The Pop 2 range of smartphones must be doing well in the market. Or TECNO Mobile is just taking feedback and refining model after model to give customers what they want. Either scenario is a good thing. Following after the Pop 2, came the Pop 2 Power. And now we have the Pop 2 Pro. That is a handful of devices in the same range. What sets the TECNO Pop 2 Pro apart are the bigger internal storage space it has, the big battery, and a cool gradient colour option....

TECNO Pop 4 is a 2020 Android smartphone from the stables of TECNO Mobile. Since its release, it has proven to be quite popular. No surprise, considering its specs to price ratio. The Pop features a 6-inch display, 32GB storage memory, 2GB RAM, and a beefy 5000mAh battery. This is a 3G smartphone, so you can expect the best battery life from that battery. Also, considering that it runs the highly optimised Go Edition of Android 10, the enrty-level processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB storage will deliver much better performance....

For instance, when cleaning, working, walking, driving, or engaging in other tasks that call for a little multitasking, it’s pretty easy to listen rather than actively read any bit of information. Doing this gets much easier with Apple’s text-to-speech service – called Speak Screen – which is available on your iPhone. If you don’t know how to set up and use Apple’s text-to-speech feature, we’ll show you in this guide....

The company claims it can’t add any more games due to licensing and technical issues, but they did pretty well nonetheless, adding over 70 newly backward compatible games for Xbox gamers to enjoy. Not only can you play these older games on newer systems, but Microsoft actually updated many of them with frame rate boosts that make them play better than ever and feel smoother than you might remember. Here are our favorite backward compatible Xbox and Xbox 360 games that look and play better than ever on the Xbox Series X|S....

Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner: The Final Cut came about in 2006, resulting in fans of the first movie marveling at the fully realized masterpiece. With it, Blade Runner went from a film bogged down by studio interference to one of the most profound sci-fi movies ever made. The 2017 sequel Blade Runner 2049 continued the tale, picking up decades later with new characters and a new mystery. Aside from the grandiosity of its dystopian Los Angeles, it’s the characters of Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 that have allowed the franchise to endure....

It might be to some far-off land with mythical creatures and filled with magic, or it just might be a slightly different version of the world we already live in. No matter what you’re looking for, chances are there’s a fantasy book (or a full-blown fantasy series) that’ll take you there. But you may not have the time to read every story you want to read—and given how much longer fantasy stories tend to be versus other fiction genres, that can be a problem....

But what about movies where the protagonist isn’t the one going back in time, but rather the movie itself? Directors like Christopher Nolan like to manipulate their narratives in various ways, and one of those ways is to play with the story’s chronology. By choosing to unfold a story in ways other than linearly straightforward, we get unique cinema experiences that blow our minds. Here are our picks for the best movies that use reverse narratives—to big and small degrees—and tell their stories in unusual ways....

And that includes a fair number of RPGs, many of which are absolutely fantastic. Not sure where to start? Here are our picks for the best RPGs on Xbox Game Pass, covering all types of RPG. 10. Cris Tales Cris Tales is a 2D turn-based RPG that turns time on its side, introducing a new gameplay mechanic in the process. Not far into the game, you get a mysterious power that lets you see into the past, present, and future (simultaneously) of a given place....

Stripped away from all the finery of modern life, would you be able to survive a deadly situation caught out in the wild? Stranded on an island? Beaten and weathered by natural disasters? How long could you hang on for rescue before giving up? Plenty of movies have been made about humanity’s fight for survival, but there aren’t too many that can be considered great. Here are the best survival movies worth watching!...

Maybe you’re a hero who wants to fight crime and injustice without any desire for fame or popularity. Or maybe you’re the bad guy who wants to wreak havoc or conduct criminal activities without law enforcement all up in your business all the time. And then there are overseer-type organizations who stay at a distance and simply observe, slightly involving themselves with subtle course corrections when the balance between forces appears to be tilting....

You have the genius detective—who’s usually battling his own demons in the subplot—and the funny sidekick. There’s the countdown to solve a case before something bad happens. Not to mention the puzzling clues that have us guessing along with them. These detective tropes and murder mystery beats appear again and again, yet somehow we’re gripped and sitting on the edges of our seats every time—at least when these classic elements are spun in new and inventive ways that feel fresh....

But my smartphone comes along with me everywhere, making it the perfect device for killing time when I’m away from home for whatever reason—and there’s no better time-killer than mobile games. Unfortunately, a lot of mobile games require Wi-Fi or data these days, even when the game itself is single-player. It doesn’t make much sense from the player’s perspective, but it happens. And that means those mobile games can’t be played when you have no Wi-Fi or data....

It’s hard to narrow down HBO’s long list of great original series, but we’ve tried to sort out and rank the best-of-the-best in our list below. Here are the best HBO TV series to watch if you haven’t already! We’ve picked from HBO’s long and storied history, from long-running series to limited run miniseries....

In the 1950s, popular characters were ones who were brave, moral, and examples of how to be an upstanding citizen. Jimmy Stewart, James Bond, Charlie Chaplin—these were the personalities of Hollywood’s Golden Age when the good guys always won. Indeed, the word “hero” comes from the Greek term for “defender” or “protector.” Heroes were typically mortal descendants of gods—something we see nowadays in the likes of Superman. But fast-forward to the 21st century and suddenly we’re met with a very different selection of “heroes....

One of the first shows to spin off from it, The Flash, has proven to have staying power even after the conclusion of Oliver Queen’s story. With its lighter tone and willingness to lean into the weirder side of comics, The Flash turned out to be the best DC show in a generation. With the eighth season of The Flash underway, we’ve had countless adventures of Barry and his crew of nerdy superheroes as they come up against both heroes and villains from across the multiverse....

You probably never saw them—and you probably don’t even know what they look like to this day—but voice actors are the unsung heroes who have the ability to bring life and energy to drawn characters. Voice actors have the ability to shift their voices to fit all kinds of characters, and they deserve more recognition for the skill involved. And one side effect of this is that you’ve probably heard the same voice actor in multiple shows without even realizing it!...

His movies inspire a kind of confusion that compels you toward deep investigation and reflection. But few directors are like Lynch. Most directors set out to evoke a specific emotion or leave you with a particular message in mind with the way their movies wrap up....
