Amazon has been working to make its voice assistant more Alexa more useful to users, and this latest feature will certainly help with that. The company is adding the hours, phone numbers and addresses of over a million businesses to Alexa’s database.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in early 2017 that emerging markets like India could really use smartphones that cost as little as $30. Android Go, which was announced at the company’s I/O developer conference later that year, was a direct move tow…
Many people have talked about the performances of the new MacBook Pro over the past few days. But Apple focuses on the A11 Bionic chip in its new TV ad.
Named ‘Unleash’, this ad shows a young man walking down the streets of a Chinese city filled with Mobike and Ofo bikes. He’s playing a game on his phone, receiving text messages and watching a live stream on YouTube Gaming.
The game quickly becomes bigger than his phone. He fights monsters and virtual characters in the real world. The tagline says “Unleash a more powerful you”.
If you opened up the App Store today, you may have seen a promotion for Vainglory in the Today tab. That’s because this ad is all about Vainglory, a multiplayer game that works more or less like League of Legends or Dota 2.
Apple has been updating its system-on-a-chip every year to make it more performant. For the first time, Apple designed its own GPU with the A11 Bionic.
This is one of Apple’s competitive advantage against generic Android manufacturers. The company now has a clear advantage when it comes to benchmarks and gaming performance.

Microsoft’s Adaptive Controller is a rather fascinating device on its own. The intention is to make it easier to play games for people who struggle with using a traditional gamepad. We’re learning today that Microsoft’s focus on accessibility doesn’t end at the controller, as even its packaging is designed to be accessible.

Battery Saver mode is available on all devices running Android 5.0 and beyond. If your device is running on an older version – and therefore doesn’t come with the particular feature – we also have helpful battery tips that you could follow.
Battery Saver mode essentially acts as an emergency responder to when your device’s battery falls under a certain percentage – usually somewhere in the range of 15% – 20%. Its aim is to keep the phone alive as long as possible, which in some cases has proved to be a lifesaver.
To make that happen, Battery Saver decreases performance and kills off many of your device’s operations that are happening in the background. That would include blocking email and social networking apps’ automatic updates, GPS tracking from third-party apps and reducing vibrations.
While the above might not sound too much of a burden to you, constant checking for new data and location tracking are actually two of the biggest consumers of your device’s battery life.
All in all, while in battery mode, your Android phone or tablet will run a bit slower and many of the background features will be turned off, though, in return, your battery life will receive a great bump.
To find Battery Saver mode, follow the steps listed below.
It is worth noting that you cannot technically ‘configure’ Battery Saver mode, as the only option available to the user is toggling it on and off. While many of us would appreciate being able to change the percentage in which Battery Saver kicks in, unfortunately, such an option is not currently available.
Moreover, Battery Saver automatically turns off when the charger is plugged in.
Short answer: we’d strongly advise against it. Even if you carry a power bank with you at all times, consider the off-chance that you forget it, and you find yourself in a situation where every single drop of battery juice is important. Additionally, the compromises made to keep the phone alive are not that dramatic.

A lot of us have had a Facebook account since the platform’s early years. During that era, it was common for people to use nicknames or pseudonyms on social networking platforms.
While that applies in 2018 as well, at least when it comes to Facebook, people tend to use their real names (actually a requirement of the platform), for professional or other reasons. Changing your name on Facebook is a piece of cake. In this tutorial, we are going to be showing you how.
The process on mobile is almost identical to the one on desktop.
