This information was shared by the company’s Co-founder Benjamin Jiang with the image of the iPhone 7 Plus and the caption “Infinix is also on the way to the Dual… See you soon.” Mr Jiang did not specifically say…

Pokémon Go has been hitting the headlines ever since the game was officially released on the Apple App store and Google Play Store. Back in August, we told you that the app crossed the 100 million download mark after just three weeks after its public release. This is a huge milestone for any app and specifically for Pokémon Go as it is not available in all markets as on now. Fast forward a few weeks later and the app has just hit another milestone. According to the Pokémon company and Niantic, the app has been downloaded over 500 million times.…

Instagram is making some changes to its platform and one of them has to do with photo maps. The photo map feature has been on Instagram since its initial days and it looks like the company is finally getting rid of it. The Photo map feature allowed users to see their photos and those of other users on a map as long as the photos were geotagged. Photos that were taken in a particular location were all bunched together and users could zoom into the map to see the specific locations where the photos were taken. You could see the…

Apple as finally unveiled its latest smartphones, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. The standard iPhone 7 has a 4.7-inch display for those who are not fans of big screen smartphones.

The display aside, iPhone 7 stands out as being the first smartphone from the company to have IP67 certification meaning that it is water and dust resistant. It can survive a one-meter plunge in water for 30 minutes. This…

Back in April this year, Huawei officially launched its 2016 flagship smartphone, the Huawei P9. This smartphone received so much praise from tech enthusiasts as it was one of the most affordable flagship devices you can get right now. The phone comes with specs you can find in most flagship smartphones but beats these flagships when it comes to price. The Huawei P9’s price has helped a lot the device in terms of sales. The company has recorded impressive sales figures since the P9 was launched compared to what other manufacturers have been recording. Within the first 6 weeks of…

When Apple announced that it was bringing its music streaming service to Android, we were not sure what to make of it. We were not expecting Android users to embrace Apple Music as there is usually some sort of bad blood between Android and Apple and we thought this would extend to the app. It looks like we were wrong and Apple Music seems to have quite a number of fans on Android. The app has just hit the 10 Million download mark on the Play Store which is pretty. The app has been available on Android since November last…

When it comes to adopting the latest OS on smartphones, Apple’s iOS usually has the highest rates compared to other platforms. This has been the case for years as Apple tends to control everything when it comes to iOS and Google doesn’t have that much to control when it comes to Android.

This includes all devices that can run iOS 9 which easily translates to the recent iPhones, iPads and iPod touch devices on the market. iOS 9 was…

Huawei’s partnership with Leica is about to give the company’s next phablet, the Mate 9, the dual camera treatment we have seen on the company’s most recent flagship, the Huawei P9. We know that Huawei will be launching the Mate 9 before the end of the year but the company has not confirmed any specs so all we can do is speculate as to what it will do. For the Huawei P9, the two cameras have different sensors with one collecting color information while the other one capturing a monochrome image. The two are then combined into a single image.…
