NEW #FIDGET SPINNER #MOBILE PHONE

The fidget spinners have been one of the craziest things we have seen in 2017. Most of you might have seen someone spinning the fidget spinners rapidly between their fingers. Now, we got a new mobile phone from Chilli Mobiles named K188 which is also a fidget spinner to relieve the stress. The fidget spinner phone comes in five different colors including the Red and Blue which we have with us. It costs just Rs 899 ($14) and comes in a small package that also includes a Warranty card and MicroUSB cable.

While everyone knows about the fidget spinner functionality, let’s talk about the phone functionality on this fidget spinner phone. It can be used a standalone mobile phone or as a Bluetooth dialer. You can pair with your primary phone to make or receive calls directly through the fidget spinner phone. If not, there are dual Micro SIM card slots under the attached battery. You can’t use the Jio 4G SIM on this device as it only supports 2G network. The phone also includes a messaging app to send or receive SMS.

he fidget spinner phone comes with a 1.44-inch display offering QVGA (128 x 128 pixels) resolution. There is just 32MB of RAM and 32MB of ROM to store the contacts and SMS. There is an alphanumeric keypad along with D-pad to scroll through the menu. It is backed by an 800mAh battery which isn’t bad for its form factor. With the polycarbonate shell, the device is also lightweight and spins for the longer durations, but don’t expect it to be as long as regular fidget spinners. There is no MicroSD card slot as seen on the regular mobile phones.

It even misses out the music player and there is no 3.5mm audio jack. With quite a few compromises, this cool looking gadget will mostly stay on your desk or shelves. We don’t recommend you to use it as your primary phone. Instead, it will be a good Bluetooth dialer that can be paired with your large smartphone. Also, follow the steps mentioned in the Youtube description of the above video to win one of the fidget spinner phone. Stay tuned on Phone Radar to know more about the similar gadgets.

#Facebook making new #UI Changes

The devs in Menlo Park have been busy recently rolling out significant changes to the look of the Facebook app for Android, more about which you can read here. We've now received tips about a further change that's currently being tested which changes the linear, swipe- left hamburger menu to a pull-down grid of options. The new layout even has notification dots, just like Android Oreo.

As you can see above, the hamburger menu usually lives on the right side of the navigation bar, and is accessed by either tapping on it or swiping all the way to the left. It brings up a list of options with a fair amount of white/wasted space. The new layout which seems to be in testing replaces the menu with a grid of items which much less free space, and as well as tapping on it you can now pull-down to bring it up.If that sounds a lot like an app drawer, well that seems to be the intention.

If it sounds a lot like a launcher app drawer, well that seems to be the intention. To add even more credence to the comparison, Facebook has also added Android Oreo style notification dots that alert you to something new behind particular options in the grid. The end result is an app drawer, of sorts, that fits much more information into the same space (without being cluttered) and should make navigation within the app that little bit faster. 

When the menu is pulled down, the navigation bar moves with it to the bottom of the screen. There's also one other change of note, the marketplace icon from the navigation bar has been removed. I would have thought it was just added to the grid but I can't see it in any of the materials we have, and I myself don't have the new UI. If anyone finds it, do let me know.

The changes are likely part of a server-side test to a limited number of people rather than through a version update, so chances are you won't have them yet. But if you do, now you know why. You can install Facebook on the off chance by using the link below or grab the latest version from APKMirror.

#Games on Calculator!!

Forget about spending your savings on bulky consoles and gaming rigs, it turns out you can play games straight from your calculator – including classic titles like Grand Theft Auto (GTA), Doom and Skyrim.

Toying around with his TI-Nspire CX graphing device, Redditor RogueConditional has managed to run GTA Advance (the 2004 version of the game for Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance) on the calculator entirely natively.

But while this might seem impressive, it’s nothing new to avid TI-Nspire enthusiasts. In fact, numerous crafty tinkerers have been running games on the popular graphing calculator for years now.

The list of successfully ported games so far includes Doom, Skyrim, Minecraft and even first-person shooter Counter-Srike. You can check out the gameplay videos below to get a better sense of what the calculator gaming experience looks like:

As RogueConditional points out, the TI-Nspire series runs on ARM architecture (the same technology that powers electronics like smartphones and tablets) which practically means you can tweak it to load standard ARM software. And this is precisely what the Redditor did.

Utilizing Ndless‘ jailbreaking software for the TI-Nspire series, RogueConditional was able to install a Game Boy Advance emulator and load the game on the calculator. In fact, should you have a calculator from the TI-Nspire line, you can follow these instructions to do the same.

The best thing about Ndless is that it won’t mess up the calculator’s primary functions – it will only open it up to tons of other native apps and programming languages like Python, C and JavaScript.

#YouTube Updates #Logo

Designed for our multi-screen world, the updated Logo combines a cleaned up version of the YouTube wordmark and Icon, creating a more flexible design that works better across a variety of devices, even on the tiniest screens.

Why’s it more flexible? When room is limited (say on a smartphone) you can use the brightened up Icon as an abbreviated Logo, which will be seen more easily and read more clearly. You’ll see the new Logo and Icon roll out across mobile and desktop today, and across all our other apps and services soon.

Additionally, the company announced a few updates coming to its iOS and Android apps including improved navigation, more gesture controls (like swiping left and right to jump between videos in a playlist), the ability to speed up or slow down videos, and a dedicated player for vertical videos. There's also a new way to browse more videos while in the YouTube player, by swiping up from the bottom of the screen to see suggested videos. 

Both the app and desktop site are being updated to Google's Material Design aesthetic, which will refresh YouTube with a "simple and intuitive user experience that lets content shine," according to the company. With the new update to the desktop site, users will be able to turn on an official Dark Theme so they can browse YouTube more comfortably at night. The Verge reports that Dark Theme will be available on the YouTube mobile apps as well.

The best #smartphone commercial of 2017 may have released by #One Plus

OnePlus has taken to its YouTube channel to share a short commercial showcasing the dual-camera setup on board the recently-launched OnePlus 5 — and it’s not something you’re going to want to miss.

When the firm isn’t enlisting the help of actor and model Emily Ratajkowski, it’s producing low-quality, text-heavy adverts. This time, however, it’s taken a more cinematic approach.

#Apple Made "THE ROCK X SIRI" Movie starring Dwayne Johnson

Now here's something you probably didn't see coming. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has revealed that he's starring in a Siri-themed movie (The Rock x Siri) that launches July 24th on Apple's YouTube channel. He's shy about details (other than that it's the "coolest, sexiest, funnest" movie ever), but it's safe to say there will be some plugs for Apple's voice assistant. We've asked Apple if it can elaborate on the premise.

It's not hard to see why Apple would go to the lengths of crafting a movie with an A-list celeb (even if it's ultimately a glorified commercial). Siri is about to become particularly important to Apple's bottom line thanks to the HomePod, and a high-profile video might boost the AI helper's image as it competes with the likes of Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant.

Update: It's live now. The gist: Johnson takes it upon himself to one-up... himself, using Siri to travel around the world (and above it) accomplishing feats. Yes, it's ultimately a long-form ad, but there have definitely been worse vehicles for The Rock's talents.

#Nova Launcher 5.4 #Beta

Nova Launcher developer Kevin Barry just got done rolling out Google Feed integration, and before we can even catch our breath, there's another significant improvement on the way. In the latest beta of Nova, there's built-in support for Sesame Shortcuts, which is an app of which you probably haven't heard. The gist is Sesame lets Nova deep link into your apps.

Sesame supports deep links into about 20 apps including contacts, Netflix, Spotify, and Tasker. The shortcuts will appear in Nova's app search panel. Just tap a result for one of the supported apps, and you will be taken right to that section of the app. For example, search for a contact, and you can jump right into your current chat thread on WhatsApp. Your shortcuts should also appear as launcher shortcuts on the home screen.

This new functionality is free to try for all Nova users, but Sesame is still a separate app—no money has changed hands between the two devs. Sesame has a 14-day trial, and it'll still work after that is over. You'll just get "gentle reminders" to upgrade after using a shortcut. The full version of Sesame is $2.99 via in-app purchase.

If you want to give this a shot, you need the Nova v5.4 beta. You can join the beta program, or just grab the new version from APK Mirror. You also need to install Sesame.
