Possible Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Designs leaked.

As February draws nearer, Samsung lovers as well as tech lovers who aren't so much into Samsung are growing so much impatient and even more as January gets eaten away every second. Well, as this happens, we see loads of teases and well as leaks that claim to be what we should expect from Samsung's S7 and S7 edge flagships which are rumored to be released in February at Mobile World Congress.

In the latest leak by Evan Blass, there seem to be not much difference between the S6, its edge and the S7 and S7 edge. The most visible changes that can be spotted in the S7 and S7 edge are; the corners been a bit more curved and the finger print sensors been a bit taller than their predecessors.

From previous rumors, the Galaxy S7 and the S7 edge would be shipped with Samsung's own Exynos 8 octa processor as well as 4 Gb of RAM though the Snapdragon 820 variants may be available in some regions. The Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge are rumored to be having larger batteries than their predecessors with the S7 possibly bumping up to 3000mAh and the S7 edge 3600mAh. Both devices are rumored to be coming with removable microSD ports unlike the S6 and S6 edge.

Well, these are rumors and we can't say for sure what Samsung is hiding behind the parceling but the sure thing is they aren't going to be anything bad - at least they will be better than the S6 and the S6 edge.

Microsoft Has Released A New Selfie App For iPhone

Microsoft for sometime now has been developing apps and providing its services to not only Windows powered devices but also Android and iOS devices. This is something quite good as the apps and services they provide are good enough to make people use and keep using them. Today, it released an app it named, "Microsoft Selfie", an app that is to make the selfie experience even better.

Selfies are getting more popular these days and its just a good move that Microsoft has developed such an app. Let's now take a look at what the app's got to offer the iPhone user.

This app is packed with features like exposure auto-adjustment, noise reduction and also takes into account factors like gender, age, skin tone and lighting when making adjustments. It also has a slider that can be used to adjust how much processing you want to be done to the picture before you save it. It also has some filters you can apply to already existing pictures or pictures you take on the go. You can download it from iT here.

Have you downloaded the app already? How do you see it.

3 Changes That We Should Be Expecting In The iPhone 7

Apple is known for one thing; changing their design every year with the new iPhones and 2016s version of the iPhone, iPhone 7 and 7S will be no different. New leaks show changes that prove Apple upping their design game with the next version of the iPhone.

Korea's Commercial Times reports 3 fantastic acclaimed already confirmed changes that we would be seeing in the iPhone 7. All the three changes look to make Apple maintain its "cool guy" status in the mobile phones market. These features are:

1.   A "Smart" Allu-body: Korea Commercial Times, reports that the company will be using a ‘New Compound Materials’. In June 2015, Apple was granted a patent for what it calls a "Non-capacitive or radio-frequency-transparent material with anodized metal appearance", a material the company has been working on for sometime now. This material is to allow wireless signals to pass through the material directly without any obstructions. It looks like this material will be used.

Apple did not give any details on the material but uses the patent to describe the material as quoted below:

Composite structures that have an appearance of an anodized bulk metal but that is non-capacitive and/or radio frequency (RF) transparent are disclosed. The composite structure can be part of an enclosure of an electronic device. The composite structure can give the enclosure a metallic look without interfering with the functioning of some electronic components of the electronic device, such as RF antennas, touch pads and touch screens.

2.   Goodbye Antenna Stripes: It is a known fact that Apple always put some plastic antenna stripes (really buggy by the way) at the back of their devices to allow the free transmission of wireless signals (Bluetooth, WiFi and others) which can be highly affected by the aluminium casing. Samsung takes care of this deadening effect of aluminium by using glass and the Nexus 6P does same using its distinctive 'visor'.

Per the report by Commercial Times, the iPhone 7 will be seen with a uniform finish which means the stripes will finally be gone hence the iPhone will be smoother and even thinner than before. This will be taken care of by using the "Non-capacitive or radio-frequency-transparent material with anodized metal appearance" as mentioned earlier.

3.   Finally, truly waterproof: The iPhone 6S and the 6S Plus have a feature that Apple never really mentioned; they are somewhat waterproof. From discovery, the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus can both survive hours under water without any damage to the device. Apple is will be perfecting this this time around. Just imagine how "cool" it'll be using the iPhone under water - imagine the underwater photography.

It's been speculated that Apple will be abandoning the headphone jack. It seems Apple is making this move in order to make the iPhone 7 fully waterproof - something that rivals like Samsung have already done without abandoning the headphone jack.

It seems Apple as usual is doing their best to stay on top of the design game considering facts that the iPhone will be the thinnest iPhone ever made alongside these three great features.

Microsoft Lumia 650 Images Leak

Microsoft has had years of struggle in the mobile devices market but it seems giving up is not something we'll be seeing from the Redmond company.

According to Windows Central, this Windows 10 powered 5-inch AMOLED 720p device would to  packed with Snapdrogon 212 processor running on a 1GB RAM and with 8GB of storage with expandable micro SD slot.

Its Not Over Yet: Firefox OS' New Future

Not very long ago, Mozilla the company behind Firefox OS said it was done with Firefox OS powered smartphones but from recent releases by Hipertextual, a Spanish site, it's now a confirmation and more of an insight into what Mozilla is terming "Firefox OS on connected devices". The Spanish site released some internal documents showing a Firefox keyboard, hub, stick and a Raspberry powered keyboard which were confirmed by Mozilla as "early product concept by one of our developers". Mozilla didn't confirm if these were still under development.

The goal of the Firefox Stick is to bring Firefox OS TV experience which is already available in Panasonic Smart TVs to every TV. The Router would give users a hackable product with built-in privacy controls, and could also function as a web server and connected home devices hub.

According to Mozilla, the tablet would be "just a web browser" with early adopters and the elderly as the main targets. This tablet will be cheap considering the fact that it will lack an app store, mobile connection and other interesting stuffs that make a tablet a "tablet". The keyboard is more of a better idea, it would be equipped with Raspberry Pi. This keyboard would turn any TV or monitor into a cheap computer. It would be equipped with Mozilla's Webmaker kit which will be useful for web creators, educators and makers.

we're still at the early stages of exploring and prototyping new use cases for Firefox OS in the world of connected devices as an open source project. - Mozilla

What do you think, does Firefox OS have the capacity to stand now?

Google On The Move To Create A Password-Free Login System

"123456", "password", "android", "0000" are some of the most common passwords used by people all over the world - passwords can be really confusing no wonder we choose the easier ones which are easily guessed. Well, Google is trying to get rid of passwords forever.

Google on Tuesday confirmed it has invited a small group of users to help test a new password-free way to sign into their accounts. "'Pizza', 'password', and '123456' — your days are numbered," a Google spokesperson said in a statement.

The new system lets you verify your identity via your smartphone, according to Reddit user Rohit Paul, who first reported the experimental feature. It works like this: You go to log in to your Google account like normal, but instead of entering your email address and password, you provide just your email. Next, Google will provide a secret code — in Paul's case, the number 21 — and tell you to look at your phone.

The Web giant will then send a message to your phone asking if you're trying to sign in. If you answer "yes," you'll then need to provide the secret code on your phone and you'll be logged in immediately.

The test works on iOS and Android, and you can still log in with your regular typed password if you prefer, Google said.

Other companies such as Yahoo have already started the move to password-free using push notifications. There is much more hope with password free systems than passwords' - this is a saviour.

What is your thought on this?

WhatsApp To Add Video Calling Feature Soon

Less than a year ago, WhatsApp, the most popular Instant Messaging (IM) app which is available on Android, Windows, iOS and Nokia S40, Symbian and Blackberry devices added a voice calling feature to its app. Today, Macerkopf a German blog released a single picture alleged by him as an ongoing testing of a new feature which is will soon be added to the WhatsApp app. At the moment, there's is no confirmation that this is true but it isn't something impossible.

There isn't much regarding the User Interface of the video calling feature. It only has options to switch between the front and rear cameras or muting the microphone. This should work over WiFi and Mobile data.

Aside the video calling feature, it also seems the WhatsApp team is testing using browser-style tabs for quickly switching between multiple chats.

What do you think, will this feature make WhatsApp even better or there should be fear for lags and more? Let us know in the comment box.

The Samsung Galaxy A9 Is Finally Official

After weeks (if not months) of rumors and leaks this morning about the super-hyped Samsung Galaxy A9, Samsung has finally made official its new version of the A line of products.

This new Samsung "baby" ships with Android 5.1 Lollipop (can't tell why not 6.0 Marshmallow which was announced by google since May 2015). The other features that this phone comes with are quite nice. It sports a 6.0-inch AMOLED display with 1920 x 1080 resolution, a newly-renamed octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32 gigabytes of on-board storage, microSD card expansion up to 128GB and dual-SIM card support. It also has a 13MP rear camera with OIS, 8MP front camera, a pretty big 4,000mAh battery and support for Qualcomm’s Quick Charge. In typical Samsung fashion, there’s also a home button-mounted fingerprint sensor that brings along support for Samsung Pay.

This phone does not really hit the mark as expected examples being the low resolution and its shipping with Lollipop instead of Marshmallow but we hope the price will make up for it. At the moment, there isn't much information on availabily and pricing but considering the country in which it was made official (China), there is no doubt it will hit the shelves in China sooner than expected.

Are you happy about the A9, do you think it will be worth it considering the specs, let us know in the comment box.

The Blackberry Priv - Blackberry's first Android phone's Official Hands On

Not long ago, there were rumors of Blackberry on the verge of releasing an Android phone. These rumors grew into a couple of leaks and later on as described by many media houses, "The failed review of the device" by the Blackberry CEO, John Chen.

Well, on 16th of October, 2015, an official hands on video popped up online. This 41 seconds video showcases the 5.4-inch QHD dual-curved AMOLED display in action. We also get to see how the 192g and (147×77.2mm) feels in real life. The main thing about this device is its physical keyboard. Though the man in the video seems to be able to use it comfortably, I can't really tell how good it is.

Take a look at the video below. 

What do you think of the Blackberry Priv, is it really going to hit the market big?

Samsung Bashes Apple After iPhone 6S Announcement

 It is no new fact to us the rivalry between the two mobile tech giants, Samsung and Apple. From the patent issues to the issues with customer satisfaction we've seen it all. This war between the two I'm sure won't come to an end now.

On the 9th of September 2015, Apple organised a jam-packed event during which so many announcements were made with the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S being the headliners. Just after the launch, Samsung took to Twitter and tweeted on the Siri feature, tweeted on they (Samsung) giving their users 6 months of unlimited music on Google play music compared to Apple's 3 and also about Apple's pencil which they claimed was copied from their long-term idea, the S-Pen.

The iPhone 6S and 6S plus are named by many as the best iPhones yet . These iPhones have  a 12-megapixel rear camera with 4k video as well as a 5-megapixel front camera. These devices as powered by a "faster"  A9 64-bit processor and also a new "Hey, Siri" feature that launches Apple's personal assistant when ever the phrase is said. The iPhone 6S goes for $200 and the iPhone 6S plus goes for $300 with a two year contract. The design of the iPhone 6S and 6S plus remain the same as the 6 and 6 plus respectively.

What do you think? Is Samsung really right with what they are saying or as many are saying, they are just insecure?

Sony To Release Xperia Z5 Premium In Addition To It's Z5 And Z5 Compact

Sony over the years have been taking a good share of the mobile devices market with its Xperia devices and more precisely, its Xperia Z series. Over the past few weeks, we've all been hearing, reading and also seeing pictures of the next generation of Sony's own flagship, the Xperia Z series and it's other blood relation, the Z5 compact. This week, Sony themselves "mistakenly" leaked a picture of the Z5 as well before taking them off after sometime.

Let's have a look at the rumored specs of the Xperia Z5 and Z5 compact before moving to the main topic for today.

The Xperia Z5

The "mistakenly posted shot of the Xperia Z5

The Xperia Z5 was rumored to be running Snapdragon 820 processor, along with 4GB of RAM, but Qualcomm isn’t expected to have the new chip ready until 2016. Other features may include 4K video recording, and a large 4500mAh battery. Also from as long as April, it was rumored that Xperia Z5 would use the reversible USB Type-C connector.

And also in an unofficial Facebook post from Sony Georgia, it’s stated the Xperia Z5 will have a 1080p 5.2-inch screen, the Xperia Z5 Compact a 720p 4.6-inch screen, and the Xperia Z5 Premium a massive 2160p 5.5-inch display.

The Xperia Z5 Compact

Not much is know about this device but from sources like techtastic and many others, the device is much smaller than the Z5 and will have a 4.6-inch Standard HD (720 X 1280) display and will have a finger print sensor just like the others. 

The Xperia Z5 Plus/Premium

According to the Android authority, Xperia Z5+ will be running on af 2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 Octa-core SoC with Adreno 430 GPU. There will also be 3GB of RAM on-board and 32GB of internal storage. It will include a 23-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera. Just like rumored about the earlier devices, the "plus" will also include an integrated fingerprint sensor built into the now flat power button on the right side of the phone.

A leaked picture of the Xperia Z5 Plus

The report also reiterates the fact that the volume rocker has been moved down to the bottom portion of the device’s right side, and also specifically mentioned that the Z5 Premium would be able to record 4K video with its’ rear camera. (It is likely that all three models will include the feature however, especially given that even the current Z4/Z3+ already does it).

What do you think of the Xperia Z5? Will it take over?

Apple 12.9-inch iPad Pro To Feature Force Touch Compatibility Stylus; Production Expected To Start October.

Time is fast flying, 2015 is almost to its peak and the rocket flying towards the release of the much anticipated iPad pro is almost there. According to KGI Securities Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a great track record for Apple leaks, the device is set to enter production in September-October 2015. And if this comes to pass as rumored, there is real likelihood that this device may hit major shelves by November this year following patterns of Apple device releases.

So What Do We Expect From The iPad Pro?

For the screen size, we should be expecting a 12.9-inch screen but the force touch and Stylus support being the main. It’s expected to feature a 2732 x 2048 resolution display and perhaps the same strong 7000 series Aluminum found in the Apple Watch Sport as well as stereo speakers. Along with the expected iPad Pro, Apple is expected to release an upgraded iPad mini 4 with the same dual-app mode capability as the current iPad Air 2.

Force Touch as we all know is already introduced in the Apple Watch and already in most recent MacBooks. We can all assume that this force touch feature may be something that will be incorporated in upcoming Apple devices. But as a matter of fact, the Force Touch feature may be difficult to implement in larger screened devices and the iPad Pro which will be having a 12.9-inch screen is no exception; the main reason why the Stylus is much more needed for this device.

According to Kuo, this Stylus which he believes will be made by Cheng Uei could also be made compatible with future models of iPad depending on what software it is running.

This is what he said.

With regard to the present technologies, we believe if the Force Touch module for iPad is designed using the same structure that was used in the iPhone, the larger size may result in a poor yield rate. This is why we think a stylus may be necessary to make Force Touch work properly on the 12.9” iPad. We also believe a Force Touch-enabled stylus will enhance productivity as it would offer more precise operation than using only fingers. Technically, we believe the stylus can be made compatible with iPad models other than the 12.9” version, but it depends on the support of software.

 So the question is, will Apple be very successful with the Stylus support and Force Touch feature? Well, according to KGI's analysts, there's a high possibility that Apple could sell up to 5.5 million of this device this year and under 1 million accompanying styluses.

Microsoft "Surface Mobile" Specs leak with images. Will this Windows 10 Phone Make It In The Market?

Since the release of Windows 10 on July 29th 2015, we've been waiting to see the release of a Windows 10 phone. It's been rumored that Microsoft will be releasing two devices codenamed Cityman and Talkman and the latest to be rumored being the Surface Mobile with the codename Project Juggernaut Alpha. 

According to WMPowerUser, the device will be running a Quad HD 5.5-inch display, a 64-bit Intel Atom chip, a 21-megapixel rear camera, and an 8-megapixel wide-angle shooter in front. Also available for choice will be a 3 or 4GB of RAM, 64/128GB of storage with microSD, USB-C, wireless charging and a Surface Pen. It runs Windows 10 and sports a unibody metal design.

According to WMPowerUser again, the phone is currently under internal testing with Windows 10 mobile preview. It was also noted by them that the specs listed above may change when it hits the market but I'm sure everyone will be happy with it if it is released with the same hardware specifications.

Have a look at the pictures below.

With the Specs above, do you think Microsoft can get a good share from the mobile devices market? Let us know.

Windows 10 First Reviews In: It looks like Microsoft Has Got It Right This Time around.

While some are still awaiting the roll out of Windows 10, some have already got it and are speaking good of it. Most of the people are giving much praise to the introduction of the Start Menu again, Cortana and the Look and feel of the new OS. Not much has been said about the Microsoft Edge browser but there seems to be some hope for it too. Unlike Windows 8 which brought down Microsoft reign to a certain level, Windows 10 seems to be what Microsoft needs to hit back again. Let's have a look at what some people are saying.

Yahoo's David Pogue writes,

You really are going to love Windows 10. You’ll almost certainly want to upgrade your computers to it, especially since it’s free," and that "if you’re a PC veteran, then you’ll recognize Windows 10: It’s pretty much Windows 7, with Cortana, nicer typography, and a few new features.

Also, The Verge's Tom Warren says,

Windows 10 has some great additions over Windows 8 and Windows 7, and it really feels like a good blend of the familiarity of Windows 7 and some of the new features of Windows 8. It’s not irritating to use, and you don’t need a tutorial to find the Start menu. It just works like you’d expect.

And also from Wired,

The subtle, remarkable feat of Windows 10 is that it manages to introduce equally powerful new ideas without being so overbearing. If you upgrade your laptop from Windows 7 and steadfastly refuse to use any of the new features, the new OS will feel mostly like an aesthetic makeover. The design is cleaner and flatter, with heavier contrast between icons and backgrounds and a slightly darker overall look. It’s more consistent, too, as if Microsoft’s designers finally made it deep into the menus. But it’s the same Windows you’ve always known. Start Menu and everything. ... The great thing about Windows 10 is that there's no wrong way to use it.

From the above reviews, it can be noted that all three reviews are talking much about the how much user friendly the new OS is. It can be noted, even from Microsoft's official screenshots and also Insiders' screenshots that this OS is a combination of both Windows 8 and Windows 7 (There more than twice the number of people using Windows 7 than Windows 8)

Amidst all these, there will for sure be so many bugs coming with the OS and also a lot of Windows apps have not been upgraded to the new OS yet. It is therefore advisable not to upgrade just yet. You should wait for 30 to 60 days and by then, most of the bugs would have been fixed plus most software companies would have upgraded as well.

It looks like the future is really bright for the tech giants; it looks like they've got it right this time around but the question is, is this good enough to make Microsoft's reign come back to life again?

Lumia 950 great specs leak: Is this the wind of change for Microsoft phones?

As we all may know, Microsoft's Mobile Phone Business is actually still in a very bad shape now. But Microsoft is not really giving up on it. Earlier today, some leaks popped up online from china revealing some great features of the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL.

According to IT Home, the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL will launch sometime in October or November with a metal design, expandable storage, removable batteries and Windows 10 software. The smaller Lumia 950 codename Talkman will also allegedly sport a 5.2-inch 2K display, a Snapdragon 808 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of built-in storage, a 20-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, a 3000mAh battery and USB-C. The Lumia 950 XL (codename Cityman) may offer similar hardware, but with a 5.7-inch display, a Snapdragon 810 chip, a 3300mAh battery and something called “three flash” for its rear camera.

This may be the real beginning for Microsoft and may be one of those changes that windows 10 will bring to the life of end users. It is great news to know that the phones will possess metallic design, battery swapping and expandable memory features.

What do you think of the Microsoft Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL concept? Is it good enough to battle for grounds in the mobile devices market? Please Leave your comments.

The Galaxy s6 edge plus photos leak online.

Two weeks ago, it was rumoured that the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge plus will be released in August but it now seem like it's getting into being more of a reality than just a mere rumour. Earlier yesterday, some photos which was reportedly sent to a German News site, All about Samsung which seem to be the Galaxy S6 edge just proves it more that the S6 edge plus is very close to release.

Though no details were given as to it's specs, it is very clear from the photos taken that it has the same screen size as the Galaxy Note 4 which around 5.7-inches. Also judging from previous leaks, it is obvious that it will feature an octa-core Exynos 7420 chip but that is all we can say is known as at now.

So reported by Android Authority that both phones have been seen passing through the FCC with cellular bands corresponding to AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and U.S. Cellular,  it does begin to feel like we are merely counting down the days until we get to see both phones for ourselves.

View the rest of the images below.
