Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came to life yesterday, and a couple of US tech giants are already being accused of breaking the law. Non-profit noyb.eu has filed a complaint against Google, Facebook, as well as WhatsApp and Instragram, accusing them of engaging in "forced consent", which is basically a 'take it or leave it' approach where-in users are barred from using a service completely if they do not agree to the terms set by the company. Here's an excerpt from the complaint: Facebook has even blocked accounts of users who have not given consent. In the end... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2IMWuZd via IFTTT

A new report from Reuters says that ZTE and the US government have reached a deal to get ZTE back in business in the US, according to a senior congressional aide. The proposal goes against Congress, the majority of which believes that the Trump administration should not give into the pressure of easing up on ZTE since the company broke sanctions against North Korea and Iran. The ban would bar ZTE from conducting business with American companies and would ban all sales within the US for seven years. Trump has negotiated a $1.3 billion fine with the Chinese President over a phone call, as... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2INAOMw via IFTTT

First spotted by Mobielkopen, the Samsung Galaxy Note9 has been benchmarked on the popular benchmark app: Geekbench. Although the Note9 has already been benchmarked in the past, it was running the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 CPU. This new benchmark is running Samsung's in-house Exynos 9810 CPU paired with 6GB of RAM. The general consensus between the Qualcomm and Exynos variants of modern Galaxy devices is that the Exynos device usually has slightly better real-life performance. This was especially true with the Galaxy S7 edge, whose Exynos model was not plagued with lag throughout the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2xd9TnP via IFTTT

Second, you'll have to pick an installment plan with AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint and not pay for the handset in full when you buy it. Oh, and the price reduction will be applied as a deduction from your monthly installments.

Motorola announced the G6 Plus last month, but it looks like there may be an even higher-end iteration of the phone coming soon. That's because today a couple of live hands-on images surfaced, depicting a G6 Plus powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC. You can see those shots below. The weird thing is that the G6 Plus we know (and have reviewed) has the Snapdragon 630 at the helm. So what gives? We assume there's a possibility that Motorola will soon unveil a G6 variant with the SD660 and 6GB of RAM, like the one seen in the pictures.
