Realme will show ads on its phones but you can disable them

One of the most contested aspects of the MIUI software experience on Xiaomi and Redmi phones in places such as India has been the extensive use of ads all over. But it looks like the appeal of introducing ads into your software UI is just too high, because now Realme is doing it too. Realme as a brand is an Oppo offshoot that is pretty clearly aiming to compete primarily with Xiaomi (and mostly, its Redmi sub-brand), and it's been doing a great job so far. Now though, it will introduce ads in its UI in India, which it's sneakily calling "commercial content recommendation". All Realme... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2MNkETf via

Nokia 4.2 gets a huge price cut in India

The Nokia 4.2 was released earlier this year in India for INR 10,990 (approximately $154 or €137). Subsequently it got a price cut down to INR 9,499 ($133 or €118), which made the already affordable phone even more so. Now though it's received a new price cut, and this one is huge. The Nokia 4.2 went from INR 9,499 to INR 6,975 ($97 or €87) over at Amazon, and we expect the price change to be reflected on both Flipkart and Nokia's online store in the subcontinent too. So now the Nokia 4.2 is around 36% cheaper than its introductory price, which makes it a much more appealing purchase,... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2QdC1P5 via

In a rare but very welcome occurrence, Samsung has now started sending out the final stable update to One UI 2.0 based on Android 10 to the unlocked models of the Galaxy S10 family in the US.

Xiaomi's 108 MP Mi Note 10 Pro reaches Spain, yours for €559.99

Xiaomi's Mi Note 10 Pro has finally become available in Spain today. The phone is basically identical to the non-Pro Mi Note 10, it just comes with more RAM and storage - 8/256GB, compared to the vanilla model's 6/128GB combo. Additionally, the main sensor has an 8P lens compared to 7P. Yes, that is literally it, and no, we don't know why such a small change required it to get the word "Pro" tacked onto its name either. Anyway, if you're interested, know that its usual selling price in Spain is €649.99. However, right now you can purchase it from FNAC for just €559.99, although this may be... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2EPGTn2 via

Of course, the subsidiary did all its best to differentiate itself and the result is a... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2EIYCwx via

vivo is launching a new smartphone at MWC 2020 on February 23

vivo has just sent us an invite to an event it's holding at MWC 2020 in Barcelona on February 23. As you can see from the image we've received, there are absolutely no details about what we should expect to be unveiled at that event... that is, unless you take the big "v" to mean a foldable smartphone of some sort.
