The latest batch of photos of a so-called iPhone 8 have been shared with the public this morning. This version of the iPhone is one of three - so the story goes - with the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus coming up first. The iPhone 8 will be the biggest and best of the three - most powerful and most advanced in the entire Apple collection of smartphones. So what makes these photos so unique?
The OnePlus 5 leaks just keep coming, it would seem. Earlier this week we saw a couple sets of benchmarks that listed internal hardware for the highly anticipated phone, first from Geekbuying over the weekend and then from AnTuTu on Monday. Today, however, we're seeing a purported OnePlus 5 prototype in the flesh thanks to a new leaked image.
With so many leaks hitting for the upcoming OnePlus 5, it's hard not to get excited. Though the phone hasn't been given an in-depth reveal yet, the constant stream of rumors and leaks have only helped anticipation grow. Today is no different, as we're getting a list of OnePlus 5 specs from AnTuTu benchmarks.
We've known for a while now that the OnePlus 5 will be released this summer, and each additional rumor and leak adds to the device's anticipated debut. Following the recent benchmark tests, the latest news includes what appears to be a finalized list of specs and features for the budget-friendly Android flagship, and it's shaping up to give Samsung's incredibly popular Galaxy S8 a serious challenge for the crown.
It isn't exactly a secret that tons of video games die before ever leaving the prototype stage, and today we're learning more information about an old Sonic the Hedgehog prototype that first surfaced six years ago. Avid Sonic fans might already be familiar with the footage on display here, but now the third-party developer behind the prototype is sharing the story of why the game, known as Sonic Extreme, never saw the light of day in a new video from Unseen 64.
The official reveal of HTC's new U 11 smartphone, also known by its codename "Ocean," isn't until May 16th, but we have just gotten a look at the final, or near-final, design. A handful of leaked 3D renders have surfaced, showing the Android flagship with a deep red colored chassis. While we've already heard about the device's big squeezable edges feature, as well as the expected specs, this is our first look at the unibody design and near bezel-less display.
Fans of Lenovo's original Moto Z Play got a pleasant surprise last month when press photos of the successor — the Z2 Play — were leaked, showing off a clean device with a minimal design. Unfortunately, that leak has now been followed with a handful of details on specs, and there's one in particular that's arguably a significant downgrade: a much smaller battery.
A few days back, Amazon revealed the Echo Look, a new device that takes the idea behind the Echo and tosses in a camera for good measure. It seems that Amazon may not be content to stop there, as a new version of the Echo has been spotted in the wild. The big differentiator this time around? A built-in display.
A Pixel 2 XXL with a Snapdragon 835 chipset and pure Android could take on the Samsung Galaxy S8+ later this year, if tidbits turned up in the code are to be believed. The smartphone is believed to be the third in a three-strong range of Pixel 2 handsets for 2017, and internally codenamed "taimen" in keeping with Google's fondness for fish. While it won't be the first device to reach the market with Qualcomm's latest chipset, there may well be a few reasons why Android fans opt to catch the Pixel 2 XXL and throw back the rest.
Amazon may have split opinion this week with Echo Look, which encourages Alexa to watch you getting dressed, but it seems it's not letting that slow the roll-out of new smart assistants. Echo Look is the fourth product on Amazon's virtual shelves to use Alexa, following the original Echo smart speaker, the Tap portable Bluetooth version, and the compact and more affordable Echo Dot. As soon as next month, though, we could see a fifth addition to the line-up.
Uber's self-driving car lead has been put on the back-burner for LIDAR development, amid accusations from Alphabet's Waymo that he stole secrets about the technology. Anthony Levandowski has been head of the Advanced Technologies group at the ride-sharing firm since his startup Otto was acquired by Uber in July 2016. However, his time there hasn't been straightforward.
Apple is preparing a second attempt at rebooting Apple Music, it's reported, with a big push into video joining the subscription-based streaming audio. The update will come roughly two years after Apple Music first launched, and mark a sizable bet on streaming video that will see several big-name celebrities contributing content. Only last year, Apple redesigned Apple Music considerably, in part to bring the company's curated playlists to greater prominence.
