On top of announcing the ZTE Blade Max 3 today, the Chinese company has also introduced the new MAX XL handset which will be available at Boost Mobile for $129.99 a pop. However, if you hurry up and purchase it online you’ll be asked to spend only $101.99.
For this amount of money customers will get a 6-inch IPS display with 1920 x 1080 resolution and Gorilla Glass 3 for protection. On the inside powering the phone, there’s a Snapdragon 435 working in combination with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in storage (microSD card slot available for memory expansion up to 128GB).
Unlike the ZTE Blade Max 3 unveiled earlier today, the ZTE MAX XL does not feature a dual camera setup onboard, but rocks a singular 13-megapixel main camera and a 5-megapixel selfie one.
ZTE’s latest handset for Boost Mobile is also said to support Sprint’s High Performance User Equipment Standard (HPUE) which means increased coverage, more capacity and faster network speeds. We should also note, the phone has a fingerprint scanner located on the back and a hefty 3,990 mAh battery.
The device runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat right out of the box, unlike the other new ZTE phone which is stuck at Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Boost Mobile will also be able to acquire the handset with the carrier’s 2GB plan that offers unlimited talk, text for $30 with auto-renew or $35 without it. Or they can grab it on Boost’s Unlimited Gigs Plan too with starts at $50 per month.
While US Cellular doesn’t make a note of the phone’s RAM capacity, the product probably carriers at least 2GB. And just the Blade V8 Pro, the Max 3 is also a dual camera phone. On the back, the handset takes advantage a 13-megapixel sensor with Phase Detection Autofocus that works in concert with another 13-megapixel mono sensor. When it comes to selfies, customers can take advantage of the secondary 5-megapixel snapper.
In one of the example provided in the patent, Google ask us to imagine a scenario where you are chatting with a friend who suggests having dinner at a new restaurant in town called “The Rock”. Let’s say you want to make a reservation – you’ll need to highlight the name and then drag the text to any of the apps from a list of “droppable” apps. In this case, you’ll have to drag-and-drop the info into a restaurant booking app.
A second scenario involves taking a picture of a landmark and then drag-and-dropping it into 
According to Google, the new feature relies on machine learning to learn the users’ drag-and-dropping habits in order to be able to predict where the user might want to paste info next. What’s more, the technology also allows makes the new tool capable of “discerning” whether “The Rock” indicates a local restaurant, the actor or the Alcatraz Island.
At the most basic level, iOS is the Apple system, and you have to have an iPhone to use it. Because iOS is tied to the Apple ecosystem, the operating system is designed to steer you to other Apple products and services. It’s certainly possible to use non-Apple apps and services with your iPhone, but these can be more difficult to find and manage that the Apple products that are designed to work seamlessly with iOS.
Cost is certainly a factor when it comes to any smartphone choice. Currently, iOS is exclusive to the iPhone and commands a premium price for this premium product. By contrast, Android is available on phone across the spectrum of price points, from low-end starter models straight up to the 
So it has come as quite a surprise that so soon into product launch – so globally dominant as the Galaxy S8, we are already discussing the possible workings of the Galaxy S9 with information beginning to seep out from behind closed doors about the inner workings of their next flagship device. Crazy right?!
So what does this actually mean?

Furthermore, when using Round Corners you have the option of setting specifics looks for individual apps. Let’s say you want rounded corners in the Camera app, but not in the Email app – just go to the Apps section and specify which of your applications should get the round corner treatment and which shouldn’t.
The app works well enough, however I noticed that once I maxed out the Corner Size, the edges of the display became quite unresponsive, to the point of which it got so annoying that I was forced to revert back to smaller corners. I’m not sure most users would like to have maximal round corners anyway – as they eat up a lot of space and make the phone look a bit odd.
So the best thing to do, is to stick to more discrete corners. This allows the corners to seamlessly blend with the black body of your phone (assuming it does have a back body, but most phones do, so). On my Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016), more thicker corners also had the effect of covering the notifications appearing in the upper left corner – so you have to get the corners’ size just right in order to ensure this doesn’t happen. On top of that, sometimes corners are not exactly smooth and exhibit glitches.
Now Samsung is making sure Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ owners will be able to do that with an update that adds an enhanced ability to adjust the color settings to their liking. The update will also bundle fixes for a few Wi-Fi reception issues.
Industry insiders noted that although Samsung appears to be reluctant to admit mea culpa, the reddish hue, which made a lot of customers uncomfortable, might have been the result of a software glitch.
