Samsung have been announcing their Galaxy flagship handsets at Mobile World Congress for as long as we can remember, but 2017 may see Samsung break this pattern with a dedicated launch event in New York this month.

The South Korean tech giants are rumoured to be releasing two sizes, both with curved screens, according to the Wall Street Journal. Recent leaked images also suggest that both handsets will featured a curved ‘infinity’ edge to edge screen and the removal of the physical home button:

LG offered incredible audio quality on the LG V20 with Quad DAC (four digital-to-analog converters). The ES9218 DAC from ESS,  featured a parallel sub-DAC configuration to improve noise performance and total harmonic distortion.

But it looks like the LG G6 might take the audio quality a step further, as it’s going to feature an upgraded Quad DAC.  The new 32-bit DAC will offer distortion levels of just 0.0002% for a clean sound and will also allow control the left and right earphones separately, for more balanced audio experience.

Rumoured to be released at MWC17, the LG G6 promises to offer an impressive new 5.7-inch QHD display. Register your interest to be the first in line for pre-orders.

We are all aware the product placement is a huge marketing tactic, but imagine our surprise to see the yet to be released BlackBerry Mercury pop up on ABC’s The Last Man Standing. The ‘DTEK70′ Mercury device is predicted to be released on Saturday 25th February, days before Mobile World Congress 2017.

The latest episode shows the QWERTY handset features plenty of screen time, being held and used by Michael Baxter, Allen’s character. The phone also showed a photo of “Brother Jimmy” with animated horns and smoke spewing out of his ears.

From the appearance we can confirm that the device will have a QWERTY keyboard underneath a 4.5-inch touchscreen display. Rumours are circulating that the QWERTY keypad will also act as a trackpad, will run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor and house a fingerprint sensor in the Space Bar.
