Samsung Galaxy S8 latest news – price, release date, features and specs

Technology

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is simply gorgeous. Gone is the S7's flat screen, and in its place is a tall, narrow drink of water with two curved sides. Better even than the LG G6, which has similar proportions but no curved screen, and sleeker than the iPhone 7 Plus, which puts a smaller screen on taller, wider body. For the first time, every major Samsung phone is an "Edge" model, with the Edge and Note's curve-screen software and all. But elegant as it is in metal and glass, the S8 (and larger S8 Plus) is also the first marquee Samsung phone in a long time that leaves us with uneasy doubts. And those doubts have nothing to do with the disastrous Galaxy Note 7 and everything to do with a couple out-of-place choices and a work-in-progress digital assistant called Bixby. Good stuff f...

Russia Demands Apple & Google To Remove LinkedIn From App Stores

Technology

Recently, the Russian Government decided to ban LinkedIn and to do so Russia asked Apple and Google to simply remove the LinkedIn app from their app stores.

Immediately, LinkedIn was blocked, becoming inaccessible in the country, either by the browser or the applications. Of cour...

Android vs iPhone – Important points that you really don’t want to overlook

Technology

Well I have come across many users who sometimes seems confuse between lot hyped brand iPhone and feature packed Android. So today I have decided to make 10 points which one should seriously consider before buying an iPhone - #1 Expandable storage We store a lot of stuff on our phones. Sometimes the built-in storage isn't enough. That's why we love how many Android phones let you pop in a Micro SD card for extra storage. Plus it's a lot cheaper than spending another Rs. 6000 or so on a model with more storage. #2 Built-in navigation Even after all these years, the iPhone is still missing a built-in turn-by-turn navigation app. Google Maps is just OK if you need directions on the iPhone, but it doesn't give you the audio and visual cues that Android's app does. #3...

Here's a look at the creamy new update to the Android operating system.

It's mostly filled with small improvements and tweaks that Google rattled off pretty quickly, so we've listed our favorites here in bulleted form. This isn't a comprehensive list; this is just what Google demoed at today's event—so there's probably even more to come. Basic Improvements to Android Google's made a lot of improvements in the way Android looks and feels, from the home screen to the notification drawer to th...
