Groove? Yes, Microsoft just rebranded its Xbox Music to Groove Music.

“Groove describes what people feel and do with music”

reasons Microsoft for this decision. There is no doubt that Microsoft has traveled a long road from Stephone Elop’s “burning platform” to Satya Nadella’s “Mobile first-Cloud first”. The journey started with Steve Ballmer’s decision to completely revamp Windows and introduction of Metro/ Modern design theory. This was followed by Microsoft’s new ‘more frequent less obvious’ Windows Update policy resembling that of Apple and Google. Yesterday the Redmond giant took another step towards its road to Windows 10.


After announcing new Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta last weekend, Microsoft has rebranded its Xbox Music app to Groove Music. 

“We’ve kept a keen eye on our existing entertainment fans to make sure the experiences which they enjoy and subscribe to today, will continue without any interruptions.” - Microsoft
  
There are no completely new features that you need to get excited about. If you have been using the (now) old Xbox Music app on your Windows PC or Phone you must have noticed that even though it is well integrated, it is not a universal app in its true sense. The new Groove Music, which has been designed keeping in my mind Microsoft’s Design Language 2, is a universal app like the new Mail and OneNote Beta apps in Windows 10.
The OneDrive integration, which was a major part of Xbox Music, has also been updated and now uploading your MP3s on OneDrive, including those downloaded from iTunes, will allow you to access them on Windows PCs, Phones, Tablets, Xbox as well as Android and iPhone (Coming Soon).

The new app will be available to the users of Windows Insider Program this week in a new build.

Last year Sony released the C5 Ultra a near bezel less phone with a premium design but was ultimately a mid ranger, this year we are here again reporting about the C6, another bezel less phone with a premium design. Image Source   The phone most likely will boast a 5.5 full HD screen, an Octa core Helio P10, 16 Gb internal storage, 3 or 2 Gb Ram and will of course support 4g LTE. The leaked pictures show a bezel less design which resembles the Z3 though it's not aluminium like the later. Image Source What do you think about the phone and it's design? And how it will fare against the other mid rangers.

Xperia C5 Ultra could be your dream bezel-less phone

By
last week Sony announced the near bezel-less C5 Ultra, now before we jump further you should know the whole bezel-less thing only applies to its side bezels the top and bottom ones are big while the top one is actually huge, we don't particularly find complete bezel-less phones easy to use but some people actually do so if less bezel size and more screen space is your forte than this phone might interest you, also note that the top bezel is large for a good reason it house's the 13 MP selfie camera . The C5 Ultra is set to launch on 14th august for $425 the price and availability could vary in other countries. C5 Ultra runs on a Mediatek 1.7 Ghz  Octa core procesor, offer's a 6" full 1080p screen, 13 MP camera both at the front and back, 2 GB Ram, 16 GB internal storage, SD card slot and a 2930 mah battery, all in a very sleek body which still is plastic though but looks good with the Xperia design language. Oh and colour options are mint green, black and white. ...
