Here's what causes a smartphone camera's photos to come out blurry
3/29/2015 5:20:00 PM

Smartphone cameras have evolved tremendously over the years, as we've said countless times. That's why point-and-shoot cameras are closer to their state of obsolescence than they've ever been.

Mobile ads are the perfect example of a necessary evil. They are distracting and suck extra battery juice, but they also provide revenue for the developer behind the app. 


Some apps and games, however, go way too far with the number of advertisements they show. For example, imagine that you're playing one of those repetitive, addicting games à la Flappy Bird and you get slapped with a full-screen ad after every three runs. Now these are the definition of annoying. This is why we thought we'd show you how to disable ads in Android or iPhone games and apps.

Details about the unreleased Qualcomm Snapdragon 815 have been leaked by a source and published in a new report on Sunday.

OnePlus Two rumors: Snapdragon 810 SoC, fingerprint scanner, higher price and Q3 launch
3/29/2015 2:09:00 PM

With close to one million OnePlus One units sold last year, the concept of selling a flagship phone at a lower price turned out to be a successful one. Sure, there were some bumps in the road, but OnePlus learned a lot and the OnePlus Two release should go a lot smoother. That, however, isn't expected to take place until the third quarter of the year. Meanwhile, the rumor mill is now open and the OnePlus Two is the subject of some gossiping.

The OnePlus Two is expected to come with a laser focus fingerprint identification system embedded in the home button. We should see the 64-bit Snapdragon ...

While our Chinese isn't what it used to be, we can tell you that the HTC One E9+ will indeed sport a 5.5-inch screen with resolution of 1440 x ...
