After the unlocked Galaxy S7 Edge received the Android Nougat update in the US last week, questions were once again raised as to the whereabouts of the same update for the Galaxy S7. Thankfully, reports are now coming in that the unlocked S7 is also receiving it.

The Samsung Galaxy Premier has had a busy schedule in the past weeks. After we caught the unofficial Nexus phone successor making a stop at Taiwan’s FCC-like agency (NCC), which hinted its impending arrival, the Premier now stars in a billboard ad alongside the rest of the Galaxy lineup in Guangzhou, China. Looking at the ad, which was first spotted by ePrice, it seems Samsung is planning to introduce two variants of the Premier: the I9260, which  we’ve known and talked about in the last couple of months, and the lesser known I9268 model.

We continue to fight the war against phone theft with kill switches, but companies like Sony have been providing theft protection for years. Sony’s My Xperia app can locate, lock, factory reset or even send a sound alert to your phone. That’s not all it does, though – if you have an unlocked bootloader, it may go as far as making your device malfunction. Those with the My Xperia Theft Protection service on their more recent high-end Sony Xperia smartphones may have noticed that using this service will get rid of the ability to unlock your bootloader.

Deutsche Telekom, the mother ship in charge of T-Mobile’s destiny, issued a press release today detailing its mobile plans for the coming years. Since T-Mobile is a big part of Deutsche Telekom, we were not surprised to see the U.S. carrier mentioned quite a few times in the document. And yes, Apple was also there. In a simple phrase towards the middle of the press release, Deutsche Telekom shyly confirmed that the iPhone is coming to T-Mobile.

To celebrate their second anniversary as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), Ting is giving U.S. customers a reason to join in the celebration, offering rate changes, including a handful of lower rates across their service levels. The focus is on savings for heavy data usage. On their blog, Ting makes it a point that this is not a promotion, they are just dropping their rates. Current users will begin to see savings on their next monthly bill and new users will receive the new rates no matter what carrier they are coming from.

Netflix‘s new gender-swapped update of 1999’s She’s All That is here, but it has some trouble grasping what worked in the original. When TikTok influencer Padgett Sawyer (genuine TikTok influencer Addison Rae) is unceremoniously dumped by her boyfriend, she bets her friends that she can turn the school’s biggest loser into the Prom King. But once she starts spending time with misanthropic Cameron Kweller (Cobra Kai’s Tanner Buchanan), she discovers his softer side and falls for him.

Would you like to use a VR headset with an image resolution that matches that of the human eye? That’s what the newly revealed Finland-based startup called Varjo claims to have made in secret. The company says it has created a VR and AR headset that can display images at a whopping 70 MP, well beyond what is currently supported by headsets such as the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, both of which show content at 1.

2015 has been an interesting year for mobile processing technology and the overarching trend in products has been wide-spread adoption of hexa-core and octa-core processors. The Snapdragon 810, 808 and Exynos 7420 are powering a range of flagship smartphones this year, while MediaTek announced the world’s first deca-core mobile SoC with its Helio X20 a few months back. Qualcomm is looking to buck this trend with its new Snapdragon 820, which is scheduled for an early 2016 appearance in mobile products, including the Galaxy S7.

TL;DR Microsoft is bringing the power of Windows Defender to the Chrome browser via an extension. Chrome already does a good job of protecting you from malware, but Microsoft says the Windows Defender Chrome extension is better.

We see a lot of smartphones launched at MWC every year, and sometimes, smaller players have had the tendency to get lost in the crowd, especially if there are any big hitters around that steal the spotlight. While that is somewhat the case this year as well, especially with HTC and Samsung introducing their respective flagships, what the other lesser known names in Android have done extremely well is to offer something unique with their products, that go beyond what their otherwise standard nature, or price point, would suggest.
