The Oppo F series is known for its capable front-facing camera, making these handsets among the best for selfie aficionados. Now we have a successor coming and the press is already getting ready to take a look at it.
The invite isn’t really giving away much we didn’t already know. Of course the imaging has a strong focus on photography, which is what this phone is all about. The writing only says “Step up the selfie revolution”.

TL;DR
Xiaomi has announced that it’s giving away Mi 11 Ultra devices to Indian Olympic medalists. The Mi 11 Ultra is worth ~$943 in India. The bronze-winning men’s hockey team will get the Mi 11X. What if you don’t want to pay that much cash for the smartphone? Well, you could try being an Indian medal winner at the Tokyo Olympics. Yes, Xiaomi India’s Manu Kumar Jain has now announced that its 2020 Olympic medalists will receive the phone.
The camera in Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S5 was one of the features which impressed us the most during our hands on at MWC, however it seems that Samsung is having some problems with the camera’s production. Speaking with ETNews, a Samsung Electronics insider has revealed that yields for the camera’s new lens module is currently stuck at around just 20-30 percent.
Samsung originally planned to begin production of the 16 million pixel camera module a month ago.
Priced at just $250, the Huawei P8 Lite is a good entrant in the budget-friendly smartphone space, but it does fall short in some key areas when compared to its competition. Quickly becoming one of the most talked about popular categories in the Android world, budget-friendly smartphones have seen an impressive improvement in quality, while also becoming more easily available to consumers in demanding markets like the US.
Chinese OEM Huawei has some fantastic devices on offer in other key markets around the world, and now the company is making a play to get a piece of the market in the US.
The Moto G (2014) offers everything that we loved about the original, this time packing a larger display and an updated camera package, while keeping the same unbeatable price tag. If you’re in the market for a good, budget-friendly smartphone, the Moto G (2014) is one of the best mid-range smartphones you can buy. As good as the original Moto X was when it released last year, Motorola really shook up the smartphone market with its mid-range offering, the Moto G.
At a glance, it appears to be the kind of message that you can just ignore. The friendly reminder says “Your conversations are moving to Messenger,” with an explanation that soon the app will be required if you want to keep chatting with your friends. Many users are discovering that by “soon,” Facebook means, “within the next few seconds,” because although dismissing the alert brings you back to your list of conversations, tapping any one of them will take you to Messenger in the Google Play Store.
Do you wish that your current smartphone had FM tuner support? If your carrier is Sprint, we have some good news. Sprint has announced it will be bringing NextRadio FM tuners to select Android and Windows Phone devices later this year.
This probably won’t appeal to everyone, as many of us are perfectly content with using online radio or locally/cloud stored music instead. Still, for those with limited data or storage space, this could certainly be a welcome feature.
Update, June 10, 2019 (12:27PM EST): Taking to Weibo earlier today, a MIUI Experience Product Director announced the following improvements in regards to MIUI’s use of advertisements:
The company has already reduced the number of places in MIUI where advertisements are served and will continue to make reductions in the next two months. The company will make sure that no “vulgar” advertisements will be shown to users, especially in the notifications.
Now that Google has come official with this news, it is time to announce that Google is no longer going to be selling the Nexus 7. That’s right, for all intents, the 7-inch Android tablet that has been the benchmark of Google’s vision for Android in a tablet, is no more.
Over the weekend, Google rather silently pulled the Nexus 7 from the online store, leaving just the Nexus 9 when searching for a tablet in the Google Store.
