HTC One E9+ gets leaked in China

HTC doesn’t seem to be too good at keeping its devices under wraps. This time around its new One E9+ phablet shows up on the company’s Chinese site without a big launch. When compared with the flagship One M9, this one sheds the metal body for a half plastic, half metal casing at 7.499mm thick. It switches up the curved back for a flat design. And it has a 5.5-nch Quad HD screen with 534ppi, making it the sharpest display from the company.

It reportedly sports a 64-bit MediaTek MT6795M octa-core 2GHz processor, 16GB internal storage that is expandable via microSD up to 128GB, 3GB of RAM, dual nano SIM slots, and 2,800mAh battery. It also sports a 20-megapixel rear camera. Of course, you can expect it to have UltraPixel camera, BoomSound stereo speakers, and 802.11ac Wi-Fi and multi-mode LTE for data and voice connections. Since this was a leak, there isn’t a word yet about pricing and release date. Hopefully, we hear from HTC soon.

Volvo helps bikers been seen in the dark with reflective bike paint

If you’re a biker, you know that one of the most terrifying things to do is to ride a night. You can have reflectors on you and your bike but that doesn’t mean you’re completely safe. That’s why Volvo introduced a new LifePaint spray that is invisible during the day but reflects card headlights at night. You can coat it on your bike, clothing, helmet, and the like and it’ll last for around 10 days but you can also wash it off. It’s not something you can use in a rainstorm just yet.

It’s currently only available in six bike shops in London and Kent. There isn’t any word yet if it’ll be available elsewhere. It all depends on how they fare in these areas.
