Many people using Android smartphones have rooted their handsets. If you are considering about this, let’s read our article today. We would like to show you some advantages and disadvantages of a rooting Android phone.

A rooting Android phone: advantages

The very first upside is that you can uninstall the default apps. Default apps are the pre-installed applications on your device, but you want to remove them from the phone to have more empty storage. Most carriers will not allow you to uninstall these apps because of business reasons. And you can root your devices to get rid of them. Besides, if you want to install some default apps that are not available in your handset, you can do it after the rooting. The rooting  will allow you to run the tools which intervene in the system. For example the tool freezes app to save battery.

The other advantage of rooting your phones is that you can easily change the interface. If you are getting bored with the themes provided by the manufacturers, you can root your phone to give it a new and interesting style. One more benefit from this is you can hack games or apps. Some games or apps are only available after you root that devices.

A rooting Android phone: disadvantages

The first downside of this is that your phone can be out of order. The percentage of this case might not be high, but we can’t make sure that you are not the unlucky victim. The second problem is that malwares can easily penetrate into your phone. After rooting, you can install any apps you like, can some malicious apps can take advantage of this to malfunction your device.

The third trouble when rooting is you lose the guarantee right. Because when you phone has problems after rooting, the manufactures will claim that those faults are not their, so why they have to fix it for free. Last but not least, it is impossible to update your phone from the manufacturer after rooting.

So, root or not root?

If you are curious, want to install new apps, change interface, you can totally root a Android phone. But in case you do not know much about smartphones, and don’t want to miss the guarantee, you shouldn’t do that.

Just launched 1 week ago, Xiaomi Mi MIX ceramic design draws a huge attention with their powerful specs. However, an unlucky user dropped and ruined a Mi MIX at a Mi Store, which raises a question about the durability of this new blockbuster.

The Xiaomi Mi MIX ceramic design

Xiaomi Mi MIX ceramic has made the whole world excited with the entire front and ultra-thin screen border. However, this design makes the machine very easily damaged when dropped. Recently, during a walk through of Xiaomi shop in Hangzhou, China, a customer accidentally dropped the Mi MIX and it was broken quite serious. The case raises a question about the durability of Xiaomi Mi Mix ceramic material.

Mi MIX has a full ceramic body, including the back of the fuselage, borders and even buttons. All are made of a creamy micro-crystalline ceramic material. Mi MIX’s micro-crystalline zirconium ceramic is stated to be 8.5 Mohs hardness, only lower than diamonds and sapphire. Xiaomi’s technical team also said that the glass panel has never been the same as in smartphone. 

This type of ceramic material poses some advantages like noble texture, color mellow, high refractive index and strong dispersion and skin-friendly. Moreover, Xiaomi Mi Mix ceramic material doesn’t prevent the signal and the fingerprint sensor can be more clear and has sharp images. However, the combination of bezel less design and ceramic material can cause a disaster and a waste of money because it seems to be too easy to be broken.

Ways to prevent Xiaomi Mi Mix ceramic ‘s broking disaster

Mi MIX is a beautiful device so the user does not want to have to wrap it in a case, however, if you do not want to break up early with a beautiful sparkling handset and also not cheap as Mi MIX, users should accept the use of protective measures such as protection case or accident insurance purchased for $ 36.9.

Titanfall 2 has been released recently. It came with no DLCs or season pass at all – a rarity in today’s industry. That’s not the main selling point of the game, because it more than stands up on its own. Here are why you should play Titanfall 2!

Why you should play Titanfall 2

Titanfall 2 was released in a not very ideal time. Its released date was jammed between two of the most anticipated games of the holiday: Battlefield 1 first, and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare in late November. Being between the release of two giants, many would not give Titanfall 2 a chance. However, there are plenty reasons for you to play this game, and it is certainly more than the fact that there are no DLCs or season pass!

What makes the game unique is the amazing combination of the fast pace, the acrobatics of the moves and robots. Almost every child inside us loves robots. If we were to describe Titanfall 2, it is the combination of CoD: Advanced Warfare with Gundams and robotic armors, with the ability to do moves like in Mirror’s Edge. It created a highly enjoyable experience. The story telling has also been improved over the predecessors, as you now feel the purpose of the plot. It certainly leaves players wanting for more than just the 6 hours average campaign.

The multiplayer aspect is also improved by a lot. Now, the number of Titans players are able to choose from is doubled – from 3 to 6 – and that proves to be an excellent decision. It creates more combinaiton of multiplayer play for the game than ever. There are now more customization options for pilots and titans too. However, this side may be better if there are more choice to customize than just the skin. However, with the already big leaps, the game is certainly much more fun to play.

Titanfall 2: Hope for future installments

Titanfall 2 may come at a bad time, but it is definitely a game worth trying. You can purchase it now, and only pay one time. Are you looking forward to playing the game?

Blizzcon 2016 has finished. This year’s event, there were many new announcements of your favorite games from Blizzard. Let’s see what we have!

Blizzcon 2016: What happened

Firstly, there was no Diablo 4, much to the disappointments of fans.

Also, there will be a new Necromancer class for Diablo 3 as well. This is great news, as the Necromancer class has many utilities and enhancements. This will also enrich the game’s already wide variety of classes.

Next up, we have Overwatch, considered one of the best shooting games. Sombra, the new hero who has been rumored before, has finally been introduced. However, nothing much is known about ability. She is shown to be able to go invisible, have superspeed hacking, and can teleport, so that may give us a hint. Also in the event, Blizzard has revealed that the company is setting up an Overwatch competitive League of its own. This is great news for competitive players, as they now have a big venue where they can showcase their skills to the world, and earn real prizes.

The last bits of information ill be about Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm. Blizzard has shared in the event that there will be a new expansion for Hearthstone: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan.

After the success of the previous installments, Mafia 3 has finally been launched. There were high expectations for the game to do well. After its first week, what the game achieved has certainly pleased its publisher.

Mafia 3 shipped 4.5 million copies in its first week!

Take-Two – the parent company of Rockstar (GTA, Red Dead Redemption) and 2K Games (Mafia) – have told the Washington Post recently that he new released game Mafia 3 has shipped a total of 4.5 million copies. This in turn have set a new record for 2K Games. 4.5 million copies shipped in one week means that Mafia 3 has become the fastest selling game in the history of 2K. It has surpassed other big games of the publisher such as Borderlands, BioShock and NBA 2K.

Despite that, shipped only refers to copies sold to retailers, not through to consumers. A specific sold-through number for the new Mafia game has not been revealed yet. Take-Two will release its report earnings for the latest quarter soon, so hopefully we can have a look at the game’s sales in more details. n September 2013, when Rockstar – one division of Take-Two – released GTA V, it has been reported to earn $800 million in its first 24 hours! Rockstar is also reported to release Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2017.

Take-Two also shared with the Washington Post that, during development of Mafia 3, there were discussions about Lincoln Clay, the protagonist of the latest installment of Mafia. They were about his race and identity, and whether or not the team wanted to go the path it did. However, soon they shifted from that to making the game look and feel like in the 1960s, without being “exploitative or preachy”, as the CEO Strauss Zelnick said. He shared that it has been a challenge to make the game realistically and sensitively, especially considering the main character’s race. However, so far everything has been great for them.

Mafia 3’s new records: Hope for future installments

With this new record set by Mafia 3, hopefully the game publisher 2K will have more reasons to continue with the franchise. The game is already available in the market. Are you looking forward to playing this game?
