OnePlus 7T Pro with 5G is coming to T-Mobile later this year

[ad_1] The standard 7T Pro is a mildly souped-up 7 Pro with a Snapdragon 855+ chip, a minimum 8GB of RAM, faster charging, an ever-so-slightly larger battery and photography extras like 960FPS slow motion video and a macro mode. The McLaren model bumps the RAM to 12GB and, of course, adds that signature black and […]

Verizon is giving Unlimited customers 12 months of Disney+ for free

[ad_1] This makes Verizon the exclusive Disney+ carrier, and it could help Disney+ better compete with Apple TV+, which launches on November 1st. Apple recently announced that anyone who buys an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Mac will get a free one-year subscription to its service. Disney doesn’t have its own hardware to bundle subscriptions […]

Huawei wants to license its 5G tech to US telecoms

[ad_1] Company founder Ren Zhengei floated the possibility of these deals in September, but it wasn’t clear at the time whether anyone would be receptive. However, that’s not really the core problem. Huawei still sits on the US Commerce Department’s Entity List, preventing it from doing business with US companies without explicit permission. A license […]

Verizon adds 5G coverage to three basketball and hockey arenas

[ad_1] The network plans to have 5G coverage in 10 arenas by the end of the 2019-2020 season. These building-by-building expansions are necessary in part due to the limited reach of current 5G tech. As we’ve discovered first-hand, Verizon’s ultra-wideband 5G doesn’t reach far indoors — the company can’t just place cell sites outside. If […]

Google is reportedly testing a 5G version of the Pixel 4

[ad_1] Whether or not you’ll hear about a 5G variant at Google’s October 15th event is another matter. Test production suggests it’s still early, and Nikkei‘s contacts said Google might wait to unveil a 5G version in spring alongside a new budget Pixel phone (the Pixel 4a?). Not that there’s much of a rush to […]

Project xCloud’s first public trial hits Android devices in October

[ad_1] First, this isn’t the console streaming that Microsoft promised players at E3 2019. In theory, that service will allow folks to stream games from their own Xboxes to their mobile devices, essentially giving each player a personal xCloud server. It’s a feature that sets xCloud apart from its streaming competitors, most notably Google Stadia. […]

FCC creates two ‘innovation zones’ to test next-gen wireless

[ad_1] Testers have to honor the FCC’s guidelines for a given zone, including the authority of the zone administrator, and provide early notice for their projects. The New York City zone will support COSMOS (Cloud Enhanced Open Software Defined Mobile Wireless Testbed for City-Scale Development) in West Harlem and will run by Columbia University, Rutgers […]

Verizon will launch home 5G everywhere mobile service is available

[ad_1] The initial service ran on an in-house approach to 5G and offers typical speeds of 300Mbps. It won’t compete with gigabit fiber, but it’s faster than many landline connections and, if you get an indoor antenna, let you set up yourself. The main catch, as always, is the slow pace of 5G deployment. Verizon’s […]

Watch Huawei’s IFA 2019 event in 11 minutes

[ad_1] Even if you somehow managed to get up to watch Huawei’s IFA 2019 keynote, what you saw likely didn’t give you a jolt of energy. That’s because compared to past Huawei keynotes, the company’s latest had a more subdued atmosphere. With a US ban that’s unlikely to lift anytime soon, Huawei’s Richard Yu wasn’t […]
