Apple responds to why junkyard crash tests don’t always trigger iPhones’ Crash Detection

Oppo A77s hangs out at Geekbench prior to its launch in India

Oppo is used to churning out A-series mid-rangers like there's no tomorrow, and the next installment in the series will be the A77s, which rumor has it should launch in India very, very soon.
