Sony is going to make Xperia phones great again! If there is anything I like about Sony Xperia phones, it would have to be the hardware specs. I mean, Sony always gets it right with the hardware; they tick all the right boxes featuring the best processor, standard gigs of RAM, and a great camera. However, they’ve always sucked when it comes to the design of their flagship smartphones, or pretty much any phones they’ve made so far. There’s always this giant bezel up and below the display which makes them look like they’re from a bygone era. The design…
The final build of Android 8.0 Oreo has started rolling out to LG V30 devices. LG’s V30 may not be as successful as Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 when it comes to sales, but the former has already started receiving the latest Android 8.0 Oreo update while the latter still runs outdated Android Nougat OS. The new update for the LG V30 smartphones is pretty huge at 1412MB and brings all the Android Oreo goodies to the table. This, of course, includes Picture-in-Picture mode, new emojis, notification dots, cooler-looking icons, and more. Related: LG V30 vs LG V30 Plus That’s not…

Because TubeMate is not for everyone. For those on the lookout for the best alternative to TubeMate, you gotta check out this app called KeepVid. To be honest, I’ve been using their web service for quite some time now, and I’ve liked it for the most part. However, if are looking for an app for your Android phone so that you can download your favorite videos from pretty much any video streaming service, you’re probably gonna love the KeepVid Android app. The best part of this app is that it not only lets you download videos from YouTube, but also…
OnePlus 5 users just got the best Christmas gift. OnePlus founder, Carl Pei, just confirmed, in a tweet, that OnePlus 5 will get the Face Unlock feature that we previously thought was an exclusive for the new 5T handset. Carl Pei’s tweet goes: “Due to popular demand, Face Unlock is coming for the OnePlus 5. Thanks for the feedback, and Merry Christmas!”.

What a bummer! But don’t you worry; there’s an easy fix! When it comes to downloading YouTube videos on your Android phone or tablet, it could be said without a speck of doubt that there is no other app that comes even an inch close to TubeMate. It’s just the best video downloader app that we have for Android. Period. However, it’s not all roses and sunshine for the TubeMate users as they are facing a new error — “Unable to Download Videos on TubeMate” — making it impossible for them to download videos from their favorite video streaming sites.…
I don’t usually watch the show, but boy, that commercial gave me good laughs. Still don’t get Bitcoin even after reading those 1000 or 2000-words “step-by-step guide for beginners”? Well then, you gotta watch this clip from Thursday night’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers. The highlight of the episode is a parody advertisement — Bitcoin Commercial: What Is It and How Does It Work? — in which a woman teaches two of her friends what a bitcoin is and how they could put their retirement savings to good use by investing in Bitcoins. I mean, the video is…
