A while back, we walked down memory lane to revisit storage milestones on mobile phones. That article focused only on the stand-out devices, today we're going to take a broader look. We will look at the base storage for all phones added to our database since 2005. We're only be counting phones with 4GB or more as anything less is basically the same from our current point of view. Last time, we highlighted the Nokia N91, which was the first phone to deliver 8GB of storage (with a micro HDD). However its base version had only 4GB - that's the metric we're tracking today, the minimum... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2ECAaMo via IFTTT

It's always good to get something for nothing and Apple's AirPlay 2 should allow us finally to create multi-room audio, a la Sonos, without firing up iTunes. The iOS 11.3 Beta brings our first look and hands-on with Apple's AirPlay 2. AirPlay 2 is the first significant update to AirPlay since its introduction in 2010. Standing on the shoulders of AirPlay, AirPlay 2 provides an enhanced set of capabilities comprising: Multi-room audio, streaming to multiple devices simultaneously with tight synchronization Enhanced buffering between devices resulting in less ‘drop-outs' Add and... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2DYAELO via IFTTT

LG Mobile is allegedly set on pulling out of the Chinese smartphone market, reports in local publications state. The news comes following the release of LG's 2017 financial results last week. Record-breaking revenue of LG Electronics as a whole may sound good, but the mobile division in particular posted a $192M operating loss for Q4, with 'strong competition from Chinese brands' specifically quoted in the press release. Chinese brands have proven too tough of a competition in their home market, apparently - LG was estimated to have sold just 160,000 units in the country in the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2EDJKPl via IFTTT

Asus has scheduled a Zenfone 5 announcement for February 27 in Barcelona, and the way the company usually does things makes us think it won't be just one Zenfone 5. If anything, the #backto5 tagline could be closer to the number of devices we may see at MWC, in addition to being a shout out to the already existing Zenfone 5s. Just Asus things. Anyway, one of these Zenfone 5s has been revealed in a manufacturer's manual sporting an (aluminum?) unibody and a tall 18:9 display, likely in the 5.7" ballpark. Carrying an internal designation X00PD, it's unclear which model exactly this... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2Ea2bx8 via IFTTT

Huawei's next P-series flagship (or a whole family of them) is coming on March 27 instead of MWC a month earlier, but the internet is still undecided on whether it'll be called the P11 or P20. Regardless of naming, at least one of the models in the family was rumored to feature a triple camera setup and one case maker is now giving us a glimpse of how that may end up looking. Alleged Huawei P20 case renders The three cams are arranged vertically in the top left corner of the back. What looks like a dual LED flash is under them, next to it a laser autofocus window,... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2DZdoBn via IFTTT

Samsung has started pushing out a new update to its Galaxy A8+ (2018) smartphone. Weighing in at around 115MB and arriving as firmware version A730FXXU1ARAC, it's a security update that's currently hitting units in India. No, it's not the February update - security level stays at January 1 (if you remember, the device has already got the January update). So it's not clear what exactly the update brings along. The same happened with the Galaxy Note8 recently, so we assume this new update for the Galaxy A8+ (2018) also includes fixes for the Meltdown and Spectre... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2s1Or2B via IFTTT
