- 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).

Smartphone world cup: Samsung Galaxy S9+ is our champion
Our Smartphone World Cup is over and it saw record participation. The final alone saw over 100,000 votes and not one but two changes in the lead. If this Cup taught us anything is that fan engagement is invaluable for the success of a phone. But first, congratulations go to the winner - Samsung Galaxy S9+. It won by a healthy margin, the final score was divided 58/42 in percentage terms, though it was pretty close for a while. Things changed day to day. The S9+ got the early lead and it seemed as it may cruise to victory. Yet, the OnePlus 6 rallied its fans and with 48h remaining it...
Galaxy Note9's 4,000 mAh battery confirmed by Brazil's National Telecommunications Agency
This just in - the National Telecommunications Agency in Brazil confirmed the Galaxy Note9's massive battery in a leaked document. The certification document doesn't reveal much but it confirms one of the main features the Galaxy Note9 will boast over its predecessor - the 4,000 mAh battery. Rumors about the large battery capacity have been going around since April and the bit was later confirmed by a different source in June. Now, a month later, ANATEL is here to solidify these claims with an official document. We think that it doesn't get any more legitimate than this. We hope...
Wireless Charger Duo for the Galaxy Note9 leaks, it can charge the Galaxy Watch too
Roland Quandt just posted a photo of the wireless charger that's going to be announced for the Galaxy Note9 and we have good and bad news. Remember when a leaked FCC document hinted at a crazy fast wireless charger for the Note9 with an output of 25W? Well, the leaked photo shows the very same charger called Wireless Charger Duo with model number EP-N6100. The good news is that it can charge the smartphone and the upcoming Galaxy Watch both at the same time. Pretty convenient, right? Well, yes and no, because as it turns out, the charger is rated at 25W because it has to charge not...
Oppo F9 will come with a Pro version, passes Bluetooth certification
There will be a successor to the Oppo F7 after all despite the existing phone being fresh on the shelves since this spring. The latest teaser from Oppo that appeared online suggests that the handset will be coming very soon so an August launch seems plausible. From the teaser, we can conclude that the device will come with a double camera setup on the back and historically, the phones from the F-series have been mostly selfie-centric so we can expect an upgrade to the front-facing snapper as well. Meanwhile, the F9 has popped up on the Bluetooth certification website hinting at...
Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium hands-on review
Premium Sony Xperias is where a lot of firsts happen - first 4K display on a smartphone with the Z5 Premium, first HDR display on a smartphone with the XZ Premium alongside 960fps super slow-mo video recording, and now, on the Xperia XZ2 Premium - a dual camera for the first time on a Sony smartphone (a bit late to that party, eh?).
