100% Working Method To Download Paid Apps On Playstore For Free

GOOGLE Play Store is the official app store for all Android operating system. It is a software developed by Google that allows users to browse and download applications, music, magazines, books, movies, etc.

I'm sure you know that Google Play Store apps are divided into two categories - Free and Paid apps. Free apps are available for free whereas Paid apps are premium which we can only download by paying money. Every Android user wants to download paid apps for free from Google Play Store.

Some months before, I posted an article on how to download any paid software from Google Play Store for free via GetApk, but the method was no more reliable ever since the users started upgrading their Android Device to the 6th major version of the Android operating system (Android 6.0 Marshmallow) and above.

There are many other tricks out there, but most of them are now not working. Shelaf is back with another 100% working method to download Google Play Store Paid Apps for free. You can do that easily using an application called AppVN.

AppVN is a powerful android app designed to unlock and automatically purchase any paid apps from Google Play Store without you paying a dime. The amazing thing about this app is that it doesn't require root access before it can perform the tasks, so it is not compulsory for you to root your Android device before you can enjoy AppVN.

AppVN is not available on the Google Play Store. Download it from the link below and install it on your Android device easily - Download AppVN Here

By default, the app is in another language, but you’ll need to change the language into English from the setting.

To Download Paid Apps for free using Appvn
After installing, open the AppVN. Then you will have to change the language to English by tapping on the MENU and Tap on Cai Dat (settings).
Then scroll down again to Cai dat ngon ngu (set language), tap and open it. Change your language to English. As shown below;

To download paid apps for free, simply go to GOOGLE Play Store and locate the paid app you want to download, scroll down to SHARE, then tap on AppVN in the options. As shown below;

OnePlus has announced that its limited edition OnePlus 3T Midnight Black is going to be slightly less exclusive, as the company will be selling more units of the device beyond the originally planned 250.

OnePlus has announced that its limited edition OnePlus 3T Midnight Black is going to be slightly less exclusive, as the company will be selling more units of the device beyond the originally planned 250.

OnePlus will be making another 250 units available through Hypebeast website on March 24, 4PM GMT. Additional units will be available at a later date from OnePlus.net in North America and Europe.

Last week the company announced the Midnight Black edition as a limited edition model to celebrate the 20th anniversary of concept store Colette in Paris, where 250 units were to be made available at a pop-up store on March 21. The response was likely strong enough for OnePlus to consider selling more of these units. Or maybe that was the plan all along and the original announcement was a ruse; we will never know.

The phone features three layers of paint coatings 14 microns thick to maintain the look and feel of metal. The phone is then sandblasted and an anti-fingerprint layer is applied. The phone only comes in 128GB storage option and is priced at $479 / €479 / £439.

The LG G6 has over 40,000 pre-orders in Korea

The LG G6 is yet to officially hit stores, but interest is already high. The rounded-display smartphone has been available for pre-order in its home market, since last Thursday (March 2) and interest looks nicely high.

The company boasts over 40,000 units, already pre-ordered. This figure trumps most initial sales predictions and there are at least a few factors that could have contributed to this. For one, LG's plan to move its launch ahead of Samsung's Galaxy S8 pair seems to be working great. Not only should initial units start going out to their eager owners in South Korea, as early as March 10, but there is also the matter of early hands-on possibility. Users in the country have been able to test the G6 at one of 3,000 retail stores since February 27.

LG is also luring buyers in with quite a few early-bird deals. Those pre-ordering the handset at a price of KRW 899,800 (around $800) will be getting benefits up to $390 in the form of one year screen replacement warranty, an original case, and an option to choose from several other accessories such as LG ‘TonePlus’ Bluetooth headset and Raleigh keyboard 2.

You can check our hands-on review, for a more in-depth look at the handset.

Fitbit introduces Alta HR with a heart-rate sensor

Fitbit recently reduced the prices of its devices in the United States, including the stylish Fitbit Alta that went from $129.95 to $85. Today we understood why - the company introduced the new Fitbit Alta HR which adds a heart-rate monitor.

The fitness company threw in doubt investors and fans after it announced terrible financial results for Q4 2016 but apparently had something up the sleeve - the new Fitbit Alta HR. It is still stylish like its predecessor Fitbit Alta, but now has a heart-rate monitor on the back. It also has a tap-sensitive OLED display and five-day battery life. The device tracks steps, sleep cycles and shows notifications from the smartphone if constantly connected through Bluetooth.

Charge, Blaze and Surge fitness bands already had heart-rate monitors and now the Alta joins the family. Fitbit used to collect sleep info for a long time but now it can show light, deep and REM sleep stages in Sleep Insights. The same software will be rolled to the Charge 2 band and the Blaze watch next month when the Alta HR hits the shelves.

If you decide to go for Fitbit Alta HR, you have to pull $150 out of your pocket which is $20 more than the original Fitbit Alta when launched. The device will ship worldwide in early April.

Samsung Galaxy S8 to be released on April 28, a week later than initially planned

The rate at which new rumors and leaks about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 are popping up nowadays can make it hard to keep up with all the details. One thing that's remained steady in most mumblings we've heard so far has been the purported release date for the two handsets - April 21. We've had no reason to doubt this since the unveiling is actually happening on March 29 as has been rumored before that date became official. And the same sources that had shared that also talked about the April 21 in-store launch.

Now though one of those sources is back with an updated release date for the S8 duo. We're talking about Evan Blass, famously known by his @evleaks moniker, who says there's been a slight delay in Samsung's plans. Mind you, the Korean company hasn't announced the launch date for the handsets yet, so you can't think of this as a delay in the normal sense of the word.

However, it's now claimed that the S8 an S8+ will only be out on April 28, one week later than the date in Samsung's initial plan. It's unclear why this happened, but of course it's easy to speculate that Samsung's foundry wasn't able to ramp up production for the Exynos 9 and Snapdragon 835 chipsets that will power the S8 phones as quickly as anticipated. It may also have something to do with the company performing additional testing, since it clearly wants to ensure there will be no Note7-like issues plaguing the S8s.

LG is clearly going to be happy with this if it pans out, since it means its recently unveiled G6 will get to spend an extra week on the market all by itself, before its main competitor lands.

Coming Soon Device: Tecno L9 and L9 Plus, See The Rumored Specs And Images

Tecno mobile is already on course to unveil another powerful device, a successor to Tecno L8. The company is embarking upon a more sophisticated Tecno L9. The L8 is well-known for its powerful battery. The smartphone has two versions, the normal L8, and the L8 Plus. The upcoming Tecno L9 will also have two versions, Tecno L9 and Tecno L9 Plus.

Tecno L9 and Tecno L9 Plus will be the latest addition to the L-Series and also Tecno first Smartphone this 2017. As expected, there will a much better design and software upgrade on the L8.

Tecno-mobile has come again with their innovative marketing strategy, the last time, it was #BeautyAndTheBeast which is Tecno Phantom 6 and Phantom 6+, but this time, they dare the boyfriend association with their hilarious caption.

L-series phones are known for coming with high capacity batteries, as the L8 and L8 plus all have a massive 5050mAh battery capacity, it's expected that the TECNO L9 and Tecno L9 plus will not be an exception, but coming to other specs like RAM size, Tecno L9 is expected to feature 3 GB while the Tecno L9 Plus should come with a 4GB RAM.

Tecno L8 supports the 2G, 3G and 4G network. The support the three generations of networks is excellent, so we expect Tecno L9 and L9 plus specs to do the same. L9 plus might do better with the upload and download speed of the three networks.

L8 is a dual SIM smartphone and has a body dimension of 154 x 77.5 x 8.85 mm. Tecno L8 weigh about 135 grams. Tecno L9 is however expected to be larger. There may be the reduction in its weight and thickness. Also expected to come in more varieties of colors, unlike the L8 which has only two varieties (black and white).

Tecno L9 will likely use the same IPS capacitive touchscreen that is used in Tecno L8. The IPS capacitive touchscreen is also expected to support over 16 million colors. Unlike the Tecno L8 which runs the Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system, the upcoming L9 and L9 plus are expected to come with Android 7.0 Nougat.

The 16GB internal storage in Tecno L8 is relatively small, so we expect a larger internal storage space. It is difficult to tell what type of processor the upcoming Tecno L9 will feature. Tecno L8 features the MediaTek processor, but we expect something of a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.

These are the expected Tecno L9 and Tecno L9 Plus Specs. Stay glued and connected for an updated information on this smartphone, actual release date, and its price.

The new feature "WhatsApp Status" will let users share photos, GIFs or videos overlaid with drawings, emojis and a caption that will be visible to selected friends for 24 hours, before disappearing. The feature was tested in November last year and was pushed to beta testers last week.

It's easy to create Status messages, especially if you've used the aforementioned Stories feature in either Snapchat or Instagram.

Google App v6.13 to bring Google Assistant to non-Pixels, or at least maybe

Google's personal assistant, quite creatively called Google Assistant, is so far only officially available on the Pixel and Pixel XL, as smartphones go. However, a new alpha release of the Google app (v6.13) for users signed up to the beta channel suggest that might be changing in the near future.

The folks over at Android Police report that the app enables the Assistant by holding the Home button (instead of Now on Tap) on at least one Galaxy Note5 (running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow) and a Nexus 6P (latest 7.1.1 Nougat). Then again, another Nexus 6P refuses to behave this way, so it's only down to speculation what set of conditions need to be met.

Non-Pixels aside, the new version of the Google app enables adding payment information to Assistant, so you can have it pay for stuff for you. Additionally, v6.13 adds a recent searches page and a lite mode.

You can click on the source link below to download the APK, but be sure to read the warnings first.

[Flames] Red Meizu Pro 6 Plus shows up in live images

Meizu is no stranger to unorthodox paint jobs and last summer we saw the Pro 6 in what was dubbed the Flames Red color scheme. Well, the Pro 6 Plus has now shown up on Weibo in a new color outside of the usual Pink-Rose-Gold spectrum.

It's an even brighter and more striking hue than the Pro 6 before it, and if a color deserves to be called Flames Red, this is it. Side by side with the Pro 6 non-Plus you can see the difference, and if that's not enough red for your eyes, the towel used for the background complements the two phones with yet another shade.

The box looks the same as the one that more inconspicuous versions come in, just like the Gold one we had for review a few weeks ago. There's no reason to believe that the phone's internals are any different either.

See The 4 Easy Way To Revive And Save A Wet Phone

Common domestic accidents have seen people lose their smartphones in water overtime but quick solutions to the problem have emerged.

Phones usually slip out of our hands or pockets dropping on the ground, wet floor or even in a bowl of water from time to time or you could decide to jump in the pool forgetting that your mobile phone is still in your pocket.

There is still hope that the phone is not totally damaged. Try out these tips immediately you remove the phone from water, it wouldn’t cost you a dime.

Check out the well tested steps to salvage such accidents below:

1. Do not turn back on your phone right away (keep it off until you know it’s totally dry or if phone is still on immediately take off the battery).

2. Remove all peripherals from the device (back cover, case, battery, headphones and any other removable gadget).

3. Use a vacuum to drain moisture from the device (Try to get as much of the water out of it as possible).

4. Use a substance with a high affinity for drawing out moisture (An inexpensive option is to place the phone in a bowl or bag of uncooked rice or desiccant “usually found with new shoes” for at least 24hrs or just cover the phone in towels).

If the above steps fail, kindly refer to a professional phone repair with a history of success around you.

New Lenovo phone leaks in images

A new Lenovo smartphone has leaked in live images. Posted on Weibo, the shots focus on the back and the side of the handset, revealing the position of its rear camera and speaker.

Honor 8 Lite appears in Finland, specs and official photos revealed

Yesterday some images of a Honor-branded device appeared in a phone case. Sources were talking about Honor 8 Lite and today we've got confirmation of their words.

The device comes with 5.2” LTPS display with Full HD resolution and 2.5D glass on top of it. The chipset underneath is the octa-core Kirin 655, and the RAM is 3GB. The internal memory is just 16GB but we can see a slot for SIM, that probably doubles as a microSD.

The fingerprint scanner is located on the back and there are no frontal hardware buttons.

If it all sounds familiar it's because the phone is identical to the Huawei P8 lite (2017). The only difference seems to be the 12 MP camera, which will have F2.2 aperture, which is slower than P8 (2017)’s F2.0 aperture. The front camera is 8 MP with 77-degree angle of view.

Honor 8 Lite is already on pre-order in Finland for €269 with actual sales starting on Ferbuary 17. It will initially be available in black and white. Black and Blue options will hit the shelves at the end of March.

The OnePlus 3T with its Snapdragon 821 and Huawei Mate 9 Pro with the Kirin 960 are two of the most powerful Android phones out there. Both devices run Android Nougat and have 6GB of RAM. That’s why PhoneBuff put both devices to a speed test.

The test itself is opening a set of applications in the same order - launching, waiting to load, starting if there’s a button available and then moving on to the next one. After going through all basic apps like social media, games, streaming platforms and browser, time is logged as Lap 1. Then comes the second round - how fast do the opened apps start again when all of them are launched. In theory lap 2 should be easier for phones with more RAM as they can leave apps running in the background.

The OnePlus 3T starts off well with the preloaded apps like the Photo Gallery and the camera one. Then when the games come up, Mate 9 Pro just blasts past the 3T. Then when it is about reopening the apps, Huawei’s device actually stumbles at Fit the Fat mobile game - it isn’t able to keep it opened. That way 3T just cruises to the finish and regains the lead.

Of course, both devices are pretty fast so even if OnePlus 3T is a tiny bit faster, the Mate 9 Pro certainly won't leave you waiting for too long.

Report suggests the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will have bigger batteries than the S7 duo

Samsung SDI will provide the batteries for the Galaxy S8 and a new report suggests they will have larger capacities than the S7 batteries.

The Galaxy S8 will have a 3,250mAh battery and the Galaxy S8 Plus a 3,750mAh one according to the report. That’s up from S7’s 3,000mAh and S7 edge’s 3,600mAh battery.

Those batteries will have to feed larger screens - 5.8” and 6.2” according to the latest info - though the Snapdragon 835 is reportedly more battery efficient than the 820 chipset it replaces. The rumor mill expects the Galaxy S8 duo to go on sale on April 21 for €800 and €900 respectively.

Xiaomi Redmi Pro 2 spec leak: single camera with Dual Pixel AF, bigger battery

The Redmi Pro was an experiment by Xiaomi - it used a China-made OLED display and a dual-camera. Now its successor is on the horizon and a screen snap that (allegedly) shows its specs.

The Xiaomi Redmi Pro 2 drops the dual camera but its single digital eye on the back uses a better sensor - the 12MP Sony IMX 362. This is a 1/2.55” sensor with large 1.4µm pixels and Dual Pixel autofocus. That’s a good deal better than the 1µm pixels that the Mi Note and Mi Mix got.

Other changes include a larger battery, 4,500mAh (up from the already ample 4,050mAh), and a version with 6GB of RAM. That one is tied to 128GB of storage and will cost CNY 1,800 ($260/€245). The base version is 4GB/64GB and should be priced CNY 1,600 ($230/€220). For comparison, the original Redmi Pro with 128GB storage (and 4GB of RAM) cost CNY 2,000.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 clears the FCC

With leaks poring in from an astounding number of industry sources, it is not uncommon to get glimpses of upcoming devices really early in their development cycle. However, few actually manage to linger in the rumor mill for almost a whole year, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. Most sources seem to agree that the delay was somehow related to the unfortunate Galaxy Note7 saga. But now that is finally put to rest and the Tab S3 appears closer to a release than ever.

The device already received its Wi-Fi certification, as well as a Bluetooth one. Now, we can add FCC to the listl. Actually, two distinct models were certified by the authority. The SM-T820, which is a Wi-Fi only version and the SM-T825 - with 3G and 4G connectivity added to the mix.

We are not quire sure how this relates to one of the earlier Tab S3 leaks, which mentions two distinct screen size variations as well - one at 9.7 inches and another at 8 inches. The FCC document doesn’t really weigh in on this. However, most sources lean towards a 9.7-inch Super AMOLED panel, with a resolution of 2,048x1,536px, so a 4:3 ratio.

The debate is also out, regarding the chipset. An Exynos 7420 has been mentioned in the past. But a Snapdragon 820 seems more likely at this point. Other suggested specs include 4GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and a 12.8MP, plus 5MP camera setup.

Since the Galaxy S8 is not going to make it to MWC this year, it could very well be the Galaxy Tab S3 that ends up the star of the show.

Thanks for the tip Michael.

Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 won't get Android 7.1.2

It turns out that the Motorola Nexus 6 and HTC Nexus 9 are getting the cold shoulder on the Android 7.1.2 update. That was confirmed to DroidLife by a Google employee.

Android 7.1.2 is the next planned update and will be out in a few months with some optimizations and bug fixes. Since both the Nexus 9 and Nexus 6 are past their updates-guaranteed timeframe (2 years) it's no surprise to see them left out.

On a positive note Google will continue to bring the must-have security patches to both devices for at least another year. That's good news for people reluctant to let go of their older Nexus devices.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 taken apart, easily

It’s best if you never have to, but if you do need to take apart your Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 at least now you have a guide. And as it turns out, it’s not that much of a hassle.

Most components (including the aluminum back cover) are not secured by screws so you just need to pry them off. Usually, it’s either glue or double-sided tape that holds pieces to the motherboard and the team at FoneArena that disassembled the phone reports it worked just fine after they put it back together.

Here’s an interesting note - the Redmi Note 4 that is powered by a Snapdragon 625 used a Sony IMX 258 sensor (13MP/1.12µm) while the MediaTek-powered model from China used a Samsung S5K3L8 ISOCELL sensor (13MP/1.12µm).

Nokia and Orange will develop 5G networks together

Nokia and Orange have partnered up to develop the future 5G mobile networks. Key updates include “Ultra Broadband” and Internet of Things support. Nokia’s infographic on 5G details the possibilities of a 5G network, which will go far beyond mobile phones.

Everything from smart clothes to road toll collection is on the cards. This approach will greatly increase the number of “users” on the mobile network, be they your smart fridge or a robot in an automated factory (Nokia expects billions of connections). This will be achieved with “Dynamic Network Slicing” which will allow the carrier to configure its networks for many various use cases and requirements and run them simultaneously on the same equipment.

Then there are high-bandwidth applications like 8K video and VR gaming. For those, the Nokia and Orange joint team are planning “massive MIMO” and new frequency bands to build on the current 4.5G and soon to be deployed 4.9G networks, which already promise gigabit per second peak speeds.


Nokia says there are already 90 customers that have deployed 4.5G and this year 4.5G Pro is coming with “ten times the speed of initial 4G networks” and a clear upgrade path to 4.9G (several gigabits per second and latencies below 10ms) and then on the 5G.

Samsung has its own plans for 5G and is collaborating with T-Mobile (also, last year it ran a trial on China Mobile).

Apple sells more Plus phones in Q4 2016 than ever

Apple is about to reveal its financial results for 4Q 2016 and they may contain a surprise - the company sold more iPhone 7 Plus units than any of the previous Plus-sized handsets. The company decided to equip the 7 Plus with more cameras, better battery life and more RAM than iPhone 7 and the result is said to be 24 million devices sold, compared with 15.5M iPhone 6s Plus phones in 4Q 2015. That’s 55% increase solely based on improving the hardware, compared with the flagship device from the same series.

Overall demand for the iPhone 7 has struggled throughout the October-December quarter which is first in Apple’s fiscal year. According to analysts from Cowen & Co, the data Apple is going to release tomorrow will reveal that people are unwilling to upgrade as often as expected. Part of the reason might be rumors about an 10-year Anniversary phone that kept a lot of consumers back when deciding to get the new iPhone.

The financial results show us also that this is the first time users in China preferred the Plus-sized iPhone to the regular one. 52% of the Apple fans decided to go with a iPhone 7 Plus compared with 40% who bought the predecessor iPhone 6s Plus.

Snap Inc. is filing for IPO next week

Snapchat is a social media that you either can’t live without or don’t understand. But either way there are strong opinions which makes the platform so popular. And due to its popularity the company behind it, Snap Inc, plans to file for initial public offering(IPO) next week. This means Snapchat will go public sometime in March after procedures are cleared.

The timing of the IPO is not finalized. We haven’t seen a big IPO a long time ago and we are quite eager to see how it will roll out. Sources say the company is aiming to be valued at $25 billion.

Snap’s main product, Snapchat, is among the most popular social networks for young demographic around the world mostly thanks to its ephemeral product but Evan Spiegel, CEO of Snapchat, says half of the new users are over 25 years old.

Snapchat became so successful that Facebook started copying its products after the unsuccessful purchase in 2012 for $3B when Spiegel declined the offer.

Nougat-powered Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro spotted on GFXBench

Looks like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro may get the Nougat update soon. The device running the latest Android version (version 7.1.1) has been spotted on the GFXBench benchmarking website, indicating that the update is being tested by the company.

Moto G5 clears FCC with 3,000mAh battery

The Motorola Moto G5 and G5 Plus are seemingly set for a Barcelona unveiling next month, but oddly it's been just the Plus version that's been the star in recent rumors. Well, it's the non-Plus that's stopped by the FCC, for a change.

The US telecom regulator has given it the green light, and even if it's typically not the most prolific source of intel, sifting through the papers you could still find a few interesting bits. For one, the G5 will support NFC - a first for the G-series (if you don't count certain regional versions of the Moto G4 Play, as pointed out in the comments).

The other thing, revealed by the FCC filing, is battery capacity - listed at 3,000mAh, it's slightly less than the floating 3,100mAh number for the Plus. The phone will come with a fast charger capable of outputting 14.4W at either 9V/1.6A or 12V/1.2A, as well as 5V/1.6A. You'd also be intrigued to find out that the bundled USB cable will be 1-meter long. Or not.

The rest of the so far established specs of the Moto G5 include a 5.5-inch FullHD display, 16GB of storage and a 13MP/5MP camera combo. For more, we'll need to wait until February 26.
