Fans of the Amazon Appstore’s Free App of the Day feature may be interested to learn that during Friday only they can pick up not one app but nine for the princely sum of nothing. And to make the deal that little bit sweeter, you’ll get 100 Amazon Coins for each one you download. 

The free bundle is aimed at those who enjoy fiddling around with photos, with a range of editing tools offered in the one-day deal.

Among them is PicShop – Photo Editor, a highly regarded editing suite with support for HD images of up to 8MB. Plenty of filters and editing options should help you to enhance great images and save dodgy ones, while “fun” stickers, frames and overlays allow for added creativity.

You’ll also find Photo Studio PRO (Kindle Tablet Edition), featuring 125 filters (Lomo, Vintage, Simple tone, Old style, Summer mood, and Art among them), 40 special effects, and plenty more besides.

The rest of the bundle includes TouchRetouch (remove unwanted objects from your photos), Perfectly Clear (get the perfect image with a single tap), Paper Camera (turn your photos into sketches, comic books, and cartoons), Camera ZOOM FX, (includes some powerful camera functions with useful post-processing features), PicFrame (36 adjustable frames for up to five photos), FireFrame (turn your Kindle Fire into a digital picture frame), and Rhonna Designs (add text, colors, frames, designs, and more to your images).

Priced between $0.99 and $3.99, you’ll save yourself a not-to-be-scoffed-at $17 if you load up the lot. So if you’re a keen mobile shooter looking for some new ways to beautify your images, click on one or all of the links above to get your hands on the free software.

I love the Oura Ring 4, except for one big thing
Oura RIng 4 Silver Size 12 on a shelf

Since I had a heart attack four years ago at the age of 33, the Oura Ring has been a trusty sidekick for managing my health. First, it was the Oura Ring 2, and a few months later, the Oura Ring 3 became my go-to when it launched three years ago.

That’s changed this year as every company competes for a spot on our best smart rings list. The number of smart rings has grown exponentially this year, and many companies are launching first-generation or second-generation smart rings — offering viable alternatives to Oura. The company’s answer? The Oura Ring 4.

Don’t buy the Kindle Colorsoft, buy this e-reader instead
dont buy the kindle colorsoft onyx boox go color 7 instead 1

Everyone is talking about e-readers again, and it's because Amazon recently released a whole new bunch of Kindles. Of the new releases, one stands apart as something new for Amazon: The Kindle Colorsoft is the company's first attempt at a color e-ink display, and it replaces the long-forgotten Kindle Oasis as Amazon's new flagship e-reader device. At $280, it's certainly an expensive piece of kit — especially if you consider the basic Kindle costs almost a third of that. But it's quite simply the most advanced Kindle that Amazon has ever made.

So, does that mean you should buy it immediately? Absolutely not; I want you to buy something else instead.

Mega gaming phone’s specs look set to crush the competition
The Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro's mini-LED display on the back of the phone.

Asus is preparing to launch the ROG Phone 9 and 9 Pro in November, and we've been given a hint at the specificationa in an extensive leak ahead of the big day. The ROG Phone 9 and 9 Pro will both have 6.78-inch displays with a variable fresh rate up to 120Hz, according to YTechB. However, there's a dedicated "Game Genie" mode (which is an excellent name for a gaming phone feature) that can reach up to 185Hz — perfect for competitive games like Call of Duty Mobile. The screen resolution is 1080 x 2448 pixels, and the phone itself measures in at 163.77 by 76.78 by 8.9 mm.

As far as the processor goes, the ROG Phone 9 and 9 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and the Adreno 830 GPU. Of course, they'll both sport Android 15, too. We aren't sure how many different configurations will be available, but it seems the ROG Phone 9 will have the option of 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, while the Pro model will likely have 16GB of RAM and 512GB storage. It's possible there will be other options, too.
