New update starts hitting Nokia 2

Image
A new update has started rolling out to the Nokia 2 smartphone. Currently hitting units in India, it's a security update that brings along Android patch for the month of April. There's currently no information on what other major changes (if any) are included in the update. Most other Nokia-branded smartphones from HMD have already received the April update, so it's good that the Nokia 2 has finally started getting it as well. Over the air roll outs usually happen in phases, so be patient if the notification hasn't popped up on your unit yet. Via from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2qMTq3o via IFTTT

LG V40 is codenamed Storm. pic.twitter.com/fNqLUdNzsP— Evan Blass (@evleaks) April 20, 2018 Sadly, @evleaks didn't reveal anything else about the device, including its pricing and availability information. For now, what's confirmed is that the LG G7 ThinQ will be made official on May 3. Plus, a V35 ThinQ is also said to be coming.

Deal: Sony Xperia XZ Premium drops to $524.99, $275 less than its initial price

Image
Sony took the wraps off its Xperia XZ2 Premium this week, and that means its predecessor is getting cheaper. The XZ Premium from last year can now be purchased for just $524.99. That's a whopping $275 less than the phone's initial price in the US, namely $799.99. The XZ Premium got its first price cut after only two months of availability, but even if you count from that $699.99 level, you're still getting $175 off with this deal. Previously, we've seen the XZ Premium going for $585 and $550, but never as low as $524.99. If you want a handset with a 4K screen and don't mind the huge... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Jb8fnI via IFTTT

Microsoft finally runs out of Windows Phones

Image
Last year Microsoft finally confirmed that Windows Phone is dead, but even after that point it still sold some such devices through its official online store. Not anymore, though. Today there are zero Windows Phones in stock at the Microsoft Store, and we assume the company isn't going to replenish those stocks. So it's yet another good opportunity to bid farewell to Microsoft's Windows Phone experiment, now that you can't even purchase the HP Elite x3 for $299, alcatel Idol 4s for $99.99, or the Idol 4s with VR goggles in a bundle for $169. We assume it took this long for the stocks to... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2HCQ1hU via IFTTT

Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ get April security update in Europe, improved stability

Image
Samsung is now rolling out a new update (based on Android Oreo) for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ in Europe. Specifically, people in Germany have received it already. It's a 570MB download that will install software version G950FXXU1CRD7 for the S8, and G955FXXU1CRD7 for the S8+. This brings with it the April security patches, both the batch that Google released, as well as Samsung's own fixes for its software. Additionally, the new release packs stability improvements for the camera, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. So if you've been having reliability issues with any of those, don't postpone applying... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2HeE2Ib via IFTTT

Moto E5 Plus and E5 hands-on review

Image
Motorola made its big media day mostly about its best-seller Moto G-series, focusing on the ever more flagship-looking Moto G6 Plus, Moto G6 Play and plain Moto G6. But the E5 and the E5 Plus, which were also announced today are too well-rounded to be ignored. from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2HeFyWJ via IFTTT

Moto Z Play receives Android 8.0 Oreo update in India

Image
Motorola has started sending out the update to Android 8.0 Oreo for the Moto Z Play in India. It comes as a 1.12GB download, so if your data plan is limited make sure to grab it via Wi-Fi. After installation, your Moto Z Play will be on software version OPN27.76-12-22, with the April 1, 2018 security patch level. The latter is a nice surprise given how appallingly mid-rangers are usually treated when it comes to security fixes. That said, the Moto Z Play is unlikely to receive another update for some time (or ever), so hopefully no huge vulnerabilities will be fixed by forthcoming monthly... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2HAeuEs via IFTTT

Sony 3D Creator update for Xperia XZ Premium, XZ1, and XZ1 Compact brings 3D selfies

Image
Today Sony has issued an update to its 3D Creator app for the Xperia XZ Premium, XZ1, and XZ1 Compact. Once you install it, you'll get access to the features announced at MWC alongside the XZ2 and XZ2 Compact. You will be able to capture "super-fast" 3D selfies and then share them directly to Facebook or even 3D print them. Additionally, 3D Creator output is now more detailed and has more definition, thanks to the post-scan cloud processing rendering your 3D scans in 4K textures. That should make for greater realism, apparently. 3D Creator lets you capture anything, from food to... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2vwa7FS via IFTTT

ZTE Nubia Z18 mini first sale is done, next one is on April 25

Image
The ZTE Nubia Z18 mini was announced earlier this month and as promised it went on sale in China today. Price-wise, the 6GB+64B model costs CNY 1,799 (around €230), the 6GB+128GB one is CNY 2,099 (around €270) and the purple Provence Edition costs CNY 2,199 (just about €280). But there are limited available units, so ZTE has resorted to flash sales. The first one was today, and the next one is on April 25. You can sign up for the next flash sale on ZTE's Nubia website (source link below). It would be interesting to see how many units ZTE has sold today. But as of now, the maker... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2HybJ6R via IFTTT

Here are the European prices for the Moto G6 and E5 families

Motorola just announced the new Moto G and Moto E series smartphones and we already have some information for consumers in Europe. Dutch retailer Belsimpel has all the new phones listed (save for the Moto E5 Play which is US only) complete with prices and availability info. Starting with the Moto G6, it's the only phone on pre-order with no set date for availability. If the availability of the other models is anything to go by, the Moto G6 will be available sometime after the end of May.

Moto E5 Plus has a 5,000 mAh battery, is joined by the Moto E5 and E5 Play

Image
Motorola unveiled three affordable E-series phones, which in many ways mirror the new G6 trio. All three phones will launch "in the coming months" with Android 8.0 Oreo and even the most affordable model has a fingerprint reader hidden in the Motorola logo along with water-repellent coating. Also, the selfie cameras have LED flashes and your photos can be stored at full resolution at Google Photos for free. But don't think of these as the junior team, we think this first one might actually be a better phone than the Moto G6 Play (and at a lower cost to boot).

Moto G6, G6 Plus, and G6 Play hands-on review

Motorola hasn't exactly enjoyed a smooth ride on the smartphone scene, over the past few years. Still, amid all the profit turmoil, ownership changes and shifting branding strategies, the legendary Moto G family of devices managed to survive. In fact, it did one better, managing to remain pretty consistent in its high-value features and affordable pricing strategy. from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2qPzzkf via IFTTT
