When it comes to implementing a dark theme in Android P that’s more friendly to battery life, Google seems to be against it for now. We discovered for ourselves that swapping our wallpaper to a darkened photo seems to activate dark mode. Seen in the picture below, swiping left to take a look at news stories reveals a black background, though oddly, the beta doesn’t render the text within each box yet. It’s hard to say at this point if Google will move forward with a full-on dark mode for Android

Bitcoin, as a currency or commodity, can be used to settle debt, remit money, or conduct online payments. As Bitcoin takes away a state’s power to arbitrarily print money, freeze accounts, and censor transactions, it is often seen as a significant threat to authoritarian regimes. It might feel like we don’t need Bitcoin, or we may be unsure about what we might need it for. With Bitcoin, they are suddenly given a tool to transmit monetary value with the same ease as sending a text message. There

Smartphone bezels are getting smaller all the time, with phones such as the iPhone X now offering an almost all-screen design, other than a notch, but Lenovo could be about to ditch the notch as well and deliver a truly bezel-free phone. Chang Cheng, Lenovo’s Vice President, has teased such a phone on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging site), posting a sketch of a phone with zero bezels. He calls it the Lenovo Z5, and this image follows an earlier teaser from him showing a partial render of the phon

Remember Valve’s wierdo Steam Controller? It’s about to get another day in the sun thanks to the upcoming revival of the Steam Link app – and with it a bunch of new features too. Steam Link, which allows gamers to stream their library of PC games from one device to another, is getting support for mobile devices too as part of a new update. Currently, the Steam Controller requires pairing with a proprietary USB dongle, designed to reduce latency, in order to connect and play. It’s worth noting th

Wireless car charging has been teased for a few years, but it’s set to enter the consumer market officially this year after BMW confirmed it’ll start production of an inductive charging pad in July. Originally announced back in September 2017, and teased with a simple “2018 arrival”, the German auto manufacturer has now provided more information on when we can expect to pick up the wireless charging pad for electric vehicles. There is a small catch though – it’ll only be available on a lease-dea

New renders appeared online today, leaking what the phone is supposed to look like on the front and back. Everything else about the OnePlus 6 front is all about the big screen real estate, said to be 6.28 inches. On back, we’re getting a clear look at the vertically stacked dual-lens camera, flash, and oval-shaped fingerprint sensor. These unofficial OnePlus prices are said to be derived from Amazon, and represent a very slight increase over the OnePlus 5T staring price of $499 (£449, AU$599). N

Apple is apparently working on an iPhone SE 2, based on reports, but when are we going to actually see it? Previously, the iPhone SE 2 had been tipped to arrive earlier in the year, as the original iPhone SE did. Best face forwardWhat does seem (almost) certain is that the iPhone SE 2 will come with a TrueDepth camera that enables Face ID, as well as a notch in the display, and no Home button. Apple looks set to be going all in with the face unlocking, so you can give your fingerprints a rest as

Unfortunately for Apple, the curious case of the failing MacBook Pro and MacBook keyboards is refusing to go away. It now faces a class action lawsuit issued in California, which states that the company knew there were problems with the latest butterfly-switch keyboard design and went ahead with it anyway. Thousands affectedWhile the majority of MacBooks and MacBook Pros are obviously working fine with the new keyboards, a substantial number of users have reported problems. An online petition ca

From blood spills to BloodborneThe Tenchu series, first developed by studio Acquire and later by Dark Souls and Bloodborne legends FromSoftware turns twenty this year. And you’d sure need them – the Tenchu series was famed for its brutal difficulty levels, something that would be adopted by From Software for its later Souls titles. The Tenchu series would peak on the PS2 with 2003’s Wrath of Heaven, before sadly slipping into obscurity after a string of so-so sequels and spin offs. Dig a little
