Several unidentified men in Pune, Maharashtra have destroyed the stores of popular Chinese mobile phone brands Vivo and Oppo, in order to express their solidarity to Indian army.

As per the reports, the attackers have torn down posters of the two brands in addition to destroying their shops. It remains unclear whether store personnel, or any other individuals inside those stores, were injured during the attack.

The incident is not only harming those Chinese companies but also the properties and investment of our fellow Indians. These attacks could only dampen China’s economic relationship with India, a major market for most Chinese electronic products.

It is already a known fact to everyone that the Indian smartphone market is completely dominated by Chinese smartphone vendors including Gionee, Vivo, and Oppo. According to the earlier reports, Oppo and Vivo are looking to overtake Samsung in the Offline Market in India by Investing Rs. 2200 Crore for Marketing.

Google is planning to announce new Pixel devices for 2017 later this year, and we have already seen our first Potential Look at what the 2017 Pixel XL will look like.

Summing up the leaks, the Pixel XL 2 will be having a 6-inch near bezel-less AMOLED display with 18:9 ratio. Additionally, the Google Pixel XL 2017 might feature a squeezy side, just like we have seen on the HTC U11, which will allow you to interact with the phone, primarily when using Google Assistant.

Many of the leaks we've been tracking in the last few days in particular offer only few design details beyond what we've already heard about Google's upcoming Pixel XL, but thanks to Benjamin Geskin's render, we now have a clearer idea of how the new handset might look alongside current Pixel smartphones.

The 6-inch Pixel XL 2 with 18:9 ratio do looks beautiful as compared to the duo-Pixel devices. The huge-chin is now gone and we now have the 3D glass instead of the flat display. So, will you be upgrading your current Pixel/Pixel XL to Next-Gen Pixel(s)?
