Yesterday, Android 7.0 Nougat started rolling out to existing Nexus devices. The update is currently available for a few Nexus devices and this means that we should start seeing some manufacturers releasing new devices with the OS. A few weeks ago, LG came out and revealed that it will be the first manufacturer to release a smartphone with Android Nougat, this smartphone will be the LG V20. When LG came out with the claims, we were not so sure that will be the case as new Nexus devices are usually the first ones to come with the latest Android iteration.…

Fast forward that a few weeks later and the feature is finally available on the official Twitter for iOS app available on the…

Xiaomi has always pushed the limits with its devices by doing what other manufacturers are not willing or ready to do. We have seen this from time to time since the company ventured into the smartphone market not so long ago. The company’s upcoming phablet, the Mi Note 2 will push the limits if what we have seen about it turns out to be true. Xiaomi is planning to use the Mi Note 2 to compete with devices such as the recently launched Galaxy Note 7 and other phablets on the market. Xiaomi is good at doing this by positioning…

Facebook is undoubtedly the king of social media but the company is not having an easy time attracting millennials to its platforms. Most young people prefer to go with other platforms such as Snapchat and this has slowed down Facebook’s growth the last couple of years. To capture this young audience, Facebook has released a new app called Lifestage. This app can only be downloaded by those under 21 years old. The app is available on iOS and is part of Facebook’s plan to get people to its platforms and hopefully far away from Snapchat and the rest. It is…

When something is not working, the best decision is to axe it or look for way to make it work. For Samsung, its Milk Music streaming service available for its Galaxy devices in select markets is not working and the company has announced that it is shutting it down. Milk Music arrived back in 2014 and Samsung was using it to take on the big boys of the streaming world but that did not happen and shutting it down is the best possible decision they can make right now. The company has announced that it is shutting the service on…

Twitter is keen to ensure those who use its platform have the best experience possible. The company has been implementing a number of changes this year to make sure people engage with each other and thus spend more time on the site. The company desperately wants people to spend more time on its platforms if it is to convince advertisers that it makes sense for them to spend their ad revenue advertising on its platforms. The latest changes are also aimed at improving users experience with the first one allowing you to get notifications from people you follow and the…

Back in July, Infinix launched the Hot S smartphone in Nigeria. This was the first smartphone from the company to come with a fingerprint sensor and the company’s new customized UI, XOS. When the phone was launched in Nigeria, I reached out to my sources inside Infinix here in Kenya to ask the if the company has any plans to bring the phone into the country. The answer I got from them was no, at least for the short term until they launch the Infinix Note 3. Well, the Note 3 was launched in the country two days ago and…
