HTC Desire 12+

Image
The Desire 12+ is mostly similar to the Desire 12, but with a few key differences. It comes along with a 6-inch IPS LCD display with the same 720x1440 resolution. A Snapdragon 450 chipset clicks alongside 3GB of RAM, while users still have less than 32GB of native storage at their fingertips. The real intriguing selling point of the larger device, however, is its dual rear camera that consists adds a 2MP depth-sensing camera to the regular 13MP f/2.2 unit and lets you snap portraits with a shallow depth of field, or "bokeh" in layman's terms. At the front, the selfie camera grows to 8MP and now has an f/2.0 aperture for better low-light selfies. from PhoneArena - Phones https://ift.tt/2GKshWk via Latest Devices

At the back, we find a 13MP f/2.2 camera with phase-detection autofocus and auto-HDR, whereas the selfie unit is a 5MP f/2.4 one.

Roseanne Barr’s outburst on ‘Kimmel’ wins cheers

Image
“I’ve always liked Roseanne, she holds nothing back.” “Finally someone on a talk show with a dissenting opinion.” After her headline-making appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Rosie’s got Newsroom commenters talking — and applauding. Things got a bit awkward during the Thursday appearance. Barr, who voted for President Trump (and makes no apologies), shut down the late-night host after he questioned her political views. A defiant Roseanne replied: “A lot of us, no matter who we voted for, we don’t want to see our president fail.” Then came the bleeps: “Because we don’t want [Mike] Pence! Are you f***ing kidding me? You want Pence? You want Pence for the freaking president? Well, then, zip that f***ing lip.” Newsroom has her back. See the video above for more responses. Kimmel and Barr’s little debate ended with some laughs, and the two agreeing to disagree. What do you think of Roseanne Barr’s outburst?

The vast dump of plastic waste swirling in the Pacific ocean is now bigger than France, Germany and Spain combined -- far larger than previously feared -- and is growing rapidly, a study published Thursday warned. Researchers based in the Netherlands used a fleet of boats and aircraft to scan the immense accumulation of bottles, containers, fishing nets and microparticles known as the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" (GPGP) and found an astonishing build-up of plastic waste. "We found about 80,000 tonnes of buoyant plastic currently in the GPGP," Laurent Lebreton, lead author of the study published in the journal Scientific Reports, told AFP. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2GPugIR via Latest News

BMW sold more than 100,000 cars with plugs last year, adding together its battery-electric and plug-in hybrid models. The company has put far more plug-in cars on the road to date than its German counterparts, both Daimler and the massive Volkswagen Group, and it has aggressive plans for 25 electric models by 2025—split between 12 all-electric and 13 plug-in hybrid models. BMW sold just over 2 million vehicles globally under its own brand in 2017, but plans for much higher volumes of electric cars won't kick in until 2020. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2DQQXJH via Latest News
