Unannounced Huawei P9 Lite debuts in a hands-on preview

Huawei’s major P9-series event is under way and in addition to the P9 and P9 Plus, the company is apparently preparing to unveil the P9 Lite. The guys over at Hi-Tech Mail.ru have spent some quality time with Huawei’s latest mid-ranger and spilled the phone’s main specifications.

Just like the regular P9, the Huawei P9 Lite packs a 5.2″ display of 1080p resolution resulting in a pixel density of 423ppi. Understandably, the dual Leica camera setup is missing on the P9 Lite and instead the phone packs a conventional 13MP main camera with a single LED flash. At the front, the phone…

Huawei P9 and P9 Plus announced – dual 12MP cameras by Leica, Kirin 955 SoC

After a buildup lasting several months, with leaks and rumors coming in almost daily, the Huawei P9 is now finally official, announced at a dedicated event in London. And alongside the P9 we’re also being treated to a P9 Plus, instead of the previously rumored P9 Max.

Huawei P9

The Huawei P9 is the regular-sized flagship, though we’re inclined to call it the small-sized one – it has pretty much the same footprint as an iPhone 6s. Display diagonal is 5.2 inches, resolution is 1080p, and it’s an IPS LCD panel.

It’s the in-house Kirin 955 chipset powering things, a modified…

PS4 Remote Play App is available now for Windows & OS X

The PlayStation 4 v3.50 update is out and with it, Sony also launched Remote Play for Windows and OS X. The new feature allows you to stream your PS4 games on your desktop PC for when the TV just can’t be accessed.

Meizu held an unveiling event today in Beijing andfinally made the eagerly-anticipated m3 note official.

Huawei P9 leaks one last time, black version shows up

Mere hours before announcement, the Huawei P9 showed up one last time unofficially, in black on this occasion.

Unlike early leaks, this new image now features the Leica branding on the dual camera on the back of the device. The collaboration between the two companies was announced a couple of months ago and last week it was confirmed that the P9 will already reap the benefits.

The shape of the fingerprint sensor has also been finalized to a rectangle with rounded corners. The circular design we saw earlier may have been an abandoned prototype, or might be used on the P9 Max….

Vivaldi browser now out of beta

We first heard of Vivaldi back when it was released in beta form early last year. The browser is now finally out of beta, and available for Windows, OS X, and Linux.

Vivaldi is a browser by Vivaldi Technologies, an Oslo-based company founded by the former co-founder and CEO of Opera Software, Jon von Tetzchner. Vivaldi tries to build on what made Opera so popular with some people in the first place, a ton of features and customizability, before Opera decided to strip it away of everything and become overly simplistic.

Vivaldi includes features such as tab stacking, where you can…

Deal: Buy one iPhone, get the second one 50% off at T-Mobile

T-Mobile struggled so much before the iPhone was finally available for the un-carrier. These days, when it comes to aggressive promotions, the other carriers are always second or third to follow after T-Mobile.

Just in time for the iPhone SE, T-Mobile is offering a 50% discount for any second iPhone to customers who purchase any iPhone on an Equipment Installment Plan (Not leased devices). T-Mobile will send you a rebate in the form of a pre-paid VISA card for half the cost of any second iPhone, even if the second iPhone is more expensive than the first one.

Deal: $600 for black or gold Factory Unlocked Galaxy S7 at Newegg

There is definitely something special about the Galaxy S7. It isn’t often that a phone is sold for discounts and promotions not even a month after its original release. Let’s not forget the buy-one-get-one free promotion that all major US Carriers have been participating in.

But this is a different promotion, the international factory unlocked version (SM-G930F) of the Galaxy S7 can be purchased directly from Newegg for only $600. This is a phone whose retail price is well above Apple’s introductory flagship price of $650 (for 16 measly GB) and a phone of which has only been released last…

PSA: Siri-lock screen flaw leaves your contacts and photos vulnerable (iOS 9.3.1)

Siri isn’t exactly the most loved feature of the iPhone among many users. She/he sometimes doesn’t hear you correctly, and often infuriates users who try to use Siri and end up disabling it altogether.

Now here is where 3D Touch comes in. It wasn’t included in the iPhone SE, so we still don’t know if it’s because Apple intends to phase it out in the future, or if the iPhone SE was meant to be an inferior model to the 6S and 6S+

3D touch enables a serious flaw present in iOS 9.3.1 on the iPhones 6S and 6S+ that lets anybody who can get their hands on your iPhone to access your contacts…
