Nokia brand licensee HMD Global was initially rumoured to bring the Nokia 9 as its new flagship this year. However, the Finnish giant reportedly delayed the launch due to some production line issues. The Nokia 9 was previously found to have a notch-less display and as many as five camera sensors. It is also likely to carry a Zeiss logo alongside the PureView branding.

The HTC U12 Life has come to Berlin and soon will head out to the world at the end of September. It runs Android 8.1 Oreo, though not Android One. The back of the phone features two distinct textures – smooth acrylic glass and horizontal lines etched into the glass. The end result is reminiscent of the Pixel phones, but has its own look too. Two color options will be on offer: Moonlight Blue and Twilight Purple. Around the front is a 6-inch 18:9 screen, the same size as the U12+ screen. It has a 1,080 x 2,160px resolution so it’s not quite as sharp, but the good news is that HTC held strong and didn’t add a notch. Unlike the U12+, however, the U12 Life does have a 3.5mm jack. There are two things important in Life – photography and battery life. For the latter, the phone comes equipped with a 3,600mAh power cell. There’s no fast charging on board, however, there’s just a regular 10W charger in the retail box. At least it charges over USB-C. For photography, the H...

IFA is starting in Berlin and companies have already begun announcing the devices they will unveil at the conference. LG introduced today the LG G7 One and the LG G7 Fit as an addition to its smartphone portfolio. The first phone arrives with Snapdragon 835 chipset as part of the Android One program, while the latter has an older processor and likely a more affordable price tag. LG G7 One The LG G7 One is the first phone from the G-series with the Snapdragon 835 since  LG G6 arrived with the older Snapdragon 821 after  Samsung hoarding all the 835s , while the  LG G7 ThinQ  flagship came with Snapdragon 845. The new phone has a 6.1” QHD+ FullVision panel. It comes with a notch on top and an extremely high 19.5:9 ratio. The cutout hides the proximity sensor, LED notification light, selfie camera, and the earpiece. There is a slight chin below, and the fingerprint scanner can be found on the back. There is only one memory combination - 4 GB RAM and 32 GB ...

Samsung announced the Galaxy A9 Star in China, later  rebranded and launched as Galaxy A8 Star in the Philippines . The phone with dual rear cameras on the side and a square fingerprint scanner in the middle of the panel is now arriving in India, according to an Amazon teaser. Teasers of Galaxy A8 Star The phone is listed as Samsung Star, but likely will adopt the Galaxy moniker once everything is cleared out. Amazon emphasized on the dual cameras that “shines day and night,” most likely because of the wide-open f/1.7 aperture of the 16 MP + 24 MP vertical setup. Coming with a 3,700 mAh battery, the  Galaxy A8 Star  is said to be “always alive.” The capacity is way above average for Samsung smartphones, but you might have trouble quick-charging it if it stays with QC 2.0 like the flagship Galaxy Note9. Other specs include Snapdragon 660 chipset, 6.3” Super AMOLED screen, and a 24 MP f/2.0 selfie shooter. More teasers of the Galaxy A8 Star Amazon says the upcomin...

This year, however, things seem a lot different as several leaks have popped up which detail some of the exciting new features that will come with the next generation handsets. As per a new report by  TrendForce , several features about Apple’s upcoming trio of handsets have been revealed, thereby giving us a glimpse into what to expect with the new iPhones.

However, the Apple Pencil will be compatible with just the OLED versions of the handset and not the LCD version which is bei...
