We are still far from the launching of the next-generation Pixel devices. However, we have been getting leaks as early as last month to what the device will actually look like. For long, we have only seen the back of the handset. And to what we have seen, the Pixel 4 XL may probably be the first to break the single-camera ideology of the Pixel series. Now, for the facade, looks like Google is reverting to its pre-Pixel 3 eras. Last year’s Pixel 3 has been highly-criticized for its huge robotic-looking notch. With the new Pixel 4, the notch will…

When the Nokia 9 PureView was launched, HMD offers the phone as a limited edition. Hence, the single blue color variant. However, in a video released by Motors24.ee YouTube channel, the phone appears to have been painted gray. In a 17-minute video, the reviewer talks about the smartphone, as well as comparing it with Huawei’s flagship smartphone. There is also a walk-through of the main camera features of the device. According to Nokiamob, the language appears to be Estonian. Although we can’t properly confirm that. While we would want to see this color variant soon, there is also a huge…

At last, HMD’s cheapest smartphone, the Nokia 1, is now finally getting Pied. Company CPO, Juho Sarvikas, has just announced on Twitter that the device will start receiving it’s Android Pie upgrade starting today.

This rollout completed HMD Global’s update cycle for the Android 9 Pie. Of course, that if we…

It doesn’t seem to be a good time to get a Huawei. Following the US ban which prohibits the company from using Google-certified Android OS, ARM technologies on its chipsets, and even Bluetooth, the company has been quiet about their future releases. There are even reports of poor sales for its current offerings, giving sellers a scratch on their foreheads. While current users are giving away their Huawei phones at bargain prices. But it’s too early for competitors to throw some parties. Google and Huawei still has 90 days to work with each other to support up and coming Huawei…

Last month, realme has started pushing Beta Android Pie update for selected realme 2 Pro users. This was then followed by stable roll-out which has been available for a limited number of users. The company also promised that a wider roll-out will be available in the next 10-15 days. However, to those who can’t wait that long, the company has provided a Google Form where users can sign up to get the update earlier than expected. Upon registering your information, the form will then tell you that your “device will get OTA in 1-7 days”. That’s shorter than the initial…

As per HMD, the display can go as bright as 400 nits. Inside the notch is a 5-megapixel camera, allowing for some sort of face recognition. During his…

We may never have heard of the brand Lenovo (for smartphones) as often as we would before, but the company’s smartphone business is still active. In fact, just last month, Lenovo launched its first flagship smartphone for 2019 – the Lenovo Z6. The phone features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC, with 12GB of RAM, and triple rear-facing cameras. Pretty much what we expect for a 2019 flagship. Then comes the Lenovo Z6 Lite, also known as Z6 Youth Edition. The Lenovo Z6 Lite (Youth Edition), as the name suggests, is a stripped-down version of their flagship Z6. The phone is…
