Sony Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Plus in for review

Image
Sony introduced the Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Plus at MWC 2019. The new midrangers are descendants of the Xperia XA series and are commemorating ten years since the whole Xperia smartphone lineup was started. The two phones are now in our hands, and we've already started putting them through all our extensive tests. The Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Plus look similar with their super long screens, or CinemaWide as Sony refers to the 21:9 panels. Even if the phones are tall and feel unusual in hand, they are reasonably easy to handle. The Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Plus are thin and relatively... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2HnBXbv via IFTTT

Oppo F11 Pro in for review

Image
Oppo recently announced two smartphones with availability originating in India. The F11 and F11 Pro were heavily teased prior to their launch event. Today, we have the F11 Pro in-house for our thorough round of review testing. The F11 and F11 Pro are both very similar, but the only difference is that the Pro has a pop-up mechanism for the selfie camera while the F11 has a water-drop notch instead. We're reviewing the more interesting of the two. There's a large 6.53" IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080x2340 px and the pop-up selfie camera houses a 16MP sensor with f/2.0... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2UtngHE via IFTTT

Samsung to offer an official leather case for the Galaxy Fold

Image
Foldable phones raise a lot of questions, chief among them being how do you protect one. You obviously can't install a tempered glass protector on a foldable phone but you might be able to put it in a case. When it comes to the Samsung Galaxy Fold we've seen early renders of Spigen cases and now we learn Samsung will make its own leather case for the Galaxy Fold. It's not clear what a Samsung-made leather case for the Galaxy Fold will look like (image below is just our mockup) but it makes sense to use a flexible material such as leather.

Nokia will cut fewer jobs than expected in Finland

Image
Earlier this year Nokia announced plans to cut 1,330 jobs in Europe in a bid to save €700 million until 2020. Nokia's operations in Finland were set to lose 350 employees, however after some negotiations that number was reduced to 280. Nokia currently employs some 6,300 people in its home country. The company also plans to lay off around 530 workers in Germany (where it employs 3,500) and 460 in France (out of 4,000).

Motorola Razr foldable smartphone's features revealed

You've probably heard about Motorola's plans to resurrect the Razr brand by giving it a more 2019 vibe - a flexible display. Essentially, it's going to be a flip phone with a high-tech twist. We've seen some schematics of what it might look like and now we have more details about the software features. The guys over at XDA Developers have obtained info on some of the features and were kind enough to share them with the rest of us. For starters, the second display placed on the back.

If for some reason the vivo Y91 seemed expensive, the newly released Y91i offers mostly the same specs but at a slightly lower price. The naming is a bit of a mess though - the Indian Y91i is actually the phone known as the Y91C in Pakistan. Yet this new Y91i is different from the vivo Y91i sold in markets such as Malaysia and Thailand. The phone features the same 6.22" HD+ display with a waterdrop notch like the Y91.

US general warns of IS resurgence as 'caliphate' nears collapse

A top US commander warned Thursday that the battle against the Islamic State group was "far from over" despite the jihadists' loss of territory, as survivors abandoned the last shred of the group's collapsing "caliphate" in eastern Syria. A fierce assault by US-backed forces has sparked an exodus of dust-covered children, veiled women dragging suitcases and dishevelled men, many of them wounded, from the village of Baghouz where besieged IS fighters are making a last stand. The Syrian Democratic Forces are waiting for more survivors to leave before dealing what they hope will be a final blow to jihadists holed up in a makeshift camp along the banks of the Euphrates. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2EVtlHq via Latest News

Elizabeth Warren Imagines Big Tech After the Breakup

Don't expect details from Mueller probe: senior U.S. Republican

If Representative Doug Collins is right, Democratic-led congressional committees that have launched their own probes of Trump may be stuck with a Mueller investigation report that serves more as a general guidebook than a detailed roadmap of Russian interference and any Trump campaign collusion. Democrats, who control the House of Representatives, want congressional investigators to have access to Mueller's grand jury evidence and other information from the probe, fearing that Attorney General William Barr could release only a summary of Mueller's report.

SpaceX splashes down in the Atlantic Ocean, completes historic crew capsule mission

Image
The Dragon has returned to Earth.  SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule parachuted down to the Atlantic Ocean Friday morning, successfully capping the first test of a commercial spacecraft that will likely bring astronauts to the International Space Station — possibly in the next year.  The Crew Dragon capsule gently splashed down off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida at 8:45 a.m. ET after spending five days docked to the space station. The demonstration mission — which carried no humans but a dummy covered in sensors — is the first of at least one more test that NASA will use to determine if the Dragon capsule passes the space agency's rigid safety standards.  But it's a big first step.  After the capsule reached the space station last Sunday morning, NASA astronaut Anne McClain recognized the event on a live webcast: "We knew how significant it was and how important it was, really for the whole history of spaceflight. I've said it before: It is a new era," said M...
