HTC has launched the HTC U11, and as previously rumored, the device doesn't have a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The company decided to ditch the headphone jack. Many might be disappointed with this decision, but lately, we are seeing more and more companies that are dumping the headphone jack.

However, HTC will pack an adapter with the phone, so you don't have to worry if you still want to use your headsets.

HTC has unveiled their highly-anticipated flagship - the HTC U11. The phone was subject to numerous leaks over the past few weeks, so there were no surprises at the launch.

The HTC U11 is powered by Snapdragon 835 and comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, expandable up to 2TB with a microSD card.

The device comes with a 12MP rear camera and a 16MP front shooter. As rumored, the phone doesn't have a headphone jack, but the company will ship adapters with the phone.

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 is preparing to launch the second generation of nova series smartphones - nova 2. The first generation yielded two devices, the nova and nova plus, but so far, there's no info if the Chinese company would announce one or two devices for the second generation.

A new report from China leaked the specs of one upcoming device, the nova 2. According to the report, the device will have 5.2-inch Full HD screen, and it will be powered by a Kirin 658 processor. There's no info about memory or storage sizes.

Samsung's Galaxy J3 (2016) was one of the best selling smartphones sold in the first three months of 2017. The device ranked fourth on the list with 6.1 million units shipped in Q1 2017.

Samsung has now unveiled a new edition, for this year, of the phone.

The Galaxy J3 (2017) is powered by an Exynos 7570 processor and comes with 1.5GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage, expandable up to 256GB with a microSD card.

The Huawei Honor 8 received a lot of positive feedback, and it seems that the company could soon unveil its successor - the Honor 9.

A new report from China claims that Huawei will unveil the device on June 20th or 21st. The same leak suggests that the phone will be priced at around $362.

The Honor 9 has been a subject of numerous leaks recently. It seems that the company decided to ditch the headphone jack, if the leaked photos are credible, of course. According to the leak, the Honor 9 will come with a dual rear camera setup, the same as the Honor 8.

HTC is set to unveil its latest flagship on May 16th. The company will hold a press event, and anyone interested can watch a live stream. You can already sign up for the stream on the company's website, and you will receive a link to the live announcement.

The Taiwanese company will announce its latest flagship a bit later than expected. The HTC 10 was announced in April last year, and it was expected that the company would launch its successor last month. However, HTC is celebrating their 20th anniversary on May 16th, so they scheduled the launch date on that day.

HTC's next phone was subject to numerous leaks over the course of eight months. We first heard about Edge Sense feature back in September last year, although it was named Sense Touch then. This rumored feature is one of the biggest changes in the new HTC flagship and phones in general.

ASUS is expected to unveil the fourth ZenFone series of smartphones later this month during Computex, held in Taipei from May 30th to June 3rd.

Rumors suggest that the company might unveil three new devices - the ZenFone 4 Max, ZenFone 4, and ZenFone 4S.

So far, only the ZenFone 4 Max information leaked. According to the leaks, this device will be the cheapest out of the three rumored to be announced at Computex, although the price is still unknown at this point.

While we still don't actually know whether or not Apple will call their new phone the iPhone 7S or iPhone 8, there are already many rumors floating around about Apple's next flagship.

We recently learned that Apple has placed orders for their A11 chip that should power the new phone, and now a well-known leaker, Steve Hemmerstoffer, who goes by OnLeaks on Twitter, has posted a rendered video of what he says depicts the upcoming iPhone based on a factory computer-assisted design schematic.

The video reveals that the upcoming iPhone could have a screen that covers almost the entire front of the device. The dual rear camera setup, which was previously aligned horizontally on the back, is now positioned vertically. A recent leak shows that the iPhone SE (2017) might also have the same rear camera alignment.

HTC is preparing for its big launch on May 16th, and we already have a pretty good idea of what to expect.

We've seen numerous leaks during the past month, but the price of the phone has remained a mystery. Up until now.

The latest report from Taiwan says that the company might open pre-orders on May 19th in Taiwan at a price of 19,900 New Taiwan dollars or around $660. This is the first time that the HTC U 11's price has been mentioned.

HTC is preparing for its big launch on May 16th and they have announced a new teaser for the upcoming flagship.

The company posted a short video which doesn't reveal much, but the caption, "360 real-life recording", might tell us something. Since the number 360 most likely indicates that we are talking about 360 degrees, this leaves us with two options - video or audio.

Earlier rumors suggest that the HTC U 11 may rock a Sony IMX362 sensor on the back with 12MP, while the selfie shooter should be a massive 16MP IMX351. Both are single-lens cameras, and it is unlikely that the phone will be able to shoot a 360-degree video.

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.

The most recent rumors claim that the refurbished Galaxy Note7 could cost 50% less than the original, meaning around $400. While Samsung still didn't comment on the date of the release, sources from China believe that the phone could hit markets within a month.

A Chinese retailer's website has already listed the Note7R (R for refurbished) on their site at a price of $520-$580. This is a little more than the latest rumors have suggested, but still significantly less than the original Note7 and previous rumors which suggested a $620 price tag.

Huawei has added two new color options for its Mate 9 - Agate Red and Topaz Blue.

The Mate 9 was announced in November last year, and up until now, it was available in seven colors - Space Gray, Moonlight Silver, Champagne Gold, Mocha Brown, Ceramic White, Black, and Obsidian Black. The two new colors options bring the total number to nine.

Aside from the colors, the new models remain identical to the already available devices, meaning that both specs and the price remain the same.

As most of you probably know, the iconic Nokia 3310 is coming back. HMD Global decided to launch a modern version of the popular device. It will still be a pretty basic phone, but re-designed. Of course, to keep the integrity of the device, the Nokia 3310 will come with the Snake game.

The company unveiled the device in Barcelona during MWC, stating that the suggested price would be 49 euros, or around $50. However, they didn't mention when the phone will be hitting markets.

Back in March, Tomislav Himbele, HMD's Head of Marketing for Eastern Europe, said that the Nokia 3310 would arrive in mid-May to early June, at least in Europe.

Apple's iPhone SE was announced in March of last year, and the company still hasn't released its successor. The sources indicate that the company is working on a worthy successor, rumored to be announced as soon as next month.

According to the latest leak from China, accompanied by a photo of the alleged iPhone SE (2017), Apple will switch from metal to glass for the new model's back.

The photo indicates that the company may be using Ion-X glass, the same material used in the Apple Watch Sport.

Earlier this year, Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy Note7 isn't quite dead yet. The company announced plans to bring back the device as "refurbished or rental phones."

A source close to the company confirmed that the phone will be back with certain adjustments. Of course, the battery will be one of them.

Gionee's next smartphone, the S10, is expected to launch sometime this year. The specs of the phone have been rumored for a while now, and recent leak gives us the best look of the phone so far.

The mentioned images showed up on Chinese Weibo and confirm that the S10 should come with dual rear and front camera setup. The back cameras are reportedly 16MP + 8MP, while the front shooter should rock 20MP + 8MP, for 'flawless selfies.' Of course, these are rumors, so take this info with a grain of salt.

The phone should come with 5.5-inch display and leaks claim that it will be powered by a MediaTek 6755 processor. There should also be 4GB of RAM on board plus 64GB of internal storage.

As we reported earlier, it seems that OnePlus intends to skip the OnePlus 4, since the number 4 is considered unlucky in China, and name their new flagship OnePlus 5. The phone is confirmed to be unveiled in the summer, with no exact date of the launch yet.

We know that the device will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835, but other specs are still a bit vague. Now, GsmArena reports that they have received "an exclusive screenshot from a very credible source," showing the OnePlus 5 benchmark scores from GeekBench.

If legit, the score is pretty impressive - 1963 single-core and 6687 multi-core. The results put OnePlus 5 on top of the list (multi-core), above the Samsung's Galaxy S8+ (with Snapdragon and Exynos) and Apple's iPhone 7 Plus.

ASUS' ZenFone 3 Zoom was officially revealed at CES alongside the ZenFone AR, but the phone wasn't available in the US, until now.

The phone has finally found its way to the US market and is available for pre-order on B&H website for $329. Back in February, we reported that the phone was available in Taiwan, at a price of $489, so in case you wanted to get the phone, the pre-order price is a good deal.

The ZenFone 3 Zoom is a 5.5-inch smartphone designed to excel at photography with a dual-camera system that comprises two 12MP cameras, one with a f/1.7-aperture, 25mm wide-angle lens and a second with a 59mm lens. Users can instantly switch from the 25mm primary camera to the 59mm camera, giving them a 2.3X optical zoom.

OnePlus has recently confirmed that they will launch the OnePlus 5, the successor to the OnePlus 3/3T, this summer. The highly-anticipated smartphone should be the company's flagship that could compete with the recently launched Galaxy S8.

The specs of the phone have leaked earlier, but the latest leak gives us the best image of the upcoming flagship so far. Two OnePlus 5 sketches have found their way to Weibo and, if legit, they confirm that the device will have a dual rear camera setup, as previously rumored.

What we didn't know until now is that the phone will apparently have a 'window' surrounding the camera are, something like Google Pixel. However, when it comes to the OnePlus 5, the window is supposed to be made of ceramic and not glass.

We recently reported that OnePlus might have discontinued the 128GB version of the OnePlus 3T. The company's official website listed the device as discontinued.

However, it seems that that phone is simply out of stock. The company's global website now changed the 128GB OnePlus 3T from 'discontinued' to 'out of stock.'

A representative from OnePlus said:
