This gaming phone has a built-in cooling fan and can record 8K video

[ad_1] Much like its predecessors and some direct competitors, the Red Magic 3 comes with customizable capacitive shoulder triggers and an RGB LED strip on the back to keep competitive gamers happy. As a bonus, the fingerprint reader above the RGB strip can also be mapped as a button for gaming. The phone has also […]

AT&T’s fake 5GE icon is available in the Android Open Source Project

[ad_1] AT&T introduced the 5GE (5G Evolution) in January on Samsung’s Galaxy S8 Active and LG’s V30. But as true 5G networks are still being tested, 5GE really indicates 4G LTE-Advanced — a mix of 4G LTE plus technologies like 4×4 MIMO antennas, 256 QAM and carrier aggregation. AT&T’s competitors were quick to mock and […]

Samsung’s Galaxy Fold is ‘alarmingly fragile’

[ad_1] The findings might help explain at least one of the review unit failures. The Verge‘s Dieter Bohn noted that his Galaxy Fold developed a bulge that ultimately broke a conspicuous number of pixels. If debris was at fault, that wouldn’t bode well for everyday users whose phones might break relatively easily. This also isn’t […]

Samsung is reportedly delaying the Galaxy Fold due to display issues

[ad_1] We’ve asked Samsung for comment. However, the apparent scoop comes hours after the tech giant postponed launch events in Hong Kong and Shanghai. The display problems have varied. Some were the result of a misunderstanding about the Fold’s main display — reviewers mistakenly assumed a layer on top was a screen protector they could […]

Samsung has postponed Galaxy Fold launch events in China

[ad_1] No reason was provided when a representative informed Engadget Chinese of the Hong Kong delay over the phone earlier today. As for Shanghai, the National Business Daily reported that Samsung China put the blame on the venue. No new dates have been set for either press event. It’s also unclear whether the Taipei event […]

LG struggles to deliver on its promise of faster Android updates

[ad_1] Okay, to be fair it’s done something. It did roll out Android Oreo to the LG G6, but only nine months after Google. It’s now been 255 days since Android Pie began rolling out to Pixel devices, and LG’s Software Upgrade Center has yet to update a single one of its devices, with the […]

Google Pay can find your tickets and loyalty cards in Gmail

[ad_1] Don’t be surprised if the feature isn’t available yet on your phone. It was when we tried it, but Google’s rollouts can take days or weeks. The company also cautions that deleting the root email messages will also eliminate the Google Pay entries, so this isn’t quite like Apple’s Wallet (where tickets are separate […]

Google teases ‘something big’ for Pixel on May 7th

[ad_1] The timing would be right. Google itself recently hinted at the Pixel 3a and 3a XL on its store, and May 7th conveniently dovetails with the first day of this year’s I/O developer conference. Past reports had Google aiming for a mid-year debut, and even Google’s Hiroshi Lockheimer admitted that he was using a […]

Google faces surge in police requests for mobile location data

[ad_1] Many of these requests come from relatively new “geofence” warrants that asks Google to hand over location info for every device that passed through a given area over a certain period of time. Google anonymizes the data at first, but it will provide names and other sensitive info if police believe it matches the […]

Google and Huawei will pay Nexus 6P owners for battery woes

[ad_1] This isn’t the first such lawsuit in recent memory. As The Verge pointed out, LG faced a similar lawsuit after multiple phone models (including the Nexus 5X) suffered from their own boot loop troubles. In January 2018, it paid $425 (or $700 via rebate) per person for the fault. While incidents like this are […]
