alcatel 1 revealed with even lower-end specs than the 1x, Android Oreo (Go Edition) still on board
The lowest-end member of alcatel's roster is no longer the 1x, for today the alcatel 1 has surfaced over in Russia.

There are many factors involved, with the most impactful one being the aggressive market penetration of Chinese vendors. Samsung's shipments in the country shrank from 20% in 2013 down to under 1% last year. This is because Chinese manufacturers...
Galaxy S10 to ditch the iris scanner for an in-display fingerprint and facial recognition
Even though the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus are far from being released and will likely hit the market sometime in Q1 2019, the Korean media, The Bell has some interesting info regarding Samsung's future flagship devices. According to sources, Samsung is going to ditch the iris scanner leaving the rumored Note9 to be the last Galaxy device to offer the tech. We guess that not many tears will be shed over this fresh information as the Samsung's current implementation of the iris scanner isn't exactly the most efficient way to unlock your phone. Arguably, Apple's Face ID is far more accurate...
