Weekly poll results: Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is adored by fans

Image
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is nearly universally adored - with an 87% positive vote in last week's poll, the phone is shaping up to be one of the more influential flagships of the second half of 2018. With the holiday season fast approaching - 11.11 is next week, Christmas shopping is a month and a half away - the latest edition to the Mix series will surely help Xiaomi bolster its sales numbers. The company moved 100 million phones in 10 months, achieving the goal it set for itself for this year.

T-Mobile offers an option to unlock the OnePlus 6T and the bloatware is limited

Image
The OnePlus 6T is the first OnePlus device to penetrate the US market through carriers and the T-Mobile is the first one to offer it. But just like every other Android device sold by the US carriers, there are some restrictions that you need to keep in mind. For starters, the carrier will only be offering the OnePlus 6T in Mirror Black variant featuring 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage for $579 or $24.17 in monthly payments, respectively. If you don't need the extra RAM or the storage falls short, you will have to get it from OnePlus' official web store. But not all is bad as... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2QhSRKn via IFTTT

Huawei Finland will replace Mate 20 Pro handsest with faulty screens

Image
Unless you've been offline the last few days, chances are you've come across the Huawei Mate 20 Pro green-ish screens debacle. And for now, the only semi-official statement on the matter comes from Huawei's UK community forum manager. But today, Huawei Finland's Director of Marketing and Communications spoke of the issue. We are investigating for a long time why a small part of phones have been green in some countries. In Finland, consumers get a new phone without charge if they have a faulty display. So it seems that Huawei Finland is taking responsibility and will accept devices with... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2AJfIZS via IFTTT

Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL now have official TWRP support

Image
Ever since the glory days of the Nexus line, Google's own reference devices have been a favourite for third-party OS tinkerers and developers. The reasons behind this favouritism are pretty self-explanatory, seeing how Google's Nexus and now the Pixel phones run pure AOSP and get regular kernel code releases out to the wide developer public. The process of tinkering and tweaking ROMs is not an easy one and a custom recovery plays a vital part in the process. Hence, it comes as no surprise that TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) - probably the most popular custom Android recovery out there... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2CZUnwQ via IFTTT

Yet another set of Oppo A7 renders spotted online

Image
The Oppo A7 is one of those upcoming devices that seem to love to linger in the rumor mill purely on principle, up to the very last hour before release. We already know its full specs sheet and that it is mostly a re-packaged Oppo Realme 2, complete with a smaller "tear drop" style notch. Another significant visual difference between the Realme 2 and the upcoming Oppo A7 appears to be the finish on the body. While the former has a pretty distinct geometrical pattern design, available in Diamond Black, Diamond Red, Diamond Blue colors, we had only seen the latter appear in a shade... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2yPcHWJ via IFTTT

A new source confirms the Qualcomm UD fingerprint reader for the Galaxy S10

Image
One of the highlights from yesterday was the report that Samsung would use Qualcomm's third-generation ultra-sonic fingerprint reader on its Galaxy S10 flagships and ditch the iris scanner. A second confirmation now arises coming from the famous leakster Ice Universe. It's also speculated that the new fingerprint reader and screen tech are going to be Samsung exclusives for at least half a year in 2019.
