When you want to send or receive payments online, some of the available services include PayPal, Venmo, Square Cash, Chase QuickPay, etc. And Facebook also rolled out a payment service through its Messenger application last year. Now a recently published patent called “User Interface For Payments” has revealed that Apple may be potentially integrating a money transfer service into its iMessage messaging platform.

The Microsoft Lumia 650 has been popping up here and there over the past month, and its existence nearly got official confirmation from a company senior exec. Now a new live photo has appeared, confirming the design in previous renders, and the source also has intel on the specs.
The lone image depicts the phone at an angle and other than establishing that the it exists, it also proves that the outer frame is indeed made of metal. And while all this is fine and dandy, the hardware inside is not particularly inspiring.
The chipset was so far rumored to be the Snapdragon 212, but the source now states that it will be the 210. There’s no principal difference between the two, the 212 just has a higher CPU clock rate at 1.3GHz vs. 1.1GHz for the 210. The 5-inch 720p display has been confirmed, as is the single gig of RAM.
The real bummer revealed today is that the Lumia 650 will allegedly pack a 2,000mAh battery, small all by itself, but also smaller than the Lumia 640’s (2,500mAh) and the most recent Lumia 550 (2,100mAh).
So to sum it all up, the 650 will have less battery capacity and an inferior chipset, compared to its predecessor. You must really like the metal frame to consider it an upgrade.

Xiaomi empieza el año fuerte y con las ideas bien claras. Si nada más empezar el año anterior estaban de celebración debido a su quinto aniversario, demostrando que, aunque son una empresa pequeña en cuanto a experiencia, es una gran fabricante de dispositivos móviles y prueba de ello es ver como compite cada día contra Huawei y Apple, por ser el fabricante que más teléfonos móviles vende en China.
El año 2015 no fue un mal año para Xiaomi, el fabricante se ha consolidado como un fabricante fuerte y muy competidor contra otros terminales de su competencia. Este 2016, Xiaomi quiere empezar por todo lo alto y lo hará con la llegada del Xiaomi Mi5, pero sin embargo, hay un dispositivo que se lanzará antes del flamante buque insignia de la compañía y, ese será el Xiaomi Redmi 3.
La compañía china ha anunciado recientemente que la tercera generación de la familia Redmi, llegará el próximo 12 de Enero. Así lo ha hecho saber mediante una imagen que ha publicado el fabricante en su cuenta personal de la famosa red social china, Weibo.
Pocos rumores conocemos sobre el futuro dispositivo de gama media de Xiaomi, pero gracias a la imagen publicada, conocemos algún detalle más. Para empezar, el nuevo terminal chino, contará con una pantalla de 5 pulgadas, de la cuál no conocemos su resolución, pero seguramente sea de alta definición.
En el interior del dispositivo encontramos que el encargado de mover todo será un procesador de ocho núcleos a una velocidad de reloj de 1.5 GHz, aunque no conocemos el fabricante ya que, la información sacada en la web TENAA, no lo especifica. Junto a este SoC, le acompañarán 2 GB de memoria de RAM y 16 GB de almacenamiento interno, que podrán ser ampliables seguramente.
En su parte fotográfica, vemos como el dispositivo contará con una cámara principal de 13 Megapíxeles situada en la parte trasera del dispositivo y una cámara frontal de 5 MP. El cuerpo del dispositivo será metálico y contará con una parte trasera original bajo una cenefa de rombos. Aquí está por ver si esa parte trasera vendrá así de serie o si es una carcasa personalizada.
Por el momento poco más podemos explicar sobre el futuro Xiaomi Redmi 3. Tan sólo nos queda esperar al próximo 12 de Enero para descubrir más ( disponibilidad, precio, etc… ) sobre el primer dispositivo de Xiaomi que se lanzará durante este año 2016. Y vosotros, ¿ Qué pensáis de esta tercera generación de la gama Redmi de Xiaomi ?

The US got a sweet deal on the LG V10 last year, the flagship came with a free 200GB microSD card, an extra battery and a cradle to charge it. A few months later Europe is getting a similar deal – just the microSD though.
If you get an LG V10 from Amazon Germany before January 24, you can score the free 200GB card with the V10AKTION coupon code. The phone is currently 650, but the offer is good for a limited number of units and it’s only one per…

Science fiction is fond of talking about the point at which computers might become what we call ‘self-aware’. This is the precipice beyond which machines start to use their Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities to understand they do in fact exist as ‘things’ in and of themselves. The term you will hear used increasingly is Life Presence Detection (LPD), but the expression “Skynet has become self-aware” is still science fiction, for now at least.

Announced two days ago at CES, the new LG K7 will soon be available in the US from T-Mobile and MetroPCS. The launch date and price of the phone have not been shared yet, but the LG K7 will definitely be on the cheap side.
The LG K7 is the low-end K-series phone, equipped with a 5.0-inch FWVGA display, 1.1GHz quad-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and a 2,125mAh battery and LTE connectivity. That being said, the phone does sport a handful of “premium” design features which include 2.5D Arc Glass, curved edges, a woven pattern polycarbonate back panel and rear mounted power and volume buttons.
If you’re hoping for more a more exciting Android phone announcement from LG, you’ll likely have to wait until Mobile World Congress at the end of February.
