LG patent suggests a foldable phone is in the works

Image
We have been hearing about flexible and foldable smartphone displays for a few years now. But we've yet to a see a phone maker actually mass produce a smartphone display that's actually foldable. We've heard rumors of Samsung, Huawei and Motorola working on such smartphones but a newly published LG patent suggests that LG is aiming for the same foldable form factor. The patent was originally filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office in late-2017 and is described as a "mobile terminal" - a technical description of what a smartphone is. It describes a smartphone body with a flexible... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2MJSUwc via IFTTT

Samsung Galaxy Note9 support sites go live

Image
Samsung's Galaxy Note9 has not yet been made official, but the phone maker has very well been preparing for its release set to take place in about a month's time.

Leaked image shows About screen on Xiaomi's upcoming Mi A2

Image
Xiaomi is taking its sweet time making the Mi A2 official, but that probably will happen soon. The phone is expected to use the exact same hardware as the already announced Mi 6X, with the only difference being that it will run stock Android, as part of the Android One program. That's similar to what happened last year with the Mi 5X and Mi A1. The Mi A2's About screen has leaked today in a live image showing the phone, and as you can see there are no traces of MIUI here.

AnTuTu lists the best-performing handsets in June 2018

Image
The famous AnTuTu benchmark has posted its monthly report of top 10 best-performing smartphones and we see some new additions to the table. As expected, almost all of the phones in this table are Snapdragon 845-powered but since they are designed differently, have different thermal constraints and run various versions of Android, scores vary a little bit. The first place goes once again to Xiaomi's gaming Black Shark while the newly announced vivo NEX S comes in as close second. The rostrum is completed by the OnePlus 6 with marginally lower result. The rest of the handsets are... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2lVFhPq via IFTTT
