Sony's latest high-end Android smartphone is the Xperia XZ3, officially introduced at IFA last week. The model announced there comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage, but things will be different in one particular market. We're talking about Taiwan. Sony's official Taiwanese spec page for the XZ3 clearly states it has 6GB of RAM, confirming various reports from local media. For now it's unclear if this 6GB version of the XZ3 is headed anywhere else. Also a mystery is why the company didn't mention the two separate memory tiers at the phone's unveiling. That said, this... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2NNdpsS via IFTTT

The Galaxy Note9 ships with Samsung's Bixby 2.0, and this newest version of the virtual assistant doesn't let you fully disable the very controversial Bixby button that sits on the left side of the device underneath the volume keys. That may however change, and pretty soon - by the end of this month, in fact. Through a Twitter exchange between a concerned Note9 user and Samsung's arm in Germany we find out that the company is apparently preparing a software update that will let you fully disable the Bixby key. This is said to be released (at least in Germany) by the end of September. If... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2NKhSg4 via IFTTT

At 2 PM today, on September 4, the Honor 7s will officially make its debut in India. This smartphone from Huawei's sub-brand was first released in Pakistan back in May. In the meantime we've also seen it in the UK. It's an entry-level smartphone so it's expected to be very cheap in India, like it is in the other markets where it's available. Rumor has it that you'll need to pay INR 8,399 for a unit (that's about $117 or €101). The Honor 7s has a 5.45-inch 720x1440 18:9 touchscreen, a 13 MP rear camera, a 5 MP selfie snapper, and a 3,020 mAh battery. It runs Android 8.1 Oreo with... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2NKL3iS via IFTTT

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 chipset powers pretty much every flagship Android device that isn't made by Huawei or Samsung this year, but it is pretty old at this point, launching on the Galaxy S9 this spring. Its successor, tentatively called Snapdragon 855, may have just been benchmarked inside a development board. The Geekbench listing doesn't give us the chipset's name, only its codename - "msmnile". It was paired with 6GB of RAM on the test device, which ran Android 9 Pie. Its multi-core result of 10,469 matches what Apple's A11 Bionic SoC usually manages to accomplish.

After Honor teased the Magic 2 with a pop-up camera, Xiaomi's co-founder was quick to reveal that the Mi Mix 3 will have a similar design, both taking after the Oppo Find X. That may not be the whole story, however. A short video that shows a Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 being handled reveals that the mechanism is manual. It appears to be a slider design with the bottom "half" sliding up to reveal the earpiece, selfie camera and other gadgetry. That's not how the Find X camera works, that one is motorized. But this could be the more reliable design in the long run. Of course, we're still not... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Q3EDgi via IFTTT

It's no secret that Samsung's mid-range devices don't get a ton of love when it comes to after-sales support. The Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) may break that mold by becoming the first of the J-series to get not one but two major OS updates after its release. The phone originally launched with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, was later updated to 7.0 Nougat and should get 8.0 Oreo in December. This is months earlier than early information suggested.

The phone is in front of what appears to be a 5G testing station, "NR5G" refers to to the 5G New Radio standard, which encompass the sub-6GHz and mmWave technologies.

Razer's financial report for the first half of 2018 attributes $16.5 million in revenue to the Razer Phone. That's apparently enough to start development on the sequel.

Razer has optimization software (Cortex), 7.1 channel surround sound virtualization and, of course, a couple of apps to tune its RGB-laden accessories.

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday pledged $60 billion in financing for projects in Africa in the form of assistance, investment and loans, as China furthers efforts to link the continent's economic prospects to its own. Speaking to a gathering of African leaders in Beijing, Mr Xi said the figure includes $15 billion in grants, interest-free loans and concessional loans, $20 billion in credit lines, $10 billion for "development financing" and $5 billion to buy imports from Africa. In addition, he said China will encourage companies to invest at least $10 billion in Africa over the next three years. China's outreach to Africa aims to build trade, investment and political ties with a continent often seen as overlooked by the US and other Western nations. That has provided lucrative opportunities for Chinese businesses, while African nations are often happy to accept China's offers that come without demands for safeguards against corruption, waste and environment

A weekly show glorifying Vladimir Putin's political acumen, physical fitness and love of children has made its debut on Russian state television, raising concerns of a Stalinesque “personality cult”. The hour-long show, titled “Moscow. Kremlin. Putin.,” comes after the president's popularity took a hit over an widely loathed plan to raise the pension age. Hosted by Vladimir Soloviev, a TV and radio personality who previously authored documentary films and books about Mr Putin, the first broadcast began with footage of the leader hiking on a holiday in Siberia, meeting with schoolchildren and paying respects to a well-known singer who died last week. “Putin doesn't just love children, he loves people. He's a very humane human,” the Kremlin spokesman told Mr Soloviev, echoing a famous quote calling Vladimir Lenin the “most humane human”. The programme also showed Mr Putin meeting with talented schoolchildren, but did not mention that one of them was wearing a t-shirt with
