Remember that Seinfeld episode when Jerry and his crew get lost in a shopping mall’s parking lot trying to find where they left their car? Most of us have been in the situation of not remembering where we parked, but now Google comes to our aid.
The search giant is rolling a new feature in Google Maps which will help drivers identify the location of their car. The new option is available for both Android and iOS users, but can be access in different ways.
In Android, car owners need to tap the blue dot that shows their location on the map and then tap on the “Save your parking”. Once the saving is successful, a label will appear on the map showing the location of their vehicle.
Taping on the label opens up a parking card that can be populated with more info about the parking spot. Back to our Seinfeld example, you can add info like “level 3, spot 35” if you parked in a shopping mall’s multi-floor parking lot. What’s more drivers can add a reminder alert or even an image of the parking spot.
To make it even more simple, if you connect to your car via USB audio or Bluetooth, the parking spot will automatically be added to the map when the phone is disconnected and the user exits the vehicle.
The feature is currently available for use, provided you have updated Google Maps to the latest version.
Customers looking for a phablet-sized phone will probably prefer the 6-inch display of the new ZTE Blade Max 3. By contrast, the ZTE Blade V8 Pro has a smaller – albeit big enough by most standards – 5.5-inch screen. Both models enjoy fullHD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels).
When it comes to processing power, both phones take advantage of the Snapdragon 625 SoC which is an octa-core affair made up of eight Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and Adreno 506 GPU.
The dual camera setup on both phones appears to be similar. The ZTE Blade Max 3’s main camera consists of a 13-megapixel sensor with PDAF (phase detection autofocus) plus a 13-megapixel mono sensor. As for the ZTE Blade V8 Pro, it offers a main camera pretty much along the same lines.
Despite launching only a few days ago, the ZTE Blade Max 3 runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, just like the ZTE Blade V8 Pro which was announced five months ago. We don’t know whether either models will get Android 7.0 Nougat further down the line, but we certainly hope this will be the case. Last month, the ZTE Blade V8 Pro received its first software update, but Android 7.0 Nougat wasn’t included. Disappointing!
Given that the ZTE Blade Max 3 has a larger 6-inch display, it’s natural the phone boasts a larger 4,000 mAh battery (of the non-removable sort), while the ZTE Blade V8 Pro takes advantage of only a 3,140 mAh battery.
The renders were obtained by the publication from persons with knowledge of the device and who have probably even worked with it. Naturally we’re talking about prototype units and not the finished product, but given that the OnePlus 5 should in theory make it out into the world this summer, we tend to believe not much will change.
As usual, the deal comes with some restrictions like video streaming being limited to 480p. Another notable issue with this plan is that it doesn’t include tethering or mobile hotspot features. Big Red also says it may throttle prepaid users, but it did not share any info about a data cap.
The new plan comes to complete Verizon’s list of already existing 2GB, 5GB and 10GB data plans, as well as the carrier’s $30 basic phone plan with unlimited text and talk. 
To make things even clearer, this is what you’ll get with Sprint’s new Unlimited Freedom promo. Note that the subscriber is required to sign up with AutoPay, which adds $5 of savings every month:
Designed to handle drops from as high as six feet, the Octane is one tough case. The dual-infused material is strong, rigid, and everything else that keeps your device tucked in safely. The grip along the outer edge feels fantastic and works well when your hand, or the G6, is wet. 
A little more sophisticated looking than the others here, this case has a fabric material on the exterior that simply feels great. The metal accents give it just enough pop to stand out without adding any weight. It’s actually quite light in the hand. Don’t be fooled, though, it’s got it where it counts. The impact-resistant TPU frame disperses the shock of accidental drop to keep your beloved phone safe and sound.
