This Note 9 vs iPhone X machine drop test can break your heart, too

-

Samsung has a stake in Corning, the makers of the tough Gorilla Glass material that most modern flagships use to prevent them from shattering into pieces when they hit the ground. Thus, it's only logical that one of its famed phone lines - the Note phablets with S Pen stylus - is usually where every new generation of Gorilla Glass makes a cameo. Thus, when Corning invited us to observe their R&D factory process not long ago, we assumed that the newly-minted Gorilla Glass 6 we saw there will debut on the Note 9.

Upcoming Google Play Store update may allow users to pause subscriptions

-
Image
The subscription model is becoming increasingly popular for mobile and desktop apps and services, but it could cause inconveniences for users, especially when one has to juggle between and keep track of numerous subscription plans. This is why, in an upcoming Play Store update, Google plans to introduce a feature that lets users temporarily suspend subscriptions when needed, instead of outright having to cancel them.
Evidence of this was discovered by the folks over at Android Police when they dug through the code of a recent Google Play Store update. Although it's currently ...

...United Kingdom-based phone manufacturer Wileyfox entered the Android smartphone scene in 2015, when it released the Storm and Switft phones. The low-end Spark was released later, in mid-2016. They were budget phones running the short-lived Cyanogen OS, and when Cyanogen collapsed, the company started developing its own ROM.A community manager at Wileyfox has revealed on Reddit that Wileyfox is undergoing administration. For those of you not familiar with it, administration is a process in the UK where a company gives full control of itself to a person (or small group of people), in order to pay off debts to creditors. The person writing the Reddit post said he had been laid off as a result of the administration process.It's not clear at this time if Wileyfox is permanently shutting down. If the administrators can pay off the company's debts or find a buyer, then Wileyfox could return at some point. The UK Companies House listing for Wileyfox still shows the company as activ…
