Pixel and Pixel XL vs Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P: Size comparison

Seems like the upcoming Google Pixel and Pixel XL phones are making the news every day. So much specs info, so many renders and allegedly real photos of the devices have leaked already, that it would only be normal to assume that we already know most of the details. Everything from the internals, to the screen sizes, to the software these phones will allegedly run seems to be set in stone in the minds of many. But do we really know all there is to know about the Google Pixel and Pixel XL? No, we don’t. Among other things, we don’t even know for certain how big the screen … – Source

Oculus apps allegedly cause overheating, battery drain on recently updated Galaxy smartphones

It looks like owners of the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S7, and Galaxy S7 edge have been complaining of battery drain and overheating problems since a recent update was pushed to their handsets. A Reddit user alleged that their phone discharged down to 86% in just 15 minutes of very minimal use, with the screen getting uncomfortably hot. An hour of no use at all later, the device stood at 57% battery charge. Needless to say, that’s a very rapid deterioration of battery life that’s not to be taken lightly.

Another Reddit user suggested that the issues started to appear after an … – Source

Nate Parker has again become defiant over the discussion of a rape charge that he believes is eclipsing the importance of his forthcoming film Birth of a Nation.

Misfits ended up on top, taking the match 3-2, sticking it out through close rounds, trading maps the whole way. Rogue played well but weren’t able to pull it off in map five, going down with a strong fight.

Starting out on King’s Row, Rogue began on defense. They played carefully, not wanting to over-extend, and it worked out for them for awhile. Misfits pushed into the final stage of the map but a nano-boosted Reaper was ready for them with a death blossom. …

LeEco Le Pro 3 sells half a million units in just 15 seconds

While this week’s major China-based flagship launch has been all about the Xiaomi Mi 5s duo, LeEco beat its compatriot to the draw with the recent Le Pro 3.
