ZTE Axon 7 is discontinued in the US

ZTE can be seen slowly taking hold in the United States of America, largerly thanks to the relatively low cost of their phones and prepaid wireless service provider tie. ZTE’s newly found success in the land of freedom and justice will not, though, help a one and a half-year old Axon 7 from being discontinued. The phone is reported to be out of production, so after the stock available is gone from the stores, that is it, game over, man, game over. It is already out of stock in the OEM’s official US store. It can still be found on Amazon, where it costs $399.99. Grab them while ...

Google Sneak Peek Detector, or how Google wants you to know when someone is peeking into your phone

Smartphone is nowadays one of the most important, if not -the- most important, every day use objects in our lives. It is a great multitool thatnot only serves as a mean to complete multitude of tasks, but also holds various important information about its user. Browsing history, text messages,bank account info and more can be collected from our device if anyone gets their grubby hands on it. Still, many of those things do not require an evilhacker to take hold on our phone and crack its security – lots of info can be stolen by people simply peeking over your shoulder. To that, Google ...

Huawei cannot say their latest phone is not getting some decent advertisement! Honor V10 has just passed AnTuTu benchmark, where it received a pretty impressive score of 165,587. Seeing how the phone’s score nearly matches that of considerably more expensive Mate 10 (175,426) and Mate 10 Pro (178,510), it may be a good idea to pass the ”Mates” in favour of honouring the better deal.Get it?

Motorola will release the Moto X5 smartphone

Evan ”@evleaks” Blass, God Bless Him, has unearthed another tasty morsel of a mobile rumour. His newest finding is a leaked logo of Moto X5. That logo is also the only thing he dug out, but its very existence is Motorola either planning to, or already working on Moto X4’s successor.Moto X5’s specifications is anyone’s guess.

Samsung mocked Apple and now Motorola mocks them both

Hey, guys. Remember this hilarious advertisement about Samsung trolling Apple? Well, it now has a spinoff! The sort-of sequel to Samsung’s ad is made by Motorola. It is called ”Up-Upgrade to Motorola”.What is the story? A young man that we remember from Samsung’s advertisement is leading a seemingly happy and comfortable life. He comes home, sits on a couch and whips off his Samsung, ready to watch a video. His wife, seemingly a guardian angel of mobile telecommunication, stops him and takes out her fresh new Motorola Moto Z2 Play. She takes out a Moto Mod projector ...

Bitcoin is now worth over nine thousand dollars

Impressive. Price of bitcoin grows very fast despite many voices against it – for example Ulrich Stephan from Deutsche Bank categorically denounces it as an untrustworthy investment. Opposition does nothing to stem its grow, though, as a single bitcoin is now worth 9093,26 dollars. Is it a financial bubble, ready to pop at any moment? Or is it the future of the financials? I do not know. All I know is that, if you want to mine bitcoins yourself, you need to buy a very good graphics card and prepare for some solid electric bills.Spend money to make money, I guess.Edit, 15:37: Breaking ...

If you are Imgur users, you probably already know about it; if not, keep reading. Imgur has just announced that three years ago its servers have come under successful attack by an unknown hacker/s. Attack took place in 2014 and the company has only learned about it now, and only thanks to the help from a third party – namely Troy Hunt, web security expert and owner of the Have I been pwned website. Three years, huh? Either the cyber-thieves that attacked Imgur excel at their chosen profession or Imgur’s security, to put it lightly, sucks a*s.Roy Sehgal, chief operating officer ...
