Google has just pushed the first update to Google Glass, the first one in three years. Google Glass was launched back in October 2014 but never really attracted mainstream consumers to buy it.

Every year, Infinix unveils a new phablet under its ‘Note’ series. Devices under this series are known for their big sizes and equally big batteries.
