Androidifying

Nokia just unveiled a number of new devices  at MWC 2018 , bringing the company back into the modern landscape with a slew of new Android devices. From the ultra-low-end reboot of the Nokia 8110 to the mid-tier flagship Nokia 7 Plus , the company is certainly starting its year off right. The star of the show, however, is the brand-new Nokia 8 Sirocco. The company is bringing the iconic brand name back with a bang. Editor's Pick Hands-on with Nokia’s new lineup from MWC 2018 HMD Global had a great start with their Nokia line up last year, and it looks like they are keen not to lose any of that momentum. At MWC, the company is announcing a line … The glass-and-steel body curves around the sides of the device to create a sharp edge that’s more stylish than functional. It’s pretty difficult to hold since the edges are so sharp. Still, the Nokia 8 Sirocco looks like a piece of art. While the phone does come with extra features like wireless charging and an

Amazon purchased smart camera and doorbell company Ring for more than $1 billion, according to reports. The company is expected to continue operating as its own independent business with a greater focus on Amazon product integration. If the $1 billion figure is accurate, it would make this one of Amazon’s biggest ever investments. Amazon has acquired smart home firm Ring in a more than $1 billion deal, according to reports. Reuters broke the news yesterday before it was subsequently confirmed by other websites . Ring is the producer of home security products like connected doorbells and cameras. It was founded in 2012 and featured on ABC’s Shark Tank in 2013 without securing an investment (only one offer was made and it was turned down ). It’s expected that Ring will continue to operate as its own entity while focusing on integration with Amazon products. Amazon also acquired smart doorbell and camera startup Blink in December , but we don’t yet know exactly what its plan

LG’s Hwang Jeong-hwan confirmed that LG will release a totally new premium smartphone this year. He said it will focus on the key features of a smartphone: audio, battery, camera, and display. LG is in the midst of a major shake-up of its loss-making mobile strategy. In a press conference at  Mobile World Congress on Tuesday, the head of LG’s mobile business Hwang Jeong-hwan confirmed that the company will release a totally new premium smartphone this year. As reported by Yonhap News , the company will go back to basics and focus on four key features: audio, battery, camera, and display (a.k.a. the ABCDs). LG’s mobile strategy has long been  losing the company money and it has made some pretty big attempts to change this up in recent months. First of all, LG announced that it was abandoning its strict annual release schedule . Soon after, the release of the G7 was reportedly  delayed in order to review the product from scratch. LG’s only major release at the MWC was the

Huffington Post Lawmakers in Oregon are attempting to pass legislation that would circumvent FCC rules on Net Neutrality. Oregon joins several other states that are trying to pass legislation or executive orders to keep Net Neutrality going. With Net Neutrality officially ending in April, the clock is ticking to enact viable solutions. Although the Federal Communications Commission voted to repeal Net Neutrality in December , that hasn’t stopped individual states from attempting to bring some degree of neutrality to their own districts. Oregon is the latest state to introduce legislation  that circumvents the FCC, without technically contradicting its rules. Oregon’s proposal seeks to make it illegal for state agencies to sign internet service contracts with companies that don’t abide by net neutrality practices . In other words, a state government operation like a public school or courthouse would have its choices of internet service providers limited to companies with neut

After launching in several territories around the world, Bandai Namco finally launched Tekken Mobile in the U.S. — two days ahead of schedule. Whether you should actually download the free-to-play title is another matter. If you have played mobile fighting games like Injustice 2 and Transformers: Forged to Fight, you mostly know how to play Tekken Mobile. Tap and hold on the left part of the screen to guard, while consecutive taps on the right lead to a combo. Tap and hold on the right side to execute a more powerful attack that can break an opponent’s block. Swipe left or right to shift your character across the screen in that direction. It is a system that works well on Tekken Mobile, but it’s hardly original. The big twist is the cards system. Cards represent your special moves and show up on the bottom right of your screen. You can combo together these special strikes to inflict significant damage on your opponent. For example, you can use a guard break, followed by a j
