The LG G6 is still a fairly new handset but it seems that either Sprint or LG is desperate to drum up some sales because in an announcement by the carrier, for a limited time only, they will be selling the LG G6 for 50% off which means that based on installment plans, customers will only have to pay $14.75 a month over the course of 24 months versus $29.50.

Like we said this offer is for a limited period of time and is expected to run until the 11th of May, 2017. The best part is that despite it being such a great promo, Sprint and LG will maintain the previous promotion which is that for every purchase of the LG G6, customers will be eligible to redeem a free Google Home device worth $129.

This is clearly a fantastic deal for those who are looking to save themselves some money, and while they’re calling it a launch promo, we can’t help but feel that maybe this could be LG’s way of generating as much sales as they possibly can in the face of Samsung launching the Galaxy S8 and S8+.

If this sounds like something you’d like to take advantage of, you’ll be able to do so by heading on over to Sprint’s website for the details. Alternatively if Sprint isn’t your carrier of choice, LG’s promo website will also list other promotions and offers from other carriers.

While a lot of phones have specs that look similar, it’s the subtleties that makes all the difference. For example it could be how manufacturers optimize their UI to make it smooth, or how to squeeze out the best possible images from sensors using their own algorithms and software.

In the case of the OnePlus 3, not all touchscreens were made equal because if you might recall, back in 2016 a developer pointed out how when compared to other Android phones, the OnePlus 3’s touch latency was the “worst”. Granted it might not necessarily be very perceivable by most users, but it does impact the overall experience of the phone.

Touch latency ✔️
Alert Slider ⏰

The good news is that touch latency on the OnePlus 3 has been fixed, or at least that’s according to a tweet by OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei in a recent tweet. According to Pei’s tweet, he has suggested that the touch latency for the OnePlus 3 has been addressed, and that they are now working on the alert slider.

We’re not sure if this has been addressed in the previous patch/update that was released for the phone or if it’s in reference to an upcoming one, but we are assuming the latter. Unfortunately there’s no timeline as to when the update will be released, but either way it’s good news for OnePlus 3 owners.

Since not many people still own a working NES or a Game Boy, this is where emulators come in handy where they allow gamers to play games from consoles that are no longer available. This has allowed many gamers to relive classics and nostalgia, although there are some that might argue that emulators are also essentially a tool for piracy.

Unfortunately for gamers who do enjoy their emulations, it seems that you will no longer be able to download these apps from the Windows Store. This is because Microsoft has updated its policy where emulators are not only banned, but those that currently exist on the Windows Store are being removed.

According to Microsoft’s policy that was recently amended, it reads, “Apps that emulate a game system are not allowed on any device family.” Now we should point out that this affects emulators downloaded from the Windows Store. Since operating systems like Windows allows users to download software from other sources, this means that gamers will just need to find a new place to get their emulators and games, which admittedly isn’t that hard to do.

While this hardly addresses issues regarding piracy, we guess at least as far as Microsoft is concerned, they have done their part in aspects of Windows that they do control.

If you’re hoping to see more Square Enix titles arrive for the Nintendo Switch, it seems that this is something we can look forward to in the future. This is because in an interview with Nikkei (via Press A To Join), the company has stated that they plan to fully support the Nintendo Switch through both original titles as well as ports.

According to Square-Enix COO Yosuke Matsuda, “In addition to developing new titles, we also want to port what we can do with existing game titles more and more. Nintendo proposes various kinds of fun. There may be other companies offering amazing ways of playing with ‘Switching’ characteristics of ‘Switch’. However, since we have our way of doing things, we will make games that we are good at leveraging the functions of Switch.”

So far the company has already released a port of the JRPG I Am Setsuna for the Switch, and a new franchise dubbed Octopath Traveller is in the works. These are just some of the titles the company has planned, although safe to say that many gamers are probably looking forward to and hoping that we will eventually get some Final Fantasy titles for the platform.

There is some hope on that front because back in February, Final Fantasy’s XV director expressed his interest in the Switch and stated that the staff are “really interested” in the Switch, although the only dampener in that statement is that nothing is being worked on at the moment with regards to Final Fantasy coming onto the Switch (for now).

Back in 2015 we heard the rumors that Samsung was apparently planning on closing its camera division, which suggested that the company could be thinking of exiting the consumer camera business. The company later denied that they would be exiting the market, but a report from The Investor is saying otherwise.

According to the report, it quotes a Samsung official who spoke on condition of anonymity. According to the official, “We no longer produce and sell digital cameras. But we will create a new camera product category to continue the business.” From what we can tell, it sounds like Samsung isn’t producing anymore digital cameras, but apparently the company is planning a “new camera product category” (whatever that means) for the future.

While Samsung has denied exiting the market in the past, there has been quite a lot of evidence to suggest that the company is done with digital cameras, or at least the current lineup of digital cameras. This is due to the listing of some of Samsung’s cameras as being discontinued, as well as the pulling out of several markets.

The report from The Investor quotes an anonymous industry source who said, “Samsung lost its competitiveness in the entry segment with the robust growth of smartphone cameras. Even when Japanese big names such as Canon and Nikon who have more than 100 years of history are struggling in the premium market, Samsung seems to have no option but to leave the market.” Take it with a grain of salt, but with Samsung having not made a new digital camera of a while now, we wouldn’t be surprised if the report was true.
