Huawei, Google teaming up for new 7-inch tablet

Google's Pixel C tablet from last year was one of the best Android tablets ever. It looks like it could be Huawei's job to follow those footsteps.

If reputable tipster Evan Blass, aka @evleaks, is to be believed, Google's next tablet will be made by the Chinese tech giant. Blass said the device will have a 7-inch screen and 4GB of RAM.

Perhaps adding credence to rumour is the fact that Huawei recently trademarked the "Huawei 7P" name. According to Blass, the device is "on track for release before the end of the year."

Blass has an excellent track record with smartphone tips, correctly predicting details of phones such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and last year's Nexus 6P, which was also made by Huawei.

The BlackBerry DTEK50 Is Just The Beginning

BlackBerry will apparently be launching three Android phones this year. And the DTEK50 is one of the lower-end models, judging by its $299 price tag. This is likely a good thing, though, because BlackBerry — once again — hasn’t scrimped on anything: the DTEK50 looks great and packs in plenty of useful specs and hardware, so you’re getting quite a bit for your buck.
BlackBerry's newest offering comes with a 5.2-inch 1080p touchscreen, a 13MP rear camera with phase detection autofocus and LED flash, an 8 MP selfie shooter, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 617 SoC, 3GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable storage, and a 2,610 mAh battery. It runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

BlackBerry says the DTEK50 is the world’s most secure phone. It also confirmed that it will be issuing monthly security updates to the phone in order to keep it this way.

Samsung is recalling millions of new Galaxy Note 7 smartphones worldwide

Samsung is recalling millions of new Galaxy Note 7 smartphones worldwide after reports of the devices catching fire while charging.

The massive recall of one of Samsung's flagship devices is an embarrassing setback for the world's biggest selling smartphone maker. The Note 7 was unveiled just a month ago.
Samsung said Friday it had found a problem with the battery in some of the phones and was halting sales. In the coming weeks it will offer customers a new product for free to replace all 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7s that have been sold.

It's unclear what owners of the phones should do now. The company said it will take about two weeks to prepare the recall, and the date new products will be available will vary by country. People worried about their batteries should contact their nearest Samsung service center, it added.

South Korean news agency Yonhap had previously reported that there have been five claims around the world of Note 7s catching fire while charging. Unverified photos posted on social media showed charred devices.
Samsung said it had been alerted to 35 claims of faulty phones worldwide. It said it had so far found 24 devices with problems for every million sold.

At a news conference, company executives declined to comment on exactly how much replacing all the devices would cost.
Samsung shares fell Thursday on reports of problems with the Galaxy Note 7 battery but closed 0.6% higher Friday before the recall was confirmed.

Official ZTE Axon 7 mini

The Axon 7 mini brings the same impressive stereo speakers that are imbued with Dolby Atmos magic and powered by a dedicated audio chip.

And the screen between them is still an AMOLED, even if the resolution dropped to 1080p (it's still plenty sharp at 424ppi).

The camera switched to a 16MP sensor and f/1.9 aperture and dropped the OIS. Also, video resolution is capped at 1080p. At least the selfie cam is identical.

The mini model also forgoes the Snapdragon 820 chipset and has an older Snapdragon 617 instead. The base model comes with 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage, but you can match the big 7 at 4GB/64GB. This is a dual-SIM phone with a hybrid slot, meaning you can add extra storage if you opt out of having a second SIM.
