Google Cardboard Camera
Google has released a new camera app for those who have the Google Cardboard or similar apparatus with them for viewing VR content. The app captures 3D 360 degree panoramas along with sound, which can then be viewed through the Google Cardboard. The app differs from the photosphere functionality in the camera app since the images are 3D, not to mention the ambient sound it captures for more immersion. The app is only available on Android for now.

Adobe Premiere Clip
Adobe Premiere Clip is a mini version of Premiere Pro CC for your iOS and Android devices. The app can automatically combine photos and videos on your phone or tablet, add a soundtrack, and make a video out of it or you can do it manually if you wish. Once done, you can share it from within the app or even export it to Adobe Creative Cloud so you can then import it to Premiere Pro and edit it further over there.

Yahoo Messenger
Yahoo has released a completely redesigned version of its Messenger app on both, iOS and Android. The redesign brings a fresh new look to the app, along with new features such as ability to send multiple full-resolution photos and GIFs, ability to Like messages and photos, and unsending messages. There is a carousel for displaying shared photos and the built-in GIF search means you don’t have to go anywhere else to find the perfect GIF to send.

Mad Aces
Mad Aces is an endless runner of sorts, where you are flying sideways and have to ram into obstacles and avoid or shoot the spikes. The fast paced gameplay, split second decision making, and simple controls make it addictive and it looks good too. Besides, it’s also free.

Orph
Orph is a simple arcade game, where you have blue and red balls placed in red and blue sections respectively and you have to make sure they pass through the narrow gap separating the two sections by moving the gap around. The less time you take to move all the balls to the right section, the more points you get for that level. It sounds quite simple but around the second level itself you will recognize it is anything but simple. As a bonus, the game looks great, too.

Rayman Adventures
There is not much to say here that isn’t already covered in our full review. Quibbles with the controls aside, this is still a fun game and worth playing, especially since it doesn’t cost anything. The iOS version looks and runs better and is the one to play if you own devices on both platforms.

Here are this week’s most looked-at phones. Samsung’s Galaxy J lineup continues to soak in massive amounts of consumer interest. Samsung unveiled the new Galaxy A lineup for 2016 this week, but it will probably be months before they can challenge the Js. The limited launch won’t help either.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is the only injection of fresh blood among the entrenched phones that draw in the most attention. It did decline in the ranks though, last week it held the #1 position. The Redmi Note 2, its predecessor, is still in the chart here too, currently in 9th.
Speaking of predecessors, the Samsung Galaxy A5 (the old one) also made the Top 10, though it doesn’t enjoy as much popularity as its alphabet cousin, the J5. The A8 is much further down the ranks.
The Apple iPhone 6s rounds off the Top 10, with the 5s and 6 not far behind it. The Plus versions are nowhere to be seen though. Samsung’s efforts are more balanced, with both the small Galaxy S6 and big Galaxy Note5 making the ranks.

Nokia was No. 1 in the mobile world for a couple of decades, and it’s being sadly missed today by loyal fans of the brand. It’s then not a surprise that when alleged renders of a Nokia C1 surfaced this week, the Internet exploded.
The company’s reentry into the smartphone business can’t come before 2016, as dictated by the Microsoft acquisition agreement. But we’re nearly there, and the Nokia C1 might very well be the real thing.
Moving from future to present, Samsung announced the successors to three of its Galaxy A-series smartphones this week. The Galaxy A3 (2016), Galaxy A5 (2016), and Galaxy A7 (2016) come with updated glass and metal styling, upgraded specs and fingerprint readers in all but the smallest model. We’re now only left to see what the Galaxy A9 will have to offer.
Another piece of news with a tangible outcome, the Asus Zenfone Zoom with a 3x optical zoom lens is finally out. Well, not yet, but in a few weeks’ time. And not globally, but just in Taiwan. Oh, well.
In other news, the one-generation-away Snapdragon 830 may come with support for up to 8GB of RAM, Samsung’s Marshmallow build for the Galaxy S6 leaked in screenshots and Vivo announced the X6 and X6 Plus. Read these and more in the links below.

By popular demand we are now giving you the full battery life breakdowns of the anticipated Microsoft flagship duo – the Lumia 950 and the Lumia 950 XL. We already published the Lumia 950 review and we found it to be a great way to restart the Windows mobile series. And while the Lumia 950 XL review is still in the pipeline you are getting a sneak peek of what’s coming next week.
Both flagships utilize high-resolution Quad HD AMOLED panels – the Lumia 950 has it in 5.2″ size, while its XL sibling stretches it to 5.7″. The chipsets are quite different though – the regular 950 model has the Snapdragon 808 with a hexa-core processor, while the 950 XL runs on the Snapdragon 810 with an octa-core processor and liquid cooling.
Windows 10 Mobile turned out a real surprise, offering great new features and long awaited optimizations, plus universal apps across other devices. The PureView camera turned out one of the best in business. But what about the battery? The Lumia 950 is powered by a 3,000 mAh unit, while the XL has 10% more power supply at 3,340 mAh.
We expected the more powerful Snapdragon 810 chip married to a bigger screen to perform worse than the 808 platform but turns out we were quite wrong.
The Lumia 950 XL posted great and very respectable 17 hours endurance on the 3G talk time test, doubling the Lumia 950 score.

There’s little dispute among you – the Xperia Z5 Premium is yet another Sony entry on the hot side of our imaginary Hot or Not wall. Stopping by for our customary poll, Sony’s latest top-shelf device left naysayers outnumbered 3 to 1, continuing a positive trend with Sony devices of late.
A lot has been said on the 4K display conundrum, and we’ve also contributed with a dedicated display test, on top of the usual review. And regardless of where you stand on the matter, having the sole UltraHD screen in a smartphone on the market does score the Premium points for exclusivity – always a factor when it comes to a handset’s appeal.
It’s not just flair, there’s plenty to like under the Z5 Premium’s mirror surface, and the majority of you seem to have picked up on that. Top-end specs are a given at its market position and the all-new 23MP camera and Snapdragon 810 chip are sure to entice, troubled as the fastest Qualcomm SoC might be.
Sure, you weren’t particularly excited about the battery life, and pricing could have been easier on the wallet, but who’s without their…

It a good week in terms of new announcements with the Samsung’s group launch of the 2016 lineup of the Galaxy A series and the Huawei Enjoy 5s. The theme of the week proved to be “fingerprints.”
The Samsung Galaxy A7 (2016) is the flagship of next-gen lineup. It features a 5.5″ Super AMOLED screen with a 1080p resolution inside a fairly thin metal and glass chassis. The headlining new features are the fingerprint reader and full Samsung Pay support, plus the OIS-enabled camera with a wide f/1.9 aperture, just like the Galaxy S6 (but paired with a lower-resolution sensor).
The semi-premium lineup continues with the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016), which grows the screen size and pixel count to 5.2″ and 1080p. It features Samsung Pay and OIS camera like the A7, but targets consumers looking for a compact device. All three Galaxy As have LTE and optional DualSIM.
The Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016), the runt of the litter, has been left out of most major upgrades – no Pay and no OIS, not much of a chipset bump either. The screen got a much need upgrade to 4.7″ 720p and the camera also went up to 13MP.
The Samsung Galaxy A 2016 lineup will debut in China later this month and expand its availability.
Then there’s the Huawei Enjoy 5s. It upgrades the Enjoy 5 from October with an octa-core processor and a fingerprint reader. It’s going on sale in China in a week’s time at CNY 1,200 ($187), you need a CNY 100 deposit to save a spot in line.

Rayman Adventures is the third Rayman game on the mobile platform in recent times after Rayman Jungle Run and Rayman Fiesta Run. With this game, Ubisoft has made slight changes to the core gameplay, which was unchanged between the first two games, to give the player more control. There are also some new gameplay elements, such as the Incrediballs, which are collectible companions that also assist you in gameplay.
The first two Rayman games were more of an on-rails experience, where you had no control over the movement of the character who moved automatically and all you could do is jump or attack. With Adventures, Ubisoft has given some control back to the player and now you can change direction and go back if you missed something. This is still not the fully manual movement that we see in the console version of Rayman games but it’s better than nothing.
The control scheme has also changed. In the previous games, one side of the screen could be tapped to jump and the other for attack. In this game, you change direction by swiping in the opposite direction you are going in. You can tap once to jump and you can swipe in the direction you are going to attack.
The game also introduces the Incrediballs. These are tiny creatures that you collect as you play and unlock more levels. There are multiple types of Incrediballs, and within each there are three types of varying power.
In the first game you were pretty much entirely on your own. In Fiesta Run, you could use special abilities that helped you in the game. The Incrediballs are kinda like that. Each has a different ability. The green ones can find hidden treasure (up to three in a level) in the level and point you towards it so you don’t miss them. The green ones attract lums around you like a magnet. The red ones will protect you against one attack and then temporarily make you invincible.
Before the game starts, you can use one or more of these to help you. You can use multiple ones of different type for different needs or multiple ones of the same type. For example, having more than one of the blue Incrediballs will attract lums more strongly.
The Incrediballs serve as a nice addition to the gameplay. They are not compulsory and you can finish any level without them, however, some levels are made a lot easier if you have a certain type of Incrediball with you and some levels absolutely need one if you want to perfect the level by completing all objectives. The game highlights at the beginning which ones you will be needing for that particular level.
Of course you can’t just use as many as you want. Only a few are available to you and if you want more you will have to feed them, and as you can guess, the food itself is also limited. This would be a good time to talk about the in-app purchases. Unlike the first two games, Rayman Adventures is free with IAP. You can spend real money in game to purchase items such as food, gems (used for purchasing in-game items), potions, etc. Admittedly, not once did I feel like the game was pressurizing me to spend money and you can play the entire game without spending a cent on it, without being punished in any way. There is no advertising normally, but if you want you could optionally watch a video to earn free gems. I’d have still preferred a fully paid game with no IAP, but as far as having IAP goes, Ubisoft has done a good job here.
But is the actual game fun? Well, yes and no. Yes because this is a classic Rayman game, which means the same frantic combat and platforming sections, the same amazing character animations and the same great level designs. Unfortunately, the major issue here are the controls. Having swipe and tap gestures for attack, change direction, and jumping is utterly confusing. Even if you do get over the learning curve, the game itself confuses your inputs several times, jumping when you wanted to attack and vice versa. It cannot be stressed enough just how frustrating this is when it happens. Rayman games often have amazing flow to the action, with everything placed where it should be for a quick and clean gameplay. Constantly confusing between the controls breaks the flow and makes you want to throw out your phone or tablet several times. This was not at all an issue with the previous games, both of which played beautifully. The addition of…

BlackBerry has scheduled an event to report its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal 2015. Beginning at 8am ET on December 18, the announcement will take place in a conference call and a webcast. In case you miss the live broadcast, there will be a replay available for another two weeks until January 3.
Market analysts and investors alike will be intrigued to find out what effect the launch of the BlackBerry Priv will have on the numbers. Rumors have claimed that the struggling Canadian company might be pulling out of the device market, depending on the success or failure of the high-end slider. Early as it may be for conclusions, this third quarter result may shed some light on what’s to…

OnePlus caused quite the buzz a few days ago, when it announced the Sandstone case for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. Wait, what? A smartphone maker is releasing a case for a smartphone made by another smartphone maker? The internet was bewildered.
It’s fair to say then that the marketing stunt did what it was supposed to. People were talking and OnePlus was in the news thanks to a piece of plastic. We got one too and figured we’d share a few impressions.
OnePlus Sandstone Case for the iPhone 6s – press images
First up – presentation. The case comes in a box, made to a standard well worthy of holding a phone, not the tacky plastic or thin cardboard packages in which most other cases arrive at your doorstep. The pullout tab in the signature OnePlus red color is a nice touch, both functionally and in terms of design.
Inside there’s a plastic scratch card that in our case held an invite for an Onyx OnePlus X, but others may be for the Ceramic version. The luckiest of buyers might be getting a free smartphone, OnePlus announced.
