There are a lot of ethical problems within the smartphone industry. Labor exploitation, questionable methods of extracting precious metals, e-waste, carbon footprints — the list goes on and on. Obviously, no one smartphone is going to change all that, but the Teracube 2e is here to do what it can.
In a nutshell, the newest Teracube phone is a budget Android device with a focus on sustainability.
The Moto Z3 and the Moto Z3 Play are the latest high-end and mid-range devices from Motorola. The former brings the promise of future 5G speeds, while the latter is the first of the Play series to feature a dual rear camera setup. While its specifications and features are groundbreaking, the true value of these devices lies in Moto Mods.
There isn’t much of a difference between the two, with the major one being that while the Moto Z3 is powered by the Snapdragon 845 processor, the Moto Z3 Play comes with a Snapdragon 636.

Digital entertainment network Fandango acquired VOD company Vudu last year. Fandango is folding its FandangoNOW library into Vudu to host a single VOD and streaming service. The new Vudu, home to over 20,000, will be the official movie and TV store on Roku. Fandango is uniting its streaming and VOD libraries into one entertainment platform, folding FandangoNOW into Vudu to create a single destination for all its VOD and streaming content.
What is Google Now? There’s some confusion out there in the Android world. Google Now is not Android’s “Siri killer”, that’s Voice Search (which you can get to and use from within Google Now). Google Now is much, much more than an application that listens to queries and spits out answers. I’m not even sure we can call Google Now a virtual assistant either. Google Now is about automating your life and in return, making your life easier.
OnePlus has always been at the forefront of fast charging solutions for smartphones. It started with Dash charging on the OnePlus 3 and moved up to Warp Charge 30T on the OnePlus 7T. As OnePlus boosts charging speeds (not charging power), battery drain remains an issue of concern. This is why the company has introduced a new feature called Optimized Charging.
When you put your phone on charge before going to bed, Optimized Charging will ensure the battery charges to 80% initially.
If there was no Galaxy S9e and there likely won’t be a Galaxy S20e, what does that make the Samsung Galaxy S10e? We can only conclude that the Galaxy S10e was a one-off experiment from Samsung, a quick test of the waters to see if offering a slightly less-expensive variant of its flagship phones would be a hit. Judging from the prevalent rumors that there won’t be a Galaxy S20e, it appears that the experiment failed.
Google’s new Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL offer a lot of features but as with any new smartphone, it’s not without its issues. Complaints of a less vibrant display than the previous generation Pixel have prompted Google to state that it may add more color options for users in a future update. The company said it targeted a more neutral and realistic panel this time around, rather than the heavy saturation usually associated with OLED displays.
