Huawei has launched another MediaPad tablet, the mid-range MediaPad M3 Lite 10.

The tablet comes with a 10.1-inch IPS display and 1920 x 1200 resolution. The M3 is powered by a Snapdragon 435 with octa-core CPU and comes in three options: 3GB of RAM + 16GB of internal storage, 3GB of RAM + 32GB of storage, and 4GB of RAM + 64GB of storage.

The MediaPad M3 Lite has an 8MP rear camera, and the front one comes with the same number of pixels. The tablet runs on Android Nougat with Huawei's EMUI 5.1.

The OnePlus 5 is one of the most anticipated devices this year, and the company has confirmed its launch for the summer.

However, up until now, we didn't know the exact date of its unveiling. Now, a leaked poster claims that the company plans to announce the OnePlus 5 on June 15th.

The poster doesn't mention OnePlus 5, but we are close to the launch, so it makes perfect sense that it refers to the OnePlus 5.

Qualcomm is continuing to evolve its charging standard, unveiling Quick Charge 4+ just 6 months after it unveiled Quick Charge 4. The new Quick Charge 4+ standard has some impressive new enhancements for new smartphones.

Quick Charge 4+ doesn't require a new chipset, and instead accessory manufacturers can add in the new enhancements to Quick Charge 4 capable devices:

Qualcomm have said that Quick Charge 4+ devices can charge 15% faster than QC4, and they'll charge up to 30% more efficiently. Better yet, charging will be 3C cooler (5F or so). We won't see these features with a software patch into existing devices, as they're hardware enhancements.

In a render of the rumored iPhone 8, someone has compared the rumored size of the upcoming iPhone 8 to all of the major phones currently in the market. This includes the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, Galaxy S8 and S8+, LG G6, Note7, Google Pixel and Pixel Plus.

Based on this rumored side by side render, you can see that the new iPhone 8 is expected to be slightly larger than the current iPhone 7, but with a much larger edge to edge display.

During the ASUS Computex 2017 Press Conference, ASUS announced two new versions of their ZenPad 10 Android tablet.

Both tablets are powered by a MediaTek MT8735 processor with slight performance differences.

The faster of the two ZenPad 10 tablets has a 1080P panel and a 1.4GHz processor paired with 2GB or 3GB of RAM as well as 32GB or 64GB of storage capacity. To keep costs down, ASUS has only included a 5MP main camera and a 2MP front-facing camera on the ZenPad 10 with an expected battery life of 10 hours.

Essential, the company created by Android founder Andy Rubin, recently launched their much-awaited smartphone, the PH-1 (PH-One or Phone).

The PH-1 currently sells for $699 but is available with a 360-degree camera attachment for $749. However, even though we have known the price of the PH-1, we had no idea when it would actually be available. You could go on the Essential site and 'reserve' an Essential PH-1 without knowing when it would ship or arrive.

That wait is over now, thanks to Andy Rubin's interview and informal launch at the Code Conference put on by Recode.

Computex is a crazy show, every year there are numerous announcements from all of the biggest tech companies in the world. ASUS is no exception to this, in fact, they held two separate press conferences this year to space out their announcements.

This week without much fanfare ASUS launched a new ZenPad tablet, the ZenPad 3S 8.0. It features a Snapdragon 652 processor and 4GB of RAM with a less expensive 3GB model as well.

ASUS has also upgraded the storage capacity to 32 or 64GB from the previously offered 16 and 32GB of the ZenPad 3 8.0.

OPPO's upcoming R11 has been subject to numerous leaks in the past week. The company will officially announce the device on June 10th, but they have decided to publish a teaser to put an end to leaks and speculation.

The video shows the phone in its full glory, and it confirms that the device will come with dual rear camera setup, as rumored. The dual camera is previously rumored to have 16MP + 20MP, while the front shooter should come with a lofty 20MP.

The earlier rumored color options, black, gold, and pink have also been confirmed in the video.

Back in February, alongside the Nokia 3310, HMD Global announced three Android smartphones - the Nokia 6, 5, and 3. The devices are mid to low-range phones, but the company believes that they might become popular between customers.

However, when the phones were announced, the company didn't have the answer to when and where they will be available.

Now, the company has finally announced that the three smartphones will hit markets around the world before the end of June.

OnePlus 5 is one of the most-anticipated smartphones this year, and we don't have to wait much longer for its official launch planned for the summer.

However, if you want to get your hands-on the phone before the company launches, and even finalizes the device, you can. OnePlus has started an initiative called 'The Lab.' The company wants to receive customer's feedback about the OnePlus 5's camera.

OnePlus will give away ten OnePlus 5 devices to people willing to work with them and give them feedback.

While we are waiting for the launch of OPPO's long-rumored flagship, the Find 9, the company is all set to unveil another smartphone - the R11.

Earlier this month, a poster leaked revealing the most likely launch date, June 10th. Now, images of the phone have leaked confirming that the R11 will come with a rear dual camera setup.

The dual camera is previously rumored to have 16MP + 20MP, while the front shooter should come with 20MP.

Instead of teasing users of what the phone will look like, as we've seen from numerous leaks, OnePlus is instead teasing the abilities of the phone itself. The ability that OnePlus is showing off is the phone's photography performance and image quality.

This is important because OnePlus has teased that the OnePlus 5 will have a great camera thanks to their partnership with DxO, the photography benchmark experts.

In the teaser, OnePlus asks users to guess which of the photos was captured by the OnePlus 5. This allows users to get an idea of what the camera performance could be like before they buy it.

Andy Rubin, the co-founder of Android, and his company Essential Products have just unveiled their first smartphone - Essential.

As rumored, the phone rocks an almost bezel-less design, similar to the Xiaomi Mi MIX. The design is the first thing you'll notice on this phone, and it's absolutely stunning. The device is made of titanium and ceramic, with no logos meaning that it is unlikely to scratch, ever. The phone will come in four colors - Black Moon, Stellar Grey, Pure White, and Ocean Depths.

The device is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor, which puts it the same class as the Galaxy S8 and HTC U11. The phone comes with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

According to the latest leaks from infamous leaker Evan Blass, the latest LG V30 could actually feature a unique approach to having dual displays.

While Evan Blass states that this is just a conceptual render and that the V30 may not ever end up having this feature, its still a possibility they moved forward with it.

Traditionally, the LG V series has been a dual-display larger flagship device with the V10 and V20 both featuring a smaller 'ticker' style OLED display to show notifications and persistent icons at lower power. However, with this concept, it appears possible that LG has gone with a more unique approach to dual displays with a sliding concept that could theoretically make the display on the phone larger without compromising the size of the device.

A couple of weeks ago, Qualcomm accidentally revealed the name of its upcoming platform, the Snapdragon 845. The SoC is rumored to power next year's flagship phones, such as the Galaxy S9.

We already heard that Samsung and Qualcomm are in talks to determine exactly which models will ship with the new Snapdragon inside.

The latest report suggests that LG is also interested in the Snapdragon 845 for its G7, which should be announced next year. Earlier this year, the company launched the LG G6 powered by last year's Snapdragon 821, which was a bit unexpected considering that this year's flagships are being powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835.

It has been rumored that the Galaxy C10 might be Samsung's first smartphone with a dual camera setup. The upcoming Galaxy Note8 should also have a dual camera, but apparently, the Galaxy C10 will be launched before the Note device.

A popular leaker has now published a rendered video giving us the first look at the upcoming smartphone. The video is based on information leaked earlier.

The video shows a vertically positioned dual rear camera setup, but there's no news about the phone's specs. According to the report, the Galaxy C10 will also have a Bixby button and a fingerprint sensor on the front of the device.

The Galaxy Note7 was discontinued back in October last year, but earlier this year we learned that Samsung plans to release a refurbished version of the device.

A Chinese retailer's website has already listed the Note7R (R for refurbished) on their site at a price of $520-$580, and now a first image of the Galaxy Note7 has been caught in the wild.

A photo of the Note7 appeared on Twitter, and it shows that the phone looks identical to the original Note7 device. This isn't surprising since earlier reports didn't mention anything about the company re-designing the phone.

Gionee has launched three new smartphones. The phones are a part of their S-series and range from high-end to entry-level devices.

The Gionee S10 is the best of the announced phones. It is powered by MediaTek's Helio P25 chipset with an octa-core processor and comes with 6GB of RAM. There's also 64GB of expandable storage on board and a 3,450 mAh battery.

The phone comes with dual rear and front camera setup. The main camera has 16MP + 8MP sensors, while the front shooter features 20MP + 8MP setup.

Back in September of last year, at IFA in Berlin, Huawei launched a new series of smartphones named nova (yes, with lowercase 'n').

Now, the company has announced the second generation of the nova series - the nova 2 and nova 2 plus. The biggest difference, compared to its predecessor, is that the new models come with a dual rear camera setup.

Both the nova 2 and nova 2 plus have a 12MP + 8MP rear camera and a 20MP front shooter. For a comparison, the company's latest flagship, the P10, has an 8MP selfie camera.

OPPO has started this year with good results. Its R9s was the best selling Android smartphone in Q1 2017 with 8.9 million units shipped.

But OPPO is just getting started. While we are waiting for the launch of its long-rumored flagship, the Find 9, the company is all set to unveil another smartphone - the R11.

A poster with the date of the launch has leaked to Weibo, revealing that OPPO will launch the device on June 10th. The same image shows the design of the phone and three colors options, although others might be announced too.
