Both of these models are planned to roll out in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Last year, LG announced its K10 (2017) at CES. However, this year's it didn't happen at CES 2018. The decision to announce it at MWC is one that makes more sense considering that the US isn't a major market for LG's midrange smartphones. LG says its K10 smartphones will have quicker focus speeds thanks to Phase-detection autofocus, and improved noise reduction in... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2EJ7jcG via IFTTT

Snapchat has announced that it was partnering with Giphy to provide clippable GIFs to adorn the Snaps that users send to friends or post to public Stories. This happened not too long after Snapchat came under heavy criticism for its new confusing interface after a recent update. Interestingly, Instagram was first one to offer insertable GIFs into Instragram Direct messages and Instagram Stories. What makes it even more interesting is that Giphy will provide these GIFs for Snaps, which is exactly the same provider for Instagram's Stories' GIFs. This move just screams "me too".

But the startup is still supporting its first smartphone, even though it decided against releasing a 'stable' Android 8.0 Oreo update for it. The company is now working on Android 8.1, of which a first beta became available for eager testers exactly one week ago. And starting today there's a much easier way than before to get it. Up until now, if you wanted a taste of the Essential Oreo update, you had to manually sideload it to your phone.

It's been a while since Samsung launched a high-end tablet, but the wait could be almost over. A couple of days ago an upcoming slate from the Korean company was spotted in a benchmark and based on its model number it's assumed to be the Galaxy Tab S4.

That's a bit odd considering that the Galaxy Tab S3 from last year used the 4:3 aspect ratio. It looks like Samsung decided it was time for a change.
