- Google+ appeases audiophiles with new Studio Mode for Hangouts on Air
Since May, Google+ users have been able to show the world just how exciting their lives are via the Hangouts On Air feature. That works perfectly well for broadcasting your e-cooking lessons and all, but Mountain View has higher standards when it comes to live-streaming music. The just-announced Studio Mode for Hangouts On Air optimizes audio for music rather than speech, resulting in richer, clearer sound than what you’ll get with the standard Voice Mode. Musicians simply select Studio Mode under settings — other members of the hangout don’t have to do anything. Check out a demo of the new feature below the break.

- Motorola Droid 4’s Android 4.0 upgrade clears Verizon hurdles, brings global roaming soon
The Droid 4’s update to Android 4.0 has been in the making for long enough that we’d started to wonder if someone in the QA department had a grudge against keyboards. Verizon just proved that there’s still plenty of QWERTY love to go around by posting a document, and starting a soak test, that gives the OS upgrade a rubber stamp. Motorola’s messaging phone is getting more than just a new software layer with this upgrade: the Android 4.0.4 release will switch on global roaming for those willing to pay Verizon for access abroad. Camera quality should get a quiet lift in the process, while the rest of the phone is getting a proper polish as well. Verizon hasn’t mentioned just when we’ll see that update notification flit past our screens, but the carrier’s tendency to push updates days after notices like these could see Droid 4 owners treated to Android 4.0 well before August wraps up.

Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10+ live images surface
We are still a month away from the Samsung Galaxy S10 trio launch and this is by far our best look at the Galaxy S10 and S10+. A bunch of live images have surfaced revealing the design in great detail. Galaxy S10 and S10+ prototypes The first thing we've noticed about those prototypes are the bezels.

Sexy vivo Apex 2019 unveiled with no buttons, all screen fingerprint sensor
The vivo Apex 2019 concept phone is here and it packs some serious tech. It's powered by a Snapdragon 855 chipset, has 256GB or 512GB of storage, 12GB of RAM and 5G - the last two are firsts for vivo. Arriving just a day after Meizu announced its take on the portless buttonless phone, vivo's Apex 2019 is a rather different beast despite similar looks. For starters the Apex 2019 has a port, of sorts. Whereas the Meizu Zero relies entirely on wireless charging, the Apex 2019 uses what vivo calls MagPort - a magnetic connector on the rear that's used for charging and data...

Yes, your eyes are alright, Xiaomi really posted an upside-down photo of Lei Jun and Manu Kumar Jain posing with the Redmi Note 7.
