OnePlus X Champagne Edition announced, available starting December 22

Posted on by

OnePlus officially unveiled the OnePlus X Champagne Edition. The new color combination features white for the front and back, while the metal frame is done in champagne gold color. Check out the new look below, we find it quite fancy.

Mind you, this is not a variation of the Ceramic OnePlus X, but rather of the Onyx one. As such, the Champagne Edition is now available for €269.

The phone has been very well received in China in the last few weeks, which is the reason why OnePlus decided to make the phone available internationally as well. Be wary, that unlike the OnePlus 2, you’re going to need an invite to get this one. Alternatively, you can just get it on Tuesady, when it’s on open sale.

Before rushing to buy it, make sure to check out our OnePlus X…

Microsoft adds 16 more Xbox 360 games to Xbox One

Posted on by

Microsoft has really been trying hard lately to sweeten the deal for current Xbox fans and possibly captivate a whole new wave of players. The major change we are referring to is the much requested Xbox 360 backward compatibility, just recently introduced to Xbox One.

For anyone unfamiliar with the ambitious undertaking, last month, Microsoft released a major Windows 10-based, update to the Xbox One, complete with backward compatibility with Xbox 360 titles. Seeing how it is quite a complicated endeavor, the process does require a fair amount of work from the EOM so the project was launched with an initial list of 104 supported Xbox 360 games, but also with a promise to periodically enrich the database.

Today, Microsoft has shown commitment to keep said promise with another 16 titles joining the list. Highlights among them include fan favorites, such as Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Fable III, and Halo: Reach. The full list is as follows:

Braid
DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION
Doritos Crash Course
Fable III
Halo: Reach
Hydro Thunder
Iron Brigade
Kane & Lynch 2
Motocross Madness
MS.PAC-MAN
Peggle
Portal: Still Alive
Spelunky
Splosion Man
Ticket to Ride™
Zuma’s Revenge!

If you own any of these titles as a digital edition or on a disc, they will now work on the Xbox One, as well as any of the other 104 titles, a fully list of which can be found here. The announcement also came with a statement by a Microsoft spokesperson, which hints that legal matters might actually be more of a concern to adding additional titles to the list than technological issues.

We’re continuing to work with our publishing partners to grow our library of Xbox One Backward Compatibility titles . We’ll be adding to the catalog on a regular basis.

As an added bonus, since Xbox One also has support for Windows 10 streaming, so you can play all your Xbox titles on your PC as well.

Samsung and LG won’t be making the leap to 4K displays in 2016

Posted on by

It seems the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium will remain the only smartphone (well, at least from a major brand) to pack an UltraHD display throughout next year as well. Samsung and LG are in no hurry to make the switch to 4K phone panels, a Korean report states.

Industry insiders have reported that that the resolution race is not a priority for the two companies, and they will instead concentrate on improving outdoor visibility, brightness and power efficiency. The choice to keep flagships in QHD territory will also help to keep production costs lower than what 4K panels would entail.

Part of the reasoning behind the move (or lack thereof) is that the two Korean corporations’ display divisions manufacture panels for other makers and demand hasn’t been high, the report goes on.

And even though Samsung is in a leading position in the VR-for-mobile market with its Gear VR headset, virtual reality hasn’t yet taken off as much as to require the immediate switch to higher-res screens.

myAppFree lanzado en Android para ofrecerte apps de pago de forma gratuita cada día

Posted on by

MyAppFree

Windows Phone no acaba por tener un gran repertorio de aplicaciones, pero sí que va contando poco a poco con un buen número de apps importantes como son algunas incorporaciones que ha tenido esta semana como son Netflix o TuneIn Radio. Algo casi vital para poder triunfar como sistema operativo para dispositivos móviles es contar con una tienda virtual que cope las necesidades de apps de los usuarios y les permita acceder a esos servicios y redes sociales tan populares y que están disponibles en las otras dos tiendas virtuales más conocidas como son Google Play Store y App Store.

Hoy tenemos la incursión de una nueva aplicación como servicio que dispone de dos millones de usuarios que acceden a myAppFree para conseguir las mejores apps de pago en Android. myAppFree es un buscador de aplicaciones muy popular en Windows Phone. Los desarrolladores de esta aplicación están trabajando mano a mano con otros desarrolladores de otras apps y videojuegos para proveer de rebajas especiales y buscar nuevas ofertas en la Google Play Store. Una gran idea que llega desde Windows Phone para aterrizar de la mejor de las maneras en Android y así disponer de ofertas increíbles a aquellos usuarios que todavía busquen esa nueva app que le ofrezca mejores experiencias de uso.

Dos millones de usuarios

Esos 2 millones de usuarios son un gran reclamo para que, cada 24 horas, una nueva app sea seleccionada y ofrecida gratuitamente a los mismos, aparte de informar sobre otras ofertas y promociones. Aquí es donde entra el trabajo de dos integrantes del equipo de myAppFree que cada día se encargan de ponerse en contacto con el desarrollador de la app elegida para ofertarla de forma gratuita durante 24 horas. Los 2 millones de usuarios que tiene la app sirven como una golosina muy dulce para encandilar a esos desarrolladores que sabrán que miles de usuarios estarán probando las virtudes y bondades de su app.

myAppFree

Aparte de esta promoción gratuita de apps de pago, myAppFree también ofrece descuentos en contenido de pago dentro de la aplicación, niveles desbloqueados y versiones pro o premium en apps con el modelo de negocio freemium. Así que, si tienes un poco de paciencia, puedes llegar a acceder a esa app con versión premium que se te sale del presupuesto y que, en algún momento o día, podría pasar por la app gratis del día o tener esa serie de descuentos para desbloquear esas características que te vendrían como anillo al dedo.

Una muy interesante apuesta

La app también tiene opción para iniciar sesión y la sección de perfil de la app te ofrecerá una lista especial de apps basada en tus propios intereses. Digamos que myAppFree es un puente entre los usuarios y los desarrolladores.

Si por lo que fuera eres un desarrollador y te gustaría participar en su programa, lánzales tu app en anna@myappfree.com. Lo más seguro que si eres elegido tengas una gran cantidad de nuevos usuarios probando la calidad que tenga tu app. Un servicio que, debido a la afluencia de nuevas apps diariamente, se dispone como una buena lanzadera para que ciertos desarrolladores sean capaces de salir de esa neblina que la conforma los miles de apps que se encuentran en Android y que de la cual es bastante difícil sobresalir.

myAppFree

myAppFree tiene una interfaz intuitiva y agradable para sacarle todo el provecho al servicio y así acceder a las mejores ofertas. También dispone de notificaciones push para acceder a la app gratuita del día. Y, en definitiva, es una plataforma que ahorra dinero y que no hay ninguna razón por la que no debamos recomendarla.

Cuando hace poco conocimos la llegada de Amazon Underground con apps y videojuegos de pago totalmente gratuitos, ahora tenemos otra gran alternativa para conocer las mejores apps, por lo que no faltes a la cita ante myAppFree, un servicio o plataforma que te encandilará con su forma de presentar nuevas apps todos los días para tener el mejor software instalado en tu smartphone Android.

TYLT ENERGI 6K charger/power bank review

Posted on by

Power banks are fantastic accessories to keep around for emergencies. Whether you’re abroad or just want to avoid missing a Snapchat, having some form of communication always available is important. So instead of carrying around a charger and a separate power bank, why not carry both in one device?

Overview

Price: $69.99-89.99
Capacity: 6,000 mAh
Plugs: US built in, +$10 include UK and Europe adapters
Where to buy: TYLT

Not only is the TYLT ENERGI 6K is unique in that it’s both a charger and a power bank, it also features both a built-in cable and an extra USB port. This allows you to charge your device with no additional cables and then charge a second device using a USB cable.

The main draw of this accessory is its travel readiness. You bring it along, charge your device or two at night, and it’ll charge the internal battery after your devices are fully charged. In the morning, unplug it and bring it along with you as a 6,000mAh power bank to top off your devices if they die.

For travel, the TYLT ENERGI comes with a US flip out plug that folds flush and out of the way. There’s also a model that includes both UK and European adapters for international travel for an extra $10, which is a really nice touch.

In terms of charging, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a standard charger. It can output a total of 2.4 amps, which is fast but not Quick Charge fast.

The short built-in microUSB cable is a fantastic way to charge your device on the go. Plug it in, toss it into a bag, and it’ll charge without messy long wires. When not in use, the wire folds into a gap on the side of the charger. Despite this, the unit remains fairly compact.

TYLT ENERGI 6K 2

If you’re interested in the TYLT ENERGI, hit the link above to check it out. For you iPhone users, there’s also a version with a Lightning cable for $10 more. I think the TYLT ENERGI is an invaluable travel companion, and though the price is high (TYLT makes expensive, but well-built, products), it’s creative and useful. You can get power banks for much cheaper, but I quite like this one for its design and features.
