Google tweaks Inbox UI

If you’re one of the lucky ones with access to Google’s new invite-only email client Inbox, you might be seeing some changes in the visuals. Those who already have Android 5.0 Lollipop-powered will see that the status bar color changes to fit the action bar color. The action bar (for all using Inbox) is also now covered by the slide-out navigation menu. And you can now switch accounts by just swiping from the left to bring out the panel and then swipe again.

Sony unveils Movies Small App for Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact

Sony is letting you continue watching your films on a smaller window with its new app, Movies Small App. This feature has been available on Samsung devices for a while but better late than never we say. The catch is it currently only works with Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact. You activate it within the Movies app player through an icon. You can resize the window by dragging from the bottom right corner and there is a progress bar as well as play/pause functionality.
