| International Oppo Find 7 goes up for pre-order April 7th Posted: 29 Mar 2014 05:05 PM PDT
It was last week we saw the Oppo Find 7 officially go up for sale in its homeland of China. Offered up in 2 versions, Oppo announced that the regular 1080p version would be available sometime in mid-April, with the super premium spec’d out version arriving about a month later. For those that have their hearts set on this beast of a smartphone, Oppo has announced that the Find 7a (aka 1080p international version) will officially be up for pre-sale on Monday, April 7th. They mentioned something about a special promotion offer for those that pre-order, but unfortunately were mum on exact details.
The Oppo Find 7a will be available for $500, with the premium version expected to hit $600. The Find 7 will also come in black and white color options, and if you needed a quick refresher on the specs, you can find those below.

| Flop Fu could be the best fighting game on Android [DOWNLOAD] Posted: 29 Mar 2014 03:53 PM PDT
What happens when you combine the nostalgia of old-school 2D-fighters with the frustrating controls of QWOP? Like peanut and pepperoni pizza (seriously, try it), you get something truly unexpected and dare we say it… magical. That game is Flop Fu, and it’s all new to the Google Play Store. Flop Fu’s name may not sound too inspired, but we assure you this fighting game is unlike anything you’ve ever played. Equal parts challenging, and a raging good time, you’ll be laughing your ass off while trying to gain victory by ripping the head and limbs off your opponent. The game works like this, you have 2 controls on each side of the screen: the left controls your “flail” (arm/legs), while the right controls your characters “flop” (jumping, general movement). When the match starts, you must flail and flop your way to victory either by completely forgetting your training and spazzing out, or by taking a cooler, more controlled method to your fighting. Really, there’s no wrong answer.
Because Flop Fu’s characters feature real-time rag doll physics, the game is anything but easy. Like the Play Store listing suggests, it’s easy to pick up, but difficult to master. Most of the time, both opponents will just be flopping around on the floor (like that scene from The Wolf of Wall Street scene where Leo and Jonah are fighting on the floor), flailing their limbs in hopes they’ll eventually connect (protect/go for the head, it takes the most damage).
There’s 16 character to choose from (2 that are unlockable via in-app purchase of $1) and include everything from boxers, to ninjas, zombies and my personal favorite, the hipster. If you’re feeling especially retro, there’s a button that will give the characters an old-school pixelated feel. Honestly, you’re just going to have to try it out for yourself. At worst, you’ll have a good laugh and be on your way. The best part about Flop Fu is that it’s absolutely free to download where you can go at it alone in single player, or battle it out online with random strangers via Google Play Games. So check it out, and may the best man (or woman) win.

| Samsung Galaxy S5 breaks street date in Korea, rest of the world still waiting Posted: 29 Mar 2014 02:29 PM PDT
Originally scheduled for an April 11th worldwide launch, the Samsung Galaxy S5′s big release seems to have been upstaged in, where else, but its homeland of Korea. There, the phone is now unofficially available for purchase, a full 2 weeks ahead of Samsung’s planned release date. The reason? Apparently it had something to do with a 45-day ban on new smartphone activations after major Korean telecoms were found guilty of illegally subsidizing new customers. This would have interrupted the global launch of the Galaxy S5 for Korea, something carriers like SK Telecom wasn’t about to let happen. Samsung doesn’t sound too happy with the break in street date, and is currently investigating the situation. With the Samsung Galaxy S5 already up for pre-order from all major carriers in the US, the phone on many will begin shipping on April 11th (except for AT&T, which begins on the 8th). For those interested, you can pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S5 at T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T (ships on April 8th), and Verizon Wireless. [Cnet] |
