Google Pixel 2 case leaks showing rear-facing fingerprint sensor

The second-generation Google Pixel smartphones are expected to be launched sometime in the fourth quarter of this year. As we are already in the third quarter, the details regarding the next iteration of Pixel phones are constantly hitting the web giving us an idea of how they might look like.

This year's Pixel smartphones are likely to be known as the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2. With the launch date of these smartphones drawing closer, the number of leaks surrounding these phones has also increased. The latest leak regarding these smartphones comes from Slashleaks in the form of a leaked case. The alleged Pixel 2 case seems to feature a cutout for the fingerprint sensor at the rear tipping that there could be a rear-facing fingerprint sensor on board the device as in the yesteryear models. This makes us believe that Google is not too interested in positioning the fingerprint sensor at the front or under the screen for now while the others are trying something different than usual. Recently, we came across a report tipping that the upcoming Google Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 might feature Always On display as seen on select Samsung and Motorola smartphones. One thing that we know is that Google will release two variants of the Pixel smartphones this year. These could be the 5-inch Pixel 2 carrying the codename Walleye and a bigger variant with a 6-inch display with the codename Taimen. Previously, the reports pointed out at a third variant codenamed Muskie, which was later claimed to be dropped by Google.

Already, we’ve taken a close look at two products from its new line, the Samsung Level In and Level Box , that have proven to be surprisingly good when it comes down to audio quality. Hopefully, we can be assured that we’ll experience the same thing with the Samsung Level On, which as its name so happens to imply, is a pair of on-the-ear headphones. From the looks of it, Samsung has opted to go with a uniform design language with its new headphones line. Unlike the premium nature of its portable Bluetooth speaker, the Level Box, the Level On employs the same design characteristics as Samsung’s Level In headphones. Unfortunately, for a...

Facebook has been tweaking News Feed content to play with our emotions Proof: Facebook affects your mood More negative posts in the news feed can affect user emitions A Facebook News Feed packed with negative status updates from peers is more likely to spur individual users to follow suit, a news study carried out by the social network has shown. The company's experiment artificially tweaked the feeds of 689,003 users to show more downcast or more positive updates from their friends over the period of a week. The results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science showed a direct correlation between the emotions conveyed in the users' own posts over that period of time. While it's unsurprising that something sad or happy happening to a large number of close friends and acquaintances can affect our emotions, the study offers proof social media is affecting the mood of users, for better our worse.
