A few days ago China sent a survey team to study Mt. Everest, today they reached the Advanced Base Camp at 6,500m (21,300ft).

One of these was the Honor X10 5G, which hasn't been officially announced yet (so these are the first official camera samples from the phone).

Posted: 08 May 2020 04:22 AM PDT

CEO Madhav Sheth officially confirmed that the Realme X3 SuperZoom is coming - and that it will have a 60x zoom camera.

Android 10 rolling out to Xperia 10 and 10 Plus

Posted: 08 May 2020 01:18 AM PDT

Sony's Xperia 10 and 10 Plus were the midrange counterparts to last year's flagship Xperia 1.

For the time being, the rollout is limited to select regions and carriers. It bears the 53.1.A.2.2 build number and also adds the March security...

Discover app by Facebook finds free data from carriers in Peru

Posted: 07 May 2020 04:09 PM PDT

Facebook has a new app called Discover, and its part of a new "Free Basics Initiative" that offers wireless subscribers a free, but limited, amount of data per day.

Although data and plans are relatively cheap, there are many rural areas of Peru where income is more...

Well, the wait is finally almost over for the Mi Note 10, as today the Chinese company has started...
