OnePlus launched its newest smartphones today: the OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 7 Pro. As expected, neither device has a headphone jack, which is — once again — a significant omission for the company with the motto of “Never Settle.” We can confirm that neither device will have a USB-C-to-3.5mm dongle in the retail box, either. The previous device from OnePlus — the OnePlus 6T — was the first phone from the company without a headphone jack.

The Google Pixel 2 is well known for its great camera; a great camera made even better by machine learning and algorithmic processing. Whenever a picture is taken, Google’s massive stash of photo data helps it figure out the most pleasing way to process the picture. This results in some really sharp images with plenty of contrast and accurate colors (despite skewing toward more saturated skin tones). The front-facing camera gets this treatment as well, which is a big deal for users who love taking selfies.

The company is reportedly set to introduce yet another mid-range smartphone series to India in the form of the Galaxy F line.

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Samsung is setting the ambitious target of seriously challenging Apple in North America this year. Even for a firm as big as Samsung, it’s a daunting task. However, it has a plan. The company aims to bolster flagship market share, expand its presence in the wearable field, and more through its “Tiger” strategy. But do you believe this is enough to take on Apple this year?

Recently, Facebook decided to take a formal stance against online sexual solicitation. To crack down on the issue, the social media giant has updated its Community Standards, effectively banning the use of certain emoji on Facebook and Instagram. To be precise, Facebook has banned the use of both the eggplant and the peach emoji when used alongside various sorts of sexual content. The updated Facebook Community Standards do not target the emoji by name but instead refers to “[commonly used] sexual emoji” as the subject in question.

Super Hexagon was created by famous game developer Terry Cavanagh. The game, funded by Cavanagh, originally launched on iOS on Aug. 31st, 2012 and later the PC on Nov. 27th, 2012.

The game is played by spinning a little triangle around to escape shapes narrowing in on the little triangle. It sound simple, but it really is not, it’s merciless.

LG will reportedly use OLED panels for its flagships starting with V30 this year News

Joe Hindy / Android Authority Instagram’s Story feature is one of the most popular on the site. It’s mostly for daily updates and stuff you wouldn’t generally post on your profile. However, many use the platform as a performance art platform and Stories get really fun on occasion. Some people do comedy bits, others make super artsy posts, and it evolved into much more than intended. That means there are actually a bunch of tools for Stories for folks who want to do more with it.
