Teaser suggests deca-core CPU and dual camera setup for Xiaomi Redmi Pro

Xiaomi has released a couple of official teasers for the soon-to-be-unveiled Redmi Pro smartphone. First teaser, which is basically a video teaser (link at the end), shows a chef cooking an "OLED PING," suggesting that the phone will feature an OLED display. The second teaser, when literally translated from Chinese, reveals dishes like "ten nuclear double stem head" and "brushed gold potato" being prepared. Reports say this could possibly indicate that the Redmi Pro will be powered by a deca-core processor and feature a dual camera setup. If you compare, this is inline with what...

Meizu MX6 scores 3.2 million registrations in one day

The Meizu MX6, which was made official by the company on July 19, received more than 3 million registrations (3.2 million to be precise) in just a day.

Unlimited Verizon subscribers who "extraordinary" amount of data will be given an ultimatum

That's right, Verizon subscribers who are on a grandfathered data plan and using obscene amounts of data will be given an ultimatum. These customers who are guilty of gobbling up lots of data will be contacted through their bill system and a letter in the mail. It's not known what Verizon constitutes as an "extraordinary" amount of data. But it's even possible (for example) that there a few off-contract subscribers with unlimited plans who don't have internet at home and rely on their Verizon line for all their connected needs. These customers could rack up anywhere from 50 to 200...

Moto Z (XT1650) being imported into India

Before mentioning the import documents, I just want to shine some light on the rumors about a 2016 Moto X with the model number ‘XT1650' which claim to be a 2016 MOto X with dual cameras.

Since we didn't know what model this was, it was assumed to be a Moto X with two cameras. Here's where it gets interesting. We got both the Moto Z Droid and Moto Z Force Droid devices from Verizon last Thursday, which carry the...
