Sony’s mobile division might be on the chopping block
It’s not much of a surprise that Sony’s mobile division has never done very well relative to the rest of the industry, and it’s been a rumor for quite some time that the company will drop out of the smartphone game entirely. The move would make sense, especially considering it has recently been losing more […]

Samsung might be prepping Galaxy Buds earphones for the Galaxy S10 launch
Samsung isn’t really known for making headphones, despite making accessories and gadgets of just about everything else. They do offer the IconX, a set of truly wireless headphones that I think are pretty mediocre, but otherwise they don’t leverage their Galaxy branding to push headphones like other manufacturers do. That might change with the launch […]

The Galaxy S10 Edge might bring back Samsung’s old Edge branding
Remember the Galaxy S7 Edge and that entire family of Edge phones from Samsung? After the Galaxy S8 all of their flagship phones adopted a curved edge display, so the Edge name was dropped for just the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. But that name might be coming back with the Galaxy S10, since not […]

Entry level Galaxy S10 Lite might get an exclusive yellow color option
Samsung is preparing multiple Galaxy S10 models for next year, including a Galaxy S10 Lite that will likely be a little cheaper and with worse specs than its bigger counterparts. That’s been the case for the past few generations, too, with the bigger models picking up extra camera features and other hardware improvements. That probably […]

Huawei Mate 20 Pro might have an easily fooled face unlock
If you’ve heard me on one of our recent podcasts, you know that I’m not a big fan of notches, especially on Android phones. The iPhone X from last year introduced this monstrosity and Android manufacturers were (VERY) quick to copy. The iPhone X’s notch at least had a purpose – it housed new facial […]

Motorola might be preparing a Moto Mods alternative to Samsung DeX
DeX is one of Samsung’s favorite new features to push on their smartphones, especially for productivity-focused users. More and more users are relying on smartphones and accessories to do productivity work, too, so why wouldn’t they? But of course that means that other manufacturers are going to want a slice of that pie, too. Motorola, […]

Samsung might eventually combine the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note families
A new rumor suggests Samsung might eventually be merging their Galaxy S and Galaxy Note lines, creating just a single line of flagship phones instead of two offsetting lineups every year. With the Galaxy Note 8 sticking pretty close to the Galaxy S8+ it was a tough sell for anyone looking to upgrade, considering the […]

Huawei might have found a way around the display notch
The notch is easily one of the hottest topics of 2018, with tons of people on both sides of the argument.

Huawei and the US government have been at odds for pretty much all of 2018, and unfortunately for Huawei, it doesn’t look like that’s going to change anytime soon.

Layoffs coming to Motorola, might impact the Moto Z and Moto Mods
Motorola’s smartphone business has been a story with a ton of ups and downs.

That eventually turned into a sale to Google and the promising but underwhelming Moto X line, […]

The Samsung Galaxy S9 might keep the Galaxy S8’s display aspect ratio
Nobody’s questioning whether or not the Galaxy S9 is real, but we are pretty curious about what Samsung plans on changing this time around.

OnePlus 3 might have a whopping 6 GB of RAM
We’re still expecting the OnePlus 3 in Q2 of this year, so you should definitely expect the rumor mill to start churning things out as we get closer to the middle of the year. The newest rumor about the device suggests that we might see two different variants of the device, and one of the might have an insane amount of RAM.
Some new benchmarks have cropped up of the A3000 and the A3003, both of which are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 CPU, but there are some confusing facts surrounding the model numbers and code names.
First off, we have two benchmarks for two phones, both with the model number A3000. One device is codenamed “Rain” and sports a 5-inch, 1080p screen with 4 GB of RAM, and the other device is called “Rain Rain” (not a typo) and also has a 5-inch, 1080p screen but with 6 GB of RAM.
There’s also a third benchmark for the A3003 Rain Rain that only has 4 GB of RAM, which means OnePlus is going to launch a weird lineup of phones, or someone royally screwed up on internal names for test devices. Maybe both?
Other hardware here includes 64 GB of internal storage, 16 megapixel/8 megapixel cameras, and your standard suite of WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity radios. NFC is also making a comeback, so OnePlus isn’t sticking to their guns about dropping it from the OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X.
It’s also worth mentioning that a 5-inch screen seems like it would be below the norm for the OnePlus 3 and might end up being the successor to the smaller OnePlus X. There’s really no telling at this point since we’re trying to piece together rumors that might just end up being typos.
However you slice it, OnePlus is expected to launch a new phone in the next few months, so here’s hoping that we get some real clarification soon.

Google might make a VR headset that doesn’t need a phone to work
We have been hearing talk that Google is working on a new VR headset. They already have the Google Cardboard, but this one is said to be much better.
One of the reasons this headset will be much better, and totally different from anything else out there, is the fact that it will be an all-in-one device. It won’t need a phone or a PC in order to work.
Google is actually said to be releasing two new VR headsets. One that is similar to a Samsung Gear VR, which uses a phone to be powered, and another one that doesn’t need anything else to work. The second one would be in its own class as everything else out there must have other devices to function properly.
We don’t know if these reports are true or not as we have heard that one headset is supposed to debut this year, however, we have also heard that Google might dump the idea entirely. If the rumours are true, a likely time frame to see the device would probably be at the Google I/O developer conference later this year. However, it would probably be the headset that works with phones first, and not the stand-alone one just yet.

LG might kill off the G Flex 3 to focus on the G5 and V10
CES 2016 is fast approaching, but we have some possibly sad news. The LG G Flex 3 probably won’t be there, and it possibly won’t ever make it to market either.
According to recent rumours, LG will not be unveiling a G Flex 3 smartphone at CES 2016, but instead will focus all of its efforts on the LG G5 and next gen V10. The LG G Flex 2 didn’t get the best reviews, while the V10 has been out to a great start so far. This might not be the worst move by LG?
There are also LG G5 rumours suggesting it will follow Samsung and use much higher end materials, primarily, an all metal unibody design. Also, it is said to possibly come with an iris recognition sensor, and a larger 20MP camera.
What do you think about there possibly not being a LG G Flex 3? Smart move, or bad decision by LG?

Samsung Pay might be coming to more brands in the future
Samsung’s mobile payment service, Samsung Pay, launched back in September and has been on a mission to beat out rivals such as Android Pay and Apple Pay. Unlike competitors, Samsung Pay brings the addition of magnetic secure transmission allowing for a much wider compatibility.
The only downside of Samsung Pay is that it only works on specific Samsung devices such as the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note 5. However, a new rumor shows positive signs. There’s a possibility that Samsung will bring its payment service to a wider range of brands in the future. Samsung also plans to continue its advertising scheme that it’s not just another Android Pay or Apple Pay, it’s something more special. The rumor comes from the VP of Samsung’s mobile division, Injong Rhee, so it’s safe to assume that this is valid. As always, we’ll keep you updated if we hear any further plans.
