Hollywood film adaptation of Death Note will receive a rating of R – Kanobu (Register)

I already wrote about the Hollywood adaptation of the brilliant manga Death Note with Nate Wolfe as Light Yagami. The film puts Adam Wingard, director of fairly good horror “Guest” and “You end!».

At the conference in 2016 DICE representative site Collider spoke with film producer Roy Lee. According to Li, Wingard waiting for “the green light” to shoot the movie, but the actors have already been identified. Filming should begin in 2016. Lee said that the film adaptation will be designed for adults:

This is exactly the film for an adult audience. There is no chance that the rating will be lower R

. <-! -> <-! -> <-! -> <-! -> <-! -> <-! ->

The general tone of the film Lee describes as “one of the first adaptations of manga, which will be very realistic, but it must contain fantastic elements»

.

the funny thing here is that the original manga published in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, designed for boys and adolescents 8-18 years of age. There are no explicit scenes of violence and sex, as a way of dealing with heroes and villains selected the most bloodless: heart attack.

Of course, some characters fall into trucks and are suffering similar troubles, but in comics all kept on a tight plot and psychology of the characters. So this is just the adaptation of the manga, which the R rating completely useless.

In recent years, formed a sub-class is very popular in Belarus smartphones, which combine a 5.5-inch Full HD display, processor MediaTek and low cost. 42.TUT.BY decided to compare three most popular gadget of this category – Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Meizu M2 Note and Lenovo K3 Note

Photos:. Sergey Balay, TUT .BY

Fashion for budget planshetofony started a Xiaomi, releasing in 2014 the first Redmi Note. She was later picked up by other Chinese manufacturers. The title of these smartphones has always featured the word Note, borrowed from the respective Samsung line

The most important thing (for which these gadgets and have earned the people’s love.) – Is that they offer a good performance, a large and clear screen at low . the price that the current time is the most important

We will not be long torment you screenshots and benchmarks, and simply compare the various aspects of devices: their design, screens, performance, camera and battery life

.

Specification and price

The most expensive of the trio was the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. This is a relatively new model, but because its price has not yet had time to fall to its lowest level – smartphone you can buy in Belarus from 4.2 million rubles. For example: not unlike her Redmi Note 2 is already on 3.4 million rubles

Meizu M2 Note is cheaper – from 3.5 mln. Rubles. Price Lenovo K3 Note – roughly at the same level – 3.6 million rubles

But the look of their performance and price of the pivot plate:

Design and ergonomics

In this price range (to $ 200) is difficult to find a work of art, and this trio is no exception. However, and faceless boxes they also will not name

.

Xiaomi here has gone the furthest, making monolithic body with metal inserts. The downside – the increased weight. The smartphone is somewhat heavier than the Meizu Lenovo and gadgets, and it feels right.

However, due to the rounded corners Redmi Note 3 is excellent in hand, the location of the volume buttons and locking convenient. See for yourself in the video:

<-! /> SWF (swf1456084341520) ->

We’ve been on a review of Lenovo K3 Note bright yellow. The decision can not be called original for several years (since the release of Nokia Lumia 920), but it definitely makes the device stand out among the rest. Slightly spoils the impression a pearlescent

On the downside we put too narrow and slightly evolved lock and volume buttons

.. <-! /> SWF (swf1456084409043) ->

The most faceless of the three It can be called Meizu M2 Note. The “mouse” gray it resembles a bar of soap at all.

Here, the lock and volume buttons are on the left side. For some, this may seem inconvenient

. <-! /> SWF (swf1456084514489) ->

1 st place for the design gets Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, on the second line we put Lenovo K3 Note, 3rd position at the Meizu M2 Note.

screen

All three smartphone received a 5.5-inch IPS-matrix with a resolution of Full HD (just like iPhone 6 / 6s Plus). If not particularly find fault, it all seemed to be ok -. Screen clear and bright rather

However, on closer inspection you realize that the matrix is ​​not as in flagship smartphones – tilt colors fade and the sun to read something something quite difficult.

We conducted several tests for clarity and recorded them on video. From left to right – Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Lenovo K3 Note and Meizu M2 Note.

maximum brightness in the dark:

minimum brightness darkness:

<- /> SWF (swf1456085038945) -!>

Behavior in the street on a sunny day:

<- /> SWF (swf1456085287068) -!>

As you can see, the brightest display in Meizu M2 Note. At the same time he is the most “gentle” of the Trinity and a minimum illumination – and thus at night to read it will be most comfortable. But it had faded most of the tested color devices.

The average (of the three) indicators brightness from Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. It is not the brightest at maximum, but at night the discomfort does not deliver. Color reproduction is also not at the highest level.

As for the Lenovo K3 Note, here we see the most vivid colors and good contrast, but the brightness of the stock in very short supply, especially in the street. This night, at a minimum, he shines brighter than all

The display competition we put on first line Meizu M2 Note, the second -. Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, and the third – Lenovo K3 Note

performance

the good, all three smartphones – they provide sufficient performance for most tasks. This means that you can play as in the simple and in the “heavy” games (though not always at the maximum setting), will not have any appreciable lag when working in other applications.

However, testing small braking were found in the Lenovo K3 Note. Perhaps the reason lies in insufficient optimized interface

Of course, we are “banished” all three smartphone in AnTuTu and got a result (from left to right – Xiaomi, Lenovo and Meizu):.

So, Xiaomi redmi 3 Note – the first line, from the Lenovo K3 Note – the second, at the Meizu M2 Note – third .

runtime

Among all devices Xiaomi redmi Note 3 received the most capacious battery to 4000 mAh at Meizu M2 Note – 3100 mAh, Lenovo K3 Note – 3000 mAh. However, battery life depends not only on the volume of batteries, but also on other factors, such as the processor

In the video playback at maximum brightness Lenovo K3 Note lasted 7:00, Meizu M2 Note -. 6,5 hours ., and the record became Xiami redmi Note 3 to 9.5 hours

The synthetic test confirmed the balance of power: Xiaomi, Meizu, Lenovo

Camera

in this element in the budget planshetofonah saved most. And do not look at a large number of megapixels – good shots with these gadgets can be obtained, as a rule, only in sunny weather

In the gallery below consistently posted photos taken by Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Meizu M2 Note. and Lenovo K3 Note (several series under different conditions). In that order, these smartphones, and we came to the finish line.



In the end,

Undisputed comparison test winner was Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 . This gadget is the most balanced, however, and it is expensive (you can buy a smartphone in Belarus from 4.2 million rubles)

The second place goes to the smartphone Meizu M2 Note . Let him and the most undistinguished design and filling the weakest, but this is offset by bright screen, good camera and battery life. Belarusian gadget price – 3.5 million rubles

The third place is occupied by a small margin Lenovo gadget. He really did not have enough brightness of the display and a good camera, and the battery life might be more. Price Lenovo K3 Note in Belarus – 3.6 million rubles

Express comparison cameras Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy Note 5 – Mobiltelefon.Ru

February 22, 2016, 03:52

At the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 one of the best cameras among all commercially available smartphones ( read comparisons with LG V10 and Sony Xperia Z5 Premium). It would seem that the sharp increase in the quality of Galaxy S7 should not be, but there it was! South Korean manufacturer once again broke through the ceiling and the competitors will have to try hard to catch up with the Galaxy S7 camera and S7 edge.

Please rate on a lower frames, the ease with which Galaxy S7 edge with early software beat Galaxy Note 5, which very cool camera. Particularly interesting the first couple of shots: detail has increased significantly – from Beard consultant has a clear and distinct texture; work with contrast and tint became less rough – the man with the camera Canon, you can easily see the rolled up sleeves, which in Note 5 merge with the overall texture jackets

Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S7 edge

Galaxy S7 effortlessly bypassed Galaxy Note 5 thanks to the comprehensive improvement of the module. Firstly, the company did not take part in the futile and senseless race for megapixels, lowering the resolution from 16 megapixels to 12 megapixels (incidentally changed the aspect ratio from 16: 9 to 4: 3). Secondly, the pixel size was increased from 1.1 micron to 1.4 micron (large capture more light pixels). Third, the diaphragm became f / 1.7 instead of f / 1.9 (it also benefited from shooting in poor conditions). Fourth, the S7 family to get Dual Pixel technology, meaning that all pixels of the matrix have two photodiode, not one – it has a positive effect on the speed and accuracy of focus (and it’s true – S7 focuses faster Note 5)

Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S7 edge

The comparison we have made a small, but enough to know that the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge cameras have advanced. We look forward to a detailed testing and comparisons with other flagships.

A note from the editorial director – SB Nation

Earlier today, SB Nation posted a story called “Who is Daniel Holtzclaw?” that attempted to find out the backstory of convicted serial rapist Daniel Holtzclaw. The story focused on his football background in particular.

The publication of this story represents a complete breakdown of a part of the editorial process at SB Nation. There were objections by senior editorial staff that went unheeded. It was tone-deaf, insensitive to the victims of sexual assault and rape, and wrongheaded in approach and execution. There is no qualification: it was a complete failure

In light of that failure, we’ve taken the story down.. I take full responsibility for this as editorial director. It was not up to our standards as a website. It was not up to our standards as a part of Vox Media. It is not reflective of our ideals, or who we want to be as an organization in the future.

We’re reviewing all of our processes in light of this failure. There are a lot of them, and I promise to talk in detail about them publicly while we work through all of them.
