Front and rear panels for the iPhone 8 leak, glass backs for iPhone 7s and 7s Plus too

-


Mere hours ago a leak claimed to show us the metal frame of the upcoming iPhone 8, and now we can basically complete the picture. That's because of the two images you see below, which show the device's front and back panels.



These are said to come from "a friend in the industry" and they certainly look more believable than other such revelations from the past. The first picture shows just the front and rear panels for the iPhone 8, as you can see. This is going to be the most expensive iPhone yet, and it will feature a near-bezelless AMOLED panel provided by Samsung.


The screen won't have a standard shape, as it turns out. So if you've been hating the camera cutout in the Essential Phone's display, you're probably not going to love the fact that the iPhone 8 features an even bigger cutout up top, where the earpiece and selfie cam are located. Otherwise though the bezels are as slim as can be.

There's no Touch ID fingerprint scanner on the back, so this image suggests Apple will in fact go with an under-screen sensor as rumored. The cutout for the dual camera array on the rear is slotted vertically, something we have already seen in past leaks.



Moving on, we have the second shot, which pits the iPhone 8's front and back panels against the alleged rear panels for the upcoming iPhone 7s and 7s Plus. We only get a glimpse of these, but it's obvious that they're made out of glass, and not aluminum like for the previous iPhones. So we assume the oft-rumored wireless charging functionality will be launching on all three 2017 handsets. Aside from the change in the material used, the rear panels look pretty similar to those of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, including the camera cutouts.

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.
