Surprising no one, the Microsoft Lumia 950 gets another price cut in the UK. This time, it’s a pretty solid discount and the 5.2″ Windows flagship now costs £344 from Amazon UK.

In January it was £400, then down to £380 in February. The current price is the lowest yet, significantly discounted from the £420 that Microsoft’s official store is asking for it. Carphone Warehouse is still charging £400 for it.

Amazon also has an ok deal on the Lumia 950 XL – £450 (down from £470 offer from Microsoft).

Android Marshmallow is seeding to the Exynos-powered version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, with reports of the OTA arrival coming in from various parts of the world. So far, we’ve gotten tips from Poland, India and the US, and the screenshots below come from Turkey (though the device is running on a Polish ROM).

From what we gather, the firmware is in the whereabouts of 1.3GB (a little bit less than the Sprint Marshmallow build for the Note 4) and brings the OS version to 6.0.1. The users in the Turkish forum (source link below) report that the Screen off memo feature from the Note5…

We saw the Xess at CES back in January and it was called the Xess Slate, it seems like Alcatel dropped the Slate from the name and TCL, Alcatel’s parent company TCL, decided to put its own brand on it instead.

The Xess will launch in the US on April 22 for a price of $500. It is essentially a large tablet that is almost a touch PC. It acts as a control center for the home, in a way. The way it presents itself is more of a household appliance than a tablet for consuming media.

The Xess is powered by a 1.5 GHz Mediatek processor paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage,…

Now is about that time. Everyone is over with MWC. Samsung, LG, and HTC duke it out in the beginning of the year, then Motonovo- wait, what should we call it now? Let’s call it Moto for now. We are still far away from Moto’s usual launch timeframe of around late-Summer to early-Fall.

The picture of a leaked photo submitted to HelloMotoHK shows just enough of what we might want to know about such a device. This device was spotted on what looks to be either public transit, like a train, or even a coffee shop? Maybe? I don’t know, we are just speculating here.

The top corner of the…

I don’t know about you, but lately my Facebook feed has been nothing but re-shared memes, videos, and click-bait articles. Facebook has been so focused on selling its platform for companies and organizations to advertise on, that users feel overwhelmed with all the irrelevant content that appears on their feeds and don’t even find it worth sharing personal updates anymore.

According to a report from TheInformation, five and a half percent of overall posts declined from mid-2014 to mid-2015 while the amount of personal updates on Facebook has dropped 21 perfect in the same period. Since…

Redditors everywhere know that the only way to have a somewhat cohesive Reddit experience on a smartphone would be to compare the bunch of third-party apps available on the Play/App Store. These apps were always unofficial readers for Reddit and didn’t offer a predictable UI or functionality.

Ever since Reddit’s popularity was on the rise the past few years, many developers who were also fans of the site have taken it upon themselves to create their own Reddit client because other clients were not as good as they’d hoped. They also must have been tired of waiting for Reddit to release an…

The Apple Watch Hermes collection has already been available for many months now, both in stores and online. Yet what if you fancy one of those Hermes bands for the Apple Watch but don’t want to buy it attached to an Apple Watch? Well, the two companies have actually thought of that possibility.

And from April 19 onwards you’ll be able to purchase the Hermes bands separately, sans Apple Watch. The Single Tour versions of the bands will start at $340, while the Double Tour models will cost $490 (and are limited to the 38mm smartwatch). The 42mm Cuff design will set you back $690 and will…

Asus delivered a pair of updates for two of its handsets -the Zenfone Zoom, bearing the model number ZX551ML and the other for the Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601KL.

Sadly, the packages in question do not bring Android Marshmallow. They still add a bit of extra functionality and address some significant issues, especially in the case of the Zenfone Zoom. The software bears a version identifier of 2.26.40.72(MR3.2) and according to the official change notes cited below, most tweaks are within the phone’s modem and the camera. If we may also note, it is quite refreshing to see a properly kept…

Just one day after having announced the m3 note, Meizu’s management is now officially teasing the oft-leaked Pro 6. Well, perhaps not as much teasing as actually revealing it. That’s because the first official image showing the Meizu Pro 6 has surfaced today, and it basically confirms the design we’ve seen so far in all the leaks.

As you can see, we only get a look at the back of the handset, but there’s no reason for us to think the front will look any different than what was already portrayed through leaks. Standing out on the back is the arrangement of the laser autofocus and the LED…

The Sony SmartWatch 3 is now receiving the Marshmallow update, aka Android Wear 1.4. In about a week, all SW3 users should have gotten the new update, which pushes Google that much closer to updating all Android Wear smartwatches to the new version (isn’t it nice when OS updates are centralized like that?).

The 1.4 update brings support for calls using a loudspeaker (for those watches that have one), dictating messages for chat apps (Hangouts, WhatsApp, Viber, WeChat and a few more) and additional gesture support.

PS: The update will arrive over the air, but if you need it now, you…
