Nokia says its phones sent data to China by mistake

[ad_1] The company also rejected talk that other phones would send similar data. Every Nokia phone outside of China sends device data to HMD Global servers (provided by Amazon Web Services) in Singapore, the company said, and abides by local laws. This won’t necessarily put the Finnish investigation to bed, and the claims about the […]

Huawei unveiled the P30 Pro smartphone a touch early

[ad_1] There are some interesting new details, too. The P30 Pro (and P30 to a lesser extent) will have improved low-light capability, making them better for night shooting. They’ll also pack a so-called dual-view video mode. That will show two of the four cameras at the same time in split-screen, letting you see both a […]

Shampoo magnate uses glasses-free 3D to push budget phones

[ad_1] Be ready for phones that are modest beyond the tentpole 3D feature. The Io 3D centers on a 5.45-inch, 1,440 x 720 display, a quad-core 1.3GHz MediaTek processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable storage, a rear 8-megapixel camera and a front 2-megapixel cam. Move to the Io Pro 3D and you’ll get a […]

ZTE’s all-screen Axon S phone could slide to hide its side cameras

[ad_1] Many of the phone’s specs aren’t available, although the Axon S would include 48- and 19-megapixel rear cameras, one of which would offer 5X optical zoom. You could also expect an OLED display, an under-the-screen fingerprint reader and 5G in some markets. The Axon V you see below would go a very different direction. […]

Two thirds of Android antivirus apps don’t work properly

[ad_1] In some cases, the failure is a simple one: they’re not really scanning app code. AV-Comparatives found that are just using app whitelists or blacklists, and sometimes very broad ones at that. They may allow all apps whose package files start with “com.instagram,” but it would be trivial to create rogue apps that used […]

A closer look at Vivo’s all-glass, port-free concept 5G phone

[ad_1] To jog your memory, APEX is Vivo’s line of concept phones, with the edition that was announced earlier this year being its second model. The pitch? It was some crazy all-glass “Super Unibody” sans buttons nor ports, and boy did it look slick in the press shots. It wasn’t until yesterday — weeks after […]

Google’s repair center will finally take your Pixel 3

[ad_1] The repair center page still points Pixel 3 owners to physical locations. However, a Google spokesperson told Android Police in a statement that “all generations” of Pixels are covered. It’s “in the process” of updating the repair page to match. It’s arguably an overdue move when the Pixel 3 has been on the market […]

Apple will add 1,200 jobs in Qualcomm’s hometown

[ad_1] It’s still early — Apple hasn’t even decided on a location for an eventual campus. Nearly 200 of the planned employees will be working in San Diego before the end of the year, though. While Apple hasn’t signaled just what its new San Diego hires will produce, they might focus on modems. The firm […]

Samsung Galaxy S10 teardown shows what’s behind the hole-punch display

[ad_1] The dissection also shows the stealthily integrated ultrasonic fingerprint reader, although it might be too well-integrated for DIY repair fans when you’ll likely have to replace the main display at the same time. And as clever as the hole-punch display may be, it’s relatively straightforward underneath. Not surprisingly, the S10 isn’t what you’d call […]

Pirelli app gives track day drivers a digital pit crew

[ad_1] Announced at the Geneva Motor Show, Pirelli’s “Track Adrenaline” technology uses telemetry and tyre data to identify and tell the driver when it’s time to warm up tires, when they’re prime for a flying lap, and when it’s time to come back to the pits for a tire change. The system uses a GPS-equipped […]
