The ZUK Edge is going to be launched this week according to the image uploaded earlier today on Weibo by the Vice-President of Lenovo.

The image shows the ZUK Edge in white with its so-called thin bezels which doesn’t appear any different from what we have seen from other ”thin-bezel” phones. The poster also reveals to us that the ZUK will go on sale on Jingdong Mall on the 7th of December at 3 pm.

The ZUK Edge will launch with a 5.5-inch Full HD display, a 2.35GHz Snapdragon 821 processor, 6GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. It will also join the ranks of Huawei’s Mate 9 to be one of the few Chinese phones launching with Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box.

The ZUK Edge will have a 13MP primary camera on the back, and an 8MP sensor in front for selfies. The phone will be powered by a 3000mAh battery.

Although the white version doesn’t look bad, it doesn’t have that sophisticated look the black variant possesses which we believe should be the one the company is advertising and pushing in our faces.

OnePlus’ latest smartphone was announced a couple of days ago and one disappointing feature is the Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS the device was still stuck on. The OnePlus 3T was thought to come running Google’s latest Android version but that did not end up happening. Not for long though, as OnePlus has indicated that it is planning to roll out Android 7.0 Nougat on the  OnePlus 3T in December. The latest flagship will get the upgrade alongside the OnePlus 3 which had long been teased as getting Android N soon.

The OnePlus 3 will start receiving the beta version of Android N later this month but OnePlus has confirmed that the 3T won’t get that. However, that will not stop Android N update from rolling out on the 3T when the company starts pushing the update next month. The company also disclosed that bot the OnePlus 3 and 3T would get updates at the same time in the future.

The OnePlus 3T features just a slight upgrade in its hardware from that of the OnePlus 3, if not, both models are relatively the same phones, including the size (152.7 x 74.7 x 7.35) and the weight (158g). The new flagship comes with a faster Snapdragon 821 chipset, larger 3,400mAh battery as well as a more capable 16MP front-facing camera ideal for selfies.

The Huawei P9 is no doubt one of the best phones of the year and it has played no small role in pushing the manufacturer to the top of the list of smartphone makers in China. While there is still a good five months before the release of its successor, the Huawei P10, the specifications of the upcoming phone have been released online via a GFX benchmarking test.

The phone whose model number is LON-L29 (the Huawei P9′ model number is LON-L19) has a 5.5” Quad HD display and is powered by Huawei’s latest processor, the Kirin 960 which is clocked at 2.3GHz. The Kirin 960 is the same processor present in the recently released Huawei Mate 9. The P10 sports 6GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and runs Android 7.0 Nougat.

There is an 11MP (12MP) camera on the rear that can shoot 4K videos and has the usual features like face detection, autofocus, and HDR. However, there is no mention of it being a dual setup. The front facing camera on the other hand is a 7MP (8MP) sensor and there is also NFC on board.

The OnePlus 3 is currently one of the best phones that perfectly balances price and quality. Running Android Marshmallow out of the box, the company is now set to update it to Android 7.0 Nougat.

OnePlus says they will be starting with a beta build of the new Android version which will be available later this month. The final release is expected to hit devices by the end of the year.

This news will help prospective buyers who have been considering purchasing the OnePlus 3 make up their minds. And with Black Friday and Cyber Monday coming soon, they should also be able to get it for less than its current selling price.

OnePlus has also confirmed that their flagship from last year, the OnePlus 2 will also be getting the Nougat update but haven’t mentioned a specific time for the update. Next year sounds like the only possible time though. Sadly the, OnePlus X (which just got Marshmallow by the way) and the OnePlus One won’t be getting updated to Nougat due to hardware requirements.

For those who can’t wait for the final release of the Nougat update to hit the OP3, then you wouldn’t mind waiting for the new OnePlus phone/OnePlus 3T that is expected to launch next week which will run Nougat out of the box.

Other flagships which have started receiving beta versions of the latest OS include Huawei’s Honor 8 and Samsung’s S7 and S7 Edge.

The LG V20 is now official. Launched late last night, the phone brings along some new features while retaining some from the LG V10 such as the second display at the top.

First Android 7.0 Nougat Phone

The usual norm is for Google to launch the new version of android alongside the new nexus devices, but this year was different. The new nexus (Pixel) phones haven’t launched yet but older nexus devices are already running Android Nougat.

The LG V20 is the first phone to launch with Android Nougat out of the box and LG wants you to know that. However, it comes with LG’s UX 5.0+ on top.

Dual Cameras Out, Dual Cameras In

The LG V10 launched with 5MP dual front facing cameras and a 16MP rear camera. The V20 on the other hand drops one of the front cameras and adds an extra one to the rear. The camera in front is a 5MP f/1.9 wide angle shooter and the rear cameras are a combination of a 16MP f/1.8 camera with OIS and an 8MP f/2.4 135° wide-angle camera. There is also laser auto focus, PDAF, and dual LED flash.

Hi-Fi Audio, Hi-Fi Video
