Two days ago, we told you that Google will officially release its smart messaging app, Allo, today (September 21st).

These devices will have the ‘Pixel’ branding and will be bold step taken by Google. We have seen Google partner with other smartphone manufacturers for the Nexus devices but the Pixel line is a totally different concept. October 4 is about two weeks away but some people already have the first Pixel Smartphones with them. With this, we have got to see the first leaked photos of the Pixel and Pixel XL which will be the…

Huawei recently unveiled the Nova and Nova Plus Smartphones that target the mid range market segment. These are not the only Smartphones that the company has been working on this year, we are still expecting the Huawei Mate 9 that we initially thought the company was going to unveil at its IFA event that saw the unveiling of the Nova and Nova Plus. Launching the Nova and Nova Plus at IFA was a bold move by Huawei as this could have backfired and worked against the company in favor of other manufacturers. This did not happen and in the end…

A few months ago, we asked a very important question, should Google build its own phones? At that time, there were rumors that the company has plans to build its own Smartphones and we were concerned that this might not work well as the other smartphone manufacturers might not take this move very well. Google never officially announced that it was working on its own Smartphones and the last time we heard about this was when information that Google plans to do away with the Nexus branding from its yearly Smartphones surfaced. Even with no official communication from Google, we…

This will allow users to share more when interacting with others when on the site. The…

Google has never has massive success with social networking and messaging platforms, if you don’t count YouTube. The company has had a number of products on the market but they have not been any successful one. A few months ago at Google I/O 2016, the company announced Allo and Duo. These are its latest messaging and calling apps that we were not sure why the company decided to unveil since we have seen many products from the company that never had an impact on the market. Even with that said, Google was not shaken and chose to announce that the…
