The Xiaomi Mi 7 (aka Dipper) is still roaming the wild benchmark fields - the latest sighting provides us with a Geekbench 4.1 score from the Snapdragon 845-powered phone. The unit had 6GB of RAM while a previous leak showed 8GB, which suggests there will be two memory tiers (the Mi 6 was available with 4GB and 6GB RAM). Both the single and multi-core scores are in line with what we've seen of Snapdragon 845 chipsets. A strong showing from what is rumored to be a $475 phone (which will put in direct competition with the Zenfone 5z).

It's the Samsung Galaxy S9+'s time to get the iFixit disassembly treatment and for us to have a good look inside its beautiful glass and metal hull. The teardown starts off like you'd expect for a waterproof glass and metal phone - with a heatgun, opening pick and a lot of nervous prying. The battery is glued in place and required Adhesive Remover and a lot of know-how to remove. The camera is the more interesting component. Being the Galaxy S9+ it's the dual camera with the main variable aperture sensor and the second, tele sensor.

When a trained pharmacist met men regularly at their local Los Angeles barbershop, clients were able to significantly lower their blood pressure, said the findings released at the American College of Cardiology conference in Orlando, Florida. If employed on a broad scale, the approach could make major inroads in treating African-American men, a population that is more likely than other races to have high blood pressure --- a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke -- and less likely to be in a doctor's care, researchers said. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2FxzYlu via Latest News
