LG G6: Meet the new Android king  With the new  LG  G6, the Korean company is going back to basics, focusing much of its attention on “design-driven innovations” and “practical improvements.” As a result, the G6 appears to be a solidly-executed, impressively-built flagship  LG  hopes will go toe-to-toe with the upcoming Galaxy S8 from  Samsung . Think of the G6 as an amalgamation of everything LG has learned over the past few years. As the numerous leaks showed, the G6 sports an aluminum frame with a glass rear panel, a move that gave  LG  room to introduce wireless charging. The edges of the device is chamfered, a la the  iPhone  5, which looks and feels premium. The back is subtly curved, outfitted with two 13-megapixel  camera  sensors that sits flush, along with a fingerprint sensor, which also doubles as a physical power button. The only other physical buttons ...

The Huawei P10 Plus, as its name implies, is the beefier of the two models with a 5.5-inch WQHD display. The standard P10 ships with a 5.1-inch 1080p screen. Both devices will ship with the same Kirin 960 processor. The P10 Plus has a 3,750mAh battery, a hair larger than the 3,200mAh option shipping  in the smaller Huawei P10. The Plus model also gets 128GB of storage and 6GB of RAM out of the box, with expandable storage as an option. The lower model still has a microSD card slot but ships with 64GB of storage and 4GB of RAM out of the box. The cameras differ depending on the model, too. Leica is still providing the cameras. The Huawei P10 lens has a f/22 aperture, however, compared to the f/1.8 in the P10 Plus. Both feature a dual lens system, as Huawei has continued to add to its cameras, including a 12MP monochrome lens and a 20MP standard lens. The Huawei P10 and P10 Plus will cost 649 euros and 685 euros, respectively. No word yet on a US launch but look fo...

Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s CEO, announced the launch of Skype Lite for Android  during the Future Decoded event in India. The  new app  is specifically aimed at Indian users and offers a data-friendy Skype experience. Skype Lite is supposed to be fast, reliable as well as lightweight, as it’s only 13 MB in size. It allows you to check mobile and Wi-Fi data usage at all times and has a bunch of data saving features users will welcome with open arms. For example, the photos you share on Skype Lite get compressed before they are uploaded so that their size is reduced. And when you just forward a photo to someone, all the magic happens within the service, which means you don’t have to download the image and then uploaded it again to get the job done. The app consumes less power and should run smoothly on low-end smartphones. It is available in seven different local languages: Gujarati, Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu. The whole point of the...
