There’s a certain charm to hidden games. From the flight simulator hidden in Microsoft Excel to the chess game Facebook tucked away into Messenger, there’s just something extra fun about tapping into a game that’s secreted away into somewhere it doesn’t belong. To followup their chess game, Facebook Messenger has hidden a new game in the popular chat service in honor of March Madness. It’s a basketball game, and here we’ll be telling you how to get into the action.
5G connectivity is expected to grow massively in 2020, as most flagship phones will offer the feature as well as some mid-range devices with the right chipset.
We’ve seen a range of companies announce plans to offer 5G in 2020, and HTC has joined the party in announcing its plans for a 5G phone.
Company president Yves Maitre announced the news in an interview with UDN (h/t: XDA), but the sad truth is that this will likely do little to change the firm’s precarious situation.
TL;DR
The Lenovo Mirage Solo is a standalone VR headset that supports Google Daydream VR. The Lenovo Mirage Camera is a point-and-shoot, 180-degree image and video camera. The Solo starts at $399, the Camera at $299, and there’s a bundle deal right now for both at $649. Hot on the heels of the release of the Oculus Go – the first standalone VR headset from the Facebook-owned company – comes another standalone headset, this time from Lenovo.

Just under a year ago, we told you which phones we were using as our daily drivers. The results showed that Samsung was the most popular brand among Android Authority staff, with Google in a relatively close second position.
We’re almost due for a 2021 edition of this poll, but it got us wondering about the phone brands that Android Authority readers are using at the moment.
As expected, Toshiba has now taken the veil off its very first Chromebook, simply named the Toshiba Chromebook.
The Toshiba Chromebook has the distinction of being the first Chrome OS device with a 13.3-inch display, but otherwise is spec’d pretty similar to other Intel-based Chrome OS-powered devices with a Haswell-series Celeron 2955U CPU and 2GB of RAM.
The device’s resolution is fairly standard for these types of devices, at 1366 x 768 and a weight of roughly 3 pounds.
The Galaxy Ace Plus GT-S7500 is an awesome mid-level smartphone complete with a 1 GHz processor and 3.65-inch touchscreen. Out of the box, the device runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread but can later be upgraded to higher versions of Gingerbread.
The latest update for the Samsung Galaxy Ace comes in the form of build DDLB1 for Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread. This update promises a new set of features and fixes for issues such as the one involving Wi-Fi, in which many users have a hard time connecting to their home networks.
We’re back with the Weekly Plan Spotlight, and this week we’re seeing a pretty attractive offer from MINT SIM. If you sign up as a new customer, you’ll get 3 months of free service after paying for the first 3 months. This works on their 2GB, 5GB, and 10GB plans. I am intrigued. What are the details?I’ll tell you, inquisitive reader. This offer is only for new customers, but you can keep your old phone number and phone.
Isn’t it amazing how a simple concept such as additional tabs in your web browser can do so much to your internet browsing experience? This is especially true if you are more of a multitasker and prefer to do a number of things all at once.
Back then, browsing different websites on the internet was a hassle since you have to do it in separate windows. However, over the years, we have seen vast improvements on today’s web browsers.
An issue the suit will likely face is that Google never actually claims that there’s no tracking in Incognito mode. In fact, Google’s Incognito mode support page reads, “Your activity isn’t hidden from websites you visit, your employer or school, or your internet service provider.” There’s an entire page that breaks it all down, and it makes it quite clear web service, website, search engine, or provider may be able to see personal information, which means this class action may be in for a tough fight.
Taking an HDR photo used to be something that required ample knowledge of photography and a long process. Now smartphones are taking dynamic range to a whole new level on-the-go. Still, I must say I have yet to see photos that really achieve what an actual DSLR camera and the manual HDR process can output. Lightroom Mobile claims to be doing the real deal with the latest update (or at least as real as it can get on a smartphone).
