Google has been subject to various antitrust investigations in the recent past. Now, fresh allegations are being dumped on the Mountain View-based tech company for planning to adopt a new internet protocol called DNS over HTTPS (DoH). An investigation is being conducted by the US House Judiciary Committee, reports Wall Street Journal . Investigators want to assess if Google uses any personal user data gained through the DoH protocol for commercial purposes. As per WSJ , the Judiciary Committee had shared a letter with Google inquiring about its intentions to use the new protocol on September 13.

Update, September 30 2019 (5:14AM ET): Realme mentioned the Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset on Weibo back in July (seen in the original article below), fueling speculation that it was planning a phone with this chipset. Now, chief marketing officer Xu Qi Chase has confirmed on Weibo (h/t: GSMArena ) that a Snapdragon 855 Plus Realme phone is indeed in the works. The Realme executive notes that the phone is codenamed “super warrior.” Check out the machine-translated post below: Xu Qi Chase/Weibo We don’t know much else about the new phone, but it’s interesting to note that Chase sent the post from the “Realme X2 Pro super warrior” handset. So it looks like the phone’s final name will be Realme X2 Pro. This will be Realme’s first proper flagship, as it’s relied on lower tier Snapdragon or MediaTek silicon since its phones first came to market. Realme CEO Madhav Sheth previously told GSMArena that the firm would only use the Snapdragon 855 silicon if the device really needed its c

LG India launched two new smartphones in India over the weekend without much fanfare. The new LG G8S ThinQ amd LG Q60 come to India seven months after they were first announced in February 2019. The LG G8S ThinQ is a toned-down version of the LG G8 , while the LG Q60 is a budget handset. LG G8S ThinQ specs LG G8S ThinQ with triple cameras, LG G8 with dual cameras In terms of specs, the LG G8S ThinQ gets the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 855 SoC, just like the G8 . Its 6.2-inch OLED FullVision display takes a cutback compared to the G8, with a resolution of 2,248 x 1,080 pixels. The aspect ratio of the display is set at 18.7:9. Another major point of difference between the G8S ThinQ and the standard G8 is the camera setup. The G8S ThinQ features a triple rear camera setup with a 12MP standard lens, a 13MP ultra-wide lens, and a 12MP 2x telephoto shooter. In comparison, the G8 sports two primary cameras — a 12MP standard camera and 16MP ultra-wide lens. The front of the phone gets

Samsung The Samsung Galaxy A70s has been coming for a long time now, with rumors that it would be one of the first phones with a 64MP camera. Fortunately, we don’t have to wait any longer, because the phone has just launched in India. Samsung’s phone isn’t the first 64MP phone to be announced though, as the Realme XT and Redmi Note 8 Pro have both been announced in recent weeks. But you’re still getting a pretty capable handset from the looks of things. The main selling point is that 64MP f/1.8 camera of course, allowing users to take full-resolution shots or 16MP pixel-binned snaps. Samsung says the device also packs a Night mode, Scene Optimizer, and Super Steady Video mode. Otherwise, this camera is joined by an 8MP ultra-wide sensor and a 5MP depth sensor. The high-resolution antics don’t stop at the back though, as you’ve got a 32MP f/2.0 selfie camera in a waterdrop notch. This camera will presumably make use of pixel-binning as well to get 8MP snaps in low-light conditio

It wasn’t long ago that 8GB of RAM was considered a pretty sizeable capacity, even for a computer. Now phones with 8GB RAM are a thing. In fact, phones are even starting to offer 10GB , or as much as 12GB of RAM . While that’s arguably an overkill , more RAM is never a bad thing, especially if you plan to keep your handset for several years. More RAM doesn’t necessarily mean your phone is totally future proof, but it certainly helps. If you’re in the market for a phone with 8GB RAM, you’ll be happy to hear there are quite a few of them to choose from — check out the best ones below.
