DT Daily: Smartphone sequels take center stage at CES

By Digital Trends Staff Published February 21, 2015

While CES dominates the headlines for most categories of tech during the Winter months, we expect to see the majority of mobile device debuts at Mobile World Congress a short month after CES. However, every year a few brave manufactures make waves at the Western Hemisphere’s largest electronics show.

In 2015, sequels dominated. The LG G Flex 2 is a self healing, flexible handset that builds on it’s predecessor’s sporty functionality. ZTE’s Star 2 has the best voice recognition functionality we’ve seen, period. Finally, Asus updated the ZenFone with, you guessed it, the ZenFone 2. It kinda looks like an LG, which is a good thing.

Work/Life: How to remain focused during times of distraction

On this episode of Work/Life, Ciara Pressler, author of Pregame and Game Plan, talks with Greg Nibler about how to remain focused during the constant distractions, chaos, and confusion of the current climate, whether it’s pandemic fatigue, protests, wildfires, the election, or any number of other things out of our control that can take our attention or bog us down.

“There’s a lot going on,” Pressler said, “so how do we focus when there’s so much going on?” The first step of gaining focus, she says, is to acknowledge what’s going on -- not just with the constant barrage of news, but with yourself. “You might not be feeling like working at 100%, and that’s ok!” she says.
