Droid Turbo 2, Galaxy Note 5, S6 edge+ all headed to Verizon

Posted on by

While the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ are widely expected to be officially unveiled at the Unpacked event taking place on August 13, now a new leak is confirming their names. Furthermore, both phones are going to be sold by Verizon, perhaps unsurprisingly.

We know all this thanks to the image you can see below, which is purported to be an upcoming inventory listing from Costco.

That’s not all it reveals, though. There is going to be a Droid flagship this year too, it turns out, and it will be called Droid Turbo 2. Even if this isn’t mentioned in the listing, there’s no reason to think any company other than Motorola is producing it.

No specs have been outed this time around, so the Droid Turbo 2 remains a bit of mystery in this regard. That said, the Note 5 and S6 edge+ have been leaked an incredible amount of times already, so there really is little we don’t already know about them.

It looks like Costco is going to be offering Verizon’s version of the Note 5 in black and white with 32GB of storage, while the S6 edge+ will also be stocked in its 64GB iteration, in the same color versions. Of course there could be more hues and storage versions to come, or perhaps this retailer will only sell a subset of what will be available from day one.

It’s unclear when any of these handsets will actually be in stores, but from this point on it’s probably just a matter of…

Sony’s New PS4 Projector Costs As Much As The Console

Posted on by

Sony hasn’t had a terribly large presence at Gamescom this year, certainly not at the level of Microsoft which actually had a full-on stage show earlier in the week. But they have debuted one interesting new piece of tech for the PS4 which could almost work as a quasi-answer to Microsoft’s new Windows 10-to-Xbox One streaming functionality.

Verizon axes two-year contracts as it refreshes rate plans

Posted on by

Over the last few years, the mobile industry has been making some major changes to the way that those in the U.S. get their hands on smartphones and other devices. While two-year contracts and phone subsidies aren’t completely gone just yet, it all seems inevitable at this point. And Verizon Wireless is now driving that point home.

The wireless carrier has just confirmed that some major changes are coming to its plan lineup on Thursday, August 13. First and foremost, the rate plans are changing in a big way, getting more simplified along the way. They will now be known simply as Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large. The Small plan will offer 1GB of data per month for $30 per month, the Medium with 3GB of data for $45 per month, while the Large will boast 6GB of data for $60 per month, and, finally, the X-Large plan will offer 12GB of data for $80 per month.

A $15 per gigabyte fee will hit any subscriber that goes over their monthly allotment.

On top of that initial charge, Big Red will charge a monthly access fee of $20 per smartphone, $10 per tablet or dongle, and $5 per wearable. Finally, subscribers will have to tack on the monthly payment of their smartphone, tablet, dongle, and/or wearable, too.

Why? Because Verizon Wireless is ditching two-year contracts completely beginning August 13. The carrier is moving away from the option altogether, going all-in with monthly payments. Verizon is also ditching its “Edge” branding in this big shuffle.

Current Verizon subscribers won’t have to change their plan to the new one by default, but if they want a new phone, or to change their plan to cut some costs, these new offerings will be the only ones available beginning August 13. And, if someone does switch to the new plans, the new phone must be purchased with monthly payments, as those yearly contract options won’t be available.

What do you think of these changes?

Deadlock Online, uno de los juegos de tiros más famosos de iOS, aterriza en Android

Deadlock Online

Como siempre nos gusta decir en Andro4all, a todos nosotros nos gusta jugar a videojuegos. En ese sentido, Android nos brinda una gran oportunidad, porque tenemos juegos de todos los géneros. Uno de ellos es el de disparos, que es precisamente del que vamos a hablar hoy. Deadlock Online, uno de los juegos de tiros más famosos de iOS, acaba de ser lanzado en Google Play para traernos toda la acción a nuestros dispositivos.

Deadlock Online –desarrollado por Crescent Moon Games– fue lanzado en iOS hace muchísimo tiempo, para ser exactos, en 2011. El juego consiste en una sandbox –un campo de juego– en el que tendremos que enfrentarnos a otros siete jugadores en un duelo a muerte con nuestras armas. Por supuesto, y como su nombre indica, es un juego online, por lo que eso nos ayuda a que cada partida sea diferente y tenga un nivel de dificultad distinto.

A diferencia de otros juegos del género, Deadlock Online tiene una gran variedad de armas de todo tipo. Conforme vayamos jugando iremos consiguiendo más y más armas, hasta conseguir las 30 que el juego nos brinda en su primera versión, porque lo normal es que, según se actualice, vayan añadiendo más. También tenemos diferentes mapas en los que se organizan torneos y competiciones, por si queremos demostrar que somos los mejores ante todo el mundo.

Los controles son, por supuesto, táctiles. Con el botón izquierdo nos desplazaremos hacia los diferentes sitios, mientras que con el control derecho dispararemos nuestro arma. Deadlock Online se puede descargar de manera totalmente gratuita en Google Play, pero viene con compras in-app integradas, que van desde un euro hasta los diez. Eso sí, como en la mayoría de estos juegos, las compras no son para necesarias para disfrutar del juego, por lo que si estáis buscando un juego de disparos y un poco de acción, no dudéis en darle una oportunidad.

¿Qué os parece Deadlock Online? ¿Lo conocíais?

Motorola takes £155 off the price of the Moto X (2nd gen) in the UK

Posted on by

Back in June Motorola started a summer-themed promotion in the UK, and it looks like that turned out to be successful. That’s because the company is now holding yet another summer sale in the UK. It’s going to happen until August 31, so you still have plenty of time to take advantage of it.

By far the biggest deal in terms of savings is offered on the Moto X (2nd gen), which is unsurprising given that its two successors, the Moto X Play and the Moto X Style, have already been announced.

Yet if you don’t mind owning last year’s flagship, you can now purchase it for £155 less than its normal price. The new starting price is £240 when you order it through Motorola’s Moto Maker customization service. That’s not bad for a handset that was considered high-end in 2014.

Motorola is also shaving £10 off the price of the Moto E (2nd gen), taking it down to £99 in the process. Although this isn’t much in absolute terms, it’s still essentially 10% off.

To be able to take advantage of either offer, you’ll need to insert a special promo code in the system on checkout. For the Moto X (2nd gen), the code you need is UKSUMMERSALE1, while for the Moto E (2nd gen) simply input UKSUMMERSALE2 into the appropriate…
