Doogee’s S96 Pro is now rebranded as S96 GT. The rugged phone which has already sold more than a million pieces is now available as S96 GT with brand new features and better upgrades. The new and upgraded Doogee S96GT retains the appeal and charm of its predecessor but has improved its memory, chipset, selfie camera, and OS. And to top it off S96 GT will come in a special and limited yellow gold variant.

The new S96 GT will use the MediaTek Helio G95 chipset with improvements over the Helio G90 used by S96 Pro. With this chipset, this newer model will be faster, smoother, and more reliable. The base storage is also increased from 128GB in the Pro model to 256GB in the newer S96 GT model. Even better, the S96 GT has an SD card slot that will allow you to expand up to 1TB.

Like its predecessor, the S96 GT will also carry a night vision camera but with a new improved capability to capture anything within a 15m range. Another area the S96 GT improves over the S96 Pro is with the selfie camera. The newer model sports a 32MP selfie clicker instead of a 16MP front camera on the older model. Also, the new Doogee S96 GT will run the latest Android 12 OS out of the box.

Doogee S96 GT will feature a 6.22” display with Corning Gorilla Glass protection, 6320mAh battery, and the 48MP + 20MP + 8MP camera setup on the back same as the previous pro version. Other similarities are IP68 and IP69K ratings which makes both the S96 Pro and S96 GT water-resistant. They are also MIL-STD-810H certified which means they are usable in extreme weather without any problem

According to a new report, the official website of HTC is currently facing issues and has not been working correctly for many users. It is suffering from login issues and has raised concerns regarding its Elevate program.

Notably, the website’s login was working for some number of people but the vast majority is still facing an error commonly in the lines of “Http/1.1 Service Unavailable.” This message pops up when many users tried to attempt to gain access to HTC’s Elevate program’s online domain.

HTC has been ailing from falling revenue streams that show no sign of rising in the near future. The number of people that are still faithful to the brand and participating in the Elevate program are now also in doubt. Reportedly, users are concerned if the company has officially taken the website down and closing the servers.

For those unaware, the Elevate program is a private members-only community for the top fans and supporters of HTC. It is a worldwide program with members all across the globe. The members receive direct updates from the company and access to HTC team members. They can also give feedback directly to HTC personnel and gain access to members-only events as well. Furthermore, the company also participates in random giveaways with its members on certain occasions.

Unfortunately, the issue is still ongoing with no official statements being made by HTC or any spokesperson. The company has yet to address the issue and news reporting outlets have also tried reaching out to the company and are awaiting a response.

OnePlus, the China-based smartphone manufacturer has now migrated its new official website on a different domain name. The company is now using a new top-level domain — oneplus.com instead of the oneplus.net domain that it used since the company’s debut in the year 2013.

The company has now started redirecting users of oneplus.net and oneplus.cn to its oneplus.com domain name. Also, every country-specific website of OnePlus is now on the oneplus.com domain, except for the Indian website where the company is still using the oneplus.in domain. All other properties of OnePlus, including the online store, support, and forum, have also been migrated to this new domain.

OnePlus believes that migrating to the oneplus.com domain name for all the regions will help in protecting its fans/users from websites that pose as the regional variant of the official website. In order to mark this development, the company is hosting a small giveaway. OnePlus is asking users to share a recent major life milestone and the company will randomly choose 5 winners will receive a OnePlus Backpack and limited-edition notebook.

Currently, the China-based company is gearing up to launch its new flagship smartphone — OnePlus 6. The company itself has started teasing features of the new flagship and have also released a few specs and an official photo that confirms it has a notched display.

OnePlus has recently confirmed that the phone would be featuring 8 GB of RAM and a native storage of 256 GB. Also, the handset will come with full-screen gestures for smooth navigation experience. The phone is speculated to feature a 6.28-inch Full HD+ display that is available on the OPPO R15 duo. Under the hood, it will be powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 845 processor with 6GB/8GB RAM and 64GB, 128GB and 256GB internal storage.
