For the second time in as many days, we’ve got Huawei Mate 20 Lite leaked renders thanks to Evan Blass. With an anticipated launch sometime in October, it’s a good two months out from an announcement, and yet already there’s leaked renders  and some specs too. It’s worth noting that …

Following last weeks release, Samsung have officially launched several new devices to the Australian market – the flagship of this group being the Galaxy Note 9. There aren’t any secrets left around the Note 9 and the majority of leaks were pretty much on the money. The focus of the …

With Android Pie update being out now for a week or so, users of the original Pixel XL are reporting a fairly major issue; fast charging no longer works. Since upgrading to Android Pie, users of the Pixel XL have noticed that the “Charging Rapidly” message – previously displayed when …

Telstra has quietly added a new entry to its Telstra branded line of prepaid devices, with the Telstra Superior, a rebadged Alcatel 3V, now available for sale for $199.

With Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9 to be announced in just 18 days from now, on August 9 in New York City, the rumour mill surely has just about run out of grist. However, overnight we got the best glimpse yet of Samsung’s Galaxy Watch plans, alongside a brand new Galaxy …

Over the last couple of years, Samsung has released a plus variant of its annual Galaxy S phone, but rumours suggest that next year, the Galaxy S10+ will be where this trend stops. A report from South Korea’s The Bell indicates that Samsung is moving on from this dual release strategy, …

JB HiFi love their partner deals with Telstra, and today is no exception. Presumably to clear out stock of the Pixel 2 range ahead of a product refresh in a couple of months, JB HiFi is running a promo on Google’s big premium smartphone from 2017. At the moment, you …

We know there’s lots of excitement about the upcoming phone from Samsung – whatever it may be – but Vodafone has taken it a step further and announced a registration of interest process on Samsung’s new phone. That is, before the new phone has even been announced. With the announcement …
