HTC U12+ will be the company’s only flagship of 2018

HTC has eliminated a fall release slot for a premium smartphone this year, according to HTC Source.

This means that the HTC U12+ — which will be named as such on the belief that it will compete with phones that have additional, premium features like the iPhone 8 Plus and the Galaxy S9+ — will be the only flagship device of the year. It’s also partly why the device will be released closer to the…

What the Huawei P20 camera system will miss from the Pro

The primary model of the P20 series won’t be as well-equipped as the P20 pro — you’d expect that with a €120 price gap. But if you consider that you’re getting so much more for just €120, you’d have to wonder what can be done about it.

WinFuturereports from a source that the Huawei P20 will feature two cameras to the P20 Pro’s three. It will have an 12-megapixel color sensor and a 20-megapixel…

The signs have been accumulating over the past few weeks: Italian showed up among the languages supported on the Google Home, then it also was listed on third-party Assistant speakers, and just this morning plenty of Google Home support pages (like this) started saying the Home was available in Italy and speaking Italian.

No more OS updates or security patches for Nexus Player

Google didn’t exactly spark controversy with its recent announcement of no Android P updates coming to the 2015-released Nexus 5X, 6P and Pixel C. Sure, it was a sad day for users of the last two Nexus phones who somehow managed to dodge the bootloop plague, but the unfortunate news came as no surprise, as the 5X and 6P, just like the Pixel C, ran Marshmallow out the box.

That means all three…

LineageOS 15.1 Oreo arrives on the Nexus Player, two more devices get 14.1

After three years of official support, Google confirmed yesterday that the long-lived Nexus Player would no longer receive Android updates. While Android Oreo will continue to serve most users just fine, the custom ROM community will likely keep it updated for years to come.

Samsung responds] Some Galaxy S9 and S9+ units have large dead zones on the touchscreen

The touchscreen on your phone is the primary way you interact with it, so it absolutely needs to work. That makes problems like so-called “dead zones” or ignored/unregistered inputs among the most annoying out there. Based on reports, many are running into those types of touchscreen input problems with Samsung’s Galaxy S9+.

It’s tough to tell precisely how common the problem might be. Few users…

Unfortunately, Google Wifi is only available in a handful of countries, but Ireland has just been added to the list.
