AMD Unveils the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition: Vega Starts in the Pros
It feels like the build-up to Vega has been just shy of forever. And in a way it has been: AMD first announced the architecture back in March of 2016, and we’ve known for almost as long that Polaris would be a volume play, not a play for the high performance market. It would be Vega that would be AMD’s next high-end GPU, and true successor to 2015’s unique (if mistimed) Fiji GPU. Since then AMD has slowly been releasing details on the Vega architecture.

That source apparently told BGR that the iPad Mini has been "sized out of its own category" and indicated that iPad Mini sales data supports the company's plan to kill this product category.

LG G6 In A Drop Test
Ben Sin The Galaxy S8 (left) and the LG G6 (right). We are almost at the halfway mark of 2017 (!) and it appears that we have three major smartphone trends this year. They are dual-cameras, no headphone jack, and ultra slim-bezels. The first one is mostly a good thing, as some implementations have found real ways to take advantage of a second lens. The no headphone jack thing is just stupid (I can't stop rolling my eyes at all the lame excuses phonemakers throw out.
