An increasing number of customer complaints about broken modules and phone issues on the LG G5 suggest modular phones may not be as awesome as they sound. One Reddit user (via Android Authority) says he's on his fourth Cam Plus camera module. Another user said he was on his sixth G5. Common issues appear to be broken power buttons, blown out speakers, and issues with the small gap where the removable battery "chin" compartment meets the phone's upper body. I didn't notice any of those issues when I reviewed the G5 in March. I will say sometimes the G5 didn't recognize the Cam Plus module, but that was only because it wasn't clipped in tightly. The gap, however, is a design decision that affects all G5 phones. That's not a flaw, but just poor polish from LG's designers. It's possible these issues that some users are experiencing could be because of poor quality control and they merely received "lemons," but look...

In terms of pure performance, the Galaxy S8 might lag behind the iPhone 7 The pieces of the Galaxy S8 puzzle are finally coming together.  We're already pretty sure this is what Samsung's Galaxy S8 will look like when it's announced on March 29, and now we may know how fast it'll be. http://techcruzsz.blogspot.in/ SEE ALSO: New leaked photos show the full display of Samsung's Galaxy S8 http://techcruzsz.blogspot.in/ Though it shouldn't be taken as representative of the final shipping version, the first benchmarks for the Galaxy S8+ (that's the one with the larger screen) have reportedly been logged into Geekbench, a popular tool for benchmarking a device's processor and memory. http://techcruzsz.blogspot.in/ By themselves, the scores are meaningless. But when compared with the iPhone 7 Plus, Google Pixel XL and the Galaxy S7/S7 Edge/Galaxy Note 7 (RIP), we can get an idea of just how much more performance to expect (or not expect). ...

Samsung might have 'accidentally' confirmed the Galaxy S8 Plus These days, it's nearly impossible to keep rumors from spreading about the most highly anticipated smartphones — so every little move from phone makers, even (or especially) innocent mistakes, is sure to mess with the leak-hungry public's head. Sharp-eyed observers at both Forbes and SamMobile claim to have noticed a new product support page on Samsung's Indian website for a phone with the product number SM-G955FD. That number has been linked to the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, the expected large-screen version of the upcoming Galaxy S8. SEE ALSO: Samsung to make 160 million OLED panels for Apple, report claims The page is now just a broken link, and there are no screenshots, so make of that what you will. When contacted by Mashable, a Samsung rep told us that it's the company's policy to refrain from commenting on unannounced products. This wouldn't be the first time Samsun...

Yogi dressed in white powerfully defies period shame on Instagram Yoga instructor Steph Gongora did something bold this week. Dressed in white, she got onto her mat and filmed herself in various poses that revealed a red stain from her period.  Then she put the clip on Instagram, where she now has more than 258,000 followers.  By Saturday, the post had been viewed 208,000 times and elicited more than 4,400 comments, both cruel and kind. Some were disturbed by the imagery while others were inspired by Gongora's message.   Her hope, she said in the post, was to help people who menstruate feel less ashamed of a natural bodily function.  I am a woman, therefore, I bleed. . It's messy, it's painful, it's terrible, & it's beautiful. . And yet, you wouldn't know. Because I hide it. . I bury things at the bottom of the trash. I breathe, ragged and awkward through the cramps, all the while holding onto this tight lipped, painted on smile. . Tampon...

Ashneer comments that low ticket length and lower margin can never be resolved with brute-force low delivery value. In July 2022, he had slammed Bli...

Leaked photos show just how sexy Samsung's Galaxy S8 could look Though we already got a glimpse of what the S8 will supposedly look like last month, newly leaked photos give us a closer look at the front glass panels — and depending on your taste, it's either going to be the hottest phone ever created or the ugliest. SEE ALSO: Everything we think we know about the Samsung Galaxy S8 According Twitter user Benjamin Geskin (via BGR), the images below, posted to China's Weibo, are the front panels of the S8: The leaked images align with previous leaks and rumors that claim the S8 will lose the home button below the display to make way for curved, much larger pressure-sensitive screens (similar to the kind on the iPhone 6S and 7) in two sizes.  The smaller S8 will reportedly have a 5.8-inch screen and the larger "S8 Plus" a 6.2-inch display — both would be larger than the existing S7 and S7 Edge, which have 5.1- and 5.5-inch screens, respectively....

If you're one of the many enthusiasts that applied to buy the $450,000 GT supercar but didn't make the initial cut, I have some good news: Ford announced Friday that it will be doubling the production cycle — from two years to four — for the all-new supercar. Originally, Ford only intended to build around 500 GTs — around 250 per year. And it would only grant the right to buy the 600-horsepower super sports car to ideal brand ambassadors who had been thoroughly vetted. SEE ALSO: Ford promises driverless car without steering wheel or pedals in 2021 Turns out, there were so many people who not only could afford the car, but also adequately represent the brand.
