- First ASUS G55VW gaming laptop configuration spotted and priced
ASUS‘s G-series has been warming the laps of gamers for a while, whether it’s the smart G74 or the elder statesman G73JH. The newest splinter of the G-team, however, is the G55 line. Right now, it’s the G55VW-DS71 that’s just had its specifications splayed out for all to see. It’ll be a quad-core i7-3610QM Ivy Bridge chip calling the shots, with a 2GB NVIDIA GTX 660M providing graphical backup. A solid 12GB of DDR3, 1,333MHz RAM and a 750GB HDD will come with the configuration mentioned here. There are two drive bays, though, so you can set it up to your liking, and higher spec versions of this 15.6″ machine will be coming in the future. It’s only up for pre-order at the moment, but $1,475 will make sure it finds its way to you once released, hopefully around the end of this month — the Intel gods willing.

Optimum | Email this | Comments - Sprint discontinues HTC EVO 3D online, limited quantities remain at retail stores
It’s not like we’re gonna argue with Sprint’s rationale, but the EVO 3D has met its end at the Now Network. Visitors to the carrier’s online store will notice that the gee-whiz smartphone is no longer available for sale, and Sprint reps have confirmed to us that it’s not coming back. Those who insist on owning an EVO 3D will be glad to know that the handset is still available at Sprint’s retail outlets, but according to the carrier, quantities are rather limited. Given a phone that debuted less than a year ago, its abrupt and unceremonious demise comes as a bit of a shock, but with the mighty EVO 4G LTE on the horizon, we can’t blame the carrier one bit.

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...
