Fujifilm Instax 11 is a smarter instant camera with a selfie mode

The new Fujifilm Instax 11 will do all the work for you. This instant analog camera can automatically adjust shutter speed and flash output based on the ambient lighting conditions. Past Instax models needed you to change the exposure dial manually, but now the Instax 11 will figure it out for you. This feature means there might be fewer wasted shots, which could mean better photos while also saving you some money on the film.

The Fujifilm Instax 11 also has a new selfie mode built-in. You just need to pull the translucent ring in front of the lens so you can extend it for selfies. A small mirror is located right next to the lens, so you can be sure you're framing your shot right. You can even use the selfie mode to take close up shots of other subjects.

Fujifilm X-T4 comes with in-body image stablization

Fujifilm just introduced its newest mirrorless flagship camera, the X-T4. One of its most significant features is the new in-body image stabilization (IBIS).

The X-T4 comes with a new X-Trams 26.1-megapixel CMOS 4 sensor and quad-core X-Processor 4, which promises a wide dynamic range and fast autofocus. The camera is capable of taking 26.1-megapixel photos at 15 frames per second, thanks to its mechanical shutter.

Huawei improves the screen and processor on the foldable Mate XS

Huawei has improved its foldable device in ways where it counts: its display and processor. And so the Mate X successor, the aptly named Mate XS, features a more durable display and a faster processor. 

Huawei is using a "quad-layer" construction for its plastic display, which the company claims should make it more robust. Up top, there are two layers of polyamide film stuck together with a clear adhesive. Below that is the flexible OLED display, and then a softer polymer layer is underneath that serving as a cushion and the last layer connecting the screen to the Mate XS's main body.
