Leaked render shows what the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active looks like

Earlier today, we got to see the leaks of the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active and now we’re getting to see what the phone might look like. Evan Blass (@evleaks) showed off a new press render of the device. And it looks similar to the current Samsung flagships with its 18:5:9 aspect ratio but without the curved edges, which Android Authority points out makes it look like the LG G6. What do you think? Do you prefer this look over the S8 with its curved edges?

‘The Revenge of Shinobi’ comes to Android and iOS

In case you missed the news, the 1989 classic SEGA game The Revenge of Shinobi joins the SEGA Forever initiative. The program brings many of the classic SEGA titles to mobile devices. This time we’re getting the side-scrolling beat ‘em up. The Revenge of Shinobi, like the other SEGA Forever titles, will be free-to-play but will support ads. The game also lets you play it with a Bluetooth controller and play offline, which the other games can’t do. It has four difficulty levels and eight districts with its own unique boss battles. If you want to try it out yourself, it’s available on both iOS and Android.

Honolulu bans use of smartphones at crosswalks

If you find yourself in Honolulu any time soon, make sure to not text while you cross the street. The Hawaiian city just passed a law that will fine people who are using their phone while crossing the street. Starting October 25^th, Hawaiian authorities can fine first time offenders for looking at devices (even laptops and digital cameras) between US$15 and $35. It can go as high as US$99, depending on whether you’re a repeat offender. The only exemption is if you’re calling emergency services while crossing.

The Distracted Walking Law is important for the city. According to Mayor Kirk Caldwell, the city has more crosswalk impacts than “almost any other city” in the US.
