LG G7 arrives in two more variants, one of them with Snapdragon 835

Image
IFA is starting in Berlin and companies have already begun announcing the devices they will unveil at the conference. LG introduced today the LG G7 One and the LG G7 Fit as an addition to its smartphone portfolio. The first phone arrives with Snapdragon 835 chipset as part of the Android One program, while the latter has an older processor and likely a more affordable price tag. LG G7 One The LG G7 One is the first phone from the G-series with the Snapdragon 835 since LG G6 arrived with the older Snapdragon 821 after Samsung hoarding all the 835s, while the LG G7 ThinQ... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2PLow7l via IFTTT

Cheapest 2018 iPhone may be late, no Apple Pencil support for handsets this year

Image
Apple has long been rumored to introduce three new iPhones this year, at an event that might take place during the week of September 9. A 5.8" direct successor to the iPhone X (with a new chipset and camera system), a 6.5" larger / "Plus" version of that, and a 6.1" model that will be the cheapest of the bunch. Its lower price will be achieved by using an LCD screen instead of AMOLED, and an aluminum frame instead of stainless steel. Speaking of which, the color of the chassis may not entirely match that of the glass back. All three iPhones will have wireless charging, along with Face... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2BTYoUV via IFTTT

Huawei Mate 20 Lite stars in a few detailed hands-on articles

Image
Huawei's Mate 20 Lite is the first handset in the series to become official. It's already up for pre-order in Poland and Germany, as we told you earlier today. It's no coincidence that the phone was introduced to the world in Poland, because the Mate 10 Lite used to be the best selling Huawei smartphone in the country. The company is clearly hoping that the new model will beat its predecessor's sales numbers. A couple of Polish websites have already released detailed hands-on impressions of the Mate 20 Lite, and one of them created the video you can see below.

Pocophone F1: a list of all countries where it will be available

Image
The Pocophone F1 was unveiled in France, Hong Kong and Indonesia today. But the new flagship killer will cover much more territory than those three countries. Here's an image from the presentation containing the full list: Note that there are going to be regional differences of what's available. For example, in Spain the 64GB model starts at €330, but Xiaomi offers a €30 coupon that drops the price to €300. Go and claim it here (read the terms and conditions). However, the 128GB model costs more than expected - €400. Meanwhile in France, the 64GB model starts at €360, the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Nodlj2 via IFTTT

Google might unveil the Pixel 3 phones on October 9

Image
The Pixel 2 and 2 XL were unveiled on October 4 2017 so it was only natural to believe that the Pixel 3 and 3 XL will come out on the same date this year. We even had a sort of confirmation for the October 4 date. Now Bloomberg throws that into question - it claims that the 3rd generation Pixels will be unveiled at a media event in New York on October 9. The torrential downpour of leaks we've experienced over the last few days has left few secrets about the Pixel 3 XL (even the smaller model didn't get away unscathed). So, we can't imagine any reason for Google to push back the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2LwjhoG via IFTTT

Insiders: all three Galaxy S10 models to use in-display fingerprint readers

Image
As far back as the Galaxy S8 there have been rumors of an in-display fingerprint reader. Samsung might finally make the jump next year with the Galaxy S10, but it's not as simple as that. There will be three S10 models and two different fingerprint readers, claim industry insiders. Samsung has reportedly partnered with Qualcomm to use ultrasonic readers in the two higher-end S10 models while the third model will use an in-house optical reader (the type used in current phones). An ultrasonic reader is about 3 times more expensive than an optical one. However, it captures a 3D image of... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2LA4Akw via IFTTT

Pink Oppo F9 surfaces on TENAA

Image
Oppo F9 arrived on the global market earlier this month, but it can be also found as Oppo F9 Pro in several countries. The phone was initially launched in three colors - Sunrise Red, Twilight Blue, and Starry Purple, but according to a TENAA listing, a variant in Pink is also on its way. The phone does not have a diamond-type pattern on the bottom part, meaning the Pink bottom part might transition to the white top side with a starry pattern seen in the Purple Oppo F9. The listing also includes the specs of the phone, which seem to be the same - 6.3" Full HD+ tall screen, Helio P60... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Lu94Jn via IFTTT

Xiaomi launches the Pocophone F1 globally

Xiaomi launched its Pocophone sub-brand by unveiling the Pocophone F1 for India and today the brand is going global. At the time of writing, Xiaomi is holding simultaneous events in Paris, Jakarta and Hong Kong, detailing the Pocophone F1's availability. In France (with other European markets likely to follow) the Pocophone F1 will start at €330 for a 6GB+64GB configuration. The 6GB+128GB model will cost €370. Sales will open in September. In Spain, the Pocophone F1 will be up for sale on 30 August starting at €300 for the 6GB+64GB model.

Archos Access 57 is an €80 Android Go Edition phone with a 5.7" screen

Image
Archos unveiled its first Android Oreo Go Edition phone and it's a big one - the Archos Access 57 packs a 5.7" screen. It will be available in October at the low price of €80 (that's just under $95). As you can imagine given the price, the specs are fairly modest. We start with the screen - it has 480 x 960px resolution. Far from the sharpest, but at least it offers a modern 18:9 aspect ratio. The phone is powered by a Spreadtrum SC9832E chipset with a quad-core processor (1.4GHz) and 1GB of RAM. The storage will depend on the connectivity.

Huawei Mate 20 Lite seems official now, goes on sale in Poland and Germany

The Huawei Mate 20 Lite hasn't been made official just yet, but that hasn't stopped it from going on pre-order. You can order the device in Poland and Germany with supposed shipping starting September 9. The German listing is more suspect. The Mate 20 Lite's price is €435 but there is no shipping date nor even a photo of the device. In Poland the Mate 20 Lite is priced at PLN 1,600 (€370) and comes with a complimentary Huawei AH100 smart scale. The phone comes in either Blue or Black and is the Dual SIM model.

Four Sony Xperia XZ3 color options leak before announcement

Sony brings out some unconventional hues, which makes its phones stand out. The upcoming Sony Xperia XZ3 already leaked in Silver and Black, now the whole color palette has surfaced. The two options that stand out are the Purple and the Green. The latter seems very similar to the Deep Green color of the XZ2, but the purple one is unusual. Sony typically offers Copper or Pink, but not this time. As for the design, Sony is going for a tall curved display with no notch - 5.7" 18:9, say the rumors.

Thanks to latest CAD-based renders, we know the screen diagonal and the overall device size. We also get to see the phone with the infamous notch, sneakily hidden in the press renders from last week.

Francis, speaking to reporters on the plane returning from a trip to Dublin, said dismissively that a statement containing the accusations "speaks for itself". In a detailed 11-page bombshell statement given to conservative Roman Catholic media outlets during the pope's visit to Ireland, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano accused a long list of current and past Vatican and U.S. Church officials of covering up the case of Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, who resigned last month in disgrace.

David Katz: Jacksonville gunman was an eSports champion who 'kept to himself'

Image
David Katz, the suspect in the Jacksonville mass shooting, was reportedly introduced at the video game tournament as a "man of business" who "keeps to himself". The former eSports champion had travelled from Baltimore to Florida intent on taking part in the regional qualifier of the Madden 19 American football tournament, hoping to make it through to the finals in Las Vegas. Instead the 24-year-old was eliminated, according to witnesses, who say he later returned with a handgun and opened fire.  The outbreak of shooting was captured on a live stream of the event, with several gunshots heard in the disturbing footage before the feed was disconnected. Just before the shots were heard, a red laser dot appeared on the chest of one of the players, who was wearing white headphones and a red sweatshirt.  Three people, including Katz, were left dead while at least 11 others were shot and wounded in the shooting, which took place at the Chicago Pizza in the Jacksonville ...

Grandmother pulls out two pythons hiding in barbecue like it's no big deal

Snakes. Scary, right? Not so frightened of these creatures was 81-year-old Australian grandmother Faye Morgan, who casually pulled out not one, but two pythons hiding in the barbecue of a Queensland home on Sunday morning. SEE ALSO: At 99 million years old, this baby snake fossil is the first of its kind to be discovered While the rest of us would likely freak out, Morgan didn't flinch one bit as she hauled the snakes from the grill into an awaiting plastic container. "I live for the drama," Morgan says in the video. "Two of them!"  According to 7 News, Morgan had spent her whole life on a farm, and so the reptiles didn't really faze her. She had also pulled one from the same spot 18 months earlier, so it's certainly no one-off.  While snakes aren't so commonly found in the colder months because they're in a state of semi-hibernation, they'll occasionally wander out if the temperature outside is warm enough.

US strike 'kills Islamic State commander in Afghanistan'

 A US strike over the weekend killed a senior Islamic State commander in eastern Afghanistan, Afghan and US officials said Monday. The strike in Nangarhar province killed Abu Sayeed Orakzai, a senior leader in the extremist group, according to Shah Hussain Martazawi, deputy spokesman for the Afghan presidency. He said the operation showed the government's "determination to fight terrorism." Lt Col Martin O'Donnell, a spokesman for US forces in Afghanistan, said American forces launched a counterterrorism strike in eastern Afghanistan on Saturday that targeted a "senior leader of a designated terrorist organization." He did not provide further details. "These efforts target the real enemies of Afghanistan, the same enemies who threaten America," he said.
