LeEco held a massive event in Beijing, China, to make few new product announcements. They touched upon a lot of different topics, including television sets and a particularly ambitious project involving making an electric car in cooperation with Aston Martin. However, the meat and potatoes of the event were the three new phones being launched, the Le 2, the Le 2 Pro, and the Le Max 2. The 2 in the name makes it clear that these are successors to LeEco’s current line of smartphones, the Le 1s, and the Le Max. As such, they aren’t dramatically different and represent a spec refresh for…

The alternative (and still sort of experimental) Gmail interface known as Inbox is receiving a new update today. This one improves the handling of events and newsletters, and lets you save links inside Inbox – for reading later, presumably. The latter functionality can be achieved on a computer too, by using the new Inbox by Gmail Chrome extension, which basically does the same thing as the Google Keep Chrome extension we’ve discussed earlier – both save links, they just do it on different Google services. On a mobile device, just share the website you’re interested in to Inbox, and…
