vivo X23 set to arrive on September 6

Image
The vivo X23 appeared numerous times in the past few weeks, including some live photos and official teasers by the company. Today the manufacturer announced on Weibo the official release date of the upcoming smartphone - September 6. It is the same day the vivo V11 Pro is being outed in India, meaning both phones might be the same but with a different moniker for different markets. The upcoming vivo X23 will have fourth-generation under-display fingerprint scanner. It should be faster and more reliable than the one in the vivo NEX S, according to the company.

Week 34 in review: Pocophone F1, Oppo R17 Pro and a bunch of leaks

Image
A rather exiting week, this one. It saw the debut of the Oppo R17 Pro with its triple rear camera, in-display fingerprint sensor and insanely fast SuperVOOC charging. We also got the Xiaomi Pocophone F1 - a Snapdragon 845 powerhouse at the hard to believe price of $300. Meanwhile, the Google Pixel 3 XL, which is still about two months away from its official announcement got reviewed in detail, revealing all there's to know about it.

Sunday debate: Curved vs. flat screens

Image
Ro: It's all about usability and curved screens don't really do that. It all began when Samsung unveiled its first-ever smartphone with a curved screen, the Galaxy Note Edge. It was a jaw-dropping device in an era when almost all smartphones were looking dull and pretty much the same. It also offered extended functionality on the edge. Almost a year later, the Galaxy S6 edge was announced with more features and curvature on both sides of the phone. And here's where things started to go downhill.

Top 10 trending phones of week 34

Image
The Samsung Galaxy Note9 only spent one week on top of our top 10 trending chart, before it had to concede it to the Xiaomi Pocophone F1. The cheapest Snapdragon 845 smartphone caused some real shockwaves and if Xiaomi can actually produce it in volume it might have a real winner on its hands. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is another phone on the rise, capturing third, ahead of last week's runner up - the Mi A2. In fifth and sixth we have a couple of new faces - the Oppo F9 slotting ahead of the Nokia 6.1 Plus or Nokia X6 as it was previously known.

Weekly poll: Xiaomi Pocophone F1, how hot is it?

Image
There are some phone launches that shake up the mobile industry. For example, in 2012 the $300 Nexus 4 (later $200) changed what people consider an acceptable price for a flagship. Then in 2014 the $300 OnePlus One did the same. Then there were four years of darkness that had people question if $1,000 is a sane price for a flagship with a Snapdragon 845 chipset. Well, it's not - not when Xiaomi's Pocophone F1 is on the market. It hits that same magical price of $300 and while phones like the Xiaomi Mi 8 and Asus Zenfone 5z were already pretty affordable, this draws a clear line in the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2NkM6WT via IFTTT

Pope compares Church sexual abuse, corruption to excrement, victims say

Image
On the first papal visit to the country in almost four decades, Francis used a speech at a state event that was also attended by some abuse survivors to acknowledge that it was to the Church's shame it had not addressed these "repugnant crimes" and said he sought a greater commitment to eliminating this "scourge". In a statement, the representatives from the Survivors of Mother and Baby Homes group said Francis condemned corruption and cover up within the Church as "caca", an Italian and Spanish word for human excrement. The statement said that after the pope used the word, his translator explained that it meant "literally filth as one sees in a toilet." A Vatican spokesman had no comment on the details of what was said in the meeting. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2o7cbgZ via Latest News

Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing suspends carpooling after driver rapes and kills woman 

Image
China's transport ministry on Sunday slammed Didi Chuxing's safety lapses as the ride-hailing giant said it would suspend its Hitch service after the rape and murder of a passenger, the second such killing this year. A 20-year-old female passenger was raped and killed by her driver on Friday in the eastern city of Wenzhou, barely three months after a similar incident in May. "These two vicious incidents that have violated the life and safety of passengers has exposed the gaping operational loopholes of the Didi Chuxing platform," the Ministry of Transport said in a statement. "The Ministry demands that Didi... stops making empty promises and takes concrete steps to ensuring passengers' safety." Among a list of demands, the ministry called on the Chinese firm, which calls itself the world's leading mobile transportation platform, to improve its driver vetting and driver education process. The statement was released after a meeting on Sunday between th...

As pope visits Ireland, protesters demand justice over clerical abuse

Image
As the faithful flocked to witness Pope Francis celebrate mass on Sunday, protesters gathered in central Dublin to demand recognition, reconciliation and reparations for the historic wrongs of the Catholic Church in Ireland. In a city decked out in yellow-and-white Vatican flags, thousands of demonstrators -- some visibly emotional -- marched under the rainbow flag, calling for action from a Church they say is yet to redress decades of abuse. "I think he should get on his knees and beg forgiveness of the people of Ireland," Lisa Barcaen, who was dressed as a nun with fake blood on her hands, told AFP. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2BQ6TjE via Latest News

Italy's interior minister faces kidnap charges after immigrants held for ten days at sea

 Italy's far-Right interior minister on Sunday dismissed possible kidnapping charges over the illegal detention of more than 100 migrants as a "badge of honour" as he geared up for a clash with the judiciary.  The group of 150 migrants finally left the Italian coast guard ship Diciotti yesterday after spending 10 days stranded at sea when Italy refused permission for them to disembark, following an agreement for Ireland and Albania to take some of them in.  The ship, also carrying 42 Italian crew members, initially rescued 190 migrants off the coast of Libya on 16 August.  The sickest and youngest were allowed to leave earlier. But approximately a dozen of the mostly Eritrean migrants stranded on board were hospitalized after disembarking Sunday, some with symptoms of tuberculosis, pneumonia and scabies.  Italian Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini speaks at a Lega party meeting in Pinzolo, Italy, Saturday Credit:  Daniele Panato/ ANSA ...
