LG X Charge, budget phone with the largest LG battery ever available in the US now

LG has made another venture into a budget phone line, and an interesting one too. Device’s overall specification is nothing to write home about:– 5.5-inch display, 1280 x 720p,– MediaTek MT6750 chipset, 1.5GHz,– 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, microSD slot,– 13mpx main camera, 5mpx secondary camera,– 4500mAh battery,– Android 7.0 Nougat OS.The aforementioned battery is X Charge’s most interesting bit of hardware. 4500mAh is the largest battery LG has put it any of its phones up to date. Personally I am not sure if such a device – low ...

Jindallae 3, or how North Korea made „its own” iPhone

Well, well, North Korea will become an industrial and electronics power yet! Newest northkorean smartphone’s (not that anyone ever remembers when did the last one come out…) looks like an iPhone knockoff, and is said to be run by a modified Android OS, but the details are sketchy.You might be asking, do North Koreans need such a device? After all, regular NK citizen probably cannot afford such device at all, and even if they could, North Korean internet network Kwangmyong is both poor (only 28 websites!!!!) and difficult to reach and foreign websites are virtually impossible to ...

Two new Nokia feature phones received TENAA certification

Nokia seems to like its feature phones. After the success of new Nokia 3310, the company is cooking up two more old-school devices. Nokia TA-1010 and TA-1034 are believed to be the modernized editions of Nokia 105 and Nokia 130, although modernized may be too big a word – TA-1010 will not have even the simplest of cameras. Damn…There is no list of device’s specifications, but with devices like this specifications can be summed up as ”ancient-like” anyway, so it doesn’t matter. There is also no word on the phones’ date of release, so all we can do is ...

New ZTE Nubia just passed TENAA certification

Device is listed as NX907J, and I am glad to say that the TENAA certificate is quite informative about it. New ZTE phone weights 163g and measures 155.3×77.2×7.95mm.

Spec-wise, it seems to be a medium-low device; as such, it is ...

Facebook has over two billion users. Hurray, whee, yaay

Of course, a large number of these accounts are either fakes or no longer used (because, for example, their owner died), buuuut ”FB has two billion users, but some of them are fake, gone or dead” would not make a good title.Anyway, real or not, Facebook does not plan on letting such a milestone pass without acknowledging it. Social website prepares a few surprises for its users. One of them, perhaps the largest, is a personalized video. It supposedly shows the user’s contributions to Facebook, but it will probably end up showing your posts that earned the most likes and ...

Samsung’s Walk Mode app is a pointless, annoying and overall ridiculous battery drainer

Long story short; Walk Mode is horrible, don’t download it, kk bye.Sigh… okay, I guess I have to tell you a bit more. Walk Mode is a smartphone application released by Samsung. The app is only available in India as of now and pray to god it will stay there, I mean, there is no info on its global release date. Walk Mode is advertised as a notification app, warning the user of any danger that presents before he/she as he/she walks while using phone. Sounds pretty neat, no? What could it be? Some sort of augmented reality tech, an object detector that will alert us of cars, ...

An easy way to defend against Petya

Yesterday afternoon I had a (dis)pleasure of informing you about Petya, a new and dangerous virus. In summary, Petya is ransomware. Ransomware is a virus that blocks access to your device and only unlocks it after you pay a given sum of money to the hackers who created it, like a ransom. The virus is mostly after company networks, but there are cases of private computers being hacked as well.Sounds scary, does it not? One day you are coming back home and powering up your PC, only to find out you cannot access it because some jerk of a hacker said so. Thankfully, a way of protecting your ...

Large number of popular US websites down, reason unknown

Pinterest, Amazon, The New York Times, Reddit, Wired, Business Insider, CNN and more – all of these websites are down and unavailable in many parts of the United States. East side of the country seems to be particulary hard struck by the issue. What is the problem? News’ title says it all. Many large US websites are down ever since today’s morning. A number of errors pop up when an attempt to enter the site is made.Problem seems to be connected to Fastly, a cloud hosting service service that supports the backends of all the affected websites. According to Fastly’s ...
