Tired of carrying your charging cable around with you all day? This new startup hailing from Canada might have an interesting solution to the very familiar problem of always running out of battery on your smartphone.
Say hello to the Uvolt Watch – which is more than just a timepiece you can wear on your wrist. The device is also a multifunctional power reserve for your phone, that harvests solar energy. The device is equipped with a solar panel that sits quietly on your wrist while you go about your business for the day and captures energy from the sun. The panel does so in order to charge multiple power reserves embedded in the product.
The main power reserve is a high-density lithium-ion battery that lives beneath the case and can charge devices wirelessly. It comes integrated with a lightning port for Apple devices and microUSB and USB Type-C ports for Android handsets. A wireless receiver for inductive charging via the included dock sits at the bottom of the power reserve.
Uvolt has developed a custom watch hinge which bundles additional batteries that allow users to continue charging even after the main power reserve has ran out of juice. On a sunny day, users can easily fully charge the power reserve, currently at 290 mAh. The transfer between the power reserve and your phone takes about 45 minutes.
The Uvolt Watch comes with a charging dock which can re-charge the watch in under 45 minutes. It’s compatible with most wireless chargers.
The Uvolt Watch comes into four minimalist styles including black, white, silver and rose gold. Bear in mind this is not a smartwatch, but a watch that simply displays the time and can also charge your phone.
The Uvolt is currently up on Kickstarter gathering funds, so if you’re interested you can make a pledge starting at $99 which will get you one watch plus a power reserve of your choice and a Uvolt wireless charger. The estimated delivery date is set for 2017.
And based on what we’re hearing the phone will come equipped with a very unique characteristic called the Edge Sense. The technology was leaked back in 2016 by a HTC designer in the form of a concept video. Edge Sense will basically allow HTC U owners to control apps with gestures performed on the device’s U metal frame (and not on the display). For example, turning music volume up and down by simply touching the phone’s frame.
We were aware of most of the information presented here, thanks to leaks and rumors, but now we have our confirmation.
The same leakster has also provided us with information about the two phones European pricing. US pricing will probably be announced during the Unpacked 2017 event.

With the new Facebook Stories, people can now share snapshots from throughout the day, glued together in a digital slideshow atop News Feed. Your friends can view you stories for up 24 hours, before they become digital dust. Don’t worry, these photos and videos won’t appear on your Timeline or in the News Feed unless you post them there.
To access the new feature, tap on the “Your Story” icon in Stories bar located at the top of News Feed. Currently, Facebook isn’t monetizing stories just yet, so you won’t be seeing ads squeezed between stories, although looking in the direction of 
In case you want to share your story with a specific friend(s) for a limited time, Facebook is now offering Direct the button. When users send a photo or video via Direct, friends will be able to view it once and reply with a message. Once the conversation ends, the image or video will be deleted.
On top of that, in social network is adding reactive and style effects in Facebook camera. These effects allow users to interact with dynamic object in photos and videos, while the style effects will add an artistic vibe to the composition.
Facebook has also partnered up with a number of major film makers to add new masks from Power Rangers, Alien: Covenant, Despicable Me 3, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, Wonder Woman and Smurfs: Lost Village.
Like previous rumors have indicated, it’s pretty obvious from the image that Rubin’s upcoming Essential smartphone will be a bezeless affair a la 
This theory is corroborated by the fact that not so long ago, a device named Essential FIH-PMI showed up in Geekbench revealing a 
To access this feat, just tap on Location icon in the Android app or select Location under the More icon. Once you do that, you’ll be able to see a map of your current location and by tapping the blue bar you’ll share it with your friend(s) for up to 60 minutes. You can tap on Stop Sharing at any given time.
With Live Location, users will also be able to see an estimate of how long it takes to get to your friend’s house or to the restaurant you’re having a rendezvous with your work mates.
But even if Messenger offer this live tracking option now, it doesn’t mean you can’t share a static point on the map as well. For example, if you want to let your friend know you are waiting for them at a particular location, you can tap the location pin or More icon then tap the red pin in the upper right hand corner. Next, you can either drag and drop the pin onto the map or just search for the place to share.
Facebook is rolling out the new feature globally for iOS and Android users alike, who will be able to share their location details with one or a group of friends at a time.
Google’s Duo video calling application was announced back at Google’s I/O 2016, as an alternative to Apple’s FaceTime, but also 
On the other hand, Duo seems to be quite popular with users in developing markets and it seems the new audio call has been a highly requested by fans of the application. But instead of merging the two platforms and marketing them with a consistent strategy in mind, Google keeps updating the apps individually. In early March, Allo received an update with added improved GIF and emoji support, but also easier access to Google Assistant – but it’s quite unlikely the new feats will transform the app into a hit overnight.
