http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7f929a9aae5cc3813131a3df5b16b039.jpgWhile a whole bunch of Google services saw updates at Google I/O, Maps was almost entirely left out in the cold. But according to code inside the latest version of Google Maps for Android, some significant new features are on the way. The folks at XDA Developers have dug through the latest APK for Android, and found some clues to upcoming features including two that we've been waiting for: live ETA sharing and destination shortcuts. There's also a third new feature incoming, and it's slightly creepy. (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7027266bbedee1ed1ce1dee964eac039._.gif …

Sony’s Xperia X smartphones coming to the US this summer

It looks like Sony will be breaking away from carriers for its latest family of devices, as the company will be launching unlocked variants of the Xperia X Performance, Xperia X, Xperia XA, and Xperia XA Ultra in the US this summer. This is definitely a strange move from Sony, but probably the best way to sell its […] Come comment on this article: Sony’s Xperia X smartphones coming to the US this summer Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/fd72698d5b55426550fb1c2876ecce80._.gif News via TalkAndroid

Here’s the exciting trailer for next week’s ‘Game of Thrones’

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/5ae0c50ea6431bf0ec857881ede445c6.jpgHodor is gone, but we hardly have any time to mourn losses on Game of Thrones. The show is moving at a very fast pace, as there are plenty of converging subplots to follow — that’s why not all our favorite characters get screen time in every episode. There’s simply no room to expand on all the story lines in just under 60 minutes, but the closer we get to the end of the sixth season, the more action we’re bound to see. Without spoiling last night’s episode for you, we can tell you that war is looming in the Seven Kingdoms. At least that’s what the fresh trailer of episode seven, due to air on …

The craziest new Android flagship you’ve ever seen does the one thing the iPhone 7 can’t

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/356b98cc130dd12ae559009fb3d429a0.jpgThere’s no question about it, Samsung’s Galaxy S7 is one of the best Android phones money can buy this year. But Asus has come up with a phone that’s not only cheaper than Samsung’s newest flagship, it also packs crazy hardware and specs that should offer an amazing performance. The new Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe has specs so impressive that it could easily power up an ultraportable laptop. We’re looking at 6GB of RAM and up to 256GB of built-in storage – and before you ask, yes, it's the same kind of speedy flash memory that’s found inside Samsung’s Galaxy S7. And yes, you can further expand it vi…

This iPhone battery case has way more capacity than Apple’s for one-third the price
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 20 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a002c74380f63ade726bfd7ee7a397a2.jpg Apple's own iPhone battery case is an acquired taste, as you can see in the photo at the top of this post. The problem is that some people will never acquire that taste. And on top of its odd look, the case is also very pricey at $100, plus it has a small battery compared to other options out there. Speaking of other options, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s owners in search of a new battery case should check out the iXCC 3100mah External Battery Backup Charging Case for Apple iPhone 6/6s, which is one-third the price of Apple's battery case with 65% more capacity.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/66fa13d0de46b3a30090010e651de796.jpgIt’s not just the iPhone that Apple's rivals try to beat by copying. Apple also sets design standards for laptops, and everyone else is trying to come up with devices that feature MacBook-grade build quality and design. Asus is the latest company to come up with a Retina MacBook killer, the brand new ZenBook 3. The device is clearly meant to compete against the 12-inch MacBook and the MacBook Air family, as the two devices were even mentioned on stage during Asus’s recent keynote.

Sony has finally launched the Xperia X and XA in India, with the latter being the company’s mid-range option for consumers.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/b6328ad4ef8f02157fb91698eae5ad18.jpgMany people criticize Apple's voice-based assistant since Siri tends to run into problems on the iPhone and other devices. Some even worry that Apple might have a tough time combating Google’s artificial intelligence, and even potentially face a fate similar to BlackBerry in the event that its AI can’t compete. But it turns out that Apple is working on an advanced AI product of its own, which could be unveiled in the very near future.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2b1d79c8d8b5e6e52366c1a377a50803.jpgIn a somewhat bizarre story which proves that truth is often stranger than fiction, a serial mugger in England was arrested after one of his victims spotted him under Facebook's "People you may know" section. Originally reported by the BBC, 21-year old Omar Famuyide had a long history of theft, muggings and armed robberies to his name. Not too long ago, Famuyide brandished a knife and stole a car. Flash forward a bit, and the victim of said car robbery was recently shocked to see Famuyide's face pop up as a suggested friend he might want to add on Facebook. (more…)http://androidforum.us/da…

In fact, the surprising success of the Echo has created a whirlwind of competition in the smart-home space: Google recently unveiled Google Home and now there are rumors that Apple is planning to release its own stand-alone Echo competitor.

So much so that if you leave your PC to its own devices for too long, you might come back and find that Cortana has settled in and made itself at home.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/01816fbf820c83ddf59e620e9c1bbbd3.jpgDesktop computers have never been more affordable than they are right now. You can get a surprisingly capable machine for cheaper than ever before, and prices will likely continue to fall in the coming months and years. But if you need a truly powerful PC for gaming or hardcore computing, the price will never be the first concern. You need lightning-fast processors, tons of RAM and storage, and top-of-the-line graphics cards that can feed multiple displays. Lucky for you, Amazon has a killer sale going right now on two different cutting-edge PCs with more power than most people would know what…
