Here’s a better look at 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' from SDCC

Dan Fogler’s Jacob Kowalski echoed a sentiment we shared at the end of the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them trailer: “I want to be a wizard.” And just getting to see more of what the new J.K. Rowling film is all about gets us extra excited. Debuting at Hall H at the San Diego Comic-Con, Fantastic Beasts’s shows us Eddie Redmayne’s Newt Scamander smuggling magical creatures into the U.S. that somehow managed to escape. He wants to recapture them and keep them from “the most vicious creatures on the planet” a.k.a. humans. He enlists the help of Porpetina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston), a witch from the Magical Congress of the United States of America, and Kowalski. Of course, he’s being hunted by an intimidating and villainous-looking auror Percival Graves (Colin Farrell). There’s just a lot of things we’re excited for with Fantastic Beasts and we can’t wait for its release this November.

DC heightens our expectations with new ‘Wonder Woman’ and ‘Justice League’ trailers

DC looks like they’re taking themselves a lot less seriously while packing in  all that action with the new look at Wonder Woman and the Justice League. For me, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman was the best thing about Batman v. Superman so seeing her kick ass in her own film is a delight to see. It’s especially amazing, and definitely long overdue, that we get a female superhero lead. We just have to wait until June 2017 finally see if the film is just as amazing as the trailer.

Lenovo promises to bring Android Security Updates to the Moto Z and G

If we were to think about one good thing about the Motorola brand before, it was the stock version of Android it ran that received software updates and security patches quickly. But now that it’s under Lenovo, people have been questioning if the tech company will be able to release timely updates, including the monthly security updates Google releases. Some were pointing out it took Lenovo three months to release a security update for the Moto X Pure and this might carry over to the new Moto Z and Moto G4 phones.

A representative from Lenovo told Digital Times in an email that the Moto Z, Moto Z Force, and Moto G Family will support the Android Security Bulletin patches and “they will receive an update shortly after launch with additional patches.” However, they didn’t specify how often or up-to-date the patches will be. Tech companies are notorious for taking their time to release updates. Let’s just hope they buck this trend.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 tipped to be getting a 3,500mAh battery

Here’s more Samsung Galaxy Note 7 news for you. It looks like the phablet’s battery will be somewhere in between of the Galaxy S7 and the S7 edge, if a recent leak is to be believed. South Korea Telecom accidentally leaked a baseline variant of the Galaxy Note 7 with the model number SM-N930S showing what its battery capacity is. At 3,500mAh, it does lean more towards the S7 edge with just 100mAh less capacity, while the S7 comes built with a 3,000mAh battery.

Some of the other details have been leaked before including putting in an iris scanner (which Samsung has confirmed), a curved display, 4GB of RAM, a 64GB internal storage that’s expandable to 25GB via microSD.
