Updating the Galaxy S6 edge+ comes a few weeks after the company introduced its 2016 flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge. These already come with Android Marshmallow straight out of the box so they do not need any updates at the moment. The Android marshmallow update for the…

Twitter launched its own live streaming app, periscope, in March last year to give users the chance to livestream whatever they are doing to a global audience.

With this growth Google also wants a share of the pie. It is being reported that Google is working on its own live streaming app that will see it rival periscope and Facebook Live. Google already has YouTube and the new live streaming app may…

Huawei will be unveiling its 2016 flagship smartphone, the Huawei P9, early next month on April 6. Just like what it did last year, the company will also be unveiling two other variants of this smartphone, the Huawei P9 Lite and P9 Max. The P9 Lite will be smaller in size compared to the original P9 and will not have most of its premium specs. The P9 Max on the other hand will have a bigger size and slightly better specs for the high end market segment. Most people had expected the Huawei P9 Lite to be a downgraded version…

Less than a month ago, WhatsApp announced that it will no longer be supporting the not so popular mobile platforms including BlackBerry. This news did not go well with BlackBerry and its fans as it was seen as a malicious move considering that there are still many people using the platform out there.

Two days ago, Apple introduced its cheapest smartphone of 2016, the iPhone SE. This smartphone borrows a lot from the iPhone 5s which was launched a couple of years back. With the launch of the iPhone SE, Apple is said to be discontinuing the iPhone 5s, the phone it copies a lot from. This move makes a lot of sense since Apple wants people to opt for the iPhone SE which has much better specs. Apple has even delisted the iPhone 5s from its website replacing it with the iPhone SE. This is not strange for Apple as the company…

HTC announced that it will be unveiling the HTC 10 on April through its Twitter…
