Is VidMate Harmful for You?

If you have Android or iOS, you have probably heard of VidMate – the app that lets you download videos from many different platforms. With this app, you can stream and download videos from Dailymotion, YouTube or Facebook, by bypassing the restrictions of these websites.

It even lets you watch TV shows from about 200 channels. But many people have said that the app is actually a thread. Is it true, though?

It is not a virus

Some people have said that, because you don’t get it from the Google Play Store, it is not safe. Truth be told, it is not there because it does not meet the policies of Google about downloading videos from YouTube – which the company owns. The app does not modify your system without your permission.

It does not steal your identity

If an app requires you to give the personal info, it’s a red sign. Don’t give your personal info – we are talking about your credit card details – before you can actually use the app. VidMate is no such app, it does not require you to provide any personal info.

The app has millions of downloads

The app has about 500 million of users, which means that it was not downloaded for nothing. It’s one of the best apps on iOS and Android – it’s safe and free. By having it on your device, you can download whichever video you want, in many formats. The quality options range from 360p to 1080p.

It is true, the app comes with pop-up advertisements, but that will not allow the ads to slow down the performance, or infect your device with some kind of virus.

Without any doubt, it is one of the most useful apps out there. It comes with many benefits and it is such a shame that people believe that it can get a virus on their devices.

Borderlands 3 Is Not on the Epic Games Store Mega Sale Anymore. Do We Know Why?

2K Games has taken a big decision: they removed Borderlands 3 from the Epic Games Store Mega Sale. You can still pre-order the game, but the $10 discount will no longer apply. Some people say that the discount from Epic is still available, which means that you can get the game for a cheaper price. However, we expect 2K Games to honor those people who were able to get the game in pre-sale.

Why are not the games there anymore?

This actually means that Borderlands 3, Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 and Oxygen Not Included have all been deleted from the Epic Mega Sale. Games from Ubisoft are not there, either – it is probably because of some issues with the interaction between the Epic Games Store and Uplay. The games are not on the Epic’s store anymore.

Are there any public announcements from the game companies?

Up until now, neither Gearbox nor 2K Games have made statements or any public announcements about the removal of the game Borderlands 3 from the Mega Sale. Epic Games and Tim Sweeney are nowhere to be found, too. It seems that the publishers were not ready for this situation and this discount on their unreleased games.

But here is the good news

The good news is that Control, Detroit: Become Human and The Sinking City are still available for you at a cheaper price – a really low one, so make sure you get them as soon as possible.

About Borderlands 3

We know that your base is actually a spaceship. We also know that you can play the game offline and that you can, in fact, hijack the vehicles of your enemies.

Speaking of enemies, they are the worst human beings of the future. Also, it will take you about 30 hours to finish the main quest of the game – if you can finish it.

Xiaomi Poco F2 Price, Specs, and Release Date

Xiaomi’s new sub-brand Poco has unveiled its flagship smartphone named Poco F1 back in 2018, and it left great impressions. The tech company is expected to release its successor, the Poco F2 soon, and we are curious if the upcoming device will be as well received as its forerunner.

Numerous leaks have invaded the internet ever since the Poco F2 has been announced. The type of processor that will power the Poco F2 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855. The smartphone will have 6GB of RAM and 65GB of storage options, and also 8GB of RAM, 128GB and 256GB storage variants. To raise the level of the competition, Xiaomi may also design a 10GB RAM version.

​The upcoming device will have a 6.3-inch FHD+ notch display, and a 1080 x 2340​ screen resolution.

Poco F2 Camera

​The Xiaomi device might come with a triple camera array. Also, these options might also be available:

– Telephoto sensor and normal RGB

– Regular RGB and Monochrome sensor

– Telephoto and Wide angle

–  A powerful megapixel sensor and a regular RGB sensor –  this array to be used for a mixt zoom

A leak claims that the Poco F2 will come with a triple camera array of 48-megapixels Primary, 8-megapixels Telephoto, and 13-megapixels Wide-angled Sensor. All these enhancements will give a considerable improvement to the smartphone.

Since AI is now the most loved improvement, you can anticipate some impressive camera features such as object detection, and progress in AR integrated into the camera.

Poco F2 Software

The device’s software is a lower variant of MIUI, carrying numerous features for the incorporated app drawer. Some AI integrated into the UI, which will keep the device working as smooth as you first acquired it.

The Poco F1 is assured of receiving the latest updates at an accelerated pace, and then Xiaomi’s front-runners. But this remains to be seen as this lowered variant of MIUI is still atop Vanilla Android. In other words, the updates will be accelerated but not Android One-kind of quick.

Poco F2 Battery, Price, Release Date

​Xiaomi usually buys an ample supply of 4000Ah batteries each year so the Poco F2’s battery will be the same as Poco F1’s. The company also redesigned the fast charging system.

The price of the Poco F2 will be a slight update from the Poco F1’s price and should come with a cost of about $320 to $399, and the 10GB of RAM version would carry a price tag of $420 minimum.

The Xiaomi’s upcoming Poco F2 will be released in the second quarter of the year 2019, and it will be first made accessible in India (which is its leading market), Hong-Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, and other Asian markets.

Asus Zenfone 6: Specs and Price​ – What We Know So Far?

The upcoming Asus Zenfone 6 has officially been unveiled, and the new prototype is way more nonconformist than the Zenfone 5. The smartphone comes with a rotating camera where the top bezel was.

The entire device also shows a switch in target for Asus, which appears to be driven to design its niche in the device space and not copying Apple or Samsung. Where a typically hideous bar or a strange-looking hole-punch at the top of the device, the front of the Zenfone 6 is a consistent area of screen, looking impressive, even though the usual bezel still exists on the bottom.

What is important to mention is the fact that  Asus is keeping the price tag the same: the regular model with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage cost is about €​499, similar to the less impressive Zenfone 5.

The camera is quite amazing as well, with the rotating camera which might appear strange at first, but it is, in fact, a great and intelligent solution to the bezel problem.

The Asus Zenfone 6 comes with two lenses, a 48MP primary camera and a 13MP wide-angle lens that can be utilized for group selfies as well. The camera uses a customized stepper engine to flip the lenses around 180 degrees, allowing it to function as both front-facing and rear camera. Asus also implemented an automated system which detects if the phone is dropped, which will flip the lenses back.

The camera also has some smart features: the ability to take panorama captures by holding the device and allowing the camera to flip. There is also a motion-tracking option for video that enables the camera to change to keep the subject in focus at all times.

Besides the three models of the Zenfone 6, which start at a 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage space for €499, the company also plans to deliver two other models, finalizing with an 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage device.

The devices are powered by Snapdragon 855 processor, a Gorilla Glass 6 and aluminum carcass, a 5,000Ah battery and the specs mentioned above.

The launch date for the Zenfone 6 has not been announced yet, but it is expected to appear sometime in the next weeks.
