Uber introduces Family Profiles, friends and family can ride on someone else’s bill

Uber has grown exponentially over the past few years, so you can imagine that it’s gained many loyal users by now. One of the features most requested by these users is the ability to easily pay for someone else’s ride or the ability to use one payment method on more than one account.

Uber has introduced Family profiles, users can add up to 10 close friends or family members to their “families” and they can share a payment method amongst themselves. Once you’ve downloaded the newest version of the app, users can invite others to become part of their Family Profile.

It looks like User A’s invitation to add User B to User A’s profile will let User B ride and then send the tab to User A. In order to accept the invitation, the user must open their email and accept the invitation via a link.

User B would be able to choose “Family Profile” as his or her payment method for that ride.

The feature is now live in Phoenix, Dallas, and Atlanta.

Samsung Gear S2 by de Grisogono is blinged up with diamonds, rose gold

Samsung certainly loves to put out blinged up versions of its various gadgets from time to time, and the latest device to get this treatment is its newest smartwatch. The Samsung Gear S2 by de Grisogono is a limited edition version of the wearable, which comes with more than 100 white and black diamonds, rose gold, and a black galuchat bracelet.

The diamond-set rose gold bezel still rotates in order to function as a navigation aid in the smartwatch's menus, just like the non-diamond-set one does in the vanilla Gear S2.

Pricing hasn't been announced because this is one of those if you have to ask, you clearly can't afford it situations. The Gear S2 by de Grisogono will become available this summer and will be sold through Samsung's retail outlets as well as de Grisogono's.

As you may have expected, nothing about the internal hardware of the watch has changed. It comes with the same specs as the normal, no-bling version. It has the same 1.2-inch 360x360 Super AMOLED touchscreen, Exynos 3250 Dual chipset with a 1 GHz dual-core Cortex-A7 CPU, 512 MB of RAM, 4GB of storage, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, heart rate monitor, and 250 mAh battery. It runs the Tizen wearable platform.

Report says Galaxy S7/S7 edge pre-orders in China set to cross 10 million mark

Just a week after Samsung's mobile chief Koh Dong-jin said that they are expecting their newest flagships - the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge - will help reverse the firm's fortunes in China, there is some good news for the South Korean tech giant.

According to a new report, pre-orders for the flagships in China are set to cross the the 10 million milestone, and the figure could even hit the 15 million mark by the time the pre-order window closes, something which will happen on March 18.

Keep in mind, however, that pre-orders in China are usually unlike pre-orders elsewhere - it's more of a 'register your interest,' which means that actual sales numbers can be quite different. We'll have to wait for Samsung to confirm these numbers if this is actually the case.

In case you missed it, China - which is the world's largest smartphone market - is one of the few countries where the new Galaxy phones do not have the front Samsung logo, although it's difficult to say whether this has anything to do with the devices' performance in the country.

The report comes just a few days after Samsung revealed that the total number of Galaxy S7/S7 edge pre-orders it received in Europe was over 2.5 times more than what it received for previous Galaxy phones in the region.

Samsung outs Buy One, Get One free deal for its fast charge wireless charging pad

From this point on and up until March 19, there's a nice deal to be had if you're interested in purchasing a Samsung wireless charger with fast charging capabilities. If you're in the US and opt to buy from Samsung's own online store, then you're in for a treat.

Basically you'll pay for one charger but will actually be receiving two. Yes, it's another of those BOGO (Buy One, Get One free) deals. The wireless charging pad costs $69.99, and shipping is free. It's available in white and black.

And if you'll be using it with the Galaxy S6 edge+ or the Note5, it will fast charge those devices, meaning they'll go from 0 to 100% battery 50 minutes faster than what you'd get from a normal wireless charging pad. That said, the pad is Qi compatible, so it will work just fine with other devices that comply with the Qi standard. It's just not going to be faster than any other Qi wireless charging pad in this case.

Leaked photo shows redesigned antenna lines on the iPhone 7

It' still early for the iPhone 7, but alleged photos from the production line have already made their way on the web. The major change on the back (well, according to rumors) is the dual camera, but it seems Apple has redesigned the antenna too.

A close-up of the bottom shows the plastic lines, which weren't our favorite design element on the iPhone 6 generation, have been retraced. The new lines stick closer to the top and bottom edge, leaving the metal back mostly undisturbed. The lines seem slimmer too, another bonus.

Leaked photos: Antenna lines • The whole back

These lines are vital to prevent death grip (the loss of signal if your hand bridges any of the antennas) and companies have been looking for ways to hide them. LG recently found a way to make them invisible (but they can still be felt in the hand).

First official Huawei P9 teaser confirms dual camera setup

There have already been rumors about Huawei P9 featuring a dual rear camera setup, and now the arrangement has been officially confirmed thanks to the first official teaser of the device which has recently been outed by the company.

As for other specs, latest rumors say the handset is powered by a Kirin 950 chipset and sports a 5.2" 1080p screen. RAM is 3GB and internal storage is 32GB. Camera department is handled by a 5MP front shooter and a 12MP dual rear camera setup with support for OIS.

The device is going to be just 6.4mm thick, pack in a 3,000mAh battery, and run Android 6.0 Marshmallow with EMUI. Said to carry a $500 price tag, the P9 is expected to be made officialon April 6, along with some of its variants including the P9 Max and P9 Lite.

Lenovo phablet powered by Windows 10 leaks

If you recall, Lenovo was supposed to launch Windows 10 phones somewhere around mid last year. That, as we know, didn't happen, but the Chinese company hasn't given up the development of such devices. The proof came in the form of a Windows-powered Lenovo handset that just leaked.

Spotted at a Microsoft event in China today, the handset is clearly a phablet sporting a metal frame with rounded corners. The Lenovo branding is on the top-left and a button with Windows logo is at the bottom-center.

Sadly, nothing else - including the specs as well as pricing and availability - is currently known at this point.

Huawei P9, P9 Max and P9 Lite specs and price revealed

Well, this spoils the mystery - Oppomart published the details of the Huawei P9 and its friends, the P9 Max and P9 Lite.

Huawei P9

The Huawei P9 is the mid-sized option with a 5.2" 1080p screen. It features special display RAM, which allows static content on the screen to be rendered while using very little power.

The metal-clad phone features a 12MP dual camera setup on its back, which has Optical Image Stabilization, which is a first (previous dual-cam efforts lacked OIS). The camera also has Laser focus, selfies are handled by a 5MP shooter.

The P9 is powered by a Kirin 950 chipset with 3GB of RAM (LPDDR4 1866MHz) and has 32GB of built-in storage. It will launch with Android 6.0 Marshmallow with EMUI.

The phone is quite thin - just 6.4mm - but packs a big battery, 3,000mAh (for comparison, the Galaxy S7 is 7.9mm thick). You also get dual-SIM and global LTE connectivity.

The Huawei P9 is priced at $500, but keep in mind this may not be the final price.

Huawei P9 Max

The Huawei P9 Max earns its name with a massive 6.2" screen and resolution goes up to QHD (1,440 x 2,560px).

The processing power has been enhanced too, with a Kirin 955 chipset and 4GB of RAM, storage doubled to 64GB. The software is the same, Android 6.0 + EMUI.

Other than that you get the same 12MP duo camera with OIS and Laser focus, but a better 8MP selfie camera. Unfortunately, the battery remains at 3,000mAh capacity, despite the general growth in size. It's the same thickness too, 6.4mm.

The Huawei P9 Max is set as a flagship at $700.

Huawei P9 Lite

Not a mini, the Huawei P9 Lite has a 5" 1080p screen and you get to keep the 12MP duo camera with OIS, plus 5MP selfie cam.

The "Lite" name comes from the processing - a Snapdragon 650 chipset is paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB storage.

The rest is pretty similar with dual-SIM and LTE, except for the battery, which is now a 2,500mAh Li-Po unit.

The P9 Lite is the cheapest of the three by some measure, it's priced at $300.

iPhone 5se to have 4K video recording, 12MP camera

Apple will hold an event in a few days (March 21), to announce the new iPhone 5se and likely an iPad Pro. Rumor has it that before that or maybe during the event itself, the company will demo a 4K video shot on the 5se itself. Apple employees are allegedly on location in New York shooting the footage.

The promo video itself is not so much of interest as is the 4K capability of the iPhone 5se camera. So far we've heard that it will use the Apple A9 chipset (same as the iPhone 6s), but will lack features like 3D touch.

So there were questions about just how many features Apple will drop from the 6s. Early rumors suggested an 8MP camera, but now it's looking like the 5se will sport the same 12MP/4K camera with Live photos as the 6s.

There are a few more days until the iPhone returns its 4" homeland. Until then you can have a sneak peek at this leaked photo.
