If you have used the YouTube Android app, you will agree with me that it is not the best in terms of functionality.

It finally looks like Google is ready to give YouTube a major update that improves functionality. This update will be rolled out very soon according to the guys at…

A few weeks ago, we told you about the Samsung Galaxy A9 and the Galaxy A9 Pro smartphones that were launched in China. Back then, we were not sure if Samsung had any plans to launch them internationally. These smartphones came with very impressive specs and it would not make sense for Samsung to not launch them in other markets. The Galaxy A9 Pro is one of the most impressive smartphones from Samsung that did not make so much noise when launched. We are used to Samsung being proud of its devices and making sure everyone knows about them when…

In any market, the forces of supply and demand detect what the market players do. HTC is making some changes with its tablet lineup and is killing off the Nexus 9 due to low demand.

The company is saying that the drop in shipment has to happen as it focuses on releasing high end devices and not investing so much on new mid-range devices. Sony has always had…

Yesterday, we told you about the first smartphone under Samsung’s new Galaxy C Series, the Galaxy C5. This was not the only smartphone that Samsung has been working on as the company also had the Galaxy C7 which is a superior device compared to the C5.

With the Samsung Galaxy C5 out of the way, the company went ahead to unveil the Galaxy C7 to the world. The phone was launched in China and the company has…
