While 2018 was a year of hardships for many smartphone manufacturers, OnePlus was an anomaly. Not only did it have great smartphone sales, but it also achieved more than a few major milestones — all of which represent the company’s continued growth and success. Even hiccups like a massive breach of credit card security, and user backlash at the lack of a headphone jack in the OnePlus 6T didn’t slow the company down. OnePlus took it all in stride and came out on top. With 5G service right around the corner and untapped market segments yet to be exploited, OnePlus has plenty of room to continue its winning streak in 2019.

The Living Hope Ministries app promotes practices aligning with gay conversion therapy. The controversial app was removed from the Apple and Amazon app stores but remains on the Google Play Store. Gay conversion therapy is denounced by almost every prestigious medical institution. A controversial mobile application used as a gay conversion therapy tool was recently removed from the Apple App Store and the Amazon App Store. However, the app is still active on the Google Play Store, and that isn’t sitting well with the activist group that pushed for the app’s removal. The Living Hope Ministries app is a collection of audio and video recordings of Bible verses, devotionals, and other Christian teachings. However, the Living Hope Ministries establishment is primarily focused on gay conversion therapy, i.e. trying to change an individual’s sexual orientation from homosexual or bisexual to heterosexual using psychological or spiritual interventions. LGBT rights organization Truth Wins Out started petitions to get the app removed from the various online stores. The petitions helped bring down the app from Apple’s and Amazon’s platforms, according to Newsweek. However, the Play Store listing is still active as of publishing this article.

Looking back at the history of cell phones, one of the most iconic handsets was the Motorola Razr. In a world of plastic clamshell and candy bar-style phones, the Razr introduced style, slim designed, and revolutionized the mobile world. According to the Wall Street Journal (via The Verge), the Chinese-owned company might try it again by releasing a new Motorola Razr with a foldable screen. The comeback of the Motorola Razr looks to be of limited scope initially. According to the WSJ, the handset will be exclusive to Verizon in the U.S. and will cost $1,500. As the company is reportedly looking to manufacture over 200,000 units, it must believe consumers will pay the high price tag to try out a first-gen foldable smartphone and own the next Razr phone. Unfortunately, despite allegedly having insider information about Motorola’s plans, the WSJ was unable to provide any details about the upcoming phone’s design or specifications. This isn’t the first time that it has been believed that Motorola would launch a new Razr. For several years now, company representatives have repeatedly teased us with a comeback of the brand. Excluding the devices launched in 2011 and 2012 that used the name, there has not been any real rerelease of the iconic handset.
