This is the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in Midnight Black
What we're seeing on the left is likely the very first legitimate render of the upcoming Galaxy Note 8 - a new high-end smartphone that Samsung will announce on August 23. We have high confidence in the authenticity of this image, as it's coming from Evan Blass (aka @evleaks), who's been revealing unannounced phones - with an incredible accuracy - for years now.
Reportedly, this is a Galaxy Note 8 (or Note8, as Samsung may wants to write its name) in Midnight Black. For the record, the already released Galaxy S8 comes in this color, too. This render is pretty much similar to other images ...

T-Mobile killing its Windows Phone app effective August 25

Galaxy Note 8 leaks again in case maker renders, Arctic Silver version included
Back when the first color versions leak of the Galaxy S8 came our way, we couldn't help but notice the funky names that Samsung chose for the hues - Black Sky, Orchid Grey, and Arctic Silver. That last Arctic Silver version will apparently be present as a color layer on the upcoming Galaxy Note 8, as well, if the leaked case maker renders above holds water. It will probably join the obligatory black and grey versions, as well as that Blue Coral that so many seem to be fond of. Will Samsung ever release a pinkish Note 8, or a brand new color altogether, remains ...
Google Gboard for iOS now integrates Maps, YouTube, and a drawing feature
Gboard, Google's official keyboard app, received an update earlier today, although only on iOS.
iPhone and iPad users who have Gboard installed on their devices can now access Google Maps and YouTube directly from the keyboard, just by tapping on the G button located on the upper left side. This way, it's easier than ever to share your current location, or maybe a funny YouTube video, with friends - without switching apps.
Another new feature that the updated Gboard (version 1.8.0) brings is called Ink - you can find it by tapping on the emoji button, then on the dedicated pen button. ...

It's not a Vin Diesel movie: iPhones worth more than half a million stolen from a moving truck
Dutch police have arrested five men suspected in the theft of iPhones worth more than half a million US dollars, but it's not just the sheer amount of iPhones stolen: the men have allegedly pulled off a Fast and Furious stunt to make it happen. Driving a modified van near the truck loaded with the iPhones, one of the men broke into the truck while it was moving and started throwing boxes with iPhones into the van.
The five man, all with their origins in the Eastern European country of Romania, were arrested at a holiday park in central Netherlands ...
Tidy homescreens: do you use folders to store your app shortcuts? How many?
Nowadays, there are tons of apps on the app stores and they all do something awesome. From image editors, to music software, crazy camera modifiers, chats, social media apps, games, the list goes on and on. And with so much storage on our phones, it's easy to get... really overboard with how much content we install!
Now, some phones don't have the benefit of an app drawer (yeah, looking at you, iPhone, but also some black sheep Androids), and all of those apps splurge across a multitude of homescreens. Even if you have an app drawer, you might feel better to have most of them on a homescreen ...

Nokia 9 (Nokia 8?) specs found on GFXBench listing
The reborn Nokia brand's Android flagship is still a couple of weeks away, or so we believe. HMD Global has announced a special event on August the 16th and while we don't know what it's going to be about, leaks and reports heavily suggest the Nokia 9 (or Nokia 8, or both, it's still a bit fuzzy) is to be revealed.
So, not much is known about it yet, but leaked renders show a dual camera setup and a home button with an embedded fingerprint scanner, neighbored by a couple of capacitive navigational keys — pretty standard, go-to design for a solid Android phone. Price is said to be around ...

BlackBerry KEYone now available in physical Sprint retail stores
Sprint is the carrier to go in the United States if you are looking for exotic phones. The nation's fourth largest mobile operator also sells the newest BlackBerry KeyOne phone, one of very few in 2017 to have a full QWERTY keyboard.
But up until now, you could only buy the BlackBerry KeyOne online, and you could not find it in Sprint's physical retail stores. This changes today, as the carrier is bringing the phone to its network of brick and mortar stores, and you can just walk in and get yours.

LG V30 schematic leaks: Dual rear camera remains a staple, but no sign of a secondary display
With the LG V30 slated for an August 30 announcement, it's only natural for more and more leaks and rumors to start popping out. The latest one is what's claimed to be an excerpt from the phone's manual and gives us a rather nondescript look at LG's soon-to-come handset.
It doesn't take a genius to spot the similarities between the V30 schematic and the company's G6 flagship – we've got the same slim bezels all-around the front, with the top and bottom one a bit more pronounced, a dual-camera at the rear, and last but not least, what seems to be a 9:18 FullVision display. ...
Samsung is making a high-end flip phone that looks like a Galaxy S8, but there's a catch
You might not see many (if any at all) flip phones around these days, but that does not mean that the form factor is dead.
In fact, Samsung is preparing to release a brand new high-end flip phone that features Galaxy S8-like styling. At least according to these leaked pictures that portray what looks a nearly finalized device. Keep in mind, though, that Samsung has not officially confirmed the existence of the model just yet.
The new Samsung flip phone carries model number SM-G9298, and the particular model pictured here ...

Kuo: LG is going to make OLED screens for Apple's 2018 iPhones
Industry sources have been tipping that Apple might move to OLED for good, and is looking to diversify with LG as a supply alternative to Samsung, fronting it no less than $2.7 billion as an advance payment for securing a production line dedicated entirely to iPhone displays, starting in 2019. Where there is smoke, there is fire, and now famed Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI Securities is confirming in his own turn that Apple is indeed working with LG on OLED panel supplies, and sooner.

First screenshot from the Essential Phone shows one weird looking status bar
People have argued a lot about whether the Essential Phone's display cutout is ugly or not — so much so, that they've missed another, more important question: how will it impact the user interface? Having a tall hole at the top of your screen certainly doesn't sound like the best idea, though, the device seems to compensate for this by making the status bar extra tall.
And all that is good and well: real-life footage seems to indicate this won't be that big of a big problem, thanks in large part to the tall aspect ratio of the display. However, potential Essential Phone ...
The LG Q6 is launching around the world starting this week, fingerprint scanner not included
LG today announced that its Q6 - a smartphone initially unveiled a few weeks back - is officially launching in markets around the world starting this week. The handset will first be available in South Korea (LG's home country), followed by countries in Asia, Europe, and "the Americas." Right now, we don't know if this means the Q6 will be landing in the US anytime soon, but we'll be contacting LG about this, and update the story if necessary.
LG says that the Q6 will be sold "at an exceptional price that discerning millennials can appreciate." Not long ago, we heard that the new smartphone ...

Former Google VP says he'll never buy an Android phone for taking pictures, recommends an iPhone
According to Gundotra, the main reason Android smartphones can't have great cameras, as opposed to the iPhone 7, would be the fact that it's open source and must remain “neutral to all parties.”
Here is the problem: It's Android. Android is an open source (mostly) operating system that has to be neutral to all parties. This sounds ...

Here's how to enable a bottom navigation bar in your Chrome browser (Android tutorial)
It's no news that phones have been growing in size for a few years now, but they are now growing taller too, making one-hand usage a living hell.
Thankfully, whenever hardware obstructs ease of use, software gets in the way and provides users with ways of making things easier. Google's own Chrome, which is easily one of the most popular browsers around, has a bevy of features that aim to make your experience better, and one of these is none other than the experimental bottom-positioned navigation bar. At least on Android, that is!
