We’re not even halfway through 2016 at this point, but it’s quite possible that we’ve already see the two hottest ndew Android phones that will debut this year. We expect the upcoming Galaxy Note 6 to improve upon last year’s model in every way, the third OnePlus flagship phone is shaping up to be a beast, Motorola’s next Moto X could be the one we’ve been waiting for and the new Nexus phones should be great, but to be honest, we’re not expecting any of those phones to outshine Samsung Galaxy S7 or the HTC 10.

Mr. Robot was one of the surprise hits of 2015, and the second season will be returning to our screens on July 13th. If the first trailer is anything to go by, we’re going to be in for a rollercoaster summer.

We’d already heard that season 2 would be markedly different from the first season, and the trailer seems to confirm that. It’s going to be much more focused on the consequences, and on current hot-button topics in the tech world like encryption and privacy.

Until recently, most iPhone 7 rumors suggested Apple will stock three distinct models this year, including 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models that would be identical aside from screen size, and then a separate 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Pro with a dual lens rear camera and other premium features. But then a new report from a trusted insider a few days ago said that Apple would equip all 5.5-inch iPhone 7 models with a dual lens camera, suggesting there won’t be any Pro version of the upcoming phablet.

The fandom surrounding comic book movies is as intense as any fandom on the planet. Captain America: Civil War has taken Marvel’s total box office haul over $10 billion while the DC hopeful and the Marvel faithful have been going at it ever since Batman v Superman was pilloried by critics all around the world.
