Bixby Voice is authentically useful for many functions on your phone, of course the goal of Bixby Voice is to be just one part of a larger set of Bixby features. The Bixby Home interface, often opined as a poor man’s version of Google Now, feels weak and rarely useful. And Bixby Vision doesn’t have the data set or algorithms to be a truly useful part of the camera experience. From what we’ve seen of Bixby Voice, however, there’s at least something there that’s properly unique, it’s meant to help you control things on your phone, not just head out to the internet and answer questions for you.

Essential’s bezel-less, modular-equipped, stock Android handset will go on sale for $699 in the United States, though there’s no firm release date for the device just yet. In the U.S., Sprint is confirmed to be the exclusive launch partner. The device missed its launch target of June in the States, however today’s FT report quotes Essential COO Niccolo de Masi as saying the release is “imminent.”

High-profile, high-end exclusives are relatively rare in the UK market, with recent exceptions being the Google Pixel on EE, and the OnePlus 3, 3T and 5 on O2. Working with a single, excusive carrier partner has clear benefits for a newcomer like Essential — for one, allowing it to focus its marketing efforts for its inaugural handset with the help of a major player in the local market.

If the U.S. price translates over directly to the UK, Brits can expect to pay around £640-650 (including VAT) for the Essential Phone. That’s flagshup money for sure, putting it in the same price bracket as the HTC U11 and Sony Xperia XZ Premium.

PhonesWow! LG Q6 Launches As Affordable Mid-range Sibling Of The G6 by peterakpanumo(op): 4:53pm On Jul 11, 2017
LG announced the new device as the LG Q6. The aim of the Q6 is to offer many of the design traits and features of the G6 at a lower price, hoping to capitalize on what has clearly been a successful flagship launch for LG.

The LG Q6 offers the same style of “FullVision” 18:9 display as the G6 with small bezels to carry on the flagship phone’s looks. It’s slightly smaller at 5.5-inches diagonally and has bumped down to 2160×1080 resolution — an expected drop for a phone landing beneath the LG G6. The metal frame is still made out of 7000 series aluminum to be particularly robust and LG says it’s still subjected to “demanding” battery tests.

PhonesWow! Lg G6 Mini (aka Lg Q6) Launching July 11 - Check Details by peterakpanumo(op): 5:30pm On Jul 10, 2017
We’ve recently heard rumors that LG is making an LG G6 Mini, and that it would be called LG Q6, and now the company has all but confirmed that the phone will be announced tomorrow, July 11.

LG has posted a teaser video on YouTube, with the caption: “A full, exQuisite view is what you need. Q-rious? July 11th. Coming soon.”

Those capital Qs don’t leave much room for interpretation, and while the video itself doesn’t give much away it does mention FullVision and show the outline of a phone with tiny bezels to either side of the screen.

FullVision is the name given to the screen on the LG G6, and indeed that phone has tiny bezels, allowing LG to fit a large screen into a relatively small shell. But it also has a....Read more details by clicking this link ==>>>http://techzafo.com/lg-g6-mini-lg-q6-launch-expected-on-july-11
