Remember when, in 2011, the original Samsung Galaxy Note was considered huge with its 5.3" touchscreen? Those were the days. Irony aside, Xiaomi's Mi Max 3 brings a 6.9-inch display to the table, basically bordering on what used to be small tablet territory. Those are definitely not a thing anymore, and big smartphones like this one are part of the reason why. Anyway, the Mi Max 3 modernizes the formula of its predecessors, with its 18:9 screen. It also packs an even bigger battery - 5,500 mAh this time.

As expected, today Qualcomm took the wraps off its latest chipset intended for wearables. The Snapdragon Wear 3100 comes to replace the Snapdragon Wear 2100, which was getting pretty old in the tooth already. The good news about the new SoC is that Qualcomm promises some pretty nifty battery life improvements. Apparently you should get 4 to 12 more hours of usage from a watch using this chip, compared to one using its predecessor. The exact amount of extra operating time you'll take advantage of will obviously depend on factors such as display type, battery capacity, and device... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2O1O3Yh via IFTTT

Some evidence of the Nokia 9 storage options has surfaced from the most unusual source - Samsung's buyback program in Latvia. You can get up to €292 off your next Galaxy phone purchase if you trade in a yet to be unveiled Nokia flagship. That's for the dual SIM model with 128GB of storage. There's also a 64GB version and both are also available in single SIM flavor. That's what the buyback page claims, anyway. Where would Samsung get such info? Our guess is that it works with a phone recycling company that publishes a list of all models it can handle.
