Dreams do come true sometimes, and the Huawei Mate 9 Pro is a living, better working, proof of that. Huawei has unintentionally created an unsolvable dilemma during the Mate 9 announcement, only to present the solution nearly a month later.
No we aren't turning in yet another meme site - serious news is still what we will keep doing at GSMArena. Yet we though everyone could use a laugh at the end of a long week so this is our lighthearted look at some of the key event of the week. .news-item a { padding-bottom: 0; padding-left: 0; } .news-item .n-right h2, .reviews-item .n-right h2 { clear: both; padding: 0 0 3px 0px !important; font: 400 19px Google-Oswald, Arial; margin-top: -4px; } .n-right p { line-height: 155%; padding-bottom: 1em; } .news-item { position:...
The hidden gem of a smartphone Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 stays on top of our trending phones chart for 4th week in a row. Joining it on the podium are the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime and the Nokia 6 - yes, the exact same trio from last week. Yet, it's in number 4 that we find the biggest winner this week. The Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) entered the chart last week in 8th and has now climbed 4 spots making it the highest ranked phone outside of the usual suspects. There are plenty more of those, though. On its way up the A5 (2017) has nudged the Galaxy J7 (2016), Oppo F1s, and Redmi Note 3 a spot...
This time of the year it's Korean flagship rumor time, and in this instance the numbers are 8 and 6. The Samsung Galaxy S8 has been rendered on a few occasions, at least once this week too. Not just case renders, but actual cases showed up as well, seemingly official Samsung ones. Battery capacities for the S8 and S8 Plus were also mentioned, and let's just say that they don't sound overly impressive. The LG G6, on the other hand, has some official teasing action to go with the leaks - no wonder, given that its announcement is actually happening a couple of weeks from now at MWC, while the...
You are the 1%. Seriously, 70% of voters in our recent poll either already have Android 7.0 Nougat or are within weeks of getting it. That's way above average. Only 10% have installed a custom ROM to get it too. That's fewer people than those who have accepted their fate and use a pre-7.0 version of Android, 14%. It's interesting to note that some people complained about the new software. Google and phone makers did move things around, which can be annoying if you were used to how things were on Marshmallow. Then there were a few smug iOS users, secure in their update future, and...
This is the third post of a trilogy, if you aren't sure of what's going on with Verizon and Open Signal, let's briefly recap: On Wednesday, OpenSignal released a report that used raw data from its crowd-sourced speed tests to compare actual performance. The resulting report had Verizon and T-Mobile in a tie. The next day (Thursday), Verizon tweeted a response to OpenSignal's report and pretty much tried to dismiss their findings based on the methodology of crowd-sourced data, claiming that crowd-sourced data is not as good as "drive-testing" (riding around which does "a better job of...
