Samsung has announced Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. Here is everything you need to know about features, specs, price and release date of Samsung's 2016 flagship phones.
It's not every day you buy a charging cable that lights up, but that's exactly what Poweradd's 2-in-1 Lightning and micro-USB cable does, pulsing quickly or slowly, depending on how fully charged your device is, and it's currently down to $35.99 from its original price of $59.99.
There are definitely worse things that you can buy for $85.99 than one of Motorola's Moto G smartphone. If you are currently using an iOS or Android-powered smartphone, but have been looking for a spare device, either for traveling or just taking with you as a backup, then the first-generation fully unlocked Moto G for $85.99 is definitely one that's worth taking a peek into. The deal offers a staggering 57% saving on the regular list price, but act quickly if you're interested, as the price is set to rise back to normal in a day's time.
Microsoft has shown continual willing to build on the user-experience that is thrust into the face of users when interacting with Skype. Since purchasing the company back in 2011, the company has pumped significant resources into ensuring that the whole platform is as smooth and seamless as possible for those who interact with it on a daily basis. Part of that development has focused on overhauling and improving the customer-facing mobile apps on iOS and Android, which has now been updated with a new group video calling experience for up to 25 people that was originally teased back in January.
Pre-registration for Miitomo - Nintendo's first mobile game - is now live. The Japanese gaming giant is billing Miitomo as being a "smart-device app that sparks one-of-a-kind conversations between you and your friends". The company is also playing on the fact that it's a game "from Nintendo", using the brand to gain traction, as well as outlining that it's "free to start", presumably suggesting that gamers will ultimately have to part with real money at some point through in-app purchases to progress in the Miitomo world.
Security vulnerability on smartphones is more synonymous with Android than any other platform, and a new string of malware targeting it seems to reinforce that sentiment. Discovered by a Danish security firm, Mazar BOT is the newest malware in town that can gain admin rights on your phone and subsequently take control of it.
A leaked Samsung video confirms that the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge will be waterproof, a capability that is also hinted at by the company's Galaxy Launch Pack web page.
Samsung has released Android Marshmallow update for the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge along with some enhanced features including a wider edge panel for the S6 Edge. Here are the details.
Apple and Samsung have enjoyed a long run at the top of the smartphone game. In fact, it could be argued that the two companies, who produce iOS and Android devices respectively, have the smartphone industry pretty much dominated. Sure, there are companies out there manufacturing seriously impressive hardware, but no-one comes close to breaking the dominance of these two. In an effort to try and appeal to the masses with something unique and entirely different, Alcatel is about to introduce a new smartphone that comes packed in a box which can double as a Virtual Reality headset. Seriously.
The introduction of new hardware from one of the world's largest smartphone manufacturers doesn't just mean new shiny goodness for tech fans who love the latest device. It also means price reductions on older hardware that will directly benefit those consumers who simply don't feel the need to own the latest and greatest release. As of right now, Samsung has applied further reductions to last year's Galaxy S6 taking the price down to a very reasonable $450 for off contract unlocked model. Galaxy S6 normally retails for around $500.
