Update: August 12, 2021 (11:31 AM ET): Honor CEO George Zhao has confirmed to Android Authority that the newly announced Magic 3 series will be getting “at least” two Android OS updates.
This comes after Honor previously suggested that the Magic 3 series might only receive one major OS update. We’re glad to see this isn’t the case, especially when these phones cost at least €900.
Original article: August 12, 2021 (8:56 AM ET): Honor was sold by Huawei last year, allowing the former sub-brand to become independent and regain ties with global partners like Google and Qualcomm.
Update, June 26, 2019 (11:50 AM ET): After months of waiting, Human: Fall Flat is available for download from the Play Store.

Click on the button below to purchase the mobile game for $4.99. Before some complain that this is too much, remember that Human: Fall Flat initially launched on Steam for $15.

Reports suggest Samsung could introduce a new smartphone line to India. Dubbed the Galaxy F series, the line will reportedly focus on camera smarts. The line is aimed at the ~$272 segment, which could see it compete with Samsung’s own Galaxy M series. If you thought two mid-range Samsung smartphone lines just weren’t enough, you’re in luck. The company is reportedly set to introduce yet another mid-range smartphone series to India in the form of the Galaxy F line.
If you are looking to get a smartphone similar to a headset in the Samsung Galaxy Note series, but without a premium price, T-Mobile’s latest phone might be worth a look. The LG Stylo 3 Plus combines a large 5.7-inch display with an included stylus pen for the mid-range price of $225 without a contract.
