Samsung Galaxy S Light Luxury now Official

Author:
The Galaxy S Light Luxury was just announced in China packing very modest specs, the device is pretty much a "lite" variant of the Galaxy S8. The 5.8' screen from the S8 makes a return keeping the same dimensions as its bigger brother. The Light S features the same Super AMOLED panel with 1,080 x 2,220 px resolution (18.5:9). The phone has a single camera on the back - 16 MP sensor and an f/1.7 aperture. It can record 4K video at 30 fps, but OIS is absent (surprisingly). The selfie camera has an 8 MP sensor with an f/1.7 aperture. The Snapdragon 660 chipset inside the Galaxy S Light Luxury should offer similar CPU performance to the Galaxy S8's 835. It does have 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. Given the Galaxy S Light Luxury's size, it shouldn’t be a surprise that there’s a 3,000 mAh battery – the same capacity as the Galaxy S8. There’s support for fast wireless and wired charging, the latter of which goes over the USB-C port....

Gionee M7 Official Specs and Price

Author:


The Gionee M7 was unveiled recently with a really impressive design and some awesome features for a really modest price. The M7 or M2017 debuted with a really impressive display dubbed “FullVision” Screen with an aspect ratio of 18:9 and an edge-to-edge 6.01” screen with a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels. This device was launched with Amigo OS 5 based on Android 7.1 Nougat.


The M7 is not a stranger to performance either as it comes equipped with the Helio P30 SoC which was unveiled by Mediatek in August. The SoC features eight Cortex-A53 cores, four high performance cores clocked at 2.3GHz and four power efficient cores clocked at 1.65GHz. This package is well paired with a 6GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage which can be expanded further to 256GB via the dedicated microSD slot.


A pair of cameras grace the rear of this device, 16MP and 8MP respectively. There is also a fingerprint scanner for added security. The front of the device is devoid of any physical keys as it is near ‘bezeless’ and an 8MP selfie shooter is situated at the top of the device. A 4,000 mAh battery keeps the lights on.

I know right now you may be comparing the M7 to the Galaxy S8 and you wouldn’t be far off one bit. The Gionee M7 may not pack top of the line specs, but considering the $422 price tag it is definitely worth it. The lack of a Type-C USB 3.0 port was rather a let-down for me as well as no 4K video recording as well. What do you think? Is it a worthy competitor in the aggressive smartphone market? Let me know your thoughts below in the comments section.

iOS Apps Can Spy on You Through Your iPhone's Camera

Author:
Another privacy loophole in the apple iOS was discovered when top iOS researcher and founder of Fastlane Tools, Felix Krause, noticed the problem in the mobile firmware. He said that apple was leaving its camera and recording access so loosely such that third party apps can easily spy on users without any warning. Krause explained that “iOS users often grant camera access to an app soon after they download it (e.g. to add an avatar or to send a photo) and these apps, like a messaging app or any news feed based app, can easily track the users face, take pictures, or live stream the front or back camera without the user’s content.” He further explained that a worse-case scenario will be an app that is installed and asks once for the camera access to either take an avatar or upload an image but then secretly upload pictures of the user on the internet. He also noticed that under the latest iOS version apps have been given to much freedom in the sense that it cou...

What to Expect of the Blackberry Motion - Review and Specs

Author:
For some time there have been rumors about BlackBerry’s new release - that goes by the name “BlackBerry Krypton” (pretty powerful name huh?) floating around , I haven't really known much about the upcoming product except its month of launch … Until now that is. Recently renowned leaker Mr. Evan Blass put a face (so to speak) to our thoughts, guesses and rumors on Twitter with the name BlackBerry “Motion”. His Twitter handle put out the photo accompanied with the text “Goodbye, Krypton. Hello, BlackBerry Motion”. Why that name? I can’t say for sure but it could be guessed that it probably has something to do with a specially featured function. Now down to her looks, as gotten from the photo of our dear leaker Mr. Blass. Much like its earlier released sibling –The BlackBerry DTEK50, her creators have forgone the physical keyboard (a signature feature design of BB’s for years) could this be the norm for BlackBerry’s succeeding devices? Might be, might not be. But personally the...

Innjoo Vision Review and Specifications

Author:
Chinese OEM, Innjoo, just announced a new smartphone for the Nigerian market.

MY TOP ANIME OF 2017 ( FIRST HALF)    

Author:
Having this as my first write up, I’ll say that you pardon my speech pattern and organization. I’ll probably get to used to it the more I write and also I hope to get a positive feedback from you guys at the end of the write up So basically here’s my own arrangement of the top animes that is to be seen in the first half of the year. I was thinking of arranging them irrationally and with no specific order but I decided to place the personaly according to the order that I feel is more interesting. So first off, I’m still in my anime grooming phase so I beckon on the anime otaku(s) to not judge me so hard. Alright, lets get to it. 1. Boruto I know I know, this kid of makes me come off as a Naruto fanatic, but really I just love a good anime and while Borut clearly seems to come from Naruto (obviously I mean he’s naruto’s son), there’s this added mystery to what boruto can offer us. I mean I hate to give spoilers but we have the dojutsu on his right eye whose abilities ha...
