Not so long ago, we told you that some Twitter users had reported seeing the Night Mode option when using Twitter on desktop. Well, It looks like the company finally is ready to roll out this option to all users.

This was revealed by a…

When Google revealed the name of the next Android iteration a couple of weeks back, the company said that the first people that will be getting the update are those who own Pixel and Nexus devices and had enrolled in the Android Beta program. For the rest of the users, they had to sit and wait. It looks like those who were not enrolled in the Android Beta program but own Pixel and Nexus smartphones will not be waiting any longer.

It’s been so long since we heard about the Android One Program. I even thought that Google was abandoning this program as we have not seen any devices in the program recently. For those who do not know, the Android One Program is similar to the Nexus program Google had a couple of years back but the difference is the former is meant for the low and mid-range market segment. In this program Google partners with a smartphone manufacturer to release a device that comes with decent specs and stock Android for the software all for a reasonable price. The…

Introduction Over the last few years, we have seen manufacturers go with bigger displays on some of their smartphones. These devices have always been referred to as Phablets.

Instagram introduced Stories as a way for users to share moments of their day and at the same time follow what their friends are up to. Ever since this feature was introduced, it was only present to those who were using the app, those using Instagram’s web platforms had no way of seeing the stories shared by their friends or even upload stories themselves. This will be changing very soon as Instagram is taking Stories to the mobile version of its website. This means that even those who do not have the Instagram app will still be able to see…

The one big addition to the Infinix Note 4 Pro is the…
