It is a shame, though, that Galaxy J5 still has not, and probably will not, receive an OS update to Nougat. Oh ...

Mate 10 will not be revealed alone, though – it will have company in the form of Huawei Mate 10 Lite.

These zombies are more and more often the cause of traffic accidents, especially when they walk the crosswalk without looking around – after all, why waste valuable time when they can instead gawk at their 5.5′ ...
