- Facebook Camera hands-on
Facebook has kept itself rather busy in the last month or so with such tasks as going public and purchasing popular photo-sharing app Instagram, but that doesn’t mean it stopped working on other projects in the meantime. This realization is apparent with the launch of Facebook Camera, a photo-centric application that chooses to remain separated from the company’s general mobile representation. It’s still connected with social network, of course, but it brings a fresh user interface and some light Photoshop-esque features to the table: filters, cropping, zoom, twist and so on. We had the opportunity to grab the new app and take it for a spin on an iPhone, so check out the gallery and continue below for our first impressions.

- Intel posts x86-friendly Android 4.0 image, lets you feel the need for speed
Android developers are all too familiar with not-so-hot emulator performance, so it’s a relief that there’s now an system image in a native x86 for testing. While you’ll still likely want to test on ARM, the x86 image will both help ferret out bugs specific to Intel’s architecture as well as provide a much faster experience debugging apps now that the ARM-to-Intel translation isn’t needed on top of running a whole second operating system. It’s not perfectly up to date, running on Android 4.0.3, but it’s close enough that the environment will mimic much of what users see — and a big help if you’re jumping into writing specifically for Intel devices. If speed is of the essence, or you’re not keen on importing a Lava Xolo X900, you just need to update the SDK Manager to start testing with an Intel-flavored green robot.

Bump has managed to garner quite a following among iPhone and Android users, but they’ve so far only been able to transfer files between two mobile devices, not between their phone and their home computer. The company’s managed to find a workaround of sorts to that limitation though, and has today rolled out a new feature that will let you send photos (and only photos) from your phone to your desktop. To do so, you’ll first have to update the Bump app on your phone and then head to the Bump website, at which point you can simply tap the spacebar to transfer your photos (with your phone if you want to keep the whole “bump” motif going). As you can probably surmise, that means photos are transferred to Bump’s website and not directly to your computer, but that does have the added benefit of making the photos a bit easier to share on your social network of choice.

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...
