Apple Watch Series 4 Leaks; Edge to Edge Display, Dense Watch Face, and More
Yet another Apple leak has made its way out into the wild, once again courtesy of 9to5Mac who have got a hold of a press image for the Apple Watch Series 4 that the Cupertino giant is expected to launch at its event on September 12 , press invites for which have already been sent out earlier today. The leaked image shows off an Apple Watch with some major changes, most importantly, the fact that it has a much bigger, edge to edge display — something that has been rumored for a while — and Apple has reduced the bezels to fit this 15% bigger screen on the Apple Watch Series 4. There’s also a new watch face with an analog clock and it’s rather information dense. There are 8 complications on the watch face itself, and we’re sure Apple will have designed a bunch of other new watch faces as well (hopefully not another mickey mouse one though). On the side, we can see that the digital crown has been redesigned from the Series 3 , and it has a red ring instead of a big red blotch on what
BlackBerry KEY2 LE With SD636, Physical Keyboard Unveiled at IFA 2018
BlackBerry and its iconic physical keyboards have finally become accessible to a lot more users with the launch of the much-awaited BlackBerry KEY2 LE at IFA 2018 in Berlin. It’s been priced starting at $399 and will go on sale next month. The BlackBerry KEY2 LE is a less powerful and cheaper variant of the BlackBerry KEY2 flagship smartphone, which was launched earlier in June as an upgrade over TCL Communication’s KEYone. The highlight here is that it brings the QWERTY keyboard to users who felt the KEY2 was priced too steeply for their liking. Note : For those unaware, TCL Communication is the company leading the charge of the Blackberry brand and its mobile phones (no in India though). BlackBerry KEY2 LE: Key Specs The BlackBerry KEY2 LE, as you can above, has retained the core aesthetic of the KEY2, but building an affordable device does come with its sacrifices. The KEY2 LE sports a polycarbonate body in comparison to the metal build of TCL’s flagship. As for the phys
2018 iPhone Press Image Leaked, Will be Called iPhone XS
A short while after Apple sent out press invites for its annual iPhone launch event which has now been confirmed to be taking place on September 12, press images of the huge 6.5-inch iPhone, and the 5.8-inch iPhone have leaked out. The leak comes courtesy of 9to5Mac and shows the two new iPhones in a Gold color that we saw with last year’s iPhone X when it passed through FCC, but was never made available for sale. This time around though, it seems as though Apple will let customers buy the new Gold variant in at least the two, more expensive, OLED display touting iPhones that are expected to be priced around $899 and $999 . The report from 9to5Mac also claims that the new iPhones (both the 5.8-inch and the 6.5-inch variants) will be called iPhone XS — a name that I’ve been quietly hoping was incorrect thanks to the sheer weirdness that is the naming scheme that might follow. However, 9to5’s tipster Guilherme Rambo has been exceedingly accurate with his leaks around iPhones, and i
Apple Sends Out Press Invites for the 2018 iPhone Launch Event
Keeping with tradition over the last few years, Apple has sent out press invites for the official unveiling of the new 2018 iPhones. The event, as was previously expected, will take place on the 12th of September at the Steve Jobs Theatre in Apple Park. The invitation comes with a circular ring design printed on top that looks to be a representation of Apple’s brand new office building, along with the words ‘Gather Round.’ The event will be taking place starting at 10 am, and will be live streamed on Apple’s website for everyone to follow along as Apple unveils the next generation of its iPhone lineup. As for what we’re expecting to see at the event, there are reports of three new iPhone variants this time around with the lowest-end variant seeing an aggressive pricing of $699. We’re also expecting to see a brand new Apple Watch Series 4 with slimmer bezels , along with the company (finally) launching its AirPower wireless charging mat that it showed off last year during the offi
Tez’s Rebrand to Google Pay Starts Rolling Out to Some Users
Just when Google’s India-focused payments platform – Tez was set to celebrate its first anniversary, it was declared that it’ll be rebranded to Google Pay to unify the company’s payment efforts. This announcement came earlier this week at the fourth edition of the Google for India event but it now seems like the Google Pay rebrand has started rolling out to Tez users . Yes, the tech giant has updated the payments app to v17 to include the Google Pay insignia, as well as branding across the app. This is just the first step taken by the tech giant towards building its payments platform in India, paving the way for its expansion beyond UPI transactions. As you can see in the screenshots above, the rebrand doesn’t mean that the Tez app is changing its core functionality right off the bat. The new Google Pay rebrand looks and works the same as before , except for a few trivial things that may have been moved around a little. Currently, you can only attach your UPI account to Google Pa
Telegram Updates Privacy Policy; Will Disclose User Information on Court Order
Amidst an ongoing tiff with the Russian government which has led to a ban on Telegram in the country, the company has made some changes to the messaging platform’s privacy policy which makes Telegram less secure for terrorists. The company has updated Telegram’s privacy policy to comply with the new GDPR laws imposed by the European Union. The update privacy policy states that ‘ If Telegram receives a court order that confirms you’re a terror suspect, we may disclose your IP address and phone number to the relevant authorities’. So far, Telegram has not been ordered by a court to reveal the IP address and phone number of Telegram users who are suspects of terrorist activities. However, Telegram mentions that if the need arises, the company will comply with the judicial orders and will also publish the details of the whole incident in an official transparency report. The company claims that the new move won’t jeopardize with the security aspect of Telegram, however, it will make th
Here’s a First Look at the Mi Mix 3; Coming in October
After Honor launched the Honor Magic 2 , it seems Xiaomi is trying to hog the spotlight from the company’s brand new Kirin 980 boasting smartphone. Xiaomi co-founder and President, Bin Lin has just posted a teaser image of the Mi Mix 3 on Weibo . The image shows a device that’s very obviously the successor to the Mi Mix 2 we have right now, and it shows a device that finally does away with the god-awful selfie camera placement on the chin of the device. Judging by the image, it looks like the device will be almost entirely bezel-less from all four sides , and won’t feature a notch with Xiaomi opting to go with an Oppo Find X like slider for the selfie camera. Speaking of which, the image shows a device with two sensors on the front , which could either be a dual selfie camera, or it could be a selfie camera along with a sensor for something like IR facial recognition, or (hopefully) a Mi 8 Explorer Edition like facial recognition feature. Previous rumors have suggested a complet

According to him, ‘Magic’ holds a special no-compromise element within the company, and after the Magic was the first smartphone with AI, the new Magic 2 will also introduce a number of firsts. While there weren’t any details shared about the device, Zhao did announce that the Magic 2 will be powered by the company’s upcoming flagship processor, the Kirin 980 , which is the world’s first 7nm processor and will be unveiled later at Huawei’s keynote presentation. However, apart from the SoC, the big thing with the Magic 2 will be the totally FullView display – with the camera and speake
