- Bionic owners peeved by high-pitched whine, source of the sound still a mystery
Reports have been trickling in for a few days now that Droid Bionic owners were hearing a high-pitched whine when playing media back through headphones. Well, it looks like it’s safe to say it’s a serious issue. The Motorola support forums are rife with tales of a piercing background tone and loud clicks as the audio hardware fires up and shuts down. In fact, you can find recorded examples of the sounds at the source link. So far it’s unclear if the issue is hardware or software related, and Motorola hasn’t had much to say about it just yet. We’re sure they’ll move relatively quickly to address the problem though, before Verizon stores are flooded with returned handsets.

- Canon S100 gets early October estimate from Amazon, likely to ship ahead of November release
Canon’s high-end PowerShot S-series is a mighty special breed, so we’ve been rather excited about the company’s new S100, which we were told to expect in November with a $430 sticker price. Now it looks like the S95 successor may slip out of the warehouse a month earlier than promised, with Amazon estimating ship dates as early as October 3rd. In an industry where delays are much more prevalent than quiet early releases, this is certainly welcome news for the highly anticipated pocket cam, which packs a 12.1 megapixel CMOS sensor and f/2.0 (variable) zoom lens. Shipping estimates are always subject to change, so don’t count on any miracles until that FedEx tracking number hits your inbox.
[Thanks, Don]

Meizu M9 Note lands in mid-February with 48 MP main camera, 4,000 mAh battery
Meizu has just announced the Zero, a phone with no buttons or ports, but the Chinese company is also working on less revolutionary devices. A handset that is expected to become official in mid-February is the Meizu M9 Note. It will come with a dual rear camera system, with the main sensor being the 48 MP Samsung GM1. It's a big 1/2" sensor, with 0.8µm pixels (but you can count that as being 1.6µm because 4-in-1 pixel binning will be present, resulting in 12 MP default images). Meizu founder Huang Zhang has confirmed this info, also adding that the M9 Note will be powered by the...
Deal: Save £150 when you buy a 256GB iPhone XS in the UK
Have you been meaning to buy an iPhone XS but haven't gotten round to doing that just yet? Are you in the UK or able to order from Amazon UK? Was the 256GB version the one you had in mind? If you answered yes to all of these questions, then you're in luck. Amazon has decided to shave a cool £150 off of the usual price of the 256GB iPhone XS. Hence, you can now get one for just £999, compared to the £1,149 price you'd normally have to pay. The retailer doesn't explicitly mention it, but we strongly suspect this is a limited time offer, especially as Apple's UK website still shows the...
Huawei P10 and Honor 9 receive EMUI 9.0.1 update with January security patches
Today Huawei has started sending out a new software update to the P10, its flagship smartphone from the first half of 2017. Additionally, the Honor 9 is getting the same software, namely EMUI 9.0.1. Currently the rollout is happening only in China, but it's clearly only a matter of time before the new release hits other markets. EMUI 9.0.1 comes with the January 2019 security patches, and it's based on Android 9 Pie like EMUI 9 was before it. EMUI 9 with Android Pie was released in Asia for the P10 and Honor 9 back in December of last year, and it's nice to see Huawei and its sub-brand...
Honor View 20 review
Honor's View lineup is back and significantly better than before. For starters, it's got a much more attractive glass back and metal frame while the front no longer has a notch of any kind. The back of the phone is ultra-shiny and easily one of the best-looking smartphones around. Honor has innovated on pushing the glass back cover into something more and we love what it has come up with.
Huawei will reveal its 5G plans tomorrow
Huawei increased its R&D spending in preparation for the launch of 5G. Now the company wants to talk about what it has been working on with a "pre-MWC" briefing to be held on January 24 in Beijing (that's tomorrow). The event will be livestreamed and it will kick off Huawei's 5G efforts. The company wants to deliver a double-hitter by unveiling a foldable 5G phone - either at the MWC or in the second half of 2019. Sub-brand Honor will release a 5G phone too. Huawei teases a 5G Wi-Fi 6 router for tomorrow We don't actually expect to see a phone tomorrow, certainly not a full...
