Is Hacking Roblox a new trend?

Is Hacking Roblox a new trend?
It's safe to say Roblox is THE MOST played multi-platform game of it's time. With a following of over 178 million players it's not surprising whatsoever, but with a community as large as this, it's not incorrect to say there won't be issues! Sure, you've got your mini-games and it's quite easy to establish friendships with other players, but if you're not keeping up with the community you're missing out on many wonderful opportunities.

For those not granted the gift of financial freedom it's quite hard to "keep up". Builders club is nothing more than an expensive reoccurring payment that enables you to have privileges most users should be entitled to without paying a premium, and decent looking items are nothing more than outrageously priced add-ons the game should have from the gecko. To tell you the truth, it seems Roblox's primary concern isn't about treating the community, it's about reaching a bottom line. Unfortunately, this seems to be a trend in most modern games, and it's almost unavoidable unless you're leveraging methods for obtaining currencies in-game. Sure, some things are simply unethical to do, for example - Stealing items or Robux from other players. But what if you didn't have to? What if you could generate Robux in-game without any intervention whatsoever?

Well, it's absolutely possible with a roblox hack. Simply navigate to the website, enter your username associated with your Roblox account, select the amount of Roblox you'd like to generate and BOOM BAM, that's it. No other intervention is required.

Keep in mind, when using hacks to boost your Robux you could encounter temporary bans. This is all due to account flags Roblox places on it's account holders when server sided changes have been made on multiple occasions, specifically larger server sided changes. So when using LazyAssGamer's Robux hack, be sure not to use it frequently. And above all, enjoy!

Google Pixel 2 Surpasses Galaxy Note 8 and iPhone 8 Plus in DxOMark camera ranking

Google's Pixel is back at the top of the DxOMark camera rankings. The sensor improvements and new features in the Pixel 2 gave it a score of 98.

In the breakdown, DxOMark said that the Google Pixel 2 now has the best performing camera they have ever tested for photography. It also has the joint-highest score for video quality, better than iPhone 8 Plus and Note 8.

The Google Pixel 2 is the top-performing mobile device camera we’ve tested, with a record-setting overall score of 98. Impressively, it manages this despite having “only” a single-camera design for its main camera. Its top scores in most of our traditional photo and video categories put it ahead of our previous (tied) leaders, the Apple iPhone 8 Plus and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, despite the Pixel 2 coming in lower in the new Zoom and Bokehcategories. The Pixel 2 is also a major step forward from the Pixel (which was our top scorer when it was released a year ago), moving from 90 to 98.
The Google Pixel 2 not only takes the DxOMark Mobile scoring crown with a stunning Overall score of 98, but its video performance improves by 5 points over the original Pixel, putting it at 96 and at the top of our video ranking. The Pixel 2’s photo performance is really impressive at 99, and just one point short of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, which scored an amazing 100 in our photo category.

Nokia 9 New Color Leaks!!!

Nokia 9 New Color Leaks!!!
Nokia is all set to reveal its trump card, the Nokia 9 with almost Bezel-less display, dual camera, and other 2017 flagship features. We have already seen the Sketch Renders of the Nokia 9 in Orange Gold Color, but today we have another Color leak of the Nokia 9.

As you can see in the above Sketch (Sort of), the Nokia 9 looks gorgeous in Stunning Blue with bent display just like what we've seen in the Galaxy Note Edge. The device looks promising with tiny top and bottom chin.


One thing that is worth noticing is that the Nokia 9 will be having rear fingerprint sensor instead of front fingerprint+home buttons, which can be found in previous Nokia Smartphones including the Nokia 3, Nokia 5, Nokia 6 and Nokia 8.

This leaked design is very likely going to be the real deal, as it came from trusted Nokia leaker Nokibar. That said, Nokia is expected to reveal the Nokia 9 along with the Nokia 2 later this year.

Recently Nokia announced the Nokia 8 with Outdated 5.3-inch QHD IPS display with huge chin and top bezels. It is powered by the Snapdragon 835 SoC, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage. The phone comes dual rear cameras with Zeiss Optics, Splashproof (IP54), OZO 360-degree Audio, and includes USB Type-C port, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC. The phone runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat.Nokia 9 New Color Leaks!!!

Nokia 9 is going to be the same as the Nokia 8 in terms of Specs. However, the devices will differ in terms of design. Yes, the Nokia 9 is going to be much more expensive than the Nokia 8. Thoughts?
