The Huawei Mate X will be available later this year, but the company has been pretty vague about the launch date. A slip-up on Vmall (a Huawei-run online retailer) may have spoiled the mystery, however. A page for Huawei's first foldable phone (which is also its first 5G phone) went up, showing a June release date. That page has since been taken down. Officially, the Mate X will be available in mid-2019 at a price of €2,300. The specs of the phone are, of course, no secret - we even have a video preview if you want more details.

We're now mostly downloading apps that are around 5 years old, says Eric Feng - Founding CTO of Hulu. The Top 30 apps in Apple's App Store are, on average, 1,853 days old (5 years) compared to 625 days old (less than 2 years) in 2014. This means people are choosing to download more established apps in place of newer ones. Of course this is the place where you'll find the must-have Facebook, Instagram, Google Maps, Spotify and the like. The story is the same on Android where the Top 30 apps on the Google Play Store are, on average, 4 years old in 2019 and were 18 months old in... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2Gc69p8 via IFTTT

Here's an interesting stat - among Google Pixel 3 and OnePlus 6T buyers in Q4 of 2018 in the US, the most were former Samsung owners. Less than 20% were iPhone users. Now let's clarify a bit. According to Counterpoint Research data, some 51% of Pixel 3 buyers in the States were owners of a Galaxy smartphone, however 31% of them owned a three year old Galaxy S7. While 37% of OnePlus 6T buyers came from a Samsung phone, many of them used either a Samsung J2 Prime or the aforementioned Galaxy S7.

Today Qualcomm took the wraps off its two newest mobile chipsets: the Snapdragon 665 and the Snapdragon 730 (which also gets a 730G bin, with 15% better graphics). Snapdragon 665 The Snapdragon 665 seems to be intended as the successor to the Snapdragon 660. Compared to that, it's made on a smaller 11nm LPP process, which means it should bring some battery life improvements to the table as well as some cost reduction. Like its predecessor, the 665 has four Kryo 260 cores, based off of the ARM Cortex-A73 microarchitecture, but these only go up to 2GHz compared to 2.2 GHz in the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2Gcbay7 via IFTTT

Today a trusted source who wishes to remain anonymous but has been reliable in the past sent us an image of an upcoming official case for a yet unannounced Honor device. Here it is in all its glory: While seeing just the case doesn't give us a lot of information about the phone it's designed for, there are still some educated guesses we can make. First off, it looks like this handset will have a bunch of rear cameras, as the cutout for those is quite big. The design of the cutout itself makes us think of the Huawei P30 Pro's camera arrangement, with the LED flash placed to the right of... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2IayCxV via IFTTT

Even though the name states otherwise, the G8 ThinQ is actually a minor hardware refresh of last year's LG G7 ThinQ. Sure, it has the brand new Snapdragon 855 behind the wheel and a couple of neat (kind of) software and hardware features. But are they enough to battle the newly released Galaxy S10 trio or even the Huawei P30-series? After all, both Huawei and Samsung went along with not one but a couple of cutting-edge awe-inspiring features. from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2InEK5i via IFTTT

Folding phones like the Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X are neat, but few will be able to afford them. The Fold is expected to retail for $2,000 while Huawei's offering goes even further at $2,600. There is always a price premium on first generation devices and most users will stick to traditional smartphones for the time being. Galaxy Fold (left) and Mate X (right) BOE is one of the world's largest display manufacturers and the main foldable display supplier for Huawei.

Realme's Indian CEO Madhav Sheth believes in the abilities of the upcoming Realme 3 Pro's camera so much, that he's gone on Twitter to share some samples with the world. There are only three and they've been wiped of their proper resolution and EXIF data, but they do reveal some of what's to expect.
