Samsung Galaxy S Light Luxury now Official

The Galaxy S Light Luxury was just announced in China packing very modest specs, the device is pretty much a "lite" variant of the Galaxy S8. The 5.8' screen from the S8 makes a return keeping the same dimensions as its bigger brother. The Light S features the same Super AMOLED panel with 1,080 x 2,220 px resolution (18.5:9). The phone has a single camera on the back - 16 MP sensor and an f/1.7 aperture. It can record 4K video at 30 fps, but OIS is absent (surprisingly). The selfie camera has an 8 MP sensor with an f/1.7 aperture. The Snapdragon 660 chipset inside the Galaxy S Light Luxury should offer similar CPU performance to the Galaxy S8's 835. It does have 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. Given the Galaxy S Light Luxury's size, it shouldn’t be a surprise that there’s a 3,000 mAh battery – the same capacity as the Galaxy S8. There’s support for fast wireless and wired charging, the latter of which goes over the USB-C port....

Gionee M7 Official Specs and Price

The Gionee M7 was unveiled recently with a really impressive design and some awesome features for a really modest price. The M7 or M2017 debuted with a really impressive display dubbed “FullVision” Screen with an aspect ratio of 18:9 and an edge-to-edge 6.01” screen with a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels. This device was launched with Amigo OS 5 based on Android 7.1 Nougat. The M7 is not a stranger to performance either as it comes equipped with the Helio P30 SoC which was unveiled by Mediatek in August. The SoC features eight Cortex-A53 cores, four high performance cores clocked at 2.3GHz and four power efficient cores clocked at 1.65GHz. This package is well paired with a 6GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage which can be expanded further to 256GB via the dedicated microSD slot. A pair of cameras grace the rear of this device, 16MP and 8MP respectively. There is also a fingerprint scanner for added security. The front of the device is devoid of any physical keys...

What you get when you Overclock the INTEL CORE i9-7980XE

You get a Byte crunching monster with clockspeeds of over 6GHz, pulling 1000 watts of power while its at it. Youtuber der8auer successfully achieved this with intel's latest processor, the Intel Core i9-7980XE (Skylake X) processor. How does one do this you might ask, well for a process the takes up that much amount of energy per time a cooling mechanism has to be in place, so essentially our overclocker submerged the processor in liquid Nitrogen, and in addition to that he applied lots of thermal paste both to the CPU and the die, This according to der8auer would prevent a loss of about 400MHz when the CPU is loaded. The result of this heist was a 18 core chip running at 6.1GHz, (all 18 of em). How fast is this??, well the Asus Predator's Intel core i7 7700k processor runs turbo at 4.2GHz and can be overclocked to just 4.5GHz, so there's that. This guy also tried overclocking the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X processor but the results of that was a lesser 5.4GHz on al...

The iPhone X full phone review and specifications

       When we talk about the iPhone series, a lot comes to mind, and one of those things is the cutting edge they build into their products, in light of this, the iPhone X (ten) is no exception and this article shows what the 1000 dollar smartphone will do for you.  Design        Alright first off, let’s talk aesthetics, Apple took quite a bit of a different approach on the iPhone X, ditching the bezels and taking out the home button (more on that in a moment). The front and back has a complete glass finish which according to Apple are supposedly the more durable on a smart phone, but you really don’t wanna test that out cause apparently a glass replacement for the back of the iPhone X costs about three times as much as the screen replacement, so do the math. The part of the smartphone that isn’t glass is made with surgical grade stainless steel which has been sealed for dust and water resistance. According to Apple the iphone X will be ...

YOU NEED A BRAIN TO SLEEP, UNLESS YOU’RE A JELLYFISH

         We have all wondered at some point in our lives why sleep is necessary. Ancient folktales probably had it that sleep was the way the gods protected us from the dangers of the night or when our spirit bodies had to go and live another life.  Our parents probably at some point in our lives told us that without sleep they’ll probably go mad from the stress we give them . While sleep is necessary for the brain to function properly while we are awake, new studies proves otherwise.      Up until now there was no animal that slept that did not have a brain. All animals that existed from the tiny Etruscan shrew to the mighty blue whale, all require sleep to function properly even if it was just for a little moment before they continued their daily lives. But from recent discoveries, it has been proven that the brain is not necessary for sleep or you have to be a jelly fish to be able to do so. The jellyfish of g...

THE US APPROVES FIRST DRUG FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER

The Food and Drug Administration in the US has approved a new drug for the treatment of leukemia. It was titled “a historic action” by the agency as this is this first cell based gene therapy to be sold in the United States. The treatment called Kymriah, is known as a “living drug” because it contains the patient’s immune cells which are used to produce a virus through genetic modification. The therapy, called chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy otherwise known as CAR-T allows the cell to be able to recognise, source and kill the cancerous cells. The drug was approved, by an FDA advisory committee, for patients suffering from a form of acute lymphoblastic leukemia prominent in children and young adult, that do not respond to standard treatment after a first line of drugs do not work. The FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb in a written statement said “We’re entering a new frontier in medical innovation with the ability to reprogram a patient’s own cells to attack a deadly canc...
