Uzair Ghani·August 15, 2014

There are many ways to evaluate a Wi-Fi network. You can either go for the hands-on visual approach by looking at the Wi-Fi signal bars, or just run a regular speed test and see the general performance of a network. But a regular speed test doesn’t tell the complete story as it's usually done on server side to check Internet speed, not local wireless network's speed. This is where a handy app for iPhone and Android comes in.

Samsung may have impressed with the Galaxy S5, but even the beautiful display and rear-facing shooter of the company's flagship hasn't stopped one of Android's powerhouses from delivering a bunch of models since then. As well as the snap-happy Galaxy K (or S5 Zoom), the Korean company just took the wraps off the Galaxy Alpha, a mid-to-high-end handset with a slick, metal-fused design, and although each of these devices have their share of strengths, the Galaxy Note 4 is the one that everybody has been waiting for. If you're a Samsung fan but decided to skip the S5, then there's a good chance that you're after the fourth installment to the famed phablet series, and now, we may finally have the nailed-on list of tech. specs courtesy of an Indonesian retailer.

Ben Reid·August 13, 2014

Last year's announcement and subsequent release of the iPhone 5s brought quite a few surprises along with it. Sure, we suspected long before the September showcasing that it would include a fingerprint sensor, gold color configuration and several other such treats, but even though we anticipated the customary processor bump, the 64-bit architecture of the Apple A7 caught everybody off-guard. It was a first in the smartphone industry, and while we expect the iPhone 6 to follow suit sometime next month, it also won't be too long before Android L releases adopt 64-bit SoCs as standard.

For a presumably limited time, you can pick up full songs from artists like Katy Perry and Daft Punk completely free, and given that we don't know how long the offer's going to last, you'll want to get in quickly to avoid disappointment.

How To Use Facebook Chat On Your Mobile Without Downloading Messenger App

Ben Reid·August 12, 2014

The fact that, some time ago, Facebook decided to separate the Messenger segment of its service into a standalone mobile app wasn't too much of an issue when it initially went down. After all, users could still easily continue to communicate using the official app, and the Facebook Messenger app was a convenient service dedicated to IM only. However, as users have noticed over the past couple of months, Facebook for iOS and Android is now a message-free zone, which, aside from being inconvenient, seems a tad unnecessary. Luckily, there's a way to circumvent the limitation, and whether you're rocking Facebook Messenger for Apple's iOS or Google's Android platform, you'll find a fairly simple workaround below.
