Even as Google is getting ready to launch Android N later in the year, there are some devices out there that are still running on old Android iterations. This was clear in the latest Android distribution numbers that revealed that the latest public Android version, Marshmallow is still not the most popular one and is installed in just 10.1% of all devices. Going forward, Alcatel wants to change things and the way it rolls out the latest Android updates. The company is finally updating one its 2015 flagship, the Alcatel Idol 3 with Android Marshmallow. If you have this device,…

Back in March, Google officially released the first Android N preview for developers. We were not expecting to see it this early as the company usually unveils new Android iterations at its annual Google I/O event. When Google was releasing the developer preview, the company did not reveal the final name and this left us guessing as to which name the company will pick. The official release of Android N and the next Nexus devices will be happening in the next few months and Google plans to unveil the official Android N name way before that. The company has confirmed…

Samsung has been launching a new Galaxy Note device during the third quarter of every year and this year will not be different. We expect to see this device a few months from today. The 2016 iteration of the company’s phablet series is confusing at this point as some people are saying that Samsung will call it the Galaxy Note 7 and not the Note 6. We are still not sure why but this is what the rumours are suggesting. We don’t care so much about the name at this point, all we want to see is the device itself.…

At the beginning of every month, Google releases the latest Android distribution numbers that show us which Android versions are popular and which one are not. These numbers are important for developers who will know which Android versions to target if they are to get more downloads. The latest distribution numbers show that Android Marshmallow is installed in 10.1% of all Android devices. This is a slight increase from last month when it had a market share of 7.5%. The rise is pushed by manufacturers who are rolling out Android Marshmallow to their existing devices and the new devices they…

When it comes to social media, if your engagement numbers are low, you are definitely losing out. All the key players work so hard to get people to their platforms and when this happens they work even harder to keep them there. One of the ways to keep users on the platforms is to make sure they engage with other users and with the content being posted. In a move aimed at improving engagement, Snapchat has redesigned its Android and iOS apps. This redesign comes less than a week after we reported that the number of daily active users on…

There is very little innovation in the smartphone market right now and the different devices released by the different manufacturers are almost the same. This means that those manufacturers who want to stand out from the rest have to do something that will attract attention. We saw this with Huawei with its latest smartphone, the P9, which features a dual camera setup at the back. Now Samsung wants to do something crazy by introducing a smartphone with a foldable display. We have seen a uniquely curved display from LG with the G Flex but nothing like Samsung is working on. A…

If you own an iOS device, you probably know about the inter-app sharing feature that the company introduced back in 2014. This feature was announced when iOS 8 was rolling out and all it does is allow apps to communicate with each other. This feature lets apps send and receive data to each other with a simple interface, no need of switching between the different apps. For example, if you want to share a document to another app, let’s say email, you can go to the document and click share, no need of opening your email app. Ever since this…

Productivity is all about getting things done effectively be it in business or in your personal life. There are just 24 hours in a day and you need to use the hours you have to be more productive. You can be more productive by putting in a few extra hours or you can look for smart ways to work and still be productive. If you are like me, you will definitely prefer the ‘work smart’ option as it gets you the results you want within a short period of time and using less energy, this is what productivity is all…
