MWC 2019 is nearing and companies are racing to announce their appearance at the conference. Companies that have confirmed attendance include Sony, Xiaomi, LG, Huawei and Oppo. The latest manufacturer to join the fun is HMD Global and its Nokia smartphones after Juho Sarvikas confirmed February 24 as the date for the showdown. Instead of going for a fancy poster or traditional media invites, Sarvikas decided to go with the massively unfunny "really really" meme that no one but companies are using right now. Asking fans to "tune into the Barcelona showdown" suggests there could be a... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2G3QOXU via IFTTT

The iPhone XR is often painted as a disappointment and Apple has been cutting production. Still it managed to become the best selling 2018 iPhone model in the last three months of the year in the US. During the first month of availability, it made up 32% of iPhone sales while the XS duo combined accounted for 35%, based on info by CIRP.

HMD's Pie update roadmap had a conspicuous absence - the Nokia 2. Juho Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer, got plenty questions about it on Twitter and posted an explanation of what's going on. The Nokia 2 is not getting Pie and while it's due for an Oreo serving, it comes with fine print. Since Oreo requires more resources, it will not run as smoothly as Nougat (the phone's original software). So HMD will give you the choice: stick with the old Nougat software or get the more recent Oreo at the cost of UI snappiness. The option to update will be available soon. Nokia 2 The 1GB... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2RRkRcL via IFTTT

LG's next mainstream flagship phone won't come with 5G connectivity and the company will instead launch a separate 5G handset during this year's MWC at Barcelona. The information comes straight from LG, so it's official as it gets. The company also adds that the phone will feature a big copper vapor chamber, which will be 2.7 times the size of the one on the LG V40 ThinQ and will hold twice the amount of coolant. This will significantly improve the cooling capabilities of the 5G-capable LG smartphone while utilizing the full potential of the Snapdragon 855 SoC. Moreover, the phone... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2ReDkum via IFTTT

Redmi Note 7 arrived with a 48 MP camera and Snapdragon 660 chipset, but the sub-brand CEO Lu Weibing decided to take the marketing into another, rather unusual, direction. Instead of speaking about the performance of the device, we saw it smashing walnuts, rolling down the stairs and being stomped. In the latest installment of the endurance videos, the Redmi Note 7 is being used as a cutting board in some sort of a real fruit ninja game. In the video Weibing is chopping a kiwi, a banana and an apple over a running Redmi Note 7. The Gorilla Glass stayed intact after meeting the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2G46FWP via IFTTT
