While HTC Desire 10 Pro and HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle have just been launched recently, we have received some information about another HTC phone: HTC Ocean! Let’s take a look!

HTC Ocean: A brand new touch sense technology

Recently, a video was posted by Danelle Vermeulen – HTC Motion designer. The video shows a new HTC phone which is named HTC Ocean. This video was then removed from his website. However, smartphone leakster @evleaks had been able to download this video before it was taken down, and now it has been spread over the internet!

According to this video, HTC Ocean will come with a brand new touch sense technology. To be more specific, there are two capacity panels located on… the outer sides of the smartphone! These panels can be used to activate certain functions of the phone like the camera, media player and more! After tapping or swiping these panels, the phone will listen to your commands and complete them.

As far as we are concerned, this touch sense technology on HTC Ocean can help users manage the phone faster and more conveniently. However, as no lock button is found, this phone should also come with a new lock/unlock method, like a specific hand gesture for example. Without it, there will be lots of annoyance for users because only an unintentional touch can activate many functions of the phone.

HTC Ocean: Will it turn into reality?

Speaking about this leak, Danelle Vermeulen has claimed that HTC Ocean is not a real smartphone of HTC. Instead, it is just a concept. What do you think? In our opinion, this phone is not simply a concept. If it was really a concept, Danelle wouldn’t have to take the video down. One more possibility is that this video is a teaser of another technology coming soon in the future. So let’s wait and see.

Civilization VI is a multiplayer turn-based strategy game. It is the continuation of the award-winning Civilization series. The game will be released on October 21st 2016.

Build an empire with Sid Meier’s Civilization VI

Civilization VI is a multiplayer turn-based strategy game where you build a civilization, and try your best to turn it into the ruling empire. The previous entry of the award-winning Civilization series – Civilization V – had more than 8 million copies sold! However, the new game episode is said to offer many more ways for players to engage with their virtual world. Civilization VI was initially created by legendary game designer Sid Meier.

The players will create and lead their chosen civilization from as early as the Stone Age up until the Information Age. They will become rulers, and will do as how real rulers do! That is: build empire, advance culture, research technology, wage wars with their enemies, conduct diplomacy and expand their territories! Civilization VI will let players control every aspect of a civilization: from city outlay planning, trade routes to religion!

One of the main highlights of the game is the wide range of civilizations that players can choose from: England, Aztec, Kongo, Rome, Germany, Norway, China and more! In addition to this, the competing civilizations will behave differently and will follow their own agendas. It is all because the game producers included the traits and characteristics of real historic figures in the story play!

A well designed multiplayer strategy game

The game is planned to be released next month: on October 21 st 2016. The Civilization VI price will begin at 59,99 USD (on Steam). If you are a strategy game fanatic,you should pay close attention to this game! Civilization VI is expected to set the benchmark a little bit higher for all turn-based strategy games out there.

Instagram is day by day improving its service to reach users’ satisfaction. And integrated with new feature is one of its ways. “Save drafts”, the latest feature, allows users to save your changes to upload them later.

Instagram: save your edited pictures as draft

After testing with selected users in July, Instagram has just made the “save draft” feature officially available to everyone. The option is shown when users back out the image editing mode. A new dialog box presents you with the message: “If you go back now, your image edits will be discarded.” And then, you can choose to whether save it as draft or discard it.

However, only images that already have been edited can be saved as draft. You can crop, add a location, add a filter, tag or anything you want in order to save them. Return to the app later, hit the central “camera” icon to access your library, and you’ll see all your saved drafts at the bottom of the screen in their very own section labeled “drafts”. The feature should already be available for both iOS and Android users, so update the app to give it a go for yourself.

Obviously, Instagram new feature will be useful, especially to convince those indecisive Instagram users. You can have excessive time to edit your picture and caption before posting images. Besides, the biggest benefit might go to social media managers. They can line up several posts in draft, and then share them throughout the day.

Instagram “save draft” is a life saver

You usually spend an inordinate amount of time making sure that your filters are impeccably vintage. Or  you are in too much of a hurry to spend a full 30 seconds to post a photo? Then Instagram new feature will totally make your life easier. Keep following our page for any further newest updates and information!
