Upcoming ZTE nubia Z20 shoots total solar eclipse, here are the images

A rare total solar eclipse was observed on July 2 in Chile, and the unannounced ZTE nubia Z20 was there to capture it. Seriously, the phone that hasn't leaked at all yet has produced the camera samples you can see below, of the eclipse. Note that even at full size these are very small, you can thank Weibo's image system for that. The shots were shared on the Chinese social network by Dr. Deng Licai of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who was there for the eclipse in Chile with the Z20 on hand. He also tested the nubia Z18 before release last year, when he used that phone to shoot the Milky...

Google Photos will add manual face tagging, pet photo sharing, timestamp editing on Android

If you're wondering what to expect in terms of new features from Google Photos in the near future, then you'll like the fact that the service's product lead, David Lieb, has basically revealed exactly that through a string of tweets. He was interested in feedback from users, to be made aware of outstanding bugs, possible performance improvements, and feature requests. While replying to a lot of those, he outed what's coming. First off, manual face tagging. Right now you can't select photos to be added to a face if the app hasn't picked them beforehand, but this will change in the...

Meizu's first 5G smartphone arrives next year

If there's been one prevailing buzzword in the mobile industry this year so far, that's definitely 5G. It even managed to outshine AI, as far as buzzwords go. While a lot of smartphone makers have launched 5G devices already, some haven't - Apple, for example, isn't expected to come out with a 5G iPhone until 2020. It turns out the same is probably true for Meizu. The Chinese company indicated back in April that it is in fact working on a 5G handset, which will probably be called Meizu 17 and take some heavy inspiration from the Meizu Zero port-less concept phone that failed to make its...

LG G7 ThinQ gets Android 9 Pie update on US Cellular

LG has recently been busy updating past flagships to Android 9 Pie, but that busyness is only a consequence of how long it took the Korean company to finally get the ball rolling on these new software releases. Despite past promises, it still continues to be very slow. Case in point: LG is now rolling out a new Pie update, this time for the G7 ThinQ units sold by US Cellular. That's all well and good, but we're mere weeks away from Google's outing of Android 10 Q for its handsets. Anyway, let's go with "better late than never" in LG's situation, and see what we have here. The new...

Google Pixel 3 XL can be yours for just $539.95, $360 off its launch price

Google has launched the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL for the more price conscious customers, but its flagships are still to this day the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL released last year. And here's an interesting dilemma. If you had around $500 to spend on a new phone, and it has to be a Google phone, would you rather shell out $479 for a Pixel 3a XL, or maybe add a bit of cash on top of that and splurge for a Pixel 3 XL? That proposition isn't as far fetched as you may think, for right now you can purchase a brand new Pixel 3 XL for just $539.95 at Rakuten, if you use the promo code "SAVE15" at...
