Images of rumored BlackBerry ‘KEY2′ surface

It is about that time that we start hearing rumors about an upcoming successor to the BlackBerry KEYone and, thanks to a recent leak, we're right on track.

Back in January, TCL revealed that it was working on two new BlackBerry handsets for 2018, and this may be one of them. We have several images of the rumored follow-up to the KEYone, with this device codenamed "Athena". As far as what the new handset might be called, we could see a "KEY2″ on the market soon enough.

There is certainly no denying this handset looks a lot like the original KEYone. It has that tall display above a full, physical keyboard. Interestingly enough, a couple of changes have been scoped out compared to the original, including the fact that the physical keys appear to be flatter this time around. The keyboard frets found on the original model are gone in this new handset, too.

Meanwhile, thanks to the Chinese regulatory body TENAA, we have even more images to mull over. We can see the BlackBerry logo on the back, and there appears to be a dual camera setup on the back of the smartphone. That would put the KEY2 right in line with plenty of other flagships.

Unfortunately, there isn't any word on specifications for the KEY2 just yet. Word on the street is that it will have a USB-C port and that TCL is including a 3.5mm headphone jack for good measure.

Did you pick up the original BlackBerry KEYone? Are you looking forward to the KEY2?

Samsung Galaxy A6 and A6+ specs and design revealed

Ahead of an official announcement, Samsung has accidentally spilled the beans on its upcoming Galaxy A6 and A6+ smartphones. Full specs and images of the phone have been revealed on the Samsung Indonesia website. The new devices share some specs, though the A6+ is the higher-end model, sporting some upgrades over the standard A6.

The Samsung Galaxy A6 will feature:

  • 5.6-inch 1480 x 720 display with 18.5:9 aspect ratio
  • 1.6GHz octa-core processor
  • 3GB RAM
  • 32GB storage plus a microSD card slot
  • 16-megapixel rear camera with f/1.7 aperture
  • 16-megapixel front camera with f/1.9 aperture
  • 3000mAh battery
  • Fingerprint scanner
  • Dolby Atmos sound
  • Bixby Vision, Home, and Reminder

The Galaxy A6+ is upgraded in almost every way, featuring specs including:

  • 6-inch 2220 x 1080 display with 18.5:9 aspect ratio
  • 1.8GHz octa-core processor
  • 4GB RAM
  • 32GB storage plus a microSD card slot
  • 16-megapixel rear camera with f/1.7 aperture and secondary 5-megapixel rear camera for Live Focus bokeh effects
  • 24-megapixel front camera with f/1.9 aperture
  • 3500mAh battery
  • Fingerprint scanner
  • Dolby Atmos sound
  • Bixby Vision, Home, and Reminder

Though pricing and availability details haven't been released, we fully expect the Galaxy A6 to cost less than the A6+. Both phones are well-equipped mid-range devices, with the A6+ even venturing into the lower rungs of the high-end market. Samsung is likely planning a launch in select countries throughout Europe and Asia, though again, availability information has not been announced.

What are your thoughts on these new devices from Samsung? What do you think they should be priced at?

Iran bans Telegram, releases government-approved replacement featuring 'Death to America' slogans

At the end of May, the Iranian government announced it was planning to block the use of Telegram as a result of "national security" concerns. At the time, it expressed an interest in pushing users of the messaging app onto state-sanctioned solutions, like "Soroush," before the ban went fully into effect. Last Thursday, Telegram's license to operate in the country was formally revoked and the government's preferred app was officially released—toting downloadable "Death to America" stickers. 

Aljazeera reports that the government-endorsed Soroush app was launched on the same date that Telegram's license was revoked.

Opera VPN for Android is shutting down today

Today's the end of the line for the Opera VPN app and its viking mascot Olaf. Former Opera VPN users can snag a couple of deals on SurfEasy VPN products, though: Opera Gold users get a free year of SurfEasy Ultra, which normally costs $11.99 a month, and anyone using Opera VPN can get SurfEasy Total for 99 cents a month (instead of its usual $4.99).

SurfEasy got its start in 2011 when its Kickstarter raised nearly $70,000 for a USB privacy device.

Samsung launching 128GB and 256GB versions of Galaxy S9 family

Photos and videos are getting bigger every year. The Samsung Galaxy S9 can shoot in 4K resolution at 60 FPS, and that's a lot of data. It can also do super slow motion at 960 FPS at 720p. That will eat up your storage quick, so be thankful Samsung has kept the microSD slot!

But if that's not enough for you, Samsung has announced that it is launching two new storage variants of the Galaxy S9 and S9+. You'll be able to pre-order 128GB and 256GB models starting May 1 in the US.

The Galaxy S9 will cost you $769.99 for the 128GB and $819.99 for the 256GB, while the Galaxy S9+ will cost $889.99 for the 128GB and $939.99 for the 256GB. Each model comes in Coral Blue, Lilac Purple, and Midnight Bkack and will retain the microSD slot, so you can have massive amounts of storage if you really need it.

The devices will be available on May 18 exclusively on Samsung.com, which makes sense as they're sure to be niche options. We can't imagine most people needing such large amounts of internal storage. The microSD slot covers most people's storage needs. Pre-ordering will also get you a free Gear IconX 2018 or a Gear S3 Frontier for $99.

Magisk v16.4 adds app shortcuts and bug fixes, breaks root for a few apps including Tasker

Magisk developer topjohnwu might be off serving compulsory military service, but he's still maintained a rapid release schedule for his popular root solution. Magisk v16.4 (and Magisk Manager v5.7.0) were released over the weekend, and they add a handful of technical fixes, app shortcuts, and Android P improvements, but it isn't all smooth sailing. The latest version also removes Magisk's 64-bit binaries, which may break root support for some apps, including the very popular Tasker

The full changelog for Magisk v16.4 and the corresponding Magisk Manager update (v5.7.0), are just below:

Magisk
v16.4
- [Daemon] Directly check logcat command instead of detecting logd, should fix logging and MagiskHide on several Samsung devices
- [Daemon] Fix startup Magisk Manager APK installation on Android P
- [MagiskPolicy] Switch from AOSP u:r:su:s0 to u:r:magisk:s0 to prevent conflicts
- [MagiskPolicy] Remove unnecessary sepolicy rules to reduce security penalty
- [Daemon] Massive re-design /sbin tmpfs overlay and daemon start up
- [MagiskInit] Remove magiskinit_daemon, the actual magisk daemon (magiskd) shall handle everything itself
- [Daemon] Remove post-fs stage as it is very limited and also will not work on A/B devices; replaced with simple mount in post-fs-data, which will run ASAP even before the daemon is started
- [General] Remove all 64-bit binaries as there is no point in using them; all binaries are now 32-bit only.
