I n this post which would be regularly updated as we learn more,we will be taking a closer look at the upcoming HTC U12. Last year,HTC released the HTC U11,and it was quite a great smartphone. It had very cool cameras and whatnot,and who can ever forget the 'squeeze to open up Google Assistant?' But the S8 overshadowed this undeniably great phone,and you and I went out and spent our money on the Galaxy S8 instead of buying the U11. Why? Well,it's dated design was one factor. Sure it had that alluring glass build you just can't get enough of,and a nice and sturdy build. But,the design was still dated. Most of HTC's flagships before the U11 used that design. Also,it didn't have a dual camera setup. Sure,the S8 didn't have one either,but it did refresh the design of the S7 before it,so we went for that one instead. But HTC aims to change all those negatives with the launch of the HTC U12(at least that's what we think they would call it). The...

Xiaomi Redmi S2 Specs Before I list the specs,I want to let out a few thoughts: The Xiaomi Redmi S2 has had a lot of leaks in the past few weeks,and we probably know all it's specs way before it's launch on Thursday. This has probably got to have been the most leaked smartphone to date,topping even the Galaxy S9,which we reviewed here ,so much that it even appeared on AliExpress,China's leading online store. But that leak also conveniently gave us the specifications and design language. First,we see the nicely designed and eye catching antenna lines ,and the vertically aligned dual camera set-up. Only God knows where they got that idea from,right?  We also have the fingerprint sensor alignment which isn't anything new by the way. And yes,it'll probably be fast. Now,the listing on AliExpress also shows us the screen size and resolution. And it's pretty bad. It's a 5.99 inch 720*1440 screen. Now,the fact that this is only HD+ resolution ma...

How to remove a virus from your phone courtesy: Phonelab.com We all hate viruses.They damage our phone's software and can even damage hardware through the software. And while some viruses can be removed very easily,some take longer processes to eradicate. In this post,we will learn what viruses are,how to prevent them and how to remove them in case of infections. What is a Virus "A phone virus is a type of virus specifically adapted for the cellular environment and designed to spread from one vulnerable phone to another."  So basically,a virus is more or less a program that spreads from one phone to another and is capable of causing harm to the phone(or host)in which it resides.  Viruses are the major cause of phone slowdown,which we talked about in this post . And they can actually render a phone pretty much useless. Some can even be used to track your movement or steal your information from your phone. They tend to be attached to apps you dow...

LG G7 ThinQ Specifications Before I begin with this spec sheet,I'd like to give some of my thoughts on the ThinQ. First,I would not be doing a full review until the device is officially available here in Nigeria,which may take sometime. And second,I feel like the G7 ThinQ isn't really a departure from what other phones in the market really are. Sure,it has the latest chip,but other phones also have the latest chip. Also,it has a notch,just like other recent phones. My real complaint with this phone is that LG isn't really trying to stand out from the crowd,despite their recent losses in the smartphone market. LG is supposed to be making smartphones with killer features that actually make you want to wait for their 2018 flagship,rather than go out and buy the latest Galaxy or iPhone. In my opinion,LG should be doing something that no other OEM is doing,in the sense that they should try their best to differentiate their phone from the bunch,both in look and features. ...

But now,all that bliss is gone,and what you're left with is a phone that literally takes forever to boot up.

And in this article,I'm going to show you how you can restore the glory of that phone and how you can bring it up to speed again.  You see,the problem with most problems is that it's very,very difficult to actually identify their root causes. And that is what makes them so annoying.So,I'll start by saying that 'you should locate the cause of the slow ...

We all love the iPhone X. And we all love the Samsung Galaxy S9 . But what we don't love is their prices. Starting at $1000 and $850 respectively,the newest flagships of the year are beyoud the reach of many,all thanks to their high price tags. Some people want them because they are the best smartphones of 2018. Some want them because they are really,really flashy. Some want them because they have really great cameras. And some may want them because of their extremely beautiful screens. Yes,the bezel-less display was something that xiaomi started with their Mi Mix back in 2017. Samsung followed it up with the S8,and now we all want a phone with such a screen. But many people can't afford the prices Samsung and Apple are asking for. So,I decided to compile the list of the best cheap bezel-less phones on the market today. And here they are: Best Cheap Bezelless Phones Asus Zenfone 5 Starting this list is the Asus Zenfone 5. With it's large IPS LCD display,nice dua...
