There was a lot of head scratching when Lenovo decided to take Motorola off Google's hands, especially since the iconic phone manufacturer had become a complete financial albatross. However, one year later the deal is starting to look much better and Lenovo because its newest smartphones have sold much better than expected in China.
"We have just lab tested an important new sapphire technology that significantly lowers the screen reflectance of sapphire to much lower than glass, turning its former major disadvantage into a major new advantage," said Dr. Raymond Soneira, DisplayMate President. "A technical note, this isn't an Anti-Reflection AR coating, which would scratch off easily and defeat sapphire's tremendous scratch resistance - so the enhanced sapphire is now number one in scratch resistance, low reflectance and performance in high ambient light. In addition, displays using it could run with lower screen brightness and result in increased running time on battery."
We can never have it both ways. At least, that's what video games have been telling us repeatedly, especially in recent years. We have very important choices to make, and something's gotta give.
But that's not the case in Life is Strange .
How much are the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus absolutely crushing it right now? So much that Digitimes' supply-chain sources say the devices are expected to help Apple sell 50 million more iPhones this quarter, a year-over-year increase of 14.4% from the 43.7 million units sold in the same quarter in 2014.
Even with nearly a decade of experience under our belt, we still haven't perfected touchscreen controls on our iPhones. There are some games that handle the touch-based control scheme better than others, but it's always a shame to cover up a portion of the screen with our smudgy fingers.
That's why it might finally be time to pick up a Bluetooth controller.
While smartphones and tablets might be helpful when it comes to keeping your kids entertained or teaching them various skills, you may want to hold off on letting your kids use them until they're at least 30 months old. The Guardian , citing Boston University School of Medicine researchers who talked to the Pediatrics journal, says that use of smartphones and tablets at that age might have significant adverse effects.
Android may have expanded and taken the lead in traffic, but iOS retained its solid lead for revenue generation and monetization. Apple’s tenacious grip on revenue generation is driven to a large extent by its favorable market position in western markets, such as the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom. In these markets, rich media and video advertising are more common and the high volume of mobile application usage (vs. mobile browsing) drives a robust user acquisition market.
Lenovo’s decision to buy Motorola is actually starting to make sense
