Christian Post Report – Microsoft Lumia 640 XL

Microsoft introduced its Lumia 640 XL, which is a bigger version of the 5-inch Microsoft Lumia 640 with an upgraded camera and slightly larger battery. Meanwhile, Lenovo announced its latest device, the A7000, a 5.5-inch phone that will cost you less than $200.

Here, we compare the two devices:

Design:
The Lumia 640 XL has a polycarbonate material, and the phone has rounded corners. The handset measures 6.22 x 3.21 x 0.35 inches and weighs a hefty 6.03 ounces. The phone comes in a variety of colors, such as matte black, white, blue, and glossy orange.

The A7000 has the same shape as the Microsoft phone as it has the same gently curved corners. The handset measures 6.01 x 3.00 x 0.31 inches and is a lot lighter than the Lumia 640 XL at only 4.94 ounces. Color variety is limited to black and white.

Features:
The Lenovo phone has a 5.5-inch screen, while the Microsoft handset has a 5.7-inch display. The phones have the same resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, but the Lumia 640 XL is the only one that’s scratch resistant as it has a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 to protect it.

The Microsoft device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor and runs on Windows Phone 8.1, while the Lenovo phone has a MediaTek octa-core chip set and runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop with Vibe UI.

Both devices come with 8GB internal memory, but the Lumia 640 XL’s internal storage can be expanded up to 128GB, while the Lenovo A7000’s memory can only be expanded up to 32GB.

Both phones have a 5GB front-facing camera, but the Microsoft device edges out the competition with its 13GB rear-facing shooter. The Lenovo phone has an 8MP rear camera.

Price:
Off contract, the Lenovo A7000 will cost $169 when it goes on sale this month, while the Christian Post Report – Microsoft Lumia 640 XL is expected to cost $240 when it goes on sale in April.

‘The Walking Dead’ Season 5 Spoilers: Huge Trouble Ensues Inside the Walled Paradise

Last episode of the hit post-apocalyptic TV drama series “The Walking Dead” Season 5 features both intense and tragic developments. And spoiler reports suggest this could continue in this week’s episode titled “Try.”

Facebook/ The Walking Dead
Christian Post Report – Darryl says “We brought dinner” as they walk into Alexandria, on The Walking Dead.

In “Spend,” fans saw the tragic demise of Noah (Tyler James Williams) who was literally devoured by the Walkers. It also revealed Rick’s (Andrew Lincoln) people getting more crucial positions inside Alexandria – a thing that upsets Father Gabe (Seth Gilliam) who told the community’s leader Deanna (Tovah Feldshuh) that having Rick and Co could spell disaster within the walls.

And this could turn out to be true, at least in the case of Rick. Spoiler reports indicated that the next episode will tackle on the conflict that is about to happen between the survivors’ leader and Alexandria’s esteemed doctor, Pete (Corey Brill).

A report from Design & Trend cited fan site The Spoiling Dead Fans saying that although Pete won’t be killed in the upcoming segment, he will, nonetheless, face the anger of the show’s main protagonist.

It was claimed by TSDF that Pete’s wife, Jessie (Alexandra Breckenridge) has suffered abuses from him. Seeking the help of the Safe Zone’s newly appointed constable, a fight consequently occurred between Rick and Pete.

As further revealed, Alexandrians have long been aware of Pete’s suspicious behaviours. In the Walking Dead comics, Douglas Monroe (Deanna’s comic book counterpart) will even ask Rick to end Pete’s life.

Executive producer Scott M. Gimple already told through The Hollywood Reporter that Season 5 will follow closely with the events on the comic book. This goes to say that Pete might be eradicated, not on this episode as it was reported, but likely on the succeeding ones.

“The Walking Dead” Season 5 episode 15 titled “Try” airs this Sunday, March 22 on AMC.

England vs France Live Stream Free: Watch Six Nations Rugby Online (Start Time, Preview)

England will face off against France on Saturday as they look to win the Six Nations Championship at Twickenham with a strong win.

Christian Post Report – The game is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. ET) and can be watched online through live stream (details below).

(Reuters)

England will know exactly what they have to do to win the Six Nations as they start this game. The English have the slight advantage in that both Ireland and Wales played earlier on Saturday, and with things coming down to the wire and points difference, it would be an advantage that makes all the difference.

Coming into this final weekend of the Six Nations, three teams are level on six points, having gained three wins and losing once in their four games each until now. That means this is one of the closest Six Nations on record, with all three teams still with the chance of winning the Championship.

Wales come into today’s game with six points but are third in the table due to their inferior points difference. They have scored 85 points and conceded 73 until now, giving them a +12 points difference.

Ireland are second with 79 points scored and 46 conceded to give them a points difference of +33.

England are marginally ahead in top space, having scored 102 points and conceded 65 to give them a points difference of +37.

However, even though Wales are lagging behind by quite a lot they arguably have the opportunity to pile on the points today against an Italy team that has conceded by far the most points in this season’s Six Nations.

In their four games until now Italy have conceded 121 points – more than 30 points per game on average.

Ireland may feel they have the best chance, as they face Scotland, who are the worst team in the tournament coming into the final weekend, having lost all four games so far. Ireland only need to overturn a four point deficit against England, and with the English facing a strong French team, England may find it difficult to hold on to their slim advantage.

Indeed, France have the best defense in this year’s Championship, having conceded only 46 points in their four games until now, which is an average of just 11 points per game.

England and France will start at 5 p.m. GMT and the game can be watched online through live stream by clicking here.
