The inclusion of the A13 Bionic processor in the iPhone SE has caused Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, to boast: “It’s an unbelievable offer. It’s, if you will, the engine of our top phones in a very affordable package. And it’s faster than the fastest Android phones. And so it’s an exceptional value.” This specific iPhone is full of contradictions. It is an iPhone, yet it is priced like a mid-range Android device.

TL;DR Motorola has quietly announced the Moto 1S in China. The Moto 1S is the Chinese version of the Moto G6 that includes a handful of differences. The Moto 1S is available in China for around the same price as the Moto G6. When Motorola announced availability for the Moto G6, China was notably absent from the list of countries. We finally found out why, as Motorola announced the Moto 1S in China.

TL;DR Google Photos is gaining a few more memory-related features. This includes a so-called Little Patterns feature and memories based on more events. For starters, the company has announced a so-called Little Patterns feature for Memories. This essentially groups visually similar photos together and makes a collection out of them. “Starting later this summer, when we find a set of three or more photos that share things like shape or color, we’ll highlight these little patterns for you in your Memories,” the company explained in a blog post, while giving the example of someone wearing the same backpack over the years.

If you’re a Pokemon Go player, you’re no doubt paying sharp attention to the CP number associated with every Pokemon you catch. While combat in the game is still evolving, brute force has emerged as a more important aspect of engagement than type differences. Speed is important as well, but CP ratings are a pretty fair indicator as to which Pokemon will come out on top in an engagement. But which Pokemon are currently the most powerful?

Its camera was underwhelming even when it wasn’t crashing. It was out of battery in less than the time it takes to eat an ice cream. I’ve never seen a smartphone display crack so easily… And yet, it’s probably one of the most well-liked Android phones to ever hit the market. It’s strange thinking about the Nexus 5 now because on paper it made a number of missteps. I mean, I can’t remember many other well-regarded smartphones that underperformed both in battery and camera quality at their price point.
