Google has pushed a small update for the Google Keep app on iOS, that adds a couple of useful features.

The app now has a Notification Center widget, which lets you quickly create notes from the notifications itself without first opening the app, and even access recently created notes.

The app also has support for share sheet, which means you can now mark text in Safari, for example, and then send it to Keep using the iOS share feature, and the text will be added to a new note in the app.

Lastly, the app also lets you copy notes to Google Docs. Just open a note and select the Google Drive option from the drop down…

Less than a month after HTC launched the highly anticipated One A9 smartphone, a new handset from the company has been leaked online. Dubbed One X9, the rumored device reportedly carries a model number of E56 and will cost RMB 2,999 (around $470).

Specs-wise, from what the leak suggests, the smartphone will be either powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 820 SoC or Mediatek’s deca-core Helio X20 chipset, and sport a QHD display, although size isn’t known yet.

The handset will have 4GB RAM and 64GB/128GB internal memory options, although it could also be launched with 3GB/32GB configuration to bring down the price. In terms of camera, the One X9 will sport a 23MP rear unit and a 4MP front shooter. Featuring a metal body and including dual HTC BoomSound speakers on the front, the device will pack in a 3,500mAh battery.

Needless to say, none of this has been officially confirmed by the Taiwanese company, so take all of this with a healthy dose of…

Samsung Galaxy View, the company’s odd 18.4-inch device to bridge the gap between your regular-sized tablet and your TV, is now available for purchase in the US. It can be ordered from several outlets, including Samsung’s own official website, though some differences in shipping dates are observed.

If you buy it from the manufacturer, it’ll take 3 to 5 days to get sent out, Amazon will have it in stock on November 14, while B&H is still quiet on availability.

BestBuy is apparently the way to go, if you want to be among the first to grab the kitchen tablet – it can have one out of its warehouse tomorrow, not to mention it has it in stores. It’s a whole different matter who at BestBuy decided the Galaxy View runs on Windows 10, so as to slap a screenshot of Microsoft’s OS on top of it.

Whichever way you choose of procuring the tablet, it’ll cost you $600 minus a cent. For that, you’d be getting a FullHD 18.4-inch LCD display, Exynos 7580 chipset, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. And a kickstand with a handle.

HTC was supposed to begin One A9 shipments in the first week of this month. However, a quick look at the device’s official online listing reveals that some color variants will be delayed.

As you can see in the screenshot above, HTC says that T-Mobile & ATT orders for Gray & Silver unlocked variants will ship on November 10, while Sprint orders for the models will begin shipping later in the month.

Similarly, Gold unlocked One A9 for T-Mobile and AT&T will start shipping in late November, but the Sprint model will arrive only in mid-December. And finally, Red unlocked model for T-Mobile and ATT will begin shipping early December, while Sprint orders for the variant will ship in mid-December.

Apparently, HTC is compensating users for the delay – according to a tip we received, the Taiwanese company sent out emails announcing the delay in shipments, and saying that they are making up for it by offering “25% off of accessories to protect and personalize your new phone.” However, we aren’t sure whether it’s an isolated case or not.

If you’re planning to purchase the handset now, keep in mind that its price has been revised starting today – available for $499 now, up from its promotional price of $399.

Capturing your action-packed life with a GoPro strapped to your head is neither the most comfortable experience, nor is it exactly high fashion. Well, aiming to address two two issues (and sort of succeeding with the first), a company called 3RDiTEK has come up with the 3RDi camera.

The device is a headband with a built-in camera module on the front. It pairs via Bluetooth with a smartphone, where it offloads its footage, and is operated with touch controls on the frame – tap for a still image, slide to start a video recording.

Video is where the 3RDi (get it, “third eye”?) is aimed, as it’s resolution is only 1080p, so at this point you can forget about high-res photos. The early prototypes are still rather basic, but future 3RDi’s will have a microSD port, a flash and a mic, and more stylish design, company founder says.

3RDiTEK is funding its idea on Indiegogo, with early backers getting the thing at a bargain $194 price, compared to its eventual $400 retail price tag. Don’t get too excited though, as the 3RDi won’t start shipping until Q4 2016, a full year from now.

Back in September this year, LG launched its first metal-clad smartphone Class in its home country of South Korea. The device has now landed in Europe, although with a different name: LG Zero.

The handset is, however, currently only available in Italy, where it is being offered in gold and silver color options, and carries a price tag of €299 (around $320). This compares to the KRW 399,300 (around $345) price tag the mid-ranger carries in South Korea.

As for its availability in the US, while there has been no official confirmation from LG, the usually reliable leakster @evleaks had revealed in September-end that the smartphone will be available on AT&T, although there was no word on when and at what cost.

Xiaomi’s long-awaited and oft-leaked update to the popular Mi Band has been officially revealed. The new Mi Band 1S adds an important feature, missing in the predecessor, and that’s a heart-rate monitor.

Making for a more complete activity tracker, the optical heart-rate sensor adds to the already available step counter and sleep monitor. Existing features like vibrating/LED notifications have been retained, naturally. The Mi Band 1S will also still be able to unlock your phone when within range, while others will be prompted for a password.

Measuring a slightly different 37 x 13.6 x 9.9mm, the Mi Band 1S may not fit in the existing bracelets, if you’ve piled up different colors from the old version (36 x 14 x 9mm). The new model also weighs a half a gram more than the 5.0 of the Mi Band. An IP67 rating for dust and water protection has been kept too.

Xiaomi Mi Band 1S

The same 45mAh battery is inside the 1S, and while the previous model carried a 30-day endurance promise, we imagine the heart-rate sensor will take a significant toll on it, if used often enough.

The Mi Band 1S will be available in China starting November 11 for a price of CNY99, or just short of $16. The two models will be sold simultaneously, the original Mi Band priced at CNY 69 ($11).
