‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ helps us remember the joy of watching MCU movies

It’s been weeks since Avengers: Infinity War came out and we’re still not over the devastation it caused. Thankfully, we have some sometimes pint-sized superheroes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to cheer us up a bit. Ant-Man and the Wasp just released a new somewhat lighthearted trailer for the upcoming Marvel film. It shows Scott Lang a.k.a. Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) talking to Hope Pym a.k.a. Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) about how they can stop Ghost, the film’s villain. So before, Avengers 4 hits theatres next year, we have something funnier from MCU to tide us through. The film is coming out in July.

Lenovo Z5 and its rumoured outrageous specs will make June 5th debut

There is a lot going on with the Lenovo Z5 (or ZUK Z5) that we’re not sure if the degree of its outrageousness might warrant some truth to it. Lenovo Group VP Chang Cheng announced on Weibo that the phone is debuting on June 5th, showing the official poster for the event. Cheng has been dropping hints about this device in the past few weeks. And one of the biggest things is that almost 95 percent screen-to-body ratio, which we see in the sketch above. The only other company who has gotten this close to this ratio is the Vivo Apex. A couple of the other hints he’s dropped include 4TB internal storage and up to 45 days of standby time. Now, whether these all ring true is something we’re going to find out in a few days.

Google tests horizontal tab switcher for its Chrome app on Android

One of the biggest changes Google is implementing in Android P is the horizontal orientation of the recent apps switcher. It seems this design change is making its way to the Chrome app on Android, too. The latest update to Chrome Canary (the unstable version of Chrome) shows a horizontal tab switcher, letting you see more of the page as you swipe left or right. You can close tabs by swiping up and down.

One of the other new things in Chrome includes how you interact with Incognito tabs. You can tap on the incognito icon in the upper right corner to open all of them. If you want to switch back, you just need to tap the icon again. If you want to try this out before the official Chrome app gets it, you’ll need to install the Chrome Canary app from Google Play and then bring out the flags by typing chrome://flags in the search box, find the #enable-horizontal-tab-switcher and then enable it.
