http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9d809476e11c46e10d5afd242b3da3a1.jpgSamsung’s Galaxy Note 7 is definitely a head turner. Praised in reviews, the phone is one of Samsung’s finest creations, showing that the company learned a lot from its past mistakes and successes. However, the Galaxy Note 7 is not issue-free, and there already are several design concerns out there that you should know about, regardless of whether you’ve bought the phone already, or you’re thinking to get one.

Xiaomi wants to tackle the US market “in the near future”
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies
- 29 views
We might finally see Xiaomi take a legitimate stab at the US market, according to Hugo Barra. He’s talked about the US smartphone market before, citing that subsidized flagship phones make it very difficult for a mid-range brand like Xiaomi to compete. It’s a sensible reason, but with the rise of device payment plans and […] Come comment on this article: Xiaomi wants to tackle the US market “in the near future” Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/25e77438fa03d261b6e809a900ffb630._.gif News via TalkAndroid

Lyft approached Google and Apple for a buyout, but no one placed a bid
by Guest Justin Herrick- 0 replies

Now that General Motors decided not to take over the company, Lyft is continuing to shop itself around for a buyout. There’s still trouble for the ride-sharing service, though, as none of the expected potential buyers submitted offers of their own. Lyft went knocking on every buyer’s door on the West Coast and no one […] Come comment on this article: Lyft approached Google and Apple for a buyout, but no one placed a bid Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/bc4b38a03d93e49f03cb1007a7f21021._.gif News via TalkAndroid

Samsung reported to begin selling refurbished smartphones in 2017
by Guest Peter Holden- 0 replies
- 27 views
Samsung makes a lot of profit from its mobile division selling its high-end Galaxy S and Galaxy Note phones, as well as a confusing smörgåsbord of lesser devices, which has led to the company being criticized over its scatter-gun approach to developing handsets. So how does the Korean electronics giant come up with a new […] Come comment on this article: Samsung reported to begin selling refurbished smartphones in 2017 Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c5a0cd01986f8cb4554599b9ea04c1a6._.gif News via TalkAndroid

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4f7516f02b51c7a58eb2c0b5b9cdd488.jpgAs Apple's interest in the automotive world increases, it perhaps should come as no surprise that the company earlier this year held talks with Lyft to discuss the prospect of an all-out acquisition. According to a report in The New York Times, Lyft in recent months has been increasingly pro-active about sitting down with potential buyers as the company contemplates the future of its popular ridesharing service.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a5878a1d556fa98705f8e13c05665dbd.jpgThere are a myriad of lenses through which one can view and judge a film, from the dialogue or action all the way down to its cinematography. But one aspect of film that isn't often evaluated or paid much attention to is structure. While we may not overtly think about the varying structures that underly different movies, we're certainly cognizant of them. To wit, one of the reasons why people remain so enamored with films like Pulp Fiction and Memento is precisely because they take advantage of extremely unique structures in order to relay the story to viewers.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a8ae89c3f09529999928aca956355f56.jpg Apple's iPhones and flagship Android phones from rival smartphone makers feature cameras that are positively remarkable. They capture photos in stunning clarity that are impossible to tell apart from images snapped with a dedicated camera. Of course, there's only so much you can do in such a thin device, so smartphone cameras don't have zoom capabilities like dedicated cameras do. At least, that's typically the case. Check out the Apexel 12x Manual Focus Telephoto Camera Lens Kit with Mini Tripod, which adds a 12x zoom lens with manual focus to just about any smartphone in the world. (…

There’s absolutely no doubt about it. It’s enough to see one episode to want more, and thankfully, you can proceed to the next one immediately. This 80s thriller debuted just recently on July 15th, but it became an instant hit with subscribers.

Re-carrier: Trickery is T-Mobile’s strategy with the not-so-unlimited One plan
by Guest Justin Herrick- 0 replies
- 32 views
Since May 2013, T-Mobile has prided itself on being the revolutionary carrier the wireless industry in the United States needed. That’s why this carrier started positioning itself as the Un-carrier, creating separation from juggernauts and thus a positive image with consumers.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/fda0e37dd2e4026e011497009bc85c08.jpegI've seen Tomorrowland, so I know that the future is supposed to be full of flying cars and jetpacks. Elon Musk's version of the future is a little less fanciful -- it only involves levitating people through a partial vacuum at hundreds of miles an hour. But if this VR app that lets you try the Hyperloop experience is accurate, Musk's future won't be particularly exciting. To support its Hyperloop pod design bid, the Delft University of Technology had an ad agency make an app that explains how Hyperloop and lets users virtually try out a Hyperloop trip.

The report claims that Apple in recent weeks sought to convince component manufacturers to reduce their quotes for iPhone parts by 20%. Apple has historically been able to wield quite a bit of power when it comes to securing favorable contract terms, but with iPhone sales currently on the decline, Apple has clearly lost a bit of its negotiating power. Generally, Apple is able to get some of the best deals on components because suppliers can make…

In a statement posted to the game's blog, the development team confirmed that it will "continue to terminate accounts that show clear signs of cheating." It's an open-ended statement that doesn't specify exactly what the company consider cheating, how it weeds people out, and what the appeals process (if any) is for accounts falsely flagged.
