu 15 Plus also packs 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The final details are the Android version - an aging Android 7.0 Nougat - and the screen resolution - a conventional 16:9 2560x1440px.

The Oppo A3 leaked in some detail, including a MediaTek Helio P60 chipset. This has now been confirmed thanks to TENAA and Geekbench results. The phone is set to have a mid-range price - CNY 2,000 or $320/€260 - so this is an impressive performance per dollar. For comparison, the Oppo R15 uses the same chipset but costs at least 50% more. A respectable Geekbench score by the Oppo A3 Plus, TENAA shows that this is a similar phone with a 6.2" screen with 18:9 aspect ratio and 1,080 x 2,160px resolution.
