It looks like HTC is working on a new mid-range smartphone currently named as the Ocean Life. Well, at least according to HTC's glorious leaker of all time LlabTooFeR, who shared the news on Twitter.

The leaker claims that the upcoming smartphone will sport a 5.2-inch display with Full HD resolution and will be powered by the Snapdragon 660 chipset. It will feature two 16 MP cameras (front and rear), pack a 2,600 mAh battery, and run Android 7.1.1 Nougat with HTC’s Sense 9.0 on top.

What’s even more interesting is that the Ocean Life is said to come with the Edge Sense technology, which made its debut on the company’s flagship smartphone, the U11. It basically allows you to open an app of your choice just by squeezing the smartphone.

HTC’s upcoming smartphone will also have a pair of USonic headphones included in the box, which feature active noise cancellation and the ability to fine-tune the sound to your ear through “advanced sonar-like technology.”

Sadly, there’s no word on when exactly the smartphone will be released and how much it will cost for.

[ Tech News ] Google Assistant on Chromebooks

We’ve heard several times now through code commits and more that Assistant on Chromebooks is coming. However, nothing has really indicated exactly when this was going to happen. That is, until now. Hidden quietly within the Google Home app is a mention that some Assistant applications will work with Chromebooks. All Assistant apps list out which platforms they are compatible with through Assistant since, for example, some don’t work on phones, but do work on Google Home. Listed in the compatibility section of the Chat with your Assistant “game” right alongside phones, Google Home, and Allo is Chromebooks, clear as day. Not only is the text listed out, but a Chromebook icon shows up right along with those for Home and phones, so it seems pretty concrete that this is something Google intended to do, but just slipped out a little early.
