It's now official. Google has just announced official support for using Android Wear smartwatches on iPhone running iOS 8.2 or later.
It seems that Samsung is truly serious about upping the ante when it comes to luring iPhone users across to Android. Samsung recently unveiled its "Ultimate Test Drive" program that allowed iPhone users to get their hands on a Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge+, or Galaxy S6 for a simple $1 outlay. Now, it seems that those who were excited to take Samsung up on the offer are in for an additional treat if they decide to make the switch across to Samsung and Android permanent.
Here's a specs comparison between Samsung Galaxy Note 5 vs S6 Edge+ vs Apple's iPhone 6 Plus. For those that are currently on the fence and having difficulty choosing the right plus-sized device for themselves, this head-to-head features and specifications comparison should help in making the right decision.
The idea of Google's Android Wear powered smartwatches working with Apple's iPhone sounds far-fetched, right? Perhaps not, because a few hours back a listing for the highly-anticipated Huawei Android Wear smartwatch (named Huawei Watch) was spotted over at Amazon which stated that the device is compatible with "most devices with an iOS 8.2...". The page after making a few rounds on the Web has since then been taken down following a statement from Huawei.
Here is a list of Samsung Galaxy S devices which will get Android 6.0 Marshmallow update, slated for release sometime this fall. Is your device on the list?
After months of build up, Google today finally launched its competitor to Twitch, with YouTube Gaming going live on the web today, and its iOS & Android apps also being made available.
The introduction of Samsung's Galaxy Note 5 was enough to raise excitement levels amongst those who adore large screen devices. Samsung essentially created the "phablet" market, so it's only right and proper that consumers continue to get excited for the continuation of the Note range. The specifications of the Note 5 are enough to make anyone believe that the device would outperform most competing devices, especially a flagship from 2014, such as Apple's iPhone 6. With that said, we should all know by now that raw specs alone don't tell the full story.
Google Chrome is one of the most popular web browsers in the world at the moment so it's no surprise that developers and enthusiasts are keen to build and publish extensions for the software. Perhaps one of the simplest but highly functioning Chrome app available at the moment, is the newly discovered Vysor, which comes courtesy of the prominent developer behind Android apps and tweaks like AllCast, Helium, ROM Manager, and most importantly, ClockworkMod recovery. Vysor allows the display of an Android device to be mirrored onto a PC, Mac, or Linux computer running Google Chrome with absolute minimal fuss.
When Apple introduced Siri for iOS, it started a new trend that was previously shared by individual apps, but nothing system-wide. Google answered soon with Google Now, and while it didn't have Siri's finesse, it still did the job. For quite a while, it was between these two that the battle raged on, until Microsoft entered the foray with Cortana - a virtual assistant that in some ways was arguably better than both Siri and Google Now. After first launching on Windows Phone and then later on Windows 10, Microsoft committed to bring Cortana to iOS and Android, and back in July, a leaked APK became available that gave users hope. Today, however, Microsoft has released an official beta version of Cortana for Android, and it's available for you to download and test away right now.
Rumors of a new Moto 360 2 (2015) have been abound for a good while now, and new leaked photos purporting to be of the unannounced wearable have now started to appear.
