OMG! Google has released the developer preview of Android O, this is actually the first preview, so since it's still in its early days, usual caveats should apply. The OS has not been finished, so you will expect some bugs, making it unusable as daily driver. However Google has promised to release more features and there will still be plenty of stabilization & performance work. But not to be discouraged, you also should know that the newest developer preview of Android O is actually booting. The developer preview of Android O isn't on beta preview, as Google will open the Beta program testing for Android O, with new tweaks and changes.

The Mobile World Congress 2017 which was held in Barcelona last month has been wrapped up with several Android phones such as the LG G6 and Blackberry Keyone been released afterwards. If you had been able to watch the MWC event live, you'd notice that Samsung didn't announce any update for the upcoming Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. But the company confirmed when the flagship is going to be unveiled. (We'll look into that as this article unravels). The Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus teases is perhaps over after all, as the past few months has been filled with several concepts, renders or stunningly leaked images of the "flagship". We've previously highlighted the rumor specs, features, release date and price of the Galaxy S8, but that seems to be just a rumor (which makes sense). While, many has been anticipating for the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, there has been a lot of pandemonium and conflicting reports about the upcoming flagship device from Samsung. Prior to this, a lot of Sa...

Google has announced a new Service or perhaps an Android app dubbed Family Link. This tool, was first discovered on the YouTube kid app but it was actually hidden as a reference. The Family Link app serves as a form of parental control which allows parents to stay in the loop as their kids explore on their Android device. Apparently, Google's Family Link app is far more generous and ambitious than we had presumed. Think about it, with the Google's Family Link, you can now safely purchase an Android device for your 13 year old kid and monitor all the activities he/she performs on their new mobile. This definitely is a godsend app and as a parent, the family link app is expected to be "ubiquitous" on your mobile. How Google Family Link Works To get the new Family Link App running on your phone and that of your kids mobile, you'll probably need an Android device running on Nougat (7.0) & higher, along with some certain Marshmallow (6.0) device. While the Google...

​Like seriously we've had alot of nostalgia already! The Nokia comeback in 2017 has always been what every tech enthusiasts anticipated, but what we probably didn't figure out was that they're  planning to relaunch the "Old" Nokia 3310. Well they already did, and the device is on sell as of writing this article. In a modern classic reimagined, the new Nokia 3310 takes the iconic rounded form silhouette of the original with long lasting battery and the legendary snake game, you'd agree with me that the device brings a classic fresh look. While the rebirth of the old Nokia 3310 is still hot, Russian luxury phone makers by name Caviar has launched a special or rather custom version of the new Nokia 3310 and it's called the "Supremo Putin". This edition is made of gold and titanium and retails for a jaw-dropping of $1,700. Hehe! The price is completely a blatant rip-off considering that the average Nokia 3310 gets sold at $49. But if perhaps you fanc...

Android O is the next version of Android operating system that'll be announced by Google probably in 2017. Google's annual Android updates are known to bring new plethora features and the names are followed by Google's standard alphabetical Android naming convention. We've seen the Android 7.0 Nougat performance capabilities and perhaps it's time to move on with the newest potential Android 8.0. Google are working hard to build the next variation for android smartphones and tablets which will come with advance features. Currently, there isn't much information to be known about the Android 8.0 "O", and the rumors circulating around so far is that Google might not even announce another version of Android OS this year since they've recently released the new Android 7.1.2 Nougat update on Pixel and Nexus device which is still in beta testing state and the official update will soon be rolling out in a matter of months on supported device. Now while this...

What on earth is happening to Samsung mobile technology?  This question has frequently been asked in similar ways by samsung mobile users. First it was the Note 7 catastrophic, which hasn't been fixed yet, and now the  almighty Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge has encountered severe issue that can be termed as a nightmare. Recently , a news circulated around the globe that the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge now has a strange and non-removable vertical pink line across its screen. Now the question is, how come does this  strange pink line suddenly starts displaying in almost all Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge smartphones (if not all). Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge users reported that the line turned up without the device experiencing any physical damage like drop of the device.  While the complaints is still circulating, other users of the device have found temporary repairs and management to the issue like implementing the use of inputting *#0*# dialed on the smartphone’s dial pad and then proceed ...

Telltale has finally released the walking dead season three on the Google play store. As a walking dead fan right from the TV series to the game series, you'd probably agree with me that the game is awesomely superb. As usual the walking dead season three is actually the continuation of the waking dead series (season 1, season 2). The game hasn't changed so far as the graphics has been improved more better than ever. The storyline is still outstanding as you've to take full control of Javier, a young man determined to find the family taken from him, you meet a young girl who has experienced her own unimaginable loss. Her name is Clementine, and your fates are bound together in a story where every choice you make could be your last. However one of the biggest but yet understanding problem you've to notice on the game is actually the compatibility issue. Telltale stated clearly that only the adreno and tegra GPU will be supported and the game plays perfectly well on the P...

Finally the long awaited official WhatsApp video calling feature has started rolling out on Android platform. In my previous post, I talked about  WhatsApp hitting the window device live  and it was quiet unusual since it was actually a widely know thing that Android platform receives updates first. However the video calling feature has arrived on Android OS too and its getting alot of buzz.  WhatsApp having over 1 billion monthly users is no new thing, integrating the video calling features is an improvement on its own considering how hard people had craved and waited for it. Currently the video calling feature rolling out on the Android platform is still in Beta version of the WhatsApp app. Users who uses the Beta version of the WhatsApp app won't need an update since its already integrated. Making a video call using the Beta version of the WhatsApp app is not something that can get you confuse. Let's brief you on how to make video call using the WhatsApp Beta vers...

WhatsApp users have been eagerly and patiently waiting for the video call to officially hit the WhatsApp platform as an update. Now WhatsApp has started rolling out video call feature on its messaging app. After series of update from the past month you do agree with me that the camera was measurely improved in such a way that it allows users to add stickers from any clicked photo they selected before sending. Another measure features to notice is how solid and eye catching the emoticon is. After the Facebook messenger received a video calling update, it was actually a big blow to the WhatsApp platform. Integrating video calling feature in WhatsApp follows last year roll out on the voice calling. According to a Spanish website onewindows.es. the update was launched in such a way that when you press the call button WhatsApp gives you two options, video call or voice, and once you select the video call, the video call begins choosing contact. One of the major thing to...
