Google has banned services that offer predatory personal loans from the Play Store. The change was quietly revealed on the company's 'restricted content' policy page, which now lists high-interest loan services among the types of apps no longer allowed in the store, including certain payday loan apps, ones offering access to peer-to-peer loans, title loans, and similar.
Images of the Google Pixel 4 and Google Pixel 4 XL were leaked today in front, back, and from the side. These devices will be released in both 5.7-inch and 6.3-inch display sizes and will sport the latest in Android 10 technology (Google's latest version of the epitomes mobile operating system). This Pixel 4 family of devices is expected to be revealed officially on the 15th of October, 2019.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite was revealed in a leak today as a slightly lesser relative to the already on-sale Galaxy Note 10 and 10 Plus. The newest version of the Galaxy Note 10 will be sold in a tier lower than that of the Galaxy Note 10+ with its 6.8-inch display, and lower than that of the 6.3-inch display-toting Galaxy Note 10. This newest Galaxy Note 10 Lite will apparently bring the S Pen to a whole new audience.

The rest of the article continues as follows: Today the Pokemon GO game code was updated in a variety of different ways, the lot of which we'll be running down below.
A select number of Android users over the past day have seen Google show them a pop-up with an image of a Google Home Mini. This pop-up - or block, rectangle, whatever you'd like to call it - included the following text. "Enjoy a gift for using the Google Assistant," said the Google note, with the one catch: "Just pay for shipping."
Today we're looking a the 4 best apps awarded by Google for their 2019 Material Design Award. This is an award series the company works with each year to show the world what an ideal app should look like in the Material Design universe. These apps are all made for Android, but aren't necessarily restricted to the Android ecosystem.
OnePlus started out as the rebel that refused to settle for the status quo. Initially, that applied to the combination of hardware and prices but the once small startup wants to make sure everyone knows that "Never Settle" also applies to the entire Android experience, including updates. It has worked to provide the latest Android version to its faithful fans, even to the slightly old models like the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T. Unfortunately, owners of those phones will have to wait for their turn at Android 10.
The media frenzy around the Galaxy Fold has seemingly died out a bit. The jury is already out with the verdict and while Samsung's redesigned foldable phone is indeed stronger than the first, it's still a fragile expensive piece of technology. Which is also why Samsung has come up with a new "customer experience" which is basically just an amped-up customer and repair service. But spin it any which way, the Galaxy Fold will still be extremely difficult to repair, which also explains how much Samsung will be charging for such services in the long run.
Today we're looking at the OnePlus 7T Pro with specific emphasis on what's changed from earlier this year. Earlier this year the company released the OnePlus 7 Pro, a device with a 6.67-inch full-screen display with a mechanical pop-up front-facing camera. Now there's a OnePlus 7T Pro with almost identical specs - and it will not launch in the USA.
OPPO today announced the next phone in its Reno line, and it sounds like it'll be quite the doozy. Officially dubbed the Reno Ace, this new phone has a decent amount of high-end hardware, but most impressive are OPPO's claims about charging. Specifically, OPPO says that the Reno Ace can be charged to full in just a half-hour.
Motorola is a name that stirs up memories of good old times but it seems that nostalgia is all that the company is worth these days. In the smartphone market especially, Motorola has failed to come up with new models that will enrapture consumers beyond certain one-hit wonders. Instead, it seems to have resorted to what other OEMs are doing and flooding the market with multiple variants of the same theme. The latest in that lineup is the Motorola One Macro and while it might never see a wider release outside of India, very few might mind that at all.
The Galaxy Note and Europe have had an odd relationship. Not too long ago, Samsung decided that the European market didn't need or want an S Pen phablet. Times have changed, of course, and the Galaxy Note line is a bit more global now. Now it seems that Samsung is again making an exception for the region as rumors of a cheaper, mid-range Galaxy Note continues to surface, this time including even the colors for the still-mysterious smartphone.
