Xperia XZ3 gets its pricing in Europe, pre-orders are open and it ships on October 5

Sony stole the show this year with its latest flagship offering - the Xperia XZ3. This year the company aims to deliver essentially the same old Xperia user experience while trying out something new, which turned out to be the spotlight feature of this phone - the curved BRAVIA OLED display.

The usual trend continues - most of the older Android versions are going down in numbers in contrast to the newer versions. Compared to last month, 8.0 and 8.1 Oreo have risen by more than two percentage points from 12.1% up to 14.6%, which is probably directly related to the newly sold Oreo-powered devices. Interestingly, Nougat 7.0 and 7.1 numbers are exactly the same, although there's a small decline of 7.0 devices and an...

Huawei found guilty of 4G LTE patent infringements, has to pay $10.5 million

Recently, Huawei was forced to exit the US market - at least partially - and suffered great losses, but the troubles don't seem to stop there as a jury at the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas found the Chinese firm guilty of multiple patent infringements. Reportedly, back in 2014, the US company PanOptis tried to contact Huawei and schedule meetings to discuss the violations and even offered reasonable non-discriminatory terms to license the patents so Huawei can continue using those technologies. After three consecutive years and numerous letters, the Chinese tech...
