Week 35 in review IFA iPhone 7 pricing Note7 recall

One of the biggest events of the year, IFA in Berlin was the single most important thing that happened this week. We have the new announcements nicely rounded up for you here, and those include the Moto Z Play, a Sony Xperia XZ flagship and an X Compact, plus the Gear S3 smartwatch, just to name a few.

Who would have thought then that in the week of IFA the most read article on GSMArena would be one on the yet-to-be-announced iPhone 7. Though when the story is that Apple is planning to offer 32GB/128GB/256GB storage options (effectively doubling the built-in memory compared to last years models), while keeping the respective prices unchanged, the excitement is understandable.

Ongoing Nexus rumors continued this week, before it was revealed that Googles future phones wont be named Nexus at all. The Galaxy S8 rumor mill is picking up speed too, next years A5 might have shown up in b enchmarks, and the Note7s S Pen appears to have a tendency to get stuck. Again.

Thats not the high-end phablets biggest issue, though, not by a long stretch. A worldwide recall of all Note7 units has been officially announced, in light of reports of exploding batteries. Better safe than sorry.

Many phones, many watches, many hands-on impressions - heres all the good stuff from IFA 2016.

Eve n though only 24 units out of 1 million are in risk of catching on fire, Samsung is recalling all Note7 smartphones.

Inside the box of the phone, customers will find the new EarPod headphones with a Lightning connector.

Two new Xperia smartphones are joining the X series - the top of the line Xperia XZ and the returning X Compact.

The upcoming phone has a characteristic black panel on the back.

Indian oil-to-telecoms conglomerate Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has announced that its telecom leg Jio will start offering 4G services from next week - September 5 to be precise. The announcemen...

Also, the Huawei Mate 9, which (like the Nexus) wont be shown of at IFA.

The device is now listed on the South Korean companys Vietnam website for around $280.

A new rumor out of China claims to have all the details regarding the next flagships cameras.

Instead, a new brand will be used, though what it is hasnt been revealed yet.

It will go on sale in China tomorrow for $120.

The video shows how to cook nougat, of course.

A recall still has not been officially announced - meaning that for now you wont have to return your purchased Note 7, but the unsold units are being withdrawn.

An exact date or month wasnt revealed by the company.

It will be the mid-ranger in the Z line, complementing the high-end Moto Z and Moto Z Force.

The Nova phones draw inspiration from some of Huaweis most popular creations.

Last years models launched at $380 and $500 respectively, this year price of entry m ay be ~$100 higher.

The Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017) have also been reportedly confirmed.

The new clickable button on top of the S-Pen may get stuck thus leaving the pen inside the Note7 permanently. Samsung has a plan for handling those cases.

The phone is expected to be powered by SD821 SoC, sport a 5.5-inch display, and come with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal memory.

Recently rumors seem to have agreed on us seeing two handset models, not three, though their exact branding remains a mystery.

The delay in the devices shipments due to the fiasco has reportedly "knocked $7 billion off" Samsungs market value.

The One A9s keeps the premium unibody, but downgrades screen resolution, chipset, and camera features.
