- Samsung Smart TVs getting Monopoly and The Game of Life as first two EA titles
Samsung Smart TVs can now boast more than just bird flinging in the games department, with EA today dipping its toe in the Samsung App store in the form of two major digital board games: Monopoly and The Game of Life. The games cost $10 a pop, and are controllable with your WiFi-enabled Samsung Galaxy SI, SII, and SIII mobiles — you’ll need to snag “mobile companion apps” for each game to enable controls, which adds some tilt sensor-based waggle (the apps are free). That brings the grand total of notable standalone games on Samsung’s Smart TVs to three, but then there’s always Gaikai support to tide you over as well, eh? And hey, we hear there’s a new Nintendo machine on the way pretty soon, in case you wanna go down the rabbit hole even deeper.

- Facebook updates iOS app with features from standalone Messenger and Camera apps
It’s not folding all of its apps back into one, but Facebook has now rolled out an updated version of its main iOS app that incorporates some features first seen in its standalone apps. That includes the ability to swipe left anywhere in the app to see who’s available to send a message to, as well as the ability to add the friends you message the most to the top of your favorites — both features drawn from Messenger. You’ll also get the new “upload flow” from Facebook’s Camera app that promises to let you share multiple photos faster, and the ability to send Facebook Gifts directly from the app (although that remains a US-only feature).

Weekly poll results: Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11 Lite 5G and Mi 11i get an enthusiastic reception
Last week’s poll shows that camera features and 5G connectivity are key factors when choosing a new phone these days – especially an expensive flagship. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has impressive camera hardware, which earned it a very positive reception by fans. The €1,200 price tag is going to be tough to swallow, though, which is why many were asking about the Mi 11 Pro. Currently, Xiaomi has seemingly no intention to launch the Pro globally, so for most of the world it is not an option. The Mi 11 Ultra is €450 more expensive than the vanilla Mi 11. That one has a fairly large sensor of...
