Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that "at least half a dozen" countries were considering moving their embassies to Jerusalem following the U.S. decision to do so. U.S. President Donald Trump announced in December that the United States recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, infuriating even Washington’s Arab allies and dismaying Palestinians who want the eastern part of the city as their capital. The U.S. Embassy is due to relocate to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv on May 14, the date on which Israel declared its independence in 1948. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2vvfVPJ via Latest News

The Meizu 15 and 15 Plus are relentless when it comes to benchmarks. First the Meizu 15 Plus revealed its Exynos 8895 chipset on AnTuTu, then the smaller Meizu 15 passed by Geekbench with a Snapdragon chip (either a 660 or 635) and now it's the 15 Plus' first run on Geekbench. The chipset isn't specified, other than its cores and clock speed (8x1.69GHz) but we have no reason to doubt that it's the same Exynos 8895 that is used in Samsung's 2017 flagship phones.
