Which led phone makers to attempt to bring 3D to your pocket. In 2011 both LG and HTC unveiled 3D phones - the Optimus 3D and EVO 3D (Sharp made one too). Not only did they have screens with autostereoscopic 3D (i.e. you don't need special glasses like you do in the cinema), they also had 3D cameras to shoot your own 3D photos and videos. That was the first time a smartphone had a dual camera setup. And it... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2IOzHfC via IFTTT

Even so, the poll results indicate that OnePlus has still managed to strike a... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2KY74co via IFTTT

Well, the latest report claims that Apple is going to right its wrongs by giving the NFC a bit broader functionality. The first step was made when Apple introduced the so-called CoreNFC framework with iOS 11 that allowed third-party apps to access the NFC chip but it is still very limiting. For instance, the apps don't have write access and the API... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2xdQx22 via IFTTT
