How often have you found it hard to express yourself just with words? Wouldn’t it be great if you could search for song lyrics that reflect your mood, edit that exact clip you want and share it? This is precisely what one of the innovative features of new music-app Musations allows you to do. It takes two of the most popular smartphone activities, social chat and music, and combines them with a host of other fun and creative functions, all in one app.
Musations gives users a novel way to share how they feel through the power of music, whether that be through a personalised ‘Lip-Sync’ or a ‘Sound Clip’ of their favourite song.
With this in mind, Musations today launches the ‘Musations Feelings Lab’, a site dedicated to self-expression and creativity, particularly for teenagers. Peter Graham, Director of Marketing and Communications at Musations, said: “Above everything else, music is about feelings. We wanted to build one social app, where expression was driven by music, allowing people to have fun with how they express their mood. We are so excited by this we are launching the Musations Feelings lab today with ‘The Teenagifier’ experiment, investigating whether adults can handle the pressure of adolescence and how that affects their expression.”

Also Huawei also unveiled a larger version of the P8 of its new flagship at the London launch event, the P8Max.
With a 6.8-inch display that covers 83 percent of the front of the phone, the P8 is undeniably humungous. We haven’t seen a phablet of these proportions for some time now, and presumed the trend had died a death.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNrvge6D2P8
Not so, it seems. For such an enormous device, the P8 Max is extraordinarily thin at only 6.8mm thin, it is thinner than both the iPhone 6 Plus and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
The Max will start at 549 euros (£394) for the 32GB version, the P8max comes in gold, champagne and grey colour offerings, all of which look good.
Today Huawei has unveiled its new flagship P8 smartphone at an event held in London. The P8 aims to pick up where the Ascend P7 left off, offering premium specs in a slim, stylish metal unibody.
Key specs of the Ascend P8 include:-

The Huawei P8 will go on sale later this month in the UK and Europe, Huawei hasn’t so far announced plans to bring it to the USA.
Other features of the camera include a time-lapse function that allows you to create a video from your photographs and drop in your own soundtrack. Huawei has also provided a “director mode” for movie making. This basically means you’ll be able to switch between the front and rear cameras in real time as you’re shooting.
AS you can see the P8 camera doesn’t stick out of the back of the phone unlike other designs.
The P8 starts at €499 (£358) for 16GB of storage and €599 for 64GB. It will initially be available in more than 30 countries including China, Columbia, France, Germany, Mexico, Spain, South Africa, Turkey, UAE, and the United Kingdom
Huawei are only a few hours away from launch the new Huawei P8 in London today at 3pm UK time or 7am PT or 10am ET.

With rumours of a 5.2 inch device and anyone guess on the processor on the P8.
