Samsung Galaxy S6 Is Poor At Managing RAM

Ben Reid·April 29, 2015

One of the many features to be appreciated of the Samsung Galaxy S6 - like most of the company's top-end smartphones, to be fair - is the raw power under the hood. Unsurprisingly, Sammy has delivered an absolute beast of a handset once more in the S6, and allied to its 64-bit, octa-core Exynos processor, the flagship also throws in a substantial 3GB of RAM. But while these features all seem dandy when written down, Qualcomm's overheating Snapdragon 810 has proved that weighty-sounding tech specs don't always deliver the goods, and some users of the S6 have found it to be burning through more RAM during menial use than necessary.

Facebook Messenger App Adds Video Calling On iOS, Android

Ben Reid·April 28, 2015

Facebook's Messenger app offers an impressive inventory of different tools and features, and, even compared with longer-serving rivals, caters to most users' requirements with aplomb. However, one glaring shortcoming is that of video chat - specifically the lack thereof - and with millions of clips shared on the Menlo Park firm's social network, it seems almost criminal that something so basic remains missing from Messenger. Still, an official announcement today has confirmed that video calling will soon be included among Messenger's features, with iOS and Android users across 18 different nations benefiting initially.

The decision to integrate biometric detection into consumer electronics may be popular with users and shows the willingness of companies to embrace emerging technologies, but the fundamental reason for such integration boils down to one thing: an attempt to improve security. The data associated with biometric capture extends beyond a simple password or code created by the user. It actually forms part of who that person is as an individual and is quite possibly as personal as it can get, so when things go wrong, as one research company will point out at this week's RSA, it raises a lot more eyebrows than a simple password breach. According to a new report, a number of Android devices are failing to protect the data of users that is captured through integrated biometric sensors.

A few years ago, before the big IPO, Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook were continually - and correctly - lambasted for their decidedly below-par mobile efforts. For a company that had a following then well into the hundreds of millions - now in the billions, of course - Facebook on iOS and Android were a major let down, but in recent times, things have dramatically improved. Facebook has, at times, partaken in the sport of throwing ideas against the wall and seeing what sticks - with varying degrees of success - and now, has launched an all-new dialer app for Android called Hello.
