Nintendo has dropped a new handheld console, the 2DS XL. The 2DS XL is big step up from the toast-shaped 2DS and is essentially the 3DS XL but without the 3D display. That's really all there is to be said about this. The 2DS XL includes the faster processor, C-stick and NFC reader for Amiibos from the 3DS XL but lacks the 3D display and has a more compact and lighter design. The 2DS XL will still be compatible with all the 3DS games, just that you can't play them in 3D.

Miami-based smartphone manufacturer BLU has launched a new smartphone. Dubbed R1 Plus, the device is powered by MediaTek MT6737 SoC, and sports a 5.5-inch HD display. RAM options include 2GB and 3GB, while storage options include 16GB and 32GB.

Xiaomi announced the Mi 6 earlier this month for its home market of China, and the new flagship smartphone will become available over there tomorrow. It's seen huge levels of interest, with more than 1.2 million people registering on JD.com, the country's biggest online retailer. The fact that Xiaomi is launching a new handset in China first is no surprise, that's how it's always done things. But its devices do generally make it to the handful of other markets where it's officially present - eventually. However, a new rumor says that strategy could be changing for the Mi 6. The device isn't going to be released in India.

While none have exploded yet, Samsung's Galaxy S8 and S8+ haven't been 100% issue-free since they were released last week. Many people have reported a "red tint" being present on their handsets' screens, and the Korean company has already promised to put out a software update fixing that. The self-imposed time frame was "before the end of this month", and it looks like Samsung kept its word. The much anticipated update is now in the process of rolling out to Galaxy S8 and S8+ units sold in the company's home market of South Korea. For the S8, the new firmware version is G950NKSU1AQDG, while the S8+ gets G955NKSU1AQDG.

Today Nintendo posted its results for the fiscal year 2016, which for the company ends in March. Numbers revealed that the company sold 2.74 million units of the new console Switch. Interestingly enough Zelda: Breath of the Wild for Switch reported 2.76 million sales. Yep, some people bought the game even before owning the console. Another 1.1 million people bought it for Wii U, totaling to 3.84 million.

Today Sony detailed the availability of its new Xperia XZ Premium flagship in Europe and there is a nice surprise. The smartphone will go on pre-order next week, but it will be a gradual roll-out so some-markets will start taking reservations before others. Actual units will ship at the end of May or beginning of June in another step-by-step expansion. Pricing will be between €749 and €769 depending on where exactly you live.

Facebook launched the Messenger Lite app for Android last October, but up until this point it was available only in a handful of countries. This version of the company's chat app is lighter than the main Messenger (as the name implies), which means it should run on devices that have old or just low-end hardware without a hitch. Messenger Lite needs less memory and processing power to operate, and it even uses less data than the full-fledged app. The good news is that Facebook has now finally decided to expand Messenger Lite's reach.

The Xiaomi Mi 6 is getting showered with attention - over 1 million people have registered their interest on JD.com, the Chinese online retail giant. At the time of writing, the numbers have crossed the 1,250,000 mark and are still growing (do note that registrations are not the same as pre-orders). The flagship goes on sale tomorrow, when locals will be able to snag one starting at CNY 2,500 for the 6GB/64GB model. It’s CNY 2,900 if you want 128GB storage instead. Available color options are Black (with a glossy finish or a special ceramic), Blue and White.

Rumors, leaks and speculations regarding Apple's 10th anniversary iPhone 8 have been a frequent sight for quite some time now. In keeping with tradition, Cupertino isn't sharing any info on the matter, but more than a few reports of substantial parts orders can't all be made up.

Samsung has shared some more details about the red tint on some Galaxy S8 units. In a conference call the company said it has inspected the device and is confident about the product's quality. Here's what the tech giant said regarding the display issue: "Due to the nature of Super AMOLED displays, there can be natural differences in color. Users can optimize the color depending on their preferences."
