vivo is working on a NEX Dual Display Edition with Snapdragon 710 at the helm

vivo recently announced the NEX Dual Display Edition, a high-end smartphone that solves the notch problem by forgoing a front-facing camera altogether, instead outfitting the rear of the phone with a screen too - so you can use the main camera system for selfies as well. Now it looks like the company is busy readying a slightly more affordable version of this handset - which feels familiar because that's what it did earlier in the year with the NEX S and NEX A. The "NEX A" variant of the NEX Dual Display Edition will be powered by the Snapdragon 710 chipset, paired with 8GB of...

Galaxy Note9 receives another Android Pie beta

As we wait for the final release to go out, possibly on January 15, Samsung has now started sending out a new beta build of Android 9 Pie with One UI on top to the Galaxy Note9 units enrolled in the beta program. It's the fourth build that's making it to the company's flagship phablet, and it comes with a bunch of bug fixes. For example, force touching the Home button when gesture navigation is activated didn't work, but now it does. The Gallery app isn't stopping anymore when you play motion photos, and the Bixby service doesn't stop in two phone mode from this point on. Another fixed bug...

Just days after the launch of Huawei P Smart (2019) on the European market, its more affordable sibling called Huawei Y7 Pro (2019) made an appearance in Vietnam.

Counterclockwise: the touchscreen evolution

The human-computer interface has been a problem since the dawn of computers. As far as smartphones are concerned, the clear winner is the touchscreen. But how did we get here? The proto-touchscreen was the light pen, which was first developed in the 50s and 60s and was available to consumers as an accessory for 8-bit computers in the 80s. The light pen is a simple but clever solution that works only with CRT monitors - it senses the electron beam as it scans across the phosphor drawing the image line by line, pixel by pixel. When the beam is sensed by the pen, the computer just makes a...

The punch hole screen camera is the way forward

My job at GSMArena is getting to the office early in the morning, usually before sunrise, to cover the latest news, leaks and rumors. I've been following design trends from their development stage all the way to the final products. One of the sadder solutions among smartphone manufacturers is the notch, introduced by Apple and the iPhone X back in 2017. I never got the hate it received as the cutout was just bound to happen. The notch eventually got smaller by the middle of 2018, when we saw the Oppo F9 with the new fashionable waterdrop notch, but by the end of 2018 we already have...

Netflix drops in-app purchase option for subscriptions on iOS

Previously, customers could choose to subscribe to the service through the app itself on iOS. Since this used Apple's iTunes payment and subscriptions system, Apple took a 15% cut from every transaction.

Smaller/cheaper Galaxy Home smart speaker apparently in the works

Alongside the Galaxy Note9's announcement back in August, Samsung kinda sorta revealed the Galaxy Home smart speaker. Five months later, the product's status is still 'coming soon', but by the looks of it, another one has meanwhile been in development. So far, all that is known is that the new speaker will come in black (surprise there), and that it carries an SM-V310 model designation. Compare that to the SM-V510 number of the original Galaxy Home, and you'd reach the logical conclusion that this mysterious speaker will be smaller and/or more affordable (not that the Home's price has been...

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy A50 has been revealed to carry a beefy 4,000 mAh battery through a new report today.
