Yesterday Huawei teased its own iteration of the Infinity-O screens that Samsung is planning to implement in 2019 - a selfie camera, tucked into a cutout of the screen. Today an image of a similar device popped up in one person's hands in a subway carriage in China. Looking further into the image, we can see the camera lens is positioned in the upper left corner where the notifications appear. There aren't any notches on the screen, but the pre-production body could be hiding some of them.

For a while this Monday, Microsoft surpassed Apple as the most valuable United States-based company. The software company hit a valuation point of $813 billion today, which was just $1 billion ahead of Apple. Considering that not long ago Apple (and Amazon not too long after) broke $1 trillion valuation, it has come a long way down since then, due in part to Apple's latest (and most expensive) smartphones (XR, XS, XS Max) not selling as well as anticipated. It isn't to say that Microsoft hasn't faced any challenges lately, but Apple has been just been barely able to get by with... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Aqu14p via IFTTT

What's more, past rumors said this might be the first smartphone to be powered by the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8150 chipset. The Z5s, model number L78071, has already been certified by TENAA, 3C, and MIIT in China, so its release may only be a matter of weeks now.

It's not clear if any of these are gradient colors or not. The naming will change as well, moving to with double-digit numbers - so SM-M205F will be Galaxy M20 not M2.

According to an unconfirmed industry report, Samsung could turn to Chinese display maker BOE to produce the Infinity-O panel for the upcoming Galaxy A8s.

BOE is currently tasked with making the 6.39-inch OLED display on the Huawei Mate 20 Pro.

Indian police abandoned an attempt to recover the remains of the American missionary killed by Andaman Islanders on Sunday after they were faced down by tribesmen armed with bows and arrows. A marine unit had a long-distance standoff with the natives as their boat neared North Sentinel Island on Saturday, as they tried to find the body of John Allen Chau. Officers spotted the islanders around 400 metres from the shore and saw the men were armed and seemingly ready to fight. "They stared at us and we were looking at them," said Director General of Police Dependra Pathak.

Indian police have been urged to abandon efforts to recover the body of an American missionary killed by an isolated tribe on a remote island, amid warnings any contact could have "catastrophic" consequences. Survival International, an NGO working for tribal rights, said the Sentinelese people could be wiped out if outside diseases were introduced onto the island. Any such mission would also pose extreme danger to Indian officials, the group said. John Allen Chau was killed by the people of North Sentinel earlier this month after paying fisherman to smuggle him to the island, where outsiders are forbidden from venturing under Indian law.  The fishermen later said they saw the Sentinelese bury his body on the beach.
