LG X Power and LG G Pad X II are now available with U.S. Cellular

Image
If you are a U.S. Cellular customer and looking for an affordable device with a behemoth battery, then you’re in luck: the American carrier just announced that the LG X Power will be available for $0 down along with the LG G Pad X II. See also: Best smartphones under $100 19 The LG X Power is a pretty attractive device, I must say. Though it may not be boasting an all-aluminum body or a sleek glass design, it has a simple, minimalist look with a nicely curved back. Also, it comes in a deep black color option, which seems to be a new trend in the smartphone market. In terms of its specs, the LG X Power, as the name may suggest, has a humongous 4,100 mAh capacity battery. Given its 5.3-inch HD (1280 x 720) display and the relatively low-power Snapdragon 210 processor, this should get you through a full day and much more. It runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow right out of the box and features a 5-megapixel front camera for all the selfie-lovers out there. The only disappointment may be i

News Pro is Microsoft’s new personalized news app for Android

Image
Google Everything is about personalization these days: fitness apps create a workout routine for your specific needs, music streaming apps have customized playlists ready for you, and now, Microsoft is joining in on the fun with its new app. News Pro is a news app much like Flipboard or Yahoo News , but it generates content that it thinks will interest you. A lot like what every Android phone has already: Google Now. As you can see above, you create your profile – which you can do through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or your personal email address – and News Pro creates the news content for you. I’m currently located in the US, so it makes sense for my wall to be dominated by election articles and football, but some of the reviews mention that no matter your location, News Pro is displaying the same content for everyone. You can use the search bar at the top to find a specific topic – such as technology, elections, food, and the list goes on – and add whichever topic interests yo

Micro Machines rumbles to the Play Store

Image
If you’re a racing fan, then a must-have app just arrived in the Google Play Store. It’s a flashback to the classic 90’s Micro Machines toy line, now ready to test drive the mobile market. It combines everything you love about racing games, shoot-em-ups, and the G.I. Joe franchise. In the same vein as Mario Kart, Micro Machines puts you behind the wheel of a heavily armed vehicle, this time on a micro scale. Micro Machines sees you pitting yourself against NPCs and other players to be the first to cross the finish line intact. Along the way, you collect gems and coins so you can upgrade and alter your vehicle to fit your preferences. There are nearly 80 different Micro Machines that you can collect in this game, and they range from police cars to hovercrafts. There are even some vehicles from G.I. Joe including the Cobra H.I.S.S. tank. In addition to racing, there is also a Battle Arena mode, which reminds us once again of Mario Kart or classics like San Francisco Rush 2049. See

If there’s a company you should be watching right now, it’s probably LeEco. Previously referred to as the “Netflix of China,” media outlets are now starting to call it the “Google of China.” Although the company had its humble roots in video streaming, they quickly expanded their services to include automated cars, Android-powered bikes, smartphones, and navigation technology. And they’re coming to the US. LeEco actually already has a physical presence in the US. They recently opened up a North American HQ in San Jose , and then they purchased 48.6 acres of undeveloped land from Yahoo in Santa Clara for further expansion. Indeed, the company has unabashed plans for total world domination , and their CEO caused some waves by trashing Apple and calling them “ outdated .” See also: Not just smartphones: LeEco plans $1.8 billion self-driving car factory 2 However, LeEco is far from a household name in the states. Most Americans not keeping a keen watch on the tech industry may ha
