Remember flip phones? We sure do. Flip phones were the most popular thing last decade, and now seem to be making a comeback. What we have here is the new ZTE CYMBAL-T, an interesting phone with a horrible name.

The new ZTE flip phone was just launched in the US and it's going to be an affordable $99 phone. It comes with a 3.5" touchscreen so you can operate the phone with either your keyboard or screen. There's also an external screen which tells you the time and recent notifications.

The phone also comes with a Snapdragon MSM8909 quad-core processor, clocked at 1.1GHz and 1GB of RAM. There's a 5MP/2MP set up, and it comes with Lollipop 5.0 according to ZTE.

What do you think? Do you still want a flip phone? Will you wait for Motorola or Samsung to release one?

Android Security Engineer says Google's Pixel is as Secure as the iPhone

 By Vaibhav Jain on November 03, 2016       

Most of the people consider Apple's iPhone (iOS) much more secure than Android. But Google’s director of security at Android, Adrian Ludwig, wants mobile users to know that the Pixel and the iPhone are security equals.



At the O'Reilly Security Conference in New York City on Tuesday, Ludwig told Motherboard, “for sure,” there’s no doubt that a Google Pixel and an iPhone are pretty much equal when it comes to security. 

He added, "Android, will soon be better though".

For now what makes Apple more secure is Apple’s quick patching and strict App Store regulations. While on the other hand, What makes Android unsafe is Installing applications from 3rd party application store (to get apps for free), The same increases the risk of installing pirated and non-secure apps.

Girl buys a house by selling out 20 iPhones given by her 20 boyfriends

 By Vaibhav Jain on November 01, 2016       

It's all started with a Chinese women who convinced her 20 boyfriends (Yes 20, IDK how she made so many) that she had been dating to buy her the recently launched iPhone 7. 

She then sold all the 20 iPhone 7 at Chinese mobile phone recycling site "Hui Shou Bao" for around $17,500. She used that money as a downpayment for a house.


The Girl broke the news of "How she bought this home" infront of her co-workers during a house welcoming party. One of the co-worker then shared the same on Chinese social media. This story seems legit as the Mobile phone recycling site has confirmed that it had indeed sold 20 iPhones from a single person recently.

We are quite sure: the girl not only broke her 20 boyfriend's heart, but also broke the whole Internet after this story went viral and had been shared more than 13 million times on Chinese Social media.
