In a move to bring the perfect all-screen phone, Xiaomi became the first company to announce an almost perfect, if not ideal, illustration of this concept with the Mi Mix Alpha. To say that this was the perfect full-screen phone is undoubtedly an understatement. The Mi Mix Alpha had a screen that wraps around the phone, extending all the way to the back of the device. That made the phone deliver a never-been-seen before screen-to-body ratio of over 100% – to be specific, 180.6%. The futuristic phone was announced in September 2019 and was supposed to hit the shelves come…

The two are Samsung’s new phones that are the budget models of their 2019’s Galaxy Note 10 and S10 flagship phones.

Torrents have long been the alternative way for downloading movies and TV shows for those who don’t want to pay for streaming platforms. Streaming sites are not priced as much, but to some, that is a lot of money to churn out every month. Torrentfreak has shared a list of 2019’s most pirated TV shows, which is quite predictable.
