Best Apps and Games of the Week

Posted on by

These are some of the best apps and games that came out this week.

1Password

1Password for Android received a major update with version 6. The app now has a complete redesign with full support for Google’s Material Design. It also supports fingerprint sensor on devices running Marshmallow, which means you can now lock the app with your fingerprint. It also now includes teams feature, so you can share your passwords with a group of people.

iOS • Android

Launchify

Launchify is an app shortcut app that places a tray of apps on your lockscreen so you can quickly launch the apps from the lockscreen itself. It can also place them in the notification menu, so you are a swipe and a tap away from your favorite apps. It can also learn from your usage and change the shortcuts to your most used apps.

Android

Infltr

Infltr’s claim to fame is infinite filters. Instead of having present filters for your images, the app lets you move your thumb around on the image and it smoothly adjusts the colors to give practically infinite options for you to choose from. Apart from having countless filters, the app is also easier to use than thumbing through multiple presets. Only drawback could be no way to jump to one particular favorite color filter as in most apps.

iOS

Alto’s Adventure

Popular iOS game Alto’s Adventure is now on Android. The game is a side scrolling endless runner of sorts, where you are skiing down a slope, collecting llamas, avoiding rocks, and jumping off cliffs doing sick backflips. The game is beautiful to look, simple enough to play, and quite addictive. Also, completely free on Android.

iOS • Android

GTA: Liberty City Stories

Yet another GTA game has made its way to the mobile platform. Well, to Android actually, as the game has been on iOS for some time now. The mobile version features shortened missions but other than that it’s the same game that came out on the PSP back in 2005. If you’re a fan of GTA and want to relive some of the old school action then give this one a try.

iOS • Android

Bombing Bastards

Previously released for the consoles and the PC, Bombing Bastards is an arcade game that should be familiar to anyone who played Bomberman growing up. The game is identical to the console version and has now been optimized for the touchscreen. It has 30 levels across 5 worlds with plenty of enemies to blow up including 5 boss battle levels.

Los Samsung Galaxy S7 y S7 Edge filtrados de nuevo, esta vez vemos la gama de colores

Posted on by

Samsung destacada

A menos de una semana y media de su presentación, ¿queda ya algo por saber de la nueva generación de buques insignia de Samsung? Sí, todavía queda bastante. Y es que, hasta el momento no existía confirmación o filtraciones acerca de los colores en los que estarán disponibles los smartphones de la coreana.

Y es que, aunque las últimas semanas han sido un torrente casi interminable de rumores y filtraciones del próximo Galaxy S7, hasta ahora no sabíamos mucho acerca de la gama de colores en la que se podrá adquirir el terminal. Hace unas horas, el famoso soplón @evleaks ha filtrado en Twitter renders que se asemejan sobremanera a imágenes publicitarias reales.

En estas imágenes hemos podido apreciar el flagship de Samsung con su ya conocido y atractivo diseño curvilíneo. Sin embargo, la sorpresa ha llegado cuando nos hemos percatado que en las imágenes aparecían dos variantes: en negro y dorado/oro. Si hacemos caso a las fuentes de @evleaks, parece que, al menos de manera inicial, el Galaxy S7 sólo estará disponible en dos colores.

galaxy-s7-renders

Si nos fijamos en los renders, podemos apreciar que la trasera del terminal está curvada, lo que nos recuerda bastante al diseño del Galaxy Note 5. En cualquier caso, resulta muy extraño que el Galaxy S7 esté disponible sólo en dos variantes de color, aunque la estrategia puede tener como objetivo verter más atención sobre el Galaxy S7 Edge, el cual también ha sido filtrado en detalle.

En cuanto al Galaxy S7 Edge, en esta variante podemos ver la inclusión de un nuevo color, el gris/plateado. En términos estéticos, esta variante del buque insignia de los coreanos aparenta ser bastante más grande que su hermano sin pantalla curva. Ésto concordaría con las recientes filtraciones que apuntaban hacia un S7 Edge con panel QHD Super AMOLED de 5,5 pulgadas, en lugar de las 5,2 pulgadas de su hermano menor.

Galaxy S7 Edge variantes color

Si, finalmente, estos son los colores en los que estarán disponibles estos dispositivos, más de un fan de Samsung termianrá muy decepcionado. Y es que, las variantes disponibles no son malas opciones, sin embargo sí se agradecería un modelo con el atractivo color turquesa que a tantos usuarios enamoró.

¿Qué te parecen los colores en los que estará disponible el Galaxy S7 y S7 Edge?

Why ‘Deadpool’ May Not Open Many Doors For R-Rated Comic Book Movies

Posted on by

It’s been somewhat obvious since Thursday night, but in the days that followed, Deadpool has proven itself to be a monster hit beyond anyone’s wildest predications. The Marvel Comics/20th Century Fox film has broken records for the biggest Thursday night, Friday, 3-day weekend and 4-day weekend for any R-rated movie, leaving competitors like The Matrix Reloaded and 50 Shades of Grey in the dust, making $150M since its debut.

MWC 2016 rumor roundup – Galaxy S7, LG G5 and the rest

Posted on by

MWC 2016 is now merely days away and excitement is in the air. However, with the constant influx of rumors, leaks and speculations, it is somewhat hard to keep track of everything. To address this situation, here is our take on a concise rundown of what each manufacturer allegedly has in store.

Samsung

We kick things off with the big guns. The Korean giant is due for an upgrade to its flagship line and it will come in the form of the Galaxy S7 family. As of writing this article, we have solid evidence that at least a basic Galaxy S7 and a curved Galaxy S7 edge will be announced.

The former is said to come with a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display, while the latter will probably be slightly bigger at 5.5 inches. We have also heard rumors of a bigger still 6-inch model that will be offered in both a flat and edge variant as well – a sort of successor the the Galaxy S6 edge+, but it might come at a later point in time.

The rest of the Galaxy S7 specs include Samsung’s own Exynos 8890 chipset or the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, depending on which version you go for and performance differences are expected. RAM is set at 4GB with 32GB or 64GB of onboard storage. As for the camera, the main shooter will probably use the new Samsung BRITECELL sensor with a resolution of 12MP and a large 1/2″ size.

The camera module is also expected to protrude just 0.8 mm from the back of the phone. To wrap things up, industry sources have suggested waterproofing on the Galaxy S7, bigger 3,000 mAh and 3,600 mAh batteries for the S7 and S7 edge, respectively, as well as an Always On display.

Finishing up with Samsung, there is the distinct possibility that a new Galaxy Tab S3 line will be unveiled at MWC. It should consist of a smaller 8-inch and a 9.7-inch members. As for specs, both should run on a new Snapdragon 652 SoC, with four Cortex-A72 and four Cortex-A53 cores, with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The resolution will be 2,048 x 1,536 pixels and 150 Mbps LTE will be an option.

LG

LG is also expected to update its flagship offer at MWC 2016, which, introducing the G5. Unlike with previous generations, this time around, the OEM is likely to mix things up quite a bit with a brand new design. If rumors are to be believed, this entails removing the power button and volume rockers from the back of the phone in order to shave some girth and placing them on the sides. Another interesting concept that has been tossed around is a removable bottom segment on the phone that reveals a sliding out user-removable battery.

As for specs, a leaked Geekbench test hints at a Snapdragon 820 SoC, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage with a microSD card slot. The phone is said to be equipped with a 5.6-inch QHD display with an Always On feature. A small secondary display, like the one on the LG V10 is also a possibility. As for the camera, we are currently expecting a dual sensor setup on the back (16MP + 8MP) along with two LED’s.

Xiaomi

The Chinese OEM doesn’t have a history of announcing devices at MWC, so we don’t expect anything different this time around either. However, the Xiaomi Mi 5 is expected to debut on February 24 and rumors suggest that the device will still be present at the venue, despite the lack of a formal event. This hopefully means that we will get a chance for a first hands-on experience as there is actually quite a bit to be excited about.

The Xiaomi Mi5 is still shrouded in a lot of mystery, mainly concerning all its alleged variants. Some sources claim that a 1080p version with 2.5D glass will exist alongside a flat QHD variant, also with some differences in memory – 3GB RAM + 32GB storage and 4GB RAM + 64GB. As for display size, most agree on 5.2 inches.

Under the hood, we expect a Snapdragon 820 SoC and a 3,600 mAh battery pack. The main camera is said to be a 16MP one and a 13MP shooter on the front. Another extra is the fingerprint reader in the home button on the front.

Sony

Last year, Sony decided to skip on a formal event at MWC, but this year, the Japanese giant has scheduled something for February 22. Sadly, not much is known about what devices might be present there. An Xperia Z5 Tablet seems possible and we will likely see the Xperia C6 Ultra. A flagship smartphone is still a few months away, it seems.

HTC
