Apple as finally unveiled its latest smartphones, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. The standard iPhone 7 has a 4.7-inch display for those who are not fans of big screen smartphones. This is not impressive as we have seen this display with retina resolution but Apple says that it is 25% brighter and comes with a wider color gamut. What’s new? The display aside, iPhone 7 stands out as being the first smartphone from the company to have IP67 certification meaning that it is water and dust resistant. It can survive a one-meter plunge in water for 30 minutes. This…

The company has not officially confirmed what the event is all about but the two devices we expect to see there is the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Apple usually unveils its new smartphones around this time and that is why we are confident that we will be seeing these two smartphones. Besides the new iPhones, we also expect the company to announce iOS 10. If you are a fan of Apple devices, you probably want to follow the event live from wherever…

Back in April this year, Huawei officially launched its 2016 flagship smartphone, the Huawei P9. This smartphone received so much praise from tech enthusiasts as it was one of the most affordable flagship devices you can get right now. The phone comes with specs you can find in most flagship smartphones but beats these flagships when it comes to price. The Huawei P9’s price has helped a lot the device in terms of sales. The company has recorded impressive sales figures since the P9 was launched compared to what other manufacturers have been recording. Within the first 6 weeks of…

When Apple announced that it was bringing its music streaming service to Android, we were not sure what to make of it. We were not expecting Android users to embrace Apple Music as there is usually some sort of bad blood between Android and Apple and we thought this would extend to the app. It looks like we were wrong and Apple Music seems to have quite a number of fans on Android. The app has just hit the 10 Million download mark on the Play Store which is pretty. The app has been available on Android since November last…

When it comes to adopting the latest OS on smartphones, Apple’s iOS usually has the highest rates compared to other platforms. This has been the case for years as Apple tends to control everything when it comes to iOS and Google doesn’t have that much to control when it comes to Android. With iOS 9, Apple is reporting that the OS is installed in about 88% of all devices that can support it. This includes all devices that can run iOS 9 which easily translates to the recent iPhones, iPads and iPod touch devices on the market. iOS 9 was…

Huawei’s partnership with Leica is about to give the company’s next phablet, the Mate 9, the dual camera treatment we have seen on the company’s most recent flagship, the Huawei P9. We know that Huawei will be launching the Mate 9 before the end of the year but the company has not confirmed any specs so all we can do is speculate as to what it will do. For the Huawei P9, the two cameras have different sensors with one collecting color information while the other one capturing a monochrome image. The two are then combined into a single image.…

You probably already know about the fire hazard incident some Samsung Galaxy Note 7 users have reported. This issue resulted in some Galaxy Note 7 devices exploding when being charged and Samsung has even admitted this problem exists and has even halted sales and recalled some of the units shipped to customers. With this, Oculus, the company’s whose technology powers the Samsung Gear VR, has come forward and instructed its customer not to use the phablet with the VR headset. The company says that users should not use the Galaxy Note 7 with the Gear VR until they get their…

With almost every other smartphone manufacturer making so much noise about each device they unveiled at IFA 2016, Lenovo decided to take another route when it launched its P2 and A Plus smartphones. These smartphones did not get the usual hype as the company decided to quietly unveil them at the event. It is not clear why Lenovo decided to take this route and it clearly doesn’t help them with publicity and customer awareness. With this soft launch, my guess is that the company has another event planned in the next few weeks to officially launch this phone to the…

A few days ago, we told you that Samsung has halted Galaxy Note 7 sales and is recalling some units in select markets due to the battery fire hazard. Even though not all Galaxy Note 7 units were affected, it is better safe than sorry and that is why the company is planning to recall some of these units. Before the battery fire fiasco, Samsung had shipped about 2.5 million Note 7 units and the company will be forced to recall some of them. Recalling these devices will definitely hurt Samsung finically right now and in the near future. When…
