Motorola Moto X4 delayed, Moto E4 out in the US on June 30
Originally, both devices were supposed to be released by the end of this month. Now, though, it seems that Moto X4 will be delayed. Why is that?

Speaking of which, not much is known about X4’s specification, but we do know it will have a 5.5-inch display, 1080p and a 3800mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0. Tweet Vote on ...
Google says it will not scan our mails any longer. No more personalized adds? Or just marketing bull***t?
It sucks, but ever since 2014 our Google Mail messages have been scanned by Google. Scanning a mail does not mean that someone actually read it, of course, but it does mean that someone got the general gist of what you are usually writing about. Internet security is, as of late, one of the hottest topics world-wide, which may have prompted Google to stop doing this – at least officially (yeah, I do not really trust corporations).Diane Green, Senior Vice President of Google Cloud, announced that some time this year Gmail stop scanning user’s mails and will instead test a new ...

Originally, Xperia XA1 was to debut in Canada yesterday, June 22. Cause of delay is, at least officially, no biggie – Sony reportedly has some problems with shipping the device abroad. If there is some interesting story behind it, perhaps something about a government corruption and Reptilians infiltrating human society, we know nothing about it.Hopefully the delay will not damage Xperia XA1’s sells, at least not too badly. Once it arrives to the land of snow and hockey, phone will be available to buy from Videotron and Freedom Mobile. Here is the phone’s specification, in ...
