LG might soon start selling iPhones in its stores in Korea, report claims

LG is exiting the mobile business and yet its LG Best Shop locations in Korea may soon find themselves full of people looking to buy a new phone – not one made by LG, but by Apple. Such a move makes sense as LG stores will soon find themselves with empty floor space and available sales assistants that used to be dedicated to LG phones.

According to Business Korea Apple and LG are still in the process of negotiations with some major bits to work out. First off, will these Apple corners within the LG stores be operated by Apple employees or will LG employees from the mother-store help…

The LG phones that could be surface: LG Stylo 7, LG K33 and K35

LG mothballed its smartphone business, but when that happened several new models were in different stages of development. The LG Velvet 2 Pro was apparently close enough to being ready that LG had a few thousand units produced, which it sold to employees.

OnePlus Nord CE 5G starts receiving its first software update

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G just went on sale and it’s already getting an OTA update addressing some issues and bumping up Google’s security patch to May 2021.

The changelog mentions improvements to the color accuracy of the display, ironing of some stability issues and tuning for the selfie portrait mode.

The software version is OxygenOS 11.0.2.2 but the interesting part is that it’s still not being widely distributed, with only a limited number of early adopters confirming they got it. There’s not even a post in OnePlus’ community forum about the update so you might have to wait a…

Xiaomi’s MIUI has come a long way in recent years and we’ve often praised the custom skin for how mature it has become. However, there are still some bugs and inconsistencies feature-wise from one Xiaomi phone to the other. To fix that the company is now gathering a MIUI Pioneer Team.
