The early reviews of the Apple iPad Pro 11 and iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) are out, but they are a little reluctant to render a final verdict. The tablets (the big one especially with 1TB of storage) can cost a ton of money and they feature several fundamental changes, so more time is needed for definitive conclusions. Here are some of the early impressions that agree on some points, though not all. The new Pencil and keyboard, the USB-C port and the new chipset are almost universally praised, but Apple's new tablet still falls short of perfection in some cases. Engadget points out that USB-C... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2PcIgEa via IFTTT

The Oppo R17 Pro will land in Europe tomorrow and it's arriving under a new name - Oppo RX17 Pro. The event will take place in Milan, Italy, and we will be attending it live but there's also going to be a live stream so you can watch at home too. Not that we expect any surprises in the spec sheet. This follows the introduction of the Oppo RX17 Neo, which is currently available for pre-order in Europe. Note that the Neo isn't equivalent to the vanilla R17, but instead is closer to the RX15 and K1 (this model also launched in Japan). Unlike the Neo, the Oppo RX17 Pro should be a... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2qvvP7m via IFTTT

HTC financial results find a new bottom every new quarter, but the company is not giving up and keeps pushing new phones. We saw the U12 Life midranger at IFA in Berlin and it looks like we might see even more affordable smartphone. A device with the model number HTC 2Q72XXX was just approved on Bluetooth SIG website, revealing a Snapdragon 435 chipset. The Qualcomm SoC dates back to February 2016 when it was introduced along two other chipsets. The 435 is built on the even older 28 nm process with eight Cortex-A53 cores, clocked at up to 1.4 GHz. There is an Adreno 505 GPU and a... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2P8XrxW via IFTTT

Asus introduced the Zenfone 5z at MWC 2018 with a Snapdragon 845 chipset and an impressively low price tag of $340 in India. The appearance of the phone was nothing out of the ordinary for a 2018 flagship - dual camera, fancy colors, up to 256 GB RAM, and a wide notch on the display. Later the notch shrank to a waterdrop cutout, as seen in Oppo and Huawei smartphones, and it looks like it will also appear on the Asus Zenfone 6. But here's the catch - the new device will have the notch on the right side and not on the center, according to early prototype units. At first you think the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2F2mK0b via IFTTT

Earlier this year Samsung announced on its Members app that some 2016 devices, launched on Marshmallow, are getting Android Oreo. One of the phones due for early November was the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime and according to a tip in our mailbox, the new OS is already hitting devices. Thanks for the screenshots, anonymous tipster! The screenshots from our anonymous tipster reveal the new update is 1040 MB, which might be tricky for owners of devices with 16 GB storage. It brings Samsung Experience 9.5 with plenty of UI and safety improvements in the Home Screen, Smart View,... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Pa5VFk via IFTTT

OnePlus 6T was unveiled last week only in two variants of Black, but today the device is introduced in a new shade at the China launch party. The new variant is called Thunder Purple OnePlus 6T, already known from official promo images we reported earlier today. The new phone is different from the original only by its appearance - otherwise hardware wise, it's the same device head to toe. It's powered by a Snapdragon 845, it has a bigger screen and an under-display fingerprint scanner, it's got 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage, and a bigger battery. The device also comes with dual... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2SMxSkz via IFTTT

Samsung Mobile has updated its profile image on Facebook with a teaser for its upcoming foldable phone. The Samsung Developer Conference (SDC) starts this Wednesday, so we additional info may surface later this week. We have only rumors to go on for now. They describe the Samsung Galaxy F as having two screens - an internal one with a 7.3" diagonal and a 4.6" external screen. So, it will be like a flip phone, the large internal screen will be protected while the phone is closed. Compare that to the design of the FlexPai, which has one screen that remains on the outside. The phone... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2ALTK8y via IFTTT

Huawei introduced all its flagships for 2018 and now we're onto their successors. One of the more exciting phones was the Honor View 10, and it looks like the follow-up View 20 is on its way. A phone with model number VCE-AL00 and VCE-TL00 received the needed certificate by the 3C agency, coming one step closer to a launch. We think this is precisely the Honor View 20, likely launched in China as V20, since the timeline matches its predecessor View 10 that arrived mid-November in China, followed by an early December global launch. Honor View 10 Although it is way too... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2AL2fRs via IFTTT

"At Osu Castle on Saturday, it was especially important to me – as indeed it was on my first visit there forty-one years ago – that I should acknowledge the most painful chapter of Ghana’s relations with the nations of Europe, including the United Kingdom," Charles said. "The appalling atrocity of the slave trade, and the unimaginable suffering it caused, left an indelible stain on the history of our world." Britain abolished the trans-Atlantic slave trade in 1807 although the full abolition of slavery did not follow for another generation. Two days ago the prince visited Christiansborg Castle in Osu which originally operated as a Danish slave trade fort and from where it is estimated more than 1.5 million Africans were traded. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2F1FkFt via Latest News
