China blocks Micron sales amid U.S. trade tensions, chip battle

Image
TAIPEI/SHANGHAI (Reuters) - A Chinese court has temporarily barred Micron Technology Inc from selling its main semiconductor products in the world's biggest memory chip market, citing violation of patents held by Taiwan's United Microelectronics Corp (UMC). The ruling, which was disclosed by UMC and its state-backed Chinese partner, slammed shares of Idaho-based chipmaker Micron, which gets half of its revenue from China. The ban comes amid an escalating trade spat between Washington and Beijing that is spurring China to accelerate its goal of developing its own domestic chipmakers to curb the heavy reliance on U.S. firms like Micron and Qualcomm Inc. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2IRzbsn via Latest News

Samsung's foldable Galaxy X will have a curved battery, 3,000 mAh or larger

Image
Samsung's much-rumored Galaxy X foldable smartphone still isn't official, but that is probably going to change in 2019. The handset will employ foldable display panels, which will go into mass production this summer, if there aren't any issues. The screens will be ready for an early 2019 launch of the phone, but additional components need to be flexible too. Take, for example, the battery. This will be foldable too, according to a new report, and its capacity will be anywhere between 3,000 mAh and 6,000 mAh. We're obviously hoping for as high a number as possible, given the massive screen... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2tYIsJu via IFTTT

Deal: Pixel 2 XL for Verizon is $300, the Pixel 2 is $150 off

Image
Best Buy and Verizon love discounting the second-gen Pixel phones - the first discount came the day after they were announced! Today's deal is better than that one, but not quite as good as some in the past. The good news is that it includes the smaller Pixel 2, which often goes overlooked. Google Pixel 2 • Google Pixel 2 XL Still, the Pixel 2 XL gets the better treatment - it's effectively $300 off. We say "effectively" because the actual discount is to the monthly installments. You pay $22.91 for 24 months, that's about $12.50 down on the regular payments. The deal is valid for... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2lPiQLD via IFTTT

Samsung's Android Go smartphone might not be Android Go after all

Image
Some interesting photos of the upcoming Android Go-powered Samsung phone also known as Galaxy J2 Core have just surfaced. Interestingly enough these contradict almost everything we know about Android Go devices so it's either that the platform is taking in a new direction or we are seeing a different device here. The OEM is ditching the hardware navigation buttons and the phone pictured comes with an outdated security patch for Android 8.1 Oreo - December 2017. Nothing else could be concluded from the leaked images. There's no mention of the launch date either. Samsung's... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2lPSY29 via IFTTT

A new Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2018) could be coming to US carriers

Image
While we've been caught up in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 rumors another new slate by Samsung has received certification with the Wi-Fi alliance. The device carries the model name SM-T387, which sounds like a successor to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2017)'s T380 model number and suggests a refresh for 2018. It's possible that the device is getting a US release soon. If we go by usual Samsung practice then the SM-T387 model is likely an LTE model. So we can assume that the SM-T385V is headed to Verizon, SM-T387T is intended for T-Mobile, SM-T387A (and SM-T387VK) will be for AT&T and the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2lSNDHe via IFTTT

Oppo Find X teardown: similar pop-up mechanism to the vivo NEX

Image
The Oppo Find X plays up to Oppo's strengths - a motorized mechanism for the camera. It was cool on the N1 and it's even cooler here. Here's a better look at the pop-up action without the back cover getting in the way. But how does it work? It's similar to the NEX S and uses a linear actuator. You can see its motor in yellow and the guiding rails in red. In green are the ribbon cables that hook up the cameras, 3D face scanner and other components to the rest of the phone (there are a couple of coax cables too, so perhaps an antenna). Here's another look. The the screw turns the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2NjKDjI via IFTTT

Budget 6.1-inch iPhone envisioned next to iPhone X in high-quality renders

Image
Take a look at what could be a pretty close rendition of the entry level iPhone for 2018. The renders were made with the recent rumors and leaks in mind and show an iPhone with a 6.1-inch LCD, which is slightly larger than the iPhone X. Another differentiating factor is the single camera on the back and possibly the use of aluminium for the frame, instead of the stainless steel used in the iPhone X. The back of the 6.1-inch iPhone is said to be glass, like on all current iPhone models so it's an easy assumption that it will also have wireless charging.

Motorola One poses for a photo once again

Image
Okay, let's set the record straight. Motorola seems to be preparing more than one phone under the One series as per latest leaks. The first reports showed a metal body with notched display and fairly thin bezels, while recently another Motorola One device surfaced with strikingly similar design. The latter comes with glass back and slightly altered dual camera design compared to the One Power.

Galaxy Note9 colors revealed by S Pen versions, 8GB version benchmarked

Image
The Samsung Galaxy Note9 will debut a new color option - brown - but there are more changes compared to the Galaxy Note8 palette. The color options can be gleaned from a list of S Pen versions (their colors will, of course, match the main body of the phone). So here are the colors: PN960BBEGWW: black PN960BJEGWW: gray PN960BVEGWW: violet / purple PN960BLEGWW: blue PN960BAEGWW: brown If you remember, the Galaxy Note8's Orchid Gray color option was more of a violet hue, despite its name.

Snapdragon 845-powered vivo 1805 visits TENAA

Image
Currently there is only one vivo phone with a Snapdragon 845 chipset - the NEX S. There just might be a second phone on the way, though Geekbench 4 doesn't give enough details to tell for sure. A "vivo 1805" was benchmarked with Qualcomm's top chipset. It ran Android 8.1 and packed 8 GB of RAM. There's a few megs of difference between the NEX S and the 1805, but again that's not enough to be certain that these are different devices. Looking at vivo's lineup, it can definitely use a few more Snapdragon 845 entries.
