Weekly poll results: Realme 5 Pro is a hit, steals the spotlight from the Realme 5

Image
Realme has a future best-seller on its hands - but not two of them. The Realme 5 Pro got a very positive reception in last week's poll - people are happy with the upgrades over the Realme 3 Pro, which launched earlier this year at the same price.

Flashback: the Motorola ROKR E1 was a dud, but it paved the way for the iPhone

Image
Apple began life as a hardware company, selling desktop computers and then adding laptops to its roster. But in 2001 the company started its long journey to becoming a media distribution company - a journey that saw the launch of Apple Music in 2015 and will welcome Apple TV+ later this year. In 2001 Apple released iTunes to the world and a few months later the very first iPod followed. Those two products revitalized the waning company and grew quickly. In 2005 Apple had a commanding 75% share of digital music sales and 80% of MP3 player sales. With over 20 million iPods sold, Steve... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/348wi22

Videos in Google Play Store listings will autoplay starting next month

Image
The Google Play Store recently got a blindingly white redesign, and starting next month, you may find it a bit more annoying. Why? Because it will start playing promo videos in the app listings automatically. Google says the videos in the app listings will be played automatically "to help more users discover your content at a glance". However, this decision may not go well with some app developers as the Internet search giant has said that developers will have to disable monetization in these videos which are pulled from YouTube.

The Honor 20 series was introduced in times of uncertainty when no one knew whether Huawei will be allowed to be on the free smartphone market ever again. Three months later all is good between China and the United States and Huawei devices start popping back up. The latest phone is the Honor 20S - pretty similar to the Honor 20, but with a different camera setup on the back. The company announced it is up for pre-order registrations until September 4, when the official unveiling will take place. The Honor 20S was already certified on TENAA, giving us a sneak peek of the specs.... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/328jtmA

Realme Q to come with Snapdragon 712 SoC

Image
Realme is all set to introduce its Q series next week on September 5 at an event in China, and the company has now confirmed that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 712 SoC. Realme CMO confirmed yesterday we are going to see four products at the event. However, an insider, familiar with the company's plan revealed to us: Realme 5 Pro is the main hero product in the Q lineup. Perhaps the 5 Pro will debut in China under a different moniker as a part of the Q series? That leaves us wondering whether the 5 Pro will appear with a different moniker at Realme's home scene and... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2PuEHKa

vivo NEX 3 flaunts its display curves in unboxing video

Image
vivo's NEX 3 will get official sometime next month, and as we get closer and closer to its grand unveiling the Chinese company's teaser campaign is turning more and more into a bona fide hype-driving endeavor. We've already had an official teaser video, but this time around vivo went one step further and gave a NEX 3 unit to Arun Maini, aka the guy running the YouTube channel Mrwhosetheboss (yes that's a typo, but it seems intentional on his part). As this is still a teaser we don't get any spec lists or the likes, but we do catch a lot of glimpses of the phone, and especially its screen.... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2UcJLBh

Samsung Galaxy Fold is on its way to India

Image
After many months of fixes that are supposedly going to make it sturdier, Samsung's Galaxy Fold is going to become available at some point next month, perhaps around the same time as the new iPhones hit the streets. Samsung has slowly been readying the launch of its first foldable smartphone, and as part of that process the company's Indian website is now listing the Fold. That means the device will also launch in the subcontinent, though at this point it's unclear if India will be in the initial batch of markets to get it in September. If that's not the case, then if you are in India... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Plm0bI

Samsung Galaxy A71 and A91 are coming in 2020 with Android 10

Image
It's no secret that Samsung is preparing the next-generation A-series but we now have a clue when the first phones from the family might arrive and which ones will be the first on the market. According to Galaxy Club's report, the Galaxy A71 and A91 will be the first one from the series and will come with Android 10 out of the box. This could mean that the phones will be released in the Spring of 2020 right after the Galaxy S11-series.
