360 Mobiles, formerly Qiku, has scored a couple of interesting launches earlier this year, like 360 Q5 and Q5 Plus, both equipped with a dual camera, or the 360 N4S with a d*mn large 5000mAh battery. Girls and boys from 360 Mobiles are busy bees, though, and will continue surprising us (possibly) in two weeks, when their latest device, 360 N4A, launches. Unfortunately, the released poster does not give us much info. The written part roughly translates as “True Gold“, but counting on a phone made of pure gold may be a bit too much (not to mention counting money it would cost to ...

Portrait mode wasn’t sufficiently polished to be released along with the 7 Plus model. It’s been released now, with iOS 10.1, but, to be honest, it is still not polished – released version is a beta one. Oh well, the best quality assurance is free quality assurance.

It’s not easy to make a good photo using this mode – good lightning and proper, careful angles are neccessary – but so far, ...
