Moto X Pure Edition Moto Maker options detailed

Posted on by

Are you looking forward to the new Moto X Pure Edition? I’m personally waiting with money in hand. Buying it is the easy part come September, but figuring out how you want it customized will be tough. As with previous models, it will come with Moto Maker customizations so you can create your own unique device.

Thankfully, the options have been leaked in a neat infographic. The accents and frame are going to be anodized metal, with different colors available. The front lens will be black or white as usual. And the rear will have plenty of options, like leather, wood, and CSR patterns. I’m pretty excited about the charcoal ash wood option; it seems like it’ll be really nice.

When the device launches, how are you going to build yours? Let us know your choice in materials in the comments!

Huawei’s next Honor phone will come with a sliding camera

Posted on by

Huawei is already working on its next Honor-branded smartphone, even though it hasn't been long since it unveiled the Honor 7 (which we recently reviewed).

For the next member of the affordable Honor line, Huawei has packed an interesting differentiating feature on the hardware side: a sliding camera module.

As you can see from the images above, which have been revealed thanks to the TENAA certification the phone received, the two cameras of the new Honor will basically sit together on the same sliding assembly.

You'll thus be able to snap a pic with the rear camera at any time, but for the selfie unit to actually be able to work you'll first need to slide that assembly upwards. Thankfully, Huawei has thought of a pretty easy way to do just that – you simply use a dedicated button. This will be located on the left side of the device, and it will trigger the sliding up of the camera assembly.

Although at first this may seem like a completely pointless innovation, it does help to make the bezel above the screen smaller than we've seen in a lot of devices, while also fitting a dual-tone dual-LED flash for the front-facing camera as well as the rear one.

This smartphone is currently known only as the Huawei ATH-AL00, but when it launches it will get a name too. Unfortunately no details about its innards have been leaked yet, except that it might sport a fingerprint scanner embedded in that release button for the selfie camera. And as with past Honor products, it's probably going to have dual-SIM functionality and a Kirin chipset developed in-house.

Crunching The Numbers: AMD’s Radeon 380 Replaces Nvidia GTX 960 As The New 1080p Champ

Posted on by

When Nvidia launched their GTX 960 graphics card, it competed neck-and-neck with AMD’s Radeon 285 at the all-important $200 mainstream pricepoint. Ultimately we had to look beyond pure performance, with Team Green claiming the victory based on deciding factors like operating temperatures, performance-per-watt, and an exclusive advantage Nvidia had at the time: G-Sync.

Why Corporate America is Supporting EPA’s Clean Power Plan

Posted on by

Today as I joined President Obama at the White House and looked on as EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy issued the agency’s final Clean Power Plan rule, I found myself reflecting on how much has changed in the past 25 years. Indeed, a lot of things were different in 1990: George H.W., not Jeb, was contemplating his future in the Oval Office; the only Taylor on the airwaves was named James; and businesses were widely opposed to the latest regulations aimed at reducing pollution from power plants.

angry-birds-2

El calendario sigue avanzando sin remedio hacia el último tramo del verano mientras que la inmensa mayoría de la población escoge este mes de agosto para irse de vacaciones dirección a la playa más cercana, antes teniendo que aguantar un viaje lento por las vagas carreteras españolas. Supongo que siempre has pensado que lo peor de las vacaciones es el viaje, pero por suerte ahora contamos con smartphones y tabletas que nos hacen la vida mucho más fácil, ahogando esos tiempos de espera que antes tanto nos incordiaban. Para que puedas afrontar las vacaciones con mejor cara, te traemos un nuevo recopilatorio de cinco grandes juegos indispensables para tu dispositivo Android y que podrás usar durante tus vacaciones de agosto. Entre la oferta que ofrecemos se encuentra el esperado Angry Birds 2, Stupid Zombie 2 y Five Nights at Freddy 4, ¿interesante, verdad?.

  • Angry Birds 2 – lo estábamos esperando y Angry Birds 2 ya se encuentra entre nosotros en un título que mantiene la jugabilidad clásica pero que incluye una mayor fuerza en su control, algunos reclamos de suma importancia y un nivel visual remozado para que la eterna lucha entre pájaros y cerdos alcance un nuevo sentido, pero aún más divertido.

  • Forest Home – Los más pequeños podrán disfrutar de Forest Home, un título de puzles donde nos toca llevar a simpáticos animalitos a sus respectivas madrigueras en un compendio de puzles que nos desafiarán intentando no repetir rutas entre nuestros personajes. Estética infantil para un juego dirigido a todos los públicos.

  • Stupid Zombies 3 – Si pensabas que te habías quitado de encima la temáica zombi, estabas muy equivocado porque con Stupid Zombies 3 tienes un juego de puzles con mucha habilidad donde deberás usar el escenario y tu puntería para eliminar a un conjunto de zombis con el menor número de tiros posibles.
