Instagram proudly announces it's got 700 million users

You may think that copying interesting or successful (or both) ideas from your competitors won't pan out in the end, but Instagram is a living example to the contrary. The Facebook-owned photo-focused social network has aped every Snapchat feature it was able to in the past year or so, and it's paid off. Bigtime. Instagram now has 700 million users, 100 million more than it did last December. So those last 100 million users were added in just four months. That number is amazingly almost equivalent to Snapchat's entire 161 million user base. The recent growth is the fastest in Instagram's...

Gionee S10 stops by GFXBench to remind us that it's launching soon

The Gionee S10 was certified for sale in China by TENAA last week, and today someone in possession of a prototype thought it was a good idea to have it run GFXBench. Thus, as always, the benchmark has stored quite a few details about the phone's specs in its database. Let's just get one thing out of the way first. For whatever reason, GFXBench seems convinced that the S10 has a 12 MP rear camera, but that's not true - the TENAA listing details a 13 MP + 13 MP dual camera arrangement. The rest of the specs are aligned, however. The S10 will have a 5.5-inch 1080p touchscreen, 4GB of...

Moto E4 and E4 Plus full specs leak along with pricing info

For a while now, we've seen various leaks and rumors regarding the Moto E4 and E4 Plus, the two smartphones that will serve as successors for the Moto E3 from last year. As before, these will be slightly lower-end than the models in the G-series. And it also looks like Motorola is settling for two handsets per line per year. Today the full specs for both the E4 and E4 Plus have surfaced, along with pricing information. So if we pair all of this to the recently leaked image you can see below (blurry as it may be), we pretty much have the full details about the duo. The Moto E4 has a...

Amazon's new Echo Look sees you, judges your outfits

Amazon has unveiled a new Alexa-powered device today, and you may want to check the date - as a matter of fact it isn't April Fools. Though you'd be hard pressed to tell that just from the product Amazon has introduced: a depth-sensing hands-free camera (with LED lighting) that judges your outfits for you. No, really. It's basically an Echo smart speaker with an added camera, that senses depth and uses computer vision for background blur. You can use the camera to snap "full length" photos of yourself (obviously), to look at later for example. You can also ask Alexa to record a short...
