HTC today announced the 10 Evo as an international version of the Sprint’s most recent smartphone, the HTC Bolt. Slated to go on sale in markets outside of the United States, it essentially drops the three-channel carrier aggregation in favor of the more common LTE bands used in Europe and other countries.
The HTC 10 Evo features a 5.5-inch quad HD display with curved glass and Gorilla Glass 5 protection, a 16-megapixel rear camera with an aperture of f/2.0, and a 3,200mAh battery. Inside we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chip with 3GB and 32GB of storage space. Users who need more capacity can insert a microSD card up to 2TB.
Other specifications include a front-facing 8-megapixel camera with selfie light, USB Type-C charging port with Quick Charge 2.0, and BoomSound Adaptive Audio headphones. Wrapped in a unibody metal chassis, the 10 Evo comes with an IP57 rating to protect against water and dust.
Pricing and exact availability has not yet been made available. Sprint’s HTC Bolt, for what it’s worth, runs about $600 so we might expect something in that realm.
Moving along we find the previous-gen DTEK50 has been discounted from a regular $299 to $229. This Android phone already has a successor, the
Previously a hefty $649, the device now features a more acceptable $299 price tag. The devices boasts a 5.4-inch display with 1,440 x 2,560 pixel resolution and a Snapdragon 808 under the hood working in concert with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The phone features Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out the box.

The Google Assistant handles a lot of complicated queries, being able to deliver translations, weather information or set up routes on Google Maps.

Interestingly karizmaaa notes on Reddit that LG threw in a built-in DPI changer (measure of a display’s pixel density). You could previously change the DPI via a complicated ADB procedure. However, the Nougat update allows LG G5 users to simply change the DPI of the UI to 544, 640 and 720.
Sprint is the first carrier to deliver the Nougat update to the LG G5 but hopefully more will follow suit soon enough.
In a move that reminds us of
Once you are live a “Live” indicator will appear under your profile photo.
The direct messages inbox icon got an overhaul and you can notice it’s now in the shape of a paper airplane. It’s located in the top right corner of your feed.

If you’re a fashion lover, then you will be happy to know that Cyber Monday deals at Walmart also include discounts on sunglasses from Prada, Gucci, Miu Miu and on watches from Omega or Michael Kors.
Users will be able to access Popular Time just like before, by searching for a shop or restaurant in Google or Google Maps. But the feature now shows a “live” look at how busy a certain location is. The new update also includes information about how long people spend on average in said location.
Last but not least, Google has added a third upgrade to Popular Time. The feat now shows business hours for different service providers located in the same department. For example, maybe the Cinema at your local mall is opened until late hours of the evening, but the Aesop shop closes at 19:00. Popular Time will show you these discrepancies now.
The variant comes hot on the heels of another smartphone launch, the
Tap-to-pay uses NFC to transfer data to complete and verify a purchase at a till point terminal. This code points strongly to a tap-to-pay system.
Nevertheless, we’re confident that Android Wear will continue on just fine, with a little bit of help from these rumoured software features, of course.
