Like a few other smartphone OEMs, HTC has been struggling become the manufacturer they once were. After the deal with Google went down many predicted they would exit the smartphone industry and focus on VR, but the company says they aren't giving up on smartphones. Their mainstream flagship smartphone is now referred to as the HTC U series, but the variants are for those in more affordable brackets. Earlier this year they released the HTC Desire 12 and the HTC Desire 12+ and now they have added a new smartphone to this series called the HTC Desire 12s.

In a rather interesting turn of events, the once highly coveted Palm technology company has just launched a new (yet tiny) Android smartphone. Seemingly called simply the Palm Phone, the device has a 3.3-inch display, is exclusive to Verizon Wireless, and requires you to have another phone. The device is not inspired by PalmOS, or even WebOS, but comes from a company who says they are “reinventing” a Palm ethos rather than bringing it back. That said, its limitations and $350 price tag will be available sometime next month.

The LG Q6 is a low-end Android smartphone released last year powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435. Being a low-end phone, the expectation is that it won't receive many (if any) software updates. It launched with Android 7.1 Nougat last year and hasn't received a major update since. That's set to change, though, as according to a report from Korean publication kbench, it's being updated to Android Oreo (Android 8.1). That update has a few added extras, including DTS:X 3D stereo sound and a number of new camera LED features.
