Yahoo Mobile shuts down, users must switch to Visible

Yahoo Mobile is an MNVO (mobile network virtual operator) that sold mobile services backed by Verizon’s network. Last month, Verizon announced it would sell its media group, which included AOL and Yahoo website properties and brands. As a result of the sale, the Yahoo Mobile network is being shut down.

The network was not particularly a popular one and the device selection was quite slim. A new page on the Yahoo Mobile site explains that “Verizon has decided to separately sell the Yahoo brand and as a result, Yahoo Mobile operations will cease.”

The new Huawei MatePad T 10 Kids Edition is designed for very young kids

Huawei introduced the MatePad T 10 Kids Edition, a tablet for young children.

Rumor: Samsung may be hiring ex Apple and AMD engineers to design a custom CPU

Samsung shut down its in-house CPU design department because the Mongoose cores underperformed compared to the stock ARM designs. Qualcomm stopped using custom cores years ago. But now things are changing.

A new report claims that Samsung is courting former CPU engineers from Apple and AMD, one of which was a major player in the development of Apple’s custom chipsets. That engineer is demanding to be fully in control of their own team and to choose which employees to bring onto said team.

Apparently Samsung is not satisfied with the performance of the new Cortex-X series and is looking…

Samsung joins the wireless file transfer standard started by Xiaomi, Oppo and vivo

Samsung joins the wireless file transfer standard started by Xiaomi, Oppo and vivo

A couple of years ago Xiaomi, Oppo and vivo joined forces to create the Mutual Transfer Alliance (MTA) – a standardized way to transfer files between devices (phones and computers) locally over a 20 MB/s wireless connection. After a few months of beta testing, the feature went live.

Since then other companies have joined the Alliance, a list that now includes Samsung. Besides the original trio, OnePlus, Meizu, ZTE, Black Shark and HiSense are on board, as is Asus and its gaming brand Republic of Gamers.

But Samsung joining the fold is a big deal. For one, it is one of the largest…
