Nintendo Switch Online app goes live

The Nintendo Switch Online app was scheduled to come out on July 21st but the app is now available for download for both iOS and Android Switch users. There isn’t much to see at the moment since the first game it supports, Splatoon 2, is coming out on Friday. When that launches, players will be able to use the app's voice chat feature with a special Splatoon hub. At the moment, though, it seems Nintendo is still working to stabilize the app's servers, which hopefully will help them avoid the fiasco during Pokèmon Go's launch. So don't be surprised if you can't log in yet. But when it does go fully live, you'll just need to sign in with your Nintendo account.

LG V30 specs show up on GeekBench

With the LG V30 coming out at the end of August, which is the day before IFA kicks off in Berlin, anticipation is high for the new flagship. Now, we get to see more about the device as it’s been spotted on GeekBench app. It seems to be sporting the same specs that flagships coming out this year have: a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and 4GB of RAM. It’ll also reportedly run on the latest version of Android Nougat (7.1.2). Based on the GeekBench leak, it shows that the multicore score of the V30 is well over the 6,300 mark but it still doesn’t beat the Xiaomi Mi 6 with its score over 6,700. That said, benchmark scores aren’t the only indicators whether a device will work well in real life. We’d just have to wait for the device to launch on August 31^st in Germany.
