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…

For those who have been waiting for the HTC 10, you will not be waiting for long as the company plans to officially unveil it next month on April 12. We have been hearing about this smartphone but HTC never confirmed its launch date until now.

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

At the beginning of this year, Samsung made it clear that it had plans to update most of its flagship smartphones launched within the last two years to Android Marshmallow. There was even a leaked roadmap that revealed that all the recent Galaxy S flagships were to get this update by April this year. We even saw the update start rolling out to the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge back in February. With the S6 and S6 Edge out of the way, Samsung has moved to the Galaxy S5. Some people using the Galaxy S5 in Samsung’s home country of…

Cross platform compatibility of smartwatches is not something we are used to. Most smartwatches tend to support one platform and ignore all the rest completely. This was even taken a notch higher when Samsung unveiled its first smartwatch which it said will be able to support a few of its Galaxy Smartphones. The company changed this strategy with its later smartwatches. Back in January Samsung announced that its latest smartwatch, the Gear S2, will be able to support iOS devices. The company had announced that this feature was to be available by the end of January but this never happened.…

Yesterday, Apple unveiled its cheapest smartphone of 2016, the iPhone SE. This smartphone is not cheap by normal standards but by Apple’s standards, it is very affordable.  Apple refers to this phone as the most powerful phone with a four-inch display. This is sort of true but then again, are people interested in smartphones with 4 inch displays anymore? Besides the size, the iPhone SE is a very interesting device. Apple has always ignored the mid-range market segment and it is nice to see the company finally cater for this segment. There are many Apple fans out there who want…
