I figured I should learn some game engine for android because drawing everything on canvases is pretty tedious and feels inefficient. It seems a lot of people are using unity. Which engine would you guys recommend for a beginner getting into simple 2d games? Thanks for your time.

That thing looks like it will weigh as much a brick. It is nice to see manufacturers caring about battery once again though. Seems in the past few years battery life has been becoming worse with more power consuming processors, displays and thinner phones.

skyrim is pretty fun. The legendary version of it also always goes on sale (like <$10).

can't think of anything I don't use chrome on...
