What a beautiful day, let's all have some cake! We are turning 19 years old today and we are proud to share this moment with you.

MIUI is Xiaomi's heavily customized Android skin for its smartphones and ever since it first started MIUI back in 2010, it has always provided Global Beta builds for almost all of its smartphones including legacy ones - years after their initial release.

vivo will soon launch the Z1 Pro in India, which was initially thought to be a re-branded Z5x launched in China last month. But, while the Z5x is powered by Snapdragon 710 SoC, the Z1 Pro will come with Snapdragon 712 instead, making it the first smartphone in India to have this chipset.
Furthermore, the 16MP selfie camera on the Z5x is also replaced with a 32MP unit on the Z1 Pro. However, it will retain the Z5x's 5,000 mAh battery having 18W fast charging support.

A detailed specs sheet of the Motorola One Action leaked two days ago telling us more about the internals of the phone. And now, a render of the One Action has surfaced, showing us what it looks like.
The Motorola One Action looks similar to the One Vision announced last month. It has a punch hole display on the front, power button and volume rocker on the right, a SIM card slot on the left, and a speaker and a microphone at the bottom flanking the USB-C port. The headphone jack on the One Action is likely placed at the top, like the One Vision.
The One Action also has the...
Last month was the first time we saw what the upcoming iPhone's rear camera could possibly look like. It was a square camera setup with triple cameras arranged in a seemingly random arrangement.
Case and accessory manufacturer Olixar already has glass protectors for the iPhone 11's rear camera, and they come in three versions, one for each of the three variants we are expecting from Apple this year. In addition, the same accessory maker also has an iPhone 11 Max screen protector also up for pre-order from Mobile Fun UK.
The UK retailer made a video about the camera protectors where...
Google's official Pixel 4 design reveal was somewhat surprising, but now we're back in familiar territory with Pixel leaks. Similar to last year's Pixel 3 XL train leak, the upcoming Google flagship was spotted in the flesh by an anonymous tipster out in London.
The phone appears to be in a fabric case which Google has been offering for its devices since the Pixel 2 came to be. While the new image falls in line with what we've seen so far with the square camera cutout for the dual cameras, it doesn't provide much additional information.
According to the folks over at 9to5Google...
2019 was supposed to be the year of the foldable phone, but it is already halfway through the year and we still do not have any idea of how these phones are supposed to change our lives, or at least the way we use our smartphones. This is because not only has the Samsung Galaxy Fold’s launch been delayed, but so has the Huawei Mate X.This is according to a […]
Let’s face it, we’ve all been guilty of being at some point too busy to reply to a text message. However, the good news for Android users is that in the future, Google will remind you to reply to those messages, or at least they will do so if you are using Google Messages.This is according to a discovery by XDA Recognized Developer Quinny899 who was tinkering around with Google […]
Back in February, Huawei announced its first foldable phone - the Mate X. The device was initially scheduled to arrive by the end of this month but then the whole US trade ban came to spoil the Chinese manufacturer's plans. New reports from CNBC and The Wall Street Journal claim that the company's foldable phone is scheduled to arrive in September.
According to a Huawei spokesperson, the Mate X will launch globally with a focus on markets where 5G infrastructure is already deployed. Moreover given Samsung's Galaxy Fold troubles the spokesperson said that the Mate X is going through...

Did you know that your iPhone has the ability to shoot 4K videos? Apple doesn’t always make it so obvious, but here are the steps you can take if you’d like to enable 4K video recording on your iPhone.
Huawei's nova 5 family is growing larger by the hour. Next week's event was expected to feature the nova 5, the 5i, and the Pro variant, but we now see a fourth device will be joining them as the nova 5i Pro has been listed on Chinese retailer JD.com's website.
The listing includes the images of the nova 5i Pro, which reveal that the phone will come with a conventional notch housing a dual camera. It's currently unclear what purpose the second camera will serve, but it could be a wide-angle lens, or maybe it's a depth sensor.
The back of the phone also has two cameras, aligned...
As a result of its US trade ban, Huawei got its Android revoked and thus it won't be able to use Google Play Services (the Google Play Store included) on phones that haven't been already certified. This means that the company needs to look elsewhere for its software.
Initial rumors pointed at Huawei's in-house Ark OS and it's supposed to go out sometime in October but sources familiar with the matter state that the Chinese tech giant is considering another alternative as well - Sailfish OS.
Well, not exactly pure Sailfish but instead a fork called Aurora OS, which is still...

One of the key highlights of the OnePlus 7 Pro is that the phone comes with a 90Hz display. This makes the phone stand out from the majority of the competition as it does offer up a faster refresh rate, a feature that OnePlus was quick to capitalize on. However, as it turns out, the phone’s 90Hz display refresh rate might not be 90Hz all the time.According to XDA Recognized […]
After releasing its latest Fit wearables across Europe and Asia, the Galaxy Fit and Fit e are making their way to the US and Canada.
Both trackers cover all the basics in terms of recording workout data in a lightweight package. The most noticeable difference between the two is that the regular Galaxy Fit comes with a larger color screen and interactive notification support while the Fit e sports monochrome screen and more limited functionality.
The Galaxy Fit features a 0.95-inch full-color AMOLED screen and packs the Cortex M33F SoC. One of its advantages over the Fit e is the...

Just last week a Samsung official hinted at a possible July launch of the Galaxy Fold but today we are getting more bad news. The statement comes from the company itself and denies July release.
It was suggested that Samsung will be holding a media briefing very soon and during the event will announce a release date for the handset. The firm's spokesperson, however, said that if there was a media briefing planned for the following weeks, we would have heard something about it.
So it appears that the foldable smartphone announced alongside the Galaxy S10 series might not even beat...
Everyone is talking about the Galaxy Note10, but Samsung might have other announcements over the next couple of months. The company is planning to launch at least three new tablets - we already told you about the Galaxy Tab S5 with Snapdragon 855, but it will likely be accompanied by the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 2019 and the Galaxy Tab Active Pro.
The former slate already appeared on the Android Enterprise website, and was approved by the Bluetooth SIG and Wi-Fi Alliance organisations with at least five different model numbers - SM-T295, SM-T295N, SM-T295C, SM-T297 and SM-T290. The first...

There hasn’t been much talk about Google’s Daydream virtual reality platform. The company didn’t say much about it during this year’s I/O developers’ conference. However, the platform is still here and continues to work, but a change is now being made. Google has quietly made the decision to shut down the Play Movies & TV app for Daydream. With Play Movies & TV, Daydream users could view their rented and […]

With Huawei’s access to Android being restricted due to the fall out from the US/China trade war, the company is reportedly going to deploy its own operating system on devices from October this year. Huawei has previously revealed that it has been working on its very own mobile operating system as a contingency in the event that its access to Android was ever blocked. Its HongMeng OS may be rebranded […]
Google seems to have grown tired of the leaks concerning its Pixel 4 flagship smartphone so it tweeted out a render of the device from its official account yesterday. While it didn’t say anything about the launch, there was some speculation that perhaps it might happen earlier than the usual October timeframe. A leaked Verizon marketing calendar suggests that this won’t be the case. Notable tech leakster @evleaks has posted […]
It was back in April this year that Google enabled Android devices running version 7.0 and up to effectively double as a physical security key for accessing Google services like Gmail. The company is now expanding the same ability to iOS. This means that an Android device can now be used as a physical two factor authentication security key to verify log-ins made on iOS devices. When the feature was […]
Editing video clips on our mobile devices are usually a less-than-ideal experience due to the relatively smaller screens.

Samsung’s foldable phone, the Galaxy Fold, was meant to be a celebration of how far we’ve come along in terms of technological development. Unfortunately, it seems to be struggling to get off the ground. To make matters worse, it seems that AT&T has sent out emails to its Galaxy Fold customers informing them that their pre-orders have since been cancelled.According to the email, AT&T has told customers that since Samsung […]
At the moment, Qualcomm is pretty much the only company that has chipsets available in the market that are compatible with 5G. This comes in the form of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 which can be found in the majority of flagship smartphones, although it should be noted that not all Snapdragon 855 chipsets have 5G.This is because its 5G modem, the X50, is still separate from the chipset which means […]
Earlier this year, it was discovered that Facebook was running an app that paid users to collect data on them. This generated a lot of controversy because Facebook had used their Apple certificate, which was meant to only distribute apps internally, to distribute it to the public. This resulted in Apple temporarily revoking Facebook’s access.If you thought that was the end of it, think again because this time Facebook is […]
There have been a fair number of Pixel 4-related leaks in recent times, and perhaps looking to stop the speculation and put an end to the rumors, it seems that Google has decided to come forward to officially reveal the Pixel 4. The company shared an image on its Twitter account which has revealed the handset in its official capacity.However, we should note that this reveal is more of a […]
Apple is a company that loves to do everything themselves, and we totally get it. This helps Appl reduce dependency on other companies, thus insulating them from any potential problems. This is why it didn’t come as a surprise to learn that Apple could be looking to develop their own 5G modems.We imagine that developing your own modem probably won’t come easy and will require a huge investment and a […]
Facebook-owned WhatsApp is the most popular cross-platform messaging service in the world. Operating at that scale presents its own set of challenges.

He has tweeted out what can only be described as an acknowledgment that there’s going to be a new product announcement soon. What’s interesting is that Rubin’s acknowledgment […]
There has been a lot of speculation about what the ongoing trade war between the United States and China might mean for iPhones that are destined for Apple’s home country.

Taxi drivers taking the long way to your destination in order to drive up the fare is one of the oldest scams in the book.

So it’s always a good idea to have your route mapped out in Google Maps even when you’re […]
Malware on our smartphones aren’t new, although for the most part, this can be easily avoided by not downloading from suspicious-looking websites or unofficial sources.
