Realme is reportedly preparing to launch a new smartphone dubbed A1 in early 2019 that will sit between the Realme C1 and the Realme U1. According to unconfirmed sources the Realme A1 will be available in Black and Yellow.

Moto G7 Supra for Cricket surfaces with a regular notch

According to a press render, obtained by Evan Blass, Cricket will launch one of the Moto G7 phones under the name Moto G7 Supra. Judging by the regular notch and going by recent unconfirmed renders the phone in the image is either the Moto G7 Play or Moto G7 Power. The Moto G7 and G7 Plus appear to have water drop-styled notches. This would mean that the Moto G7 Supra will have a single (most likely 12MP) camera and fingerprint scanner on the rear, a single (likely 8MP) selfie camera on the front and a 4,000mAh battery on the inside. It could use a Snapdragon 632 chipset. If the...

More Nokia 9 case renders solidify penta-camera design

We are getting closer to the Nokia 9 becoming more than vaporware. Although still without official acknowledgement from the phone maker, a supposed Nokia 9 is said to feature a penta-camera setup that might carry Nokia's "PureView" branding to the next level. Today, a new case render leak shows us a couple more angles of the alleged Nokia 9. The renders are in line with previous case images that we've seen. All renders have seven holes: enough for five cameras, one flash, and one for optic sensors. There's also a mic-hole just above penta-cam setup in these new renders and previous...

A new commit spotted in Chromium's Gerrit source code management reveals that Google intends to transition its web portal for sending and receiving SMS and MMS messages.

To do this, all you have to do is head to Messages.Android.com. However, the new commit suggests that Google will be transitioning users to a...
