Razer has quietly been improving the Razer Phone and its support of the smartphone. So far, Razer has increased the capabilities of Razer Phone – the last major software update. In details, the updates include HDR support for Netflix as well as Dolby Digital 5.1 with the immersive audio standard. But that’s not the only news around Razer’s mobile efforts since bigger and better things could be around the corner with a new handset.

The company is not going to confirm or deny any future plans (apart from saying that there is no a Razer Toaster). However, there are discussions that the Razer Phone 2 (so effectively the Next Bit 3) will arrive later in 2018. That would be less than a year from the launch of the first Razer Phone. In addition, the handset in-store with better timings ahead of the festive period makes a lot of commercial sense.

Previously, there includes the January 2018 security update for the current Razer Phone. At that time, there have been some teething troubles rolling about the update. In details, the update performs differently between network-supplied devices and those bought directly from the manufacturers. Therefore, the established manufacturers will not give hands on the new Razer Phone for consistent updates for all of the future devices.

5 Interesting Facts About Smartphones in China!

In China, QR codes are huge and very practical. When you are in Chinese cities, people often pay for things and send money to others using this code. Furthermore, people in China do not have access to the Play Store. Therefore, when you need to download an app, you have to use your QR code. The second fact is that there are a considerable number of apps you can use to pay for items directly to sellers instead of through banks.

Since paying with the smartphones is a standard procedure, if you intend to pay with your card, you might receive a disgruntled look. Smartphones are parts of the daily life, from buying a ticket or getting a drink from a machine. The third interesting fact in China is that Whatsapp and Facebook are not available in this country. QQ replaces social media here. Furthermore, instead of Uber, there is Didi for private transport, searches are made through Baidu rather than Google, Tinder is TanTan, and Twitter is Weibo.

Moreover, Xiaomi s a giant manufacturer in China. Besides smartphones, this company also produces toothbrushes, water and air purifiers, sneakers, safety sensors, smart lamps, backpacks, light fixtures, electric bikes and various security cameras. Some brands such as Samsung, Sony and LG are virtually non-existent. The fact is that Apple and Xiaomi comprise most of the market shares in this country.

Google Yeti gaming stream service

Anonymous users claiming to have inside knowledge at Google reported that the company is secretly working on a streaming service focused on gaming. In details, the streaming service shows codename “Yeti”, which enables gaming without downloading software or buying physical media. Meanwhile, other details are vague right now, but it wouldn’t be too surprising if this turned out to be true.

On the other hand, Google has repeatedly played around with the idea of getting more into the $105 billion in the gaming industry. However, there are still a lot of questions concerning what the company will focus on. The questions are whether Google might provide a gaming console, or just streaming service for smartphones and computers. Also, would Google Yeti work for new games created with the service or for large ranges of existing games?

In the case, Google might face a serious battle and numerous very competing rivals including Steam and Sony. Google recently hired Phil Harrison as a VP and manager in Google’s hardware division. Besides, Mr Harrison is the one who clocked nearly 20 years building gaming consoles for Sony and Microsoft. Perhaps, Google is going to try to compete in casual games arena and leave Microsoft and Sony with the hardcore gamers.

Google Yeti – will it work?

Regardless of the strategy, Google making a leap into the gaming world would be a serious shakeup. Besides, Google has the resources to give Google Yeti a place among other gaming companies. If you are interested, drop us a comment below to share what you think about the new direction of Google. Let’s just make a guess about Google Yeti and stay tuned with us.
