Google Pixel 3 Concept Reveals Full Design and Specs

The fact that there will be three Pixel phones is definitely interesting. As it could mean Google is looking at releasing a budget-oriented model, something similar to the Nexus 5 a few years back. These days, launch gaps are getting smaller and smaller in the competitive smartphones market. Therefore it is certain that we get to take a glimpse at a premature debut of the Google Pixel 3 in the near future.

In fact, many designers have come up with different concepts and specs for this phone. However, the renders made by DBS Team is the one that catches our eyes the most. In their pictures, the Pixel 3 is shown in pure white colour, with some accents on the side and a black facade. The device packs a Quad HD+ 18:9 display, which doesn’t seem to be using a notch. From what we can see double front speakers are here and also a dual rear camera in the back.

The Pixel 3 handset does wireless charging, so it probably has a glass back, plus fast charging. Furthermore, the handset runs on Android P and comes with 8GB of RAM, 128GB ROM plus fingerprint sensor feature. Also, Google Pixel 3 probably takes power from a Snapdragon 845 chipset. On the other hand, Google Pixel 3 camera packs a single 19MP rear sensor and a 13MP front-facing snapper. Regarding the battery, the Pixel 3 smartphone rocks a 3850mAh capacity.

It looks like Facebook is in big trouble! People are using #deletefacebook hashtag on social media to fight against the company’s violation of privacy policies. Scroll down to find out why!

Why #DeleteFacebook Is Trending

Last weekend, news broke that a data firm Cambridge Analytica used Facebook to harvest data from 50 million profiles illegitimately. Then they used it to target voters during Trump’s 2016 campaign for the US presidency. Cambridge Analytica pulled information by paying people to take quizzes and proceeded to use that information gathered from users’ friends without any permission. Christopher Wylie – Cambridge Analytica founder – came forward about the illegitimate use of data in an interview with The Guardian. He said Facebook knew his company had gathered a large sum of data back in 2015.

At the time, Facebook deleted the quiz and company lawyers sent a letter to Cambridge Analytica asking to remove the information. But Facebook never followed up to make sure the deed was done properly. Ever since the interview, users are expressing their anger at the irresponsible use of their data by trending the hashtag #DeleteFacebook. Apparently, the personal information Cambridge Analytica pulled helps build psychographic profiles that assessed things. For instance, IQ, agreeableness, political views, and personality traits. The analysis was so in-depth and detailed that the company was able to categorise people into five “sensational interest”.

To be specific, they are militarism, violent occultism, intellectual activities, credulousness and wholesome interests. More than two years after the alleged data breach from Cambridge Analytica was first reported, and four days after the Guardian reached out to Facebook for comment, Facebook finally suspended Cambridge Analytica from its platform on March 16. A few days later, it suspended Wylie’s Facebook and Instagram accounts.

IS THIS THE END OF FACEBOOK SOCIAL NETWORK?

Both companies, Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, are now under investigation. Besides that, Facebook’s stock has dropped 8% from market close on Friday as of noon ET on Monday. Do you think this is the end of Facebook? Share your opinion below!

1. Call Me Zebra by Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi

The first candidate of 2018 best books to read of our list today surrounds Bibi Abbas Abbas Hosseini, the protagonist of Call Me Zebra. Furthermore, this character is probably more similar to Don Quixote and Ignatius Reilly of A Confederacy of Dunces in some way. On the other hand, this might be because she stems from a family that possess literature knowledge over other practical skills.

Moreover, her life is a picaresque adventure on par with some of the greats in literature. Also, the plot draws the darkest family tragedy with international globetrotting and grand acts of romantic pursuit.

From this original debut, Emezi shirks the conventional narrative of mental illness and starts something new entirely.

3. Force of Nature by Jane Harper

However, this novel is for any who relishes gossiping about coworkers. In details, this book is mostly coworker drama with a dramatic disappearance in the Australian. Moreover, there would be a random group of employees sets off on a corporate wilderness retreat far outside of Melbourne. After that, the female group returns hours later without Alice Martin. During the story, Harper will keep readers taut from endless cliffhangers. Therefore, Force of Nature is the kind of crime novel that will appeal to everyone.

Meanwhile, Red Clocks is a story that’s frighteningly easy to imagine. The topic surrounds Abortion, which becomes illegal once again in America. In the story, the doctors are banned from performing in-vitro fertilisation. Furthermore, a Personhood Amendment has endowed embryos with the right to liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and life. Meanwhile, five women In a small Oregon town are forced to navigate the confines of this new world. When reading this, you feel story similar to The Handmaid’s Tale for the new millennium.
