Last week’s poll summary: Last week, we asked you which is the better battle royale game: PUBG or Fortnite. Out of over 48,000 total votes, roughly 65 percent of voters on Facebook and Instagram said they prefer PUBG. On the website, YouTube, and Twitter polls, about 45 percent said they prefer PUBG over Fortnite, while many folks said they don’t care for either game. Check out the full polling results here.


The LG G3 was one of the first phones with a Quad HD screen. Since the first time I saw it in real life, I was hooked. 1080p screens just couldn’t do it for me anymore.

Yeah, I know — unless you’re really looking, it’s hard to tell the difference between a Full HD display (1920 x 1080) and a Quad HD (2560 x 1440) one. But to me, the display is one of the most important aspects of the phone. It’s the one component that you stare at every day. If your phone has a bad screen, you’re going to notice it every single day.

After a few years of fawning over those high-res screens, though, I’ve since come around to the idea of sporting a 1080p display. After all, the phone doesn’t have to power as many pixels, which oftentimes results in better battery life.
