New photos leak the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus' stunning edge-to-edginess

It's no secret that Samsung's cooking up a big launch for its flagship Galaxy S8 line of smartphones next week (CanadianReviewer will be on hand in NYC for the big unveiling). This anticipated device, which has already been seen in various purported leaks, now gets another photoset thanks to AndroidMX, who seems to have gotten hold of a unit.

This photo shows just how slight the bezels are and how distinct the edge-to-edge display is. The look is quite stunning and its the closest thing to a bezel-less handset we've seen so far.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted a Twitter video of the first drive of the anticipated Tesla Model 3, which has 400,000 pre-orders and which is sold-out to mid-2018. The Model 3 Release Candidate is unlikely to change very much from the actual production version. Musk also hinted at a performance version of the Model 3, one with dual motors and all-wheel drive. Looks like the Model 3 is getting closer for those who pre ordered the more consumer friendly EV.

Facebook finally tries out GIFs in main app but only for comments

After keeping it away from its main app for years, Facebook is conceding a bit when it comes to posting GIFs. But at the moment it’ll be limited to posting GIFs as comments and not as a post on the News Feed. And it is currently available to a small number of users as Facebook tests out the feature. It’ll work pretty similar to how you post GIFs in Messenger, where you can browse trending GIFs or look for specific reactions to share.

Facebook is quick to say that they are currently just testing out the feature. In a statement to TechCrunch: “Everyone loves a good GIF and we know that people want to be able to use them in comments. So we’re about to start testing the ability to add GIFs to comments and we’ll share more when we can, but for now we repeat that this is just a test.” But who knows if people use it often enough, they might roll it out to more users.

‘The Other Room’ comes to Daydream VR

Escape rooms are a big thing lately. Now, here’s a digital version of that. Called The Other Room, this Daydream VR game requires you solve puzzles in order to escape rooms. Aside from the puzzles, the game mixes in immersive audio and what Android Police calls as bizarre 360-degree video segments. Your goal is to foil your rival’s plans but of course there will be obstacles along the way to throw you off. If you own a Daydream VR and have a Daydream-compatible phone, this game from Minority Media VR Inc. comes with a onetime payment of US$4.99.
