The final trailer for Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things 2’ is here!

It seems appropriate for Netflix to drop the final trailer of the second season of Stranger Things on Friday the 13^th. (Before that they dropped a teaser for the trailer inspired by the classic 1980 slasher film.) And we get to see more of our favorite Hawkins gang and the bigger threat they’re facing. And boy, does it look menacing.

If you can’t watch the trailer immediately, here’s the synopsis for Stranger Things 2: “It’s 1984 and the citizens of Hawkins, Indiana are still reeling from the horrors of the Demogorgon and the secrets of Hawkins Lab. Will Byers has been rescued from the Upside Down but a bigger, sinister entity still threatens those who survived.”

Google starts to integrate video calling to its built-in Phone, Contacts, and Android Messages apps

Here’s something Android users might be feeling envious over iOS users: the ability to start video calls right from Phone and Messages app. Google users, specifically those who have Pixel, Nexus, and Android One users, will soon be able to video call right from Phone, Contacts, and Android Messages apps.

To make this possible, Google is using its Duo video calling service and the ViLTE standard. The latter is an extension of the current VoLTE standard, which focuses on better video call quality over an LTE network. By default, video calls will be routed through ViLTE. That is if your carrier supports that standard. If they don’t, Google will route it through Duo. This means, you’ll need to have Duo installed and activated on your device. You also need to have the latest versions of the aforementioned apps. Later this year, Google also plans to give you the option to upgrade a voice call to a video call.
