Apple's Jet Black iPhone 7 may look pretty, but you should seriously think twice before buying one.

As it turns out, that's not the only issue that Jet Black iPhones can have.



A small number of users have discovered that the text printed on the back of Jet Black iPhones - including "iPhone" and "Designed by Apple in California" - can be easily peeled off. More exactly, if you use a clear skin to protect the rear of the device, the text can be transfered ...

As far as the two phones go, suffice it to say, we've had more than enough chances to see them from every angle possible in the last couple of months, but — and that's a big BUT — it is only now, on the day of their official unveiling, that we get to see them in such clarity!

Samsung Galaxy S8 display rumored to carry 4K resolution and support for VR

Samsung Galaxy S8 display rumored to carry 4K resolution and support for VR:

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is still more than four months away from getting unveiled, but that hasn't prevented analysts from trying to figure out what the manufacturer is up to. One thought is that Samsung will turn to a UHD resolution display for the Galaxy S8. That works out to 2160 x 3840. The current resolution found on QHD screens used on high end models like the Samsung Galaxy S7 is 1440 x 2560.



Samsung has a good reason to bump up the resolution on the Galaxy S8's screen. The company wants the display to support VR right out of the box. But there is a high price to pay in terms of battery ...

Google Pixel XL dimensions revealed alongside 360-degree renders

Google Pixel XL dimensions revealed alongside 360-degree renders:

It's no secret that Google is getting ready to announce two new smartphones on October 4. But these won't be Nexus phones, because Google wants to start anew with a Pixel family of handsets, which will likely include a 5-inch Pixel, and a 5.5-inch Pixel XL.



We've already seen various images depicting both the Pixel and Pixel XL, and today we can take another look at the latter, thanks to renders revealed by @OnLeaks (a reliable source). Reportedly, the renders are based on a factory CAD, so they should provide a pretty accurate representation of the real device.

Google’s Pixel phones stole the wrong feature from Apple’s iPhone 7

Google’s Pixel phones stole the wrong feature from Apple’s iPhone 7:

Come early October, Google will launch its 2016 flagship phones: these are HTC-made, Pixel-branded premium smartphones that will run a customized version of Android and cost you quite a bit more than you're used to spending for a Google phone. They’ll also look very much like an iPhone 7, at least the front side — not that it’s a bad thing at this point. While many of the specs and features of the Pixel and Pixel XL are already known, a new report says the phones won’t be able to handle water spills very well at all.

If only Google had followed Apple's lead here and made the phones water-resistant, instead of following Apple's lead elsewhere.

Each and every year, die-hard Android fans are waiting for one thing, and one thing only - the release of that year's Nexus lineup. Indeed, many die-hard fans consider Nexus devices to be the hardware paragons of the whole idea behind the "Android experience" and owning one is considered a vital requirement for anyone deeming themselves fans of the platform. 

We wouldn't endorse such crude generalizations, but truth is that for many people the leitmotif is "Nexus or bust".

Preorder records are getting smashed as people go crazy over Apple’s boring new iPhone 7:

Apple confirmed last week that it does not plan to release opening-weekend sales numbers for the iPhone 7, launching industry watchers and bloggers into a frenzy. Apple obviously knows that no one wants its boring new iPhone 7, right?! Well, the reality of the situation is likely a bit more involved than that. Several factors undoubtedly led to Apple's decision, and decreased demand could certainly be one of them. If preorder interest is any indication though, all the tech bloggers and analysts who have been calling Apple's latest iPhones "boring" are in for something of a rude awakening once earnings season comes back around.

New Galaxy S8 leak reveals more curved screens

New Galaxy S8 leak reveals a key feature not everyone is going to like:

For as much as Samsung gets ragged on for looking to the iPhone for design inspiration, the South Korean tech giant beat Apple at its own game when it released the alluring Galaxy S6 last year. Featured an eye-catching curved display, some critics questioned the utility of the design and were quick to call it a gimmick. That didn’t matter much, though, because most reviewers and users were big fans of the device’s sleek new design. In fact, Samsung was completely caught off-guard by the immense popularity of the S6 edge and had to re-calibrate its supply in order to meet surging and unexpectedly high demand. One year later, when the S7 edge was released, sales of the premium model actually outpaced the flat-screened S7 model, according to reports. With those two data points in tow, it perhaps shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that Samsung has some interesting plans in the works for its upcoming S8 models.

The Google Sailfish, along with the Google Marlin, are two HTC built devices that will either be the next Nexus models, or will kick off a new Pixel handset line. If the latter is true, the smaller Sailfish would be called the Google Pixel. The Marlin would then be called the Google Pixel XL. Today, a video surfaced that takes us on a 360 degree video tour of a Sailfish render.
