[ad_1] Perhaps the ZenFone 6’s most notable feature is its flippable camera. There’s no native front-facing lens (or notch). Instead, you can flip up the rear dual lenses to put your phone in selfie mode. The handset includes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, up to 8GB of RAM and a maximum 256GB of built-in storage.

ASUS’ ROG Phone II combines high-spec power with accessory spectacle
[ad_1] The most interesting part here is the accessories.

Another […]

Pushing a 28-core CPU to its limits: 6GHz and beyond
[ad_1] The usual precautions apply. The motherboard has to be insulated with dielectric grease to fend off any accidental drops of water. Likewise, paper towel lines the gap between each memory slot, and then yet more paper towel wraps around the pot and memory sticks, to soak up condensation. A small fan helps blow the […]
ASUS’ latest WiFi 6 router looks appallingly normal
[ad_1] Spec-wise, these new routers use Broadcom chipsets and support up to tri-band 6,600Mbps WiFi connectivity. That’s significantly faster than the maximum 4,804Mbps speed on their predecessor, the RT-AX92U in the AiMesh AX6100 kit. Furthermore, the new routers use WiFi 6 for both backhaul (between mesh routers) and front-haul (between routers and client devices) connections, […]

ASUS’ ZenFone 6 has a flippable camera and giant battery
[ad_1] ASUS decided to throw in a generous 5,000mAh battery here, while most other phones tend to top out at 4,000mAh. The engineers went to great lengths to justify this decision: It was either a smaller capacity with super fast charging or a larger capacity within the same battery size, but slower charging. ASUS went […]
The best mini desktop PCs
[ad_1] Why you should trust us I worked at Lifehacker for over six years, where I wrote tons of how-to guides for macOS, Windows, and Linux. I’ve also tested, tweaked, and broken a variety of computers of all shapes and sizes, and I’ve been building PCs on and off since the ’90s. Here at Wirecutter, […]
Hackers hijacked update server to install backdoors on ASUS machines
[ad_1] With access to the update server, the attackers were able to distribute malicious files that appeared legitimate because they were given an ASUS digital certificate to make them appear to be authentic. Instead, the phony software updates gave the attackers a backdoor to access infected devices. Kaspersky estimates that about half a million Windows […]
Facebook only cares about privacy because it has to
[ad_1] That’s great and all, but why is Facebook suddenly interested in taking this approach? After all, the company has built its entire business model around people sharing things publicly. While Zuckerberg has been hinting at this new strategy in recent earnings calls, it’s now clear that it’s no longer just an idea. It will […]
