Top of the list are a 64-bit Snapdragon 810 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of onboard storage and a secure fingerprint scanner.

A surprising and welcome feature addition is dual-SIM capability, which is ideal for world travelers needing the convenience of keeping their home SIM and phone number but who want the option of using a prepaid SIM for local calls. Also on tap is the new USB Type-C connector which features the ability for power as well as ease of connectivity.

Star and create your own music video with Triller

The new iOS app Triller is a music video creator that doesn’t need you to have any editing chops. The app is designed to let you shoot a video from part of or one entire song from your library of featured tracks or your own collection. You then shoot multiple takes that can run for the entire length of the clip. Shoot as many takes as you want and customize these with the app’s 14 available filters. The app will then automatically edit these takes to turn it into one music video. Think of the app as your personal professional editor. Of course, you can share these on social media. I want to stay positive and think this is going to give birth to the next great pop star.
