These days, everything sounds more impressive if you tag the word 'gamer' to it. That's marketing at its best, but even then there comes a point where it feels silly. Specifically, what if there was a browser for gamers? That's what Opera GX Mobile is meant to be.

Today, Clubhouse for Android has finally made its way to Malaysia and everyone can now download it on the Google Play Store for free. As expected, it's still an invite-only app but you can still register a username before your friend invites you into it.

Other than conventional internet browsers, we also have the gaming browser OperaGX from Opera. After being offered to desktop users for some time, the browser maker is now bringing it to mobiles. With that said, the OperaGX Mobile will become the first-ever mobile gaming browser for gamers.

During the Google I/O event, Google mentioned that the upcoming Android 12 smartphone comes equipped with a feature that lets you unlock your car using an Android smartphone.

We have been writing a few posts about Clubhouse now and it seems that the global launch is ready. According to the official Clubhouse Twitter account, the app will be rolling out around the world this week. While no date was specified, sources say it would be this Friday.

Since its establishment in 2018, POCO's devices have been using customized MIUI as it's a sub-brand of Xiaomi.

The spread of misinformation often happens on social media platforms as everything is one click away, especially during the pandemic.

With the feature, Facebook hopes that users won't judge the news by the headlines and will read into them carefully before sharing with family and friends.

Tweeting is one of the ways for us to express our feelings or thoughts on particular topics. Today, Twitter has rolled out a new feature that allows users to tip someone who has "amazing voices" on the social media platform. However, the new feature has been criticized for a few factors.

Spotify has brought a design change to its Android and iOS app today. The new version of 'Your Library' allows users to explore their collections of music more easily and find saved songs/podcasts faster. Besides that, there are also different settings added for users to have more control over the content.

Based on a statement by Clubhouse on notion.so, it seems that they have started rolling out beta version of the Clubhouse app to Android users. With that in mind, we can expect the clubhouse app to be officially available on Android within a few months.
