In Past Tense: The story of Vlad's phones
Hi, I'm Vlad, the evening shift guy around here (insert vampire joke if you must). I'm 33 and have been with GSMArena for almost four years now. My phone journey started when I was 15 years old. The early days My first phone was a Bosch 509, which I got in 1999. Two GSM networks had launched in my neck of the woods in 1997, so I wasn't really an early adopter - but in my defense, I was still in school and depended on my parents for such purchases. It was obviously very exciting to own a phone in that day and age, even though prices for calls were so high that it didn't get a lot...
Weekly poll results: for gaming phones to succeed, they need hardware controls
The future of gaming phones proved to be a more divisive topic than we anticipated - the final result is nearly even, a 47/53 split in favor of "no, gaming phones do not have a future". At least some consensus seems to have formed in the comments. To succeed, these phones need two things - games and hardware controls. The former seems obvious but isn't. Nvidia tried to lure game devs into porting their games to Android (to promote its Tegra chipsets), Sony is still trying to do the same. And yet sales of AAA mobile games are nowhere near as profitable as they are on console and PC. As...

Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge Oreo updates coming on May 18
New day, new info on the seemingly inevitable, yet never actually happening, Android 8.0 Oreo updates for the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. This time it's courtesy of the Samsung-run Turkish website that translates to "Are we up to date?" which we've referenced in the past, again in connection with the S7. Well, the quoted date is now May 18 for the S7 and S7 edge (up from April 13 last time). The Galaxy A3 (2017), A5 (2017), and A7 (2017) will follow next, on June 1 (previously May 25). Obviously, as with last time, those deadlines may or may not be met. Samsung...
LG Q7 receives FCC certification
The LG Q7 is methodically gathering the certifications needed before official launch. After it became clear a couple of days ago that it's been certified in Russia alongside the G7, the Q7 has now cleared the US FCC - or at least that's what we're making of the ZNFQ710TS model name that's popped up in the regulator's database. Details on the handset's specs have been scarce, and that's not going to change with this FCC filing. Occasionally, we've been lucky and the FCC ID location in the menus has revealed something like battery capacity, but not today. In any case, if the G6/Q6...
