The Google Pixel 3a XL is a delightfully capable device. The low-cost wonder carries forward the basic principles of Google’s no-muss, no-fuss Pixel line — and that includes the powerful camera.
Since Google debuted the original Pixel in 2016, the series has been known for its photography prowess.

Honor has announced the V40. It’s the first smartphone from the company as an independent firm. The launch is limited to China at present, but Honor does not rule out the possibility of global availability. Honor is now no longer under Huawei‘s wing, and while that comes with its freedom from US-related pressures, it’s also a daunting prospect to not have support from a major smartphone maker. Nevertheless, the first device from its new era is now here.
The introduction of the smartphone will certainly be looked back upon as perhaps the biggest shift in the way that we all use technology, and not just due to the fact that we’re all walking around with access to the entire web in our pockets. Photography has been an equally key part of the smartphone’s success, resulting in today’s hugely popular selfie, Instagram, and other related phenomena.

Twitter user @leftoblique posted the above photo of a Halloween Google graveyard that decorates an office at the Google Seattle campus. Each tombstone is emblazoned with a former Google service, including Google Reader, Google Buzz, Picasa, and even Google Plus, which only died off this year.

LG steps up its mobile game with the new innovative multitasking function ‘QSlide’, featured on the Optimus G, quite possibly the company’s most ambitious device on the market to date.
Similar features can be found on other devices such as Samsung’s Galaxy S III, and the new Note II. However, LG’s take on multitasking allows users to simultaneously run two applications, whilst exploiting the entire 4.7-inch display by having both applications become translucent upon QSlide activation.
