Lenovo Launches the K8 Note in India, Comes with Stock Android and 4,000mAh Battery
Lenovo has launched the new Lenovo K8 Note in India. With a Helio X23 SoC and dual rear cameras, can the K8 Note compete against the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4?
India remains a hotspot for competition in the entry level as more and more OEMs attempt to attract customers in the budget segment. For the most part, a budget device in 2017 can serve the needs of the casual or mainstream consumer, leaving many customers wondering if they really should be spending exorbitant amounts on smartphones that would be marginally better for their limited needs. Such customers are the perfect target for phones like the Lenovo K8 Note.
How to Freeze Any App's Background Processes without Root on Android 7.0+
This tutorial shows you how to freeze any app's background processes on Android 7.0 and 7.1 Nougat without root by using a hidden ADB command.
Android has always been considered the more "powerful" mobile platform when compared to iOS because of how much freedom its 3rd-party applications have. This enables a lot of automation to take place simply because Android applications can do more tasks while they're running in the background. However, this comes with a downside as it opens the door for potentially more battery drain thanks to background processes running on the device.
Anbox allows you to run Android apps on any GNU/Linux OS
Anbox allows you to run Android applications on any GNU/Linux operating system without dual booting, virtual machines, or remote desktops.
Thanks to the widespread proliferation of Google's Android, developers have flocked to the platform, creating millions of applications for it. Although Android is based on the Linux kernel much like desktop GNU/Linux operating systems, the desktop OSes have not attracted similar amounts of development efforts. That's not to say that GNU/Linux operating systems are failures (I run Ubuntu 16.04 on my own machine), but sometimes there are apps available for one platform that you wish you could quickly access on another. By quickly I mean without setting up a virtual machine, dual boot setup via the Android-x86 project, or using one of those remote desktop solutions. Thankfully, Anbox is here to solve that.
