Oreo roll out for T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy Note8 put on hold

Image
T-Mobile has updated its Galaxy Note8 software update page to reflect that the Oreo update roll out for the device has been put on hold. The status field for the Oreo update entry now says the update was first available on April 1, but was paused on "April 3, and is temporarily unavailable." So far, the magenta carrier hasn't offered any reason for move, and sadly, there's also no information on when the roll out would resume. It's been three weeks since the update was paused, so that's already a good amount of time the company has taken. Here's hoping T-Mobile fixes the problem... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2HmHYGN via IFTTT

Samsung Galaxy A6+ leaks in blue and gold renders

Image
Just several hours ago, we saw some leaked renders of Samusng's official cases for the Galaxy A6 and Galaxy A6+. Hours after our post went live, some new renders appeared without the case covering the phone. Rather than updating that post, we figured these renders deserved their own post. Now that the case is off, we have a closer look at the final design of the Galaxy A6+. For starters, the phone will have a metal unibody design with a speckly matte finish and some interesting looking bumpers. These bumpers are accented with some translucent antenna-lines. We already saw the phone's... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2I06w5H via IFTTT

LG G7 renders leak ahead of press event

Image
We are expecting the LG G7 ThinQ to launch next week and in usual timing, @evleaks has released leaked press renders of the upcoming smartphone device from several angles. This is the first time we get a close look at the LG G7 ThinQ so let's recap what we see here. This render is for the silver/gray color option and the front bezel of the device is black, as we'd expect all color options to have. The front of the device has the controversial display notch which houses the front camera, in-call speaker, as well as light and proximity sensors. The lower bezel is a bit larger, in typical... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2HXqayQ via IFTTT

PayPal begins rollout of Samsung Pay support

Image
PayPal first announced that it will support Samsung Pay Wallets back in July of last year. It has been nearly a year and PayPal is finally rolling out the new feature. You will finally be able to use payment methods from your PayPal account to make Samsung Pay purchases, all while still earning Samsung Pay Rewards in the process. Google Pay (formerly Android Pay) already supports PayPal, but those with Samsung devices know that Samsung Pay is a more flexible option since it uses both NFC and MST, the latter of which is able to simulate a magnetic strip for store locations that are... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2JjJqq0 via IFTTT

Huawei P20 lite's price in India leaks

Image
In less than 24 hours, Huawei will officially announce the P20 Pro and P20 lite for the Indian market. And if you've been impatiently waiting to find out how much the lite model will cost in the subcontinent, this is for you. According to a last-minute leak from Amazon's arm in the country, you will have to pay INR 19,999 for a P20 lite in India. That's not a bad price at all. At the current exchange rates, it translates into $300 or €245. For comparison's sake, note that the same handset has a recommended retail price in the EU of €369. So if this pans out, if you purchase a P20... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2qQiAy2 via IFTTT

The EU is investigating Apple's planned purchase of Shazam

Image
Last December Apple announced its intention to buy Shazam, the well known music recognition service. It would complement Apple Music nicely in the company's portfolio, but the deal has just hit a wrinkle. The EU has launched an extensive antitrust probe into the proposed takeover, which has a deadline of September 4. Until then, the EU will investigate whether Apple could use Shazam's data to lure people to its own music streaming service and turn them away from competitors. It's alleged that Apple could get unfair access to commercially sensitive information about users of rival music... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2HOunr0 via IFTTT

Amazon India lists OnePlus 6 as coming soon

Image
The OnePlus brand store on Amazon India has listed the OnePlus 6 as coming soon with an option to sign up for updates. No real information is revealed through the listing outside the fact that Amazon India touts the 6 as its own exclusive. Though we still expect OnePlus to sell its latest flagship on its official retail store. OnePlus also added a promo video focused on The Speed You Need as a new angle for the OnePlus 6. There's no official (nor unofficial, for that matter) word on the OnePlus 6' eventual unveiling but we have strong evidence that it will carry a 6.28-inch... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2JknnQ2 via IFTTT

Leaked case renders show the Galaxy A6 duo will have S9-like design

Image
Case renders for the Samsung Galaxy A6 (2018) and Galaxy A6+ (2018) have surfaced and - surprise! - the Plus model has a dual camera. Well, not that much of a surprise, the speculative CAD-based renders showed the same, but these are reportedly Samsung-made renders to show off the cases. They cases do not conceal much of the design, which is clearly lifted from the Galaxy S9 flagships. This includes the Infinity Display (even if the top and bottom bezels are thicker), the fingerprint reader below the camera, even the 3.5 mm headphone jack at the bottom. We can't find the loudspeaker,... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2HKVjIe via IFTTT
