Huawei P10: fingerprint scanner should be on the front slides

Front or back of the page? The HUAWEI P10 could be the fingerprint scanner for the first time to the front wheel slip. So far the Chinese manufacturer placed the scanner for all his flag ships on the back.

This Huawei P9 is just in the market, since diving first again rumours to the supposed successor to the Huawei P10. These concern the fingerprint scanner for Huawei smartphones traditionally on the rear side of the device to be found. But according to a Tip Sensor, according TechBuffalo to the Internet platform Weibo to speak this could be at the latest with the Huawei P10 are a thing of the past. Because the next flagship is the fingerprint sensor on the front of the smartphone hiking.
The Apple and Samsung are role models?

That would be the chinese more than before to manufacturers like

Lenovo promises to restore cell phone business

ZUK, one of Lenovo Group's cell phone brands established a year ago, issued a 5-inch Z2 in Beijing on Tuesday.

"Lenovo arranges enormous moves in the cell phone segment this year, " said Senior Vice-President Chen Xudong, who a year ago was named leader of Lenovo's China versatile business gathering to resuscitate its vacillating cell phone business..

The Z2 is the second dispatch of ZUK this year, took after the ZUK Z2 Pro model in April. "We are going to reveal another new item at Lenovo's TechWorld on June 9 in San Francisco, the United States," Chen included.

Declining offers of cell phones and PCs brought about the principal loss of the Chinese innovation goliath in six years.

As indicated by its yearly monetary report discharged on Thursday, the Hong Kong-recorded innovation organization enrolled a net loss of $128 million for the financial year that finished in March. Stand out year prior, Lenovo reported a benefit of $829 million.

"Taking into account our qualities in innovation advancement, Lenovo arrangements to extend our cell phone business from the segments of the item, brand and channel this year ," said Chen.

Nexus Devices Could Avoid Google's Monthly Photo Charge

Google GOOGL +1.43% may soon offer boundless uncompressed photograph and 4K video stockpiling for nothing – insofar as you're utilizing a Nexus gadget. 

As indicated by sleuths over at Android Police, the most recent variant of Google's free photograph sharing application contains content implying unequivocally that those utilizing Nexus gadgets will never again be restricted to 16 megapixel or 1080p video transfers before their media turn out to be consequently scaled back.

Clients wishing to transfer high determination pictures or video in it's unique quality right now need to subscribe to one of Google's paid stockpiling arranges on the off chance that they surpass the 15GB of free stockpiling as of now advertised. This right now remains at $9.99 every month for 1TB

Notwithstanding, it would seem that Nexus clients may soon get to be absolved from this levy inside and out.

A look profound inside the .apk record containing the most recent form of the Google Photos Android application has uncovered the accompanying content:

<string name="photos_onboarding_nexus_back_up_your_photos">With Nexus, move down all you want!</string>
<string name="photos_onboarding_nexus_back_up_your_photos_description">Unlimited free stockpiling for unique quality photographs &amp; recordings transferred from your Nexus device</string> 

These lines of code firmly propose that Nexus clients may one day have the capacity to appreciate "Boundless free stockpiling for unique quality photographs and recordings your Nexus gadget". Albeit no such usefulness has yet been affirmed, it's a solid insight that Google has some particular treatment in store for its faithful clients and maybe more yearning arrangements for its commonly calm Nexus range sooner rather than later.

The way things are, Google's 16 megapixel utmost is more than sufficient for most clients of the administration: current Nexus gadgets shoot at 12 megapixels and pictures brought with the inherent camera are in this way less influenced by the cutoff. In any case, the expulsion of the 1080p top for video would mean 4K video could now be moved down on the web.

Besides, the content in the code says "transferred from your Nexus gadget", not "shot with your Nexus gadget". This could imply that high determination pictures and video caught with a DSLR and exchanged to the telephone by means of Wi-Fi could likewise be moved down and partook in their unique quality. This could be a shelter for expert picture takers who need to share high determination pictures and significantly more valuable as an off-site reinforcement of a whole picture library – if Google somehow managed to permit it.

Obviously, this kind of thing would be considerably less demanding if Nexus gadgets upheld MicroSD cards, however you can't have everything…

ASUS ZenFone 3 looks and feels twice its cost

Intel may have as of now stopped the cell phone market, however its amigo ASUS keeps on battling the great battle with a marginally diverse methodology this year. At Computex, the Taiwanese monster declared one, as well as three new Android M cell phones: ZenFone 3, ZenFone 3 Deluxe and ZenFone 3 Ultra. These offer a typical outline dialect, however as we would like to think, it's the $249 base model that has the best appearance because of the 2.5D Gorilla Glass on both sides, and in addition the spun-metal completion on the back (underneath the glass). Together, these function admirably with any of the four shading choices: "Shine Gold," "Water Blue," "Sapphire Black" and "Moonlight White." The sandblasted metallic casing around it includes a pleasant touch, as well. 

While the ZenFone 3 doesn't highlight Qualcomm's top chipset, it's the primary telephone to authoritatively pack the mid-range Snapdragon 625 which depends on a 14nm procedure and has eight Cortex-A53 centers topped at 2 GHz, so its 3,000 mAh battery ought to last a long while. You additionally get Cat 6 LTE (300 Mbps downlink, 50 Mbps uplink), double SIM bolster (one Micro SIM and one Nano SIM), 802.11ac MU-MIMO WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2 and a mid-range Adreno 506 GPU as a major aspect of the bundle. The previously stated $249 value point offers 3GB of RAM and 32GB of interior stockpiling, and you can include more stockpiling with a microSD card by means of the second SIM space.

Like its plastic ancestor, this model elements a 5.5-inch 1080p IPS screen, however its speaker at the base has been overhauled with a noisy "5-magnet" driver controlled by a NXP shrewd amp, and it's Hi-Res Audio-guaranteed for earphone yield. Beside the speaker you'll discover a USB Type-C port - a first for ASUS telephones - with USB 2.0 availability. Another expansion is the new unique finger impression sensor on the back, where it serves as the focal point of the spun-metal completion.

The cameras have enormous influence on the ZenFone 3. The fundamental one is presently fueled by Sony's 16-megapixel IMX298 sensor (as highlighted on the Xiaomi Mi 5, Huawei Mate 8, Vivo Xplay5 and Oppo R9 Plus) with f/2.0 opening, second-gen laser self-adjust, stage recognition self-adjust, shading remedy RGB sensor, double tone LED streak, 4-pivot optical adjustment for stills and 3-hub electronic adjustment for video. Oh, the exchange off here is that you'll need to manage with the camera knock.

The same old low light mode (joins four pixels into one to help affectability) and super determination mode (produces 64-megapixel shots) are staying put, and you can do long introduction of up to 32 seconds or even play with the full manual mode. Concerning the front imager, it's currently a 8-megapixel camera with a 85-degree wide view, and the standard beautification elements are there for you selfie addicts.

The fancier ZenFone 3 Deluxe appears to be like the base model, with the exception of it uses an unpretentiously bended metal unibody rather than a glass back, and ASUS is to some degree glad for the way that it's figured out how to conceal the greater part of the plastic radio wire groups, leaving a tad on the chamfer. For consistency, the spun-metal look is connected to the ear pad and the button rather than the back. It additionally utilizes a 5.7-inch 1080p Super AMOLED show rather, along these lines offering 100-percent NTSC shading space, and empowering a dependably on screen highlight for some convenient data.

As you've presumably speculated, the ZenFone 3 Deluxe is fueled by a Snapdragon 820 so it likewise cats 13 LTE with tri-band transporter total (150 Mbps uplink), USB 3.0 network and Quick Charge 3.0. It additionally has a more keen camera; actually, it's the primary cell phone to utilize Sony's 23-megapixel IMX318 sensor, and separated from the additional 4K video recording support in addition to the way that the super determination mode has been knock up to 92 megapixels, the list of capabilities is generally indistinguishable to that on the ZenFone 3. Beginning at $499, you get 6GB of RAM in addition to 64GB of UFS 2.0 interior stockpiling, and there'll be a 256GB variation arriving later.

To wrap things up, the huge daddy that is the ZenFone 3 Ultra is a 6.8-inch phablet with a 1080p LCD (95-percent NTSC range), a PixelWorks iris2+ TV grade processor (for enhanced 4K playback), two speakers at the base and DTS Headphone:X 7.1 encompass sound (a world-to start with, evidently), so it's obviously made in light of sight and sound stimulation. As a reward, there's a bigger 4,600 mAh battery that can demonstration reverse charge different gadgets over a 1.5A current.

To keep it moderately reasonable ($479 with 4GB RAM and 64GB stockpiling), however, the ZenFone 3 Ultra uses only an octa-center Snapdragon 652 (which is somewhat more capable than the ZenFone 3's chipset) so there's no USB 3.0 here, yet despite everything you get Cat 6 LTE, 802.11ac WiFi and Quick Charge 3.0. The cameras are additionally indistinguishable to those on the ZenFone 3 Deluxe, and the unique finger impression peruser is setting down deep roots, however it's been moved from the back to beneath the screen. Not awful at all at this cost point, so it's simply an issue of whether you approve of conveying such a brutal telephone.

We'll be looking out for discharge dates for each of the three models. Until then, stay tuned for our hands-on.

Project Ara lives: Release the modular Phones in 2017

Yes, it's still alive! At the Google I / O 2016, the search engine giant has first raised back to the modular smartphone Project Ara long time. A retail version of the mobile phone to celebrate his release in 2017 finally.

2013 unveiled Google the first time that the company is working under the codename Project Ara on a modular smartphone - 2017 is now possible to buy a retail version of the mobile phone finally. That explained Google on Friday to its developers conference I / O and also launched a new equal Ara website. An early prototype of Project Ara should even appear in the autumn 2016th but price and exact release dates are not fixed yet.

Project Ara: sleeps six freely selectable modules
At the Google I / O 2016 working prototype of Project Ara was immediately presented. The highlight of the smartphone, the user can use their own modules on the back, for example, other hardware components or speakers if desired. With an "OK Google" command Project Ara raises the modules even from himself. The Android smartphone has a total of six module slots, which are all connected by the standard Unipro. Compared to the first prototype, the new project ara model unequal quality and noble acts. At least in the development version, however, battery, processor and display are not interchangeable.

For the development of the modular smartphones the project, according to The Verge also from Google's Advanced Technology and Projects group (ATAP) is dissolved out and gets with Rick Osterloh also still the same a new hardware-chief. Project Ara is the first smartphone that Google is building their own. The Nexus devices of the search giants have so far always made by partners such as Huawei, HTC or LG. LG already has with the LG G5 Although a modular smartphone, the basic principle about the camera module Cam Plus works there but slightly different.

HTC 10: Recharging problems with other adapters

To all owners of HTC 10: Invite your smartphone better only with the supplied cable plus adapter! Although the Taiwanese top model relies on the USB standard C, it does not seem namely to be compatible with the USB C-chargers other Android phone or tablet.

The HTC 10 is obviously quite intrinsically regard to charge the battery. As the Android Central editor Jerry Hildenbrand found by accident, the store with an incompatible charger can even be dangerous. The tech expert stöpselte be HTC 10 by mistake to the charging cable of its Google pixel C, left the house and found an extremely hot device when he came back home. The hot smartphone had turned also, and would not start again. To his surprise, however, it could be revived after a period of cooling in the refrigerator. But what had happened?

Quick Charge 3.0 versus USB Type-C
Jerry Hildenbrand suspects that his HTC has 10 the wrong charger never stopped to load - until it was extremely hot and abschaltete itself. His colleague made another discovery: he wanted the new flagship smartphone from HTC with the charger cable and adapter of a different USB Type-C unit load, then spat the HTC 10 an error message. It recognized apparently an incompatible charger, stopping the charging process.

Load HTC 10 LG G5 only through the cable
That the HTC model - and probably also the LG G5 - are better loaded with their supplied charging cables and adapters, is, according to Google engineer Benson Leung on fast charging standard, the support both models. How Pocket Now writes, has Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 standard specifications other than the ordinary USB Type-C standard. It remains unclear however why the HTC 10 sometimes invites with foreign chargers and sometimes not. To prevent damage, but you should rely definitely on the supplied accessories.

iPhone, Galaxy and Co .: The Edukators

Apple sold the first time less iPhones. But the smartphone boom is over, not only in Cupertino, as current market figures show. The search for the next hype, meanwhile, has already begun.

The boom seems to be over for iPhone and Samsung Galaxy.

So now it's happened. Just a day after Apple admitted for the first time that the iPhone sales not grow indefinitely in the air, on Wednesday and the market research firm IDC's analysis of the smartphone market presented in the first quarter of 2016 and even there the numbers speak for themselves: the growth has come to a standstill and the Edukators.

The end of the big boom
334.9 million smartphones were sold in the first three months of the year. This is still an absurdly high number and even 0.2 percent more than last year. Given the cracks that have been achieved in the past in sales, you still have to speak of a turning point here, however. The booming market in recent years seems to have finally reached its full potential and is likely to settle in the next few years at a very high level.

Better technology at better prices
Is that a problem? For customers, it is generally only times not because they get now always better smartphones increasingly attractive prices. Were there fully equipped devices a few years ago only in the premium segment, as these are now also available as early as the middle class. However, those who spends 600 euros or more today, gets the same smartphone that so powerful and so well equipped is to stay loose for four years in operation. Sure, the next iPhone will then probably be back 50 percent faster than the current, perhaps it is also leaner and has a better camera, but honestly: Why?

Manufacturers will continue to sell large quantities of mobile phones and the customers they will continue to buy often - just as they continue to buy large numbers of televisions, computers and tablets. But if it once again get the great technological revolutions of the past for us, is questionable. OLED screens, curved displays, borderless screens, waterproof equipment, pressure-intensive display, dual cameras - all of which have been around, all this will probably not encourage buyers to great jubilation storms.

China eats market shares of Samsung and Apple
Within this market, although it might still come to extensive shifts the balance of power that have emerged very clearly in the first quarter 2016, according to IDC. So the sales were made at market leader Samsung compared to last year by 0.6 percent, with Apple there were even dramatic 16.3 percent. Most other traditional manufacturers had recorded a decrease, while the winners especially young companies from China, the high-end devices usually at significantly lower prices than its competitors offer from South Korea, the US and Japan. So Huawei achieved compared to last year a sales increase of 58.4 percent. The manufacturer Oppo and Vivo even came up with an increase of 153.2 or 123.8 percent.

The next boom comes determined
The search for the next big thing is however already in full swing. After smartwatches and wearables this claim yet justly, invest tech giants like Samsung, HTC, Microsoft, Intel, Sony, Facebook, Google, Amazon and Valve already heavily in new areas such as virtual reality, augmented reality and cloud computing.

Apple has a (luxury) problem
Only Apple seems at least for now to be caught a little cold from the weather change and is still fully calibrated on iPhone. Exactly one can Tim Cook then perhaps blame: While it is the CEO succeeded in recent years, even to squeeze the last cent out of the smart phone arena and to make Apple as the most valuable company in the world, it seems at present to a vision to be missing for the period after the iPhone. But - and it was stressed enough - Apple thanks to its iPhone after all, eaten a thick cushion so that it can survive as a phase and easily find connection.

Moto G4 & Moto G4 Plus: Motorola invites to press event

However, the back should continue to consist of plastic. The internal memory 16 GB are likely the back camera to take pictures with 16 megapixels (Moto G4 Plus) and 13 megapixels (Moto G4). At least for the Moto G4 Plus also a fingerprint scanner is expected. Maybe this is also the normal Moto G4 used - after all, promised Lenovo earlier this year to bring only smartphones with such a sensor on the market.

Even on prices is already speculated. So it should give G4 to buy for 240 euros the Moto. to 280 euros for the G4 Plus are due. The release of the two smartphones could be done even in May.

Marlin & Sailfish: HTC builds Nexus smartphone for Google

The next two Nexus smartphones from Google are reportedly built in Taiwan at HTC. This at least according to the pro-leaker Evan Blass - the "leakt" right usually with his revelations.

The Nexus 5X from LG. This year, both Nexus models can come from HTC.

Per Twitter announced Pale on Wednesday evening his latest findings: "HTC builds 2 Android N-devices that are referred to internally as M1 and S1."

• Internal code name for the Nexus models: Marlin and Sailfish

The internal code name of HTC presumably based on the secret names which also Google currently uses for its two new Nexus devices: Marlin and Sailfish. At Google, there is a long tradition to miss its Nexus devices once internally maritime names. The current models 5X and 6P were formerly called Bullhead (to German: catfish) and angler (monkfish), the Nexus 6 was Shamu (a known Orca) and the Nexus 5 was Hammerhead, which is the English name for the Hammerhead. Earlier codename however, no longer appear to be in this week.

According to insiders should Google have finished with HTC a three-year deal to be build its next Nexus devices from the Taiwanese manufacturer. This year, the company has 10, a quite remarkable model introduced with the HTC - by weaker equipment in previous years. If all goes as far, then, Google's new Nexus smartphones this fall before. Last year, the presentation of the new smartphones end of September took place, which can also be 2016 again the Nexus period. In this press conference revealed Google as a great surprise, the pixel C.

More details about the new Nexus smartphones are not yet known, rumors there are hardly any, might as the successor of Nexus and Nexus 5X 6P look. Last ventured a graphic designer with a study a speculative view. However, the device looked more like the HTC 10. T were successful Google Smartphones way not because the price was lowered soon after the appearance.

LG G5 gets thanks Update finally an App Drawer

Das LG G5 bekommt nachträglich einen App-Drawer. 

The LG G5 is now one of the best smartphones on the market and let's not much room to complain in the TURN ON test. One point that experienced Android users but annoy some, is the lack of App Drawer. However, this seems to be the manufacturer now nachzuliefern as Droid Life reported.

• App Drawer comes via update

The actual user interface of the LG G5 named UX 5.0 remains untouched and is only extended to the App Drawer. Users always have the choice whether they want to use their G5 with or without App Drawer, and are subject to change this setting. In fact, there was a fix for our review unit of the LG G5 on Thursday morning directly ready. If you want to install the App Drawer for his device, has to go to the "Settings" and then the folder path "General> About Phone> Update Center> App updates" follow. There then was a new update called "Home & AppSchublade" ready for free download.

• Users can choose whether they want the Drawer

After downloading the smartphone will automatically ask if the user wants to keep the old user interface called "Home" or want to switch to the new version of "Home & AppSchublade". As mentioned before, the only difference between the two versions in the App Drawer itself. All in all a pretty good decision of LG, not completely to dispense with the App Drawer, but these offer at least optional. After all, there are many smartphone users who do not like clutter your home screen with apps.

Spotify Leak: Change now immediately all important passwords

The Leak a password list of the music service Spotify user data and passwords of users have come into circulation. Since no one knows how many accounts are affected, you should change your passwords - preferably all, if one uses identical secret words for multiple services.

Hundreds geleakter user data of the streaming service Spotify have surfaced.

Once again secret and sensitive user data reaches the public. This time, the streaming service Spotify is concerned. A list with the access of the users does not come clearly but from a hacker attack on Spotify, but of many "normal" phishing attacks. Affected are certainly hundreds of users whose email addresses were now about to change, reports TechCrunch.

Spotify Leak: number of users affected unclear
How many user accounts are affected, is unclear. InsideWeb circulating at least a few hundred cracked accounts, the total number is unknown. Apparently at least part of a phishing list with Spotify accounts has come to the public. And then other users immediately went to work and pulled some of the leaked accounts under the nail.

This is particularly annoying because Spotify is one of the suppliers, which enables the complete change of an email address, so it is very difficult to retry a once cracked account. Affected users need to contact customer service Spotify and has to try to prove that their account has been stolen.

Although Spotify should not be responsible for the leak, each user of the streaming services should clearly make that possibly his account is affected. And especially if you like a combination of user name and password used for multiple services and possibly access for Steam or Netflix - which is not advisable - you can think about to change all those passwords. Because it is known that fraudsters with even successful suits try with other major vendors. And phishing attacks are becoming more common, just recently circulated an iPhone phishing message. Who here has problems to remember a password, which can be used as a password manager.
