OnePlus 5 price, specs tipped ahead of June 20 launch
OnePlus 5 appears to be the smartphone everyone is waiting for at the moment. The company has always claimed to make flagship smartphones available at a low price and it has found its audience in those seeking value for money. This time, however, the price may actually be a lot closer to flagship smartphones than before. The OnePlus 5 could indeed end up costing almost as much as the iPhone 7 or the Samsung Galaxy S8, but will people buy it at that price? We’ll find out soon enough.

On news closer home, Amazon India has announced OnePlus 5 will be up for purchase on June 22, the day it arrives in the country. The source code of the Amazon India Web page also revealed the smartphone will have 8GB of RAM.

iPhone 6, iPhone 7 available on discount in India
Flipkart is selling the iPhone 6 with 16GB storage at its lowest price yet in India; this is part of the company’s Father’s Day promotion, and the offer lasts till June 10. Interestingly, the iPhone SE is available at the same price via Flipkart. Amazon India is never too far from the competition either, as the e-commerce website has put the iPhone 7 on sale. Thanks to this competition, you can now get pretty much any iPhone you want at a good price.

The latest leak gives us a hint of a new variant of the smartphone, which has been codenamed Unknown Heart if rumours are to be believed.

iPhone 8, iPhone 7s rumours roll on
We’re reaching that phase where every day brings a few new iPhone rumours. The latest ones show critical design details and reveal information about the smartphone’s production. The new report may be credible because it confirms some things we’ve already seen in previous leaks.

It lets you delete messages on both your and recipient’s phones within 5 minutes, making this a must-have for many people who wish they could take back certain things they sent. Reportedly, the WhatsApp feature will be activated remotely on phones with 2.17.30 version of the app or higher.

‘Siri nowhere near as good as Alexa or Google Assistant’
A former Apple employee has reportedly claimed that Apple’s Siri is not anywhere near as good as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. All three are voice-based virtual assistants but Siri still lags behind, the employee claims. This may not come as a surprise to anyone who has used all three virtual assistants, but with Apple’s HomePod being launched at WWDC 2017, people might want to factor in Siri into their buying decisions.
