Google has just pushed the first update to Google Glass, the first one in three years. Google Glass was launched back in October 2014 but never really attracted mainstream consumers to buy it. This was back when Wearables had just hit the market and Google thought that they would conquer the market with Glass, well this never happened. Well, the device that was never successful just got its first firmware update that brings native support for pairing Glass with Bluetooth devices among other minor performance tweaks and bug fixes. Even though this is sort of a minor update, it is…

Are you one of the people who are still using devices running Android 2.1 or older?

Android 2.1 was released way back in 2010 but there are still people who are using it. Its market share is insignificant according to the latest Android distribution numbers that Google released at the beginning of the month. When…

A couple of days ago, we told you that Infinix is working on its next phablet, the Note 4, that it will be unveiling very soon.

The online retailer has a dedicated listing for the Note 4 that it says will be unveiled soon. The listing reveals all the key specifications of the phone but does not say anything about the price.

Spotify is undoubtedly a force to reckon with in the online music streaming industry. The service is not available in all markets but in the markets it is available in, it commands a huge customer base. Even though it has some serious competitors, it has managed to stay at the top. The company is now reporting that it has crossed the 140 million users mark. It reported this on Friday and this is quite a significant increase from late last year when its user base was 126 million and one year ago when its user base was at 100 million.…

Every year, Infinix unveils a new phablet under its ‘Note’ series. Devices under this series are known for their big sizes and equally big batteries. The original Infinix Hot Note was one of the first devices that put Infinix on the map since back then we never saw such massive devices (with long lasting batteries) in the entry level segment. For 2017, the Infinix Note 4 will be the company’s phablet that will be replacing the Note 3 which was launched back in 2016. We do not know anything about the Infinix Note 4 but the company is already teasing…

Being the first in-house devices by Google, we are all keen to see how they will perform as they compete directly with all the other Android smartphones. Google has not officially disclosed how many Pixel smartphones have been sold so far and we do not expect that to happen anytime soon. The company is very secretive with the figures but that is not a big…

Last year, Google introduced its new smartphone family, the Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones, to the world. Even though the two phones had Google’s branding, they were manufactured by HTC. Google had partnered with HTC back when the Nexus program was active and we expected the successors to the Pixel and Pixel XL to be made by HTC too. Well, it looks like we will not be getting what we expected as HTC will not be making both phones this year. HTC will still be in the mix as the company will be making the successor to the original Pixel…
