Madfinger’s Dead Trigger, a zombie survival horror game for mobile devices, was a big hit on Android for a couple of reasons: one, the Tegra 3 edition was graphically impressive, and two, Madfinger decided to drop the title’s price from $1 to free. With Dead Trigger 2, the company’s looking to capitalize on the success of the first game by again (1) releasing a version of Dead Trigger 2 exclusively for new Tegra 4 devices, and by (2) making the game available for free.
When you think about it, it’s kind of weird why tablets have cameras. It’s not as convenient to use as a cellphone or a dedicated digital camera, nor is the quality any more astounding. And picking up a tablet to take pictures is just plain, well, awkward.
But there are great ways you can use the camera on your tablet, some of which aren’t what you would usually expect. So make the most out that camera (you paid for it after all) by using a few apps that take advantage of it.

Official details are sketchy for now, but from the high level look that LG provided to us, the X Power looks like the most interesting device in the batch. As the name suggests, the X Power’s big selling point is its 4,100-mAh battery.

From an older leak, we know that the LG X Power will feature a 720p screen, a MediaTek MT6735 processor equipped with Pump Express Plus fast charging, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and 13MP and 8MP cameras.

The only caveat is that these devices are in “open box” condition.
