Some modders at ComputerBild decided that the iPhone SE was stuck in a body much too old to be sold as a new phone. We don’t blame them, the iPhone 5 was introduced in fall of 2012 so it’s about 3 and a half years old.

These modders decided to buy an aftermarket housing for an iPhone 5(S) from AliExpress that you can use to effectively replace the iPhone SE’s outdated exterior. The new housing they chose features the iPhone 6(S)’s curvier appearance and it’s even outfitted with fake antenna lines.

Though, in order to perform this modification, you will have to say “goodbye” to…

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge stars in our latest video review, and in more than one ways. We shot the entire video of the Galaxy S7 Edge on a Galaxy S7 Edge to show you the depth of field from the insanely wide f/1.7 aperture.

But there’s more to a good video than simply quality – the Galaxy S7’s Pro mode came in quite handy. With it we were able to pinpoint manual focus, shutter speed and ISO and even fine tune the white balance depending on the light in the scene.

As for the more detailed, written review – here you go.

Facebook is going all-in with live video broadcasts. The social network has announced that it’s expanding its live video feature, just a few months after it was made available to everyone. The new stuff will be seen in the Facebook apps for Android and iOS “over the coming weeks”, as the rollout completes.

First off, you’ll see a new tab in the app, in between the one for friend requests and the one housing notifications. This new video tab will let you discover live videos that others are broadcasting. What you’ll see here are (obviously) videos from your friends and celebrities you…

Even though its next flagship smartphone has basically been leaked dozens of times already, HTC is continuing its teaser campaign for the handset. Soon the number of teasers put out for the HTC 10 will equal the number of leaks and rumors we’ve seen about it, at this rate.

Anyway, the newest HTC 10 teaser is a video once again, and this time around the main focus is the upcoming phone’s camera. Is it a coincidence that HTC chose to release this teaser today of all days, mere hours after Huawei took the wraps off its camera-centric flagship duo for 2016? It’s impossible to say, but the…

LG’s new flagship offer is anything, but traditional. regardless of how you view the rather unorthodox design approach of the Korean OEM, it appears to have at least one clear advantage over many of its direct competitors – repairability.

According to the good folks over at iFixit, the LG G5 is a breeze to open up and repair, especially compared to most glued and tightly-sealed unibody handsets of late. It is arguably irrelevant whether the phones “modular” design contributes directly to the pleasant repair experience or simply facilitates the continuation of an old LG valued…

At the Huawei P9 and P9 Plus premiere today, the company also revealed the TalkBand B3 band. Just like on its predecessor, the band is passive and is a holder for the Bluetooth earpiece, which sits on top of it. The earpiece itself is where the major updates are too.

The sound volume is up by 25% compared to the B2 and the wind noise cancellation is bumped by 80%. Finally, the glass covering the earpiece is 3D-curved Corning Gorilla Glass (Huawei doesn’t specify which…
