Well, it was coming from a long time now. Lenovo is all over the place with its mobile business with its own smartphones, Motorola phones, and the ZUK phones. And now, popular analyst, Pan Jiutang in Weibo, says that Lenovo will kill the ZUK brand in coming weeks. The Chinese firm is making this decision to make their product lineup unified. This essentially means that the future smartphone from Lenovo will be branded under Lenovo-Moto.
Till date, Lenovo's child brand has released five smartphones with the latest one being the Lenovo ZUK Edge. Lenovo created the ZUK brand back in 2014 to compete with the domestic Chinese brands in its homeland. Recently, Lenovo also announced that the future Motorola phones in China will come with ZUK ZUI, which is also one reason that the company is killing the brand.

Baseball is embracing innovative technologies to improve the fan experience, and also encourage younger views to embrace the national pastime. Although football seems to hold the majority backing of technological advancements, baseball is seemingly following suit. Therefore, there are now new and exciting technologies that are transforming the game, such as the top five listed below.
Virtual Reality
MLB Advanced Media does so much more than simply produce the baseball league’s TV channels and streaming. It is also a video game and virtual headset developer. Fans can, therefore, step inside a baseball game and feel firsthand what it is like to be their athletic celebrities. Additionally, fans can develop their baseball skills without having to step onto an actual pitch.
Baseball Simulation
If you really want to feel like a player, you should look no further than the free baseball simulation games. The online and PC technology offers the multiple fantasy baseball game, with over 4,000 players to choose from in the line-up. It is undoubtedly one of the most realistic baseball games you can play, from the weather conditions through to the attention to detail of the parks and players. How often do you get to have Willie Mays or Ted Williams in your lineup?
Artefacts and Technology Exhibition
Fans can immerse themselves into the world of baseball with the Hall of Fame tour, which is a travelling exhibition that showcases the history of baseball through artefacts and technology. Therefore, baseball lovers can learn more about the stories and stars that have created the history of the sport, which will be shown through various technologies like iPads. Make sure to see the artefacts up close, such as Yogi Berra’s mitt worn during the Don Larsen’s Perfect Game in 1956, as well as Bobby Thomson’s bat in the 1952 walk-off home run. There’s also the ball Babe Ruth hit in the final home run of his career, way back in 1935.
Internet Access
No other stadium in the world can compare to the PacBell Park, as it is the first Major Baseball League in the world offering internet kiosks with strict internet access at the ballparks. The free internet has been installed on three levels of the stadium, which allows fans to use social media, send and receive emails, and browse baseball statistics. It has been coined a part museum and part high-tech showplace, as fans can also enjoy interactive nostalgia footage. Innovative Scoreboards
Head to the Mariners’ new Seattle park, Safeco Field, and you cannot help but notice the innovative scoreboard that is a whopping 56 feet tall and 190 foot wide. Not only that, but it has a high-resolution LED screen. Sounds good, right? Well, unlike other fields, fans can also experience another ten smaller scoreboards across the park.
What makes these boards stand out is the fact that they can automatically record and report the pitch speed, as well as the type of pitch. It is, without a doubt, one of the most forward-thinking ballparks in the United States.
While technology has usually fallen behind the likes of basketball and football in recent years; baseball is seemingly undergoing a digital transformation. We can only expect more technological advancements in the future, which will ensure many more fans embrace the historic national sport.
Samsung's newest smartphones, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ are the best smartphones ever in terms of design. While the Galaxy S9 is away for a year, the focus is shifted towards the middle smartphone Galaxy Note 8, which is also said to feature the same design language as S8 and S8+. The phone is just four months away from now, but rumors are already flooding in, and today, Mushin M. Belaal has designed a new concept of the Galaxy Note 8, and it looks dope in every aspect. Well, if Samsung releases the device with the same design, it will give Galaxy S8 users run for their money. The device looks a lot similar to the S8 and S8+, but the bezels are squared off to make it look more gorgeous. Speculations are rife that the phone will feature a 6.4-inch QHD+ display, Snapdragon 835 SoC, 6GB RAM, IRIS Scanner, Dual rear camera, and 4000mAh battery. The release might happen in August 2017, going by Samsung's tradition.
2016 marked the year for modular smartphones with LG and Motorola starting the trend. But Motorola took the game to an entirely new level with the Moto Mods concept. The best part of the project is that the company is allowing third-party vendors to develop the mods. There are already some innovative Moto Mods released, and some are in the works. Recently, a Moto Mod leaked suggested a qwerty keyboard addition to the phone, and now a GIF shows an impressive Moto Mod. The concept is that the Mod allows you to use four SIM cards along with the default SIM card tray that comes with the phone. Nevertheless, the GIF just shows that we can use four SIM cards on the phone, but haven't leaked any info about the implementation though. There are several other Moto Mods, which will be releasing in coming weeks, but this one surely is an interesting one to watch out.
