Huawei Nexus 6P camera gets detailed ahead of its official debut

Alleged details on the camera of the upcoming Huawei Nexus 6P made the rounds online ahead of its debut. The flagship phablet will become official alongside LG Nexus 5X in a couple of days, on September 29 at an event in San Francisco. Huawei Nexus 6P is tipped to feature a 12.3MP main camera with f/2.0 lens and large 1.55 μM pixels, which are the reason for the snapper's fairly low resolution. Larger pixels will capture more light, thus giving the phablet's camera an edge in low-light scenarios. The front-facing camera of the Nexus 6P will reportedly be an 8MP unit. It is said to feature 1.4 μM pixels. Physical measures of Nexus 6P are rumored to be 159.4 x 77.8 x 7.3 mm. We reckon that they don't include the considerable camera hump that the phablet will sport. Yesterday's leaked Google slides confirmed that Nexus 6P will pack Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC, 5.7" QHD display, USB Type-C connector, fingerprint sensor, and stereo speakers. Of course, the device will come with Android Marshmallow out of the box....

You don't need any kind of internet connectivity for this. Once you set up the server on your computer, the Android app will automatically sync your photos, videos, and other files to the computer over Wi-Fi. If you're not sure about cloud storage and prefer local backup, this is a good way to do it with minimum fuss. Price: Free Download: Android Freeze! 2 - Brothers Freeze returns with a sequel. Now with more levels, improved visuals, and a bit more polish. The gameplay is more or less identical, where you have to guide the eyeball to the swirl by rotating the level around and using the freeze function drop the ball exactly where you want. There are some new gameplay mechanics, including a second ball and tons of levels to play. Price: $1.99 Download: iOS • Android HoPiKo HoPiKo is a fast-paced action game where you have to be quick and accurate to complete the level. The gameplay mechanics are very simple; you just have to press and hold and move your thumb around to aim. Your objective is to move from surface to surface and reach the goal, in as short time as possible, while avoiding all the obstacles. Each level has five levels within and if you die before finishing the last one you go right back to the first. Each level gives you bonus points for finishing within a particular amount of time. There is also a soundtrack file that you have to collect within one of the levels that unlocks a new track. The game moves at a hectic pace and there is no time to dawdle around. Once you understand the controls and how the game works you'll be tapping and swiping away frantically to try and get to the next level.

Some levels you don't have to jump at all but you still end up doing it out of habit and hit the spike on the roof like an idiot. The only annoying part about this game is the ads, which can be gotten rid of by paying a small amount, which is highly recommended. Price: Free Download: iOS •...
