Facebook is developing a Messenger app for Apple’s Mac platform, according to a new report from TechCrunch. The report also includes a not-so-clear image of what it says is a Facebook employee using the app.

As per the report, the app shown in the image above carried the name Messenger in the menu bar, and had the Messenger logo as the icon in the app Dock. It also includes a navigation tab bar (see bottom left) similar to the tab bar options there in Messenger for iOS.

New year, same story – the Samsung Galaxy J7 was and remains on top of our weekly trending chart. And its trustworthy sidekick J5 is up there next to it, in what has become one of the longest-standing podium pairs.

The Galaxy J2, which would join them on occasion, is now down to 6th, and the 3rd spot has been claimed by the Lenovo K4 Note, announced this week. Down the chart is mostly Samsung, with the Galaxy A5 (the old one) re-entering the chart in 5th.

In 5th we find the Galaxy S6, which may have lost a bit of its luster and has long since surrendered its crown, but is nonetheless a regular on the chart. Another permanent fixture, the Galaxy Grand Prime is in 7th this week, followed by the Note5.

A breath of non-Samsung air comes from the Apple iPhone 5s, in 9th. Yes, not the current-gen iPhone 6s, but the two-year-old 5s, which gathered an inexplicable number of hits over the past few days. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, in 3rd spot last week, barely made the chart and placed 10th, merely a few hundred hits ahead of the Galaxy A9 (2016).

Announced some two months after the Onyx one, the OnePlus X Champagne arrived at our doorstep amidst the whole CES clamor. We did find some time for a brief hands-on experience, or more like eyes-on, as it’s essentially the same device as the black OnePlus X we already had for review.

As such it’s not to be confused with the OnePlus X Ceramic, even if your idea of the material is more in line with the Champagne’s color scheme than the black of the actual limited edition version.

OnePlus X Onyx Black next to OnePlus X Champagne

Anyway the OnePlus X Champagne replaces the black glass panels for white ones. On the back that means that fingerprints aren’t as visible as on the Onyx model, when they inevitably start accumulating. On the front the color scheme makes the capacitive buttons stick out a bit more – apparently gray on black doesn’t provide as much contrast as champagne on white.

OnePlus X Champagne

And champagne is what OnePlus calls the color of the frame, which has the same 17 micro-cut grooves as the plain steel-colored one of the Onyx. Some call it champagne, others call it rose gold, then there’s the occasional peach interpretation, but the bottom line is that the combination between the frame and panels really works and the phone looks stylish and expensive.

The OnePlus X Champagne is available for purchase right now, provided you have an invite. That is, unless it’s Tuesday, Tuesdays have historically been treated differently by OnePlus, and invites aren’t required. It goes for $249 in the US and €269 in Europe, because that’s how currency conversion…
