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....

Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Details and Specifications

Author:

The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones have just been unveiled by Google as an upgrade to the ‘Pixel’ and ‘Pixel XL’.

Google Pixel 2



The Google Pixel is an upgrade over Its predecessor. It comes equipped with a 5” AMOLED display, and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, which is not much of an upgrade but the compact size should be welcomed by folks that do not have large hands. The bezels on the top and the bottom of the Pixel 2, whilst sporting stereo speakers, comes off as a disappointment with the “Full Vision “18:9 screens and “edge-to-edge” displays being the hype of 2017.



The Pixel 2 sports a rather nifty feature that appears to have been borrowed from the HTC U11. The devices can detect pressure on the sides of the phone, i.e. you can squeeze the device in order to activate certain pre-set commands such as activating Google Assistant etc.



The Pixel 2 is powered by the 8-core Snapdragon 835 SoC by Qualcomm which is paired up nicely with 4GB of RAM. Just like its predecessor, there is no card slot on this device and you are limited to storage options of 64/128GB. The Pixel 2 is expected to launch on the 17th of October with a starting price of $650 for the base model and $750 if you want more storage space. The colour options include “Kinda Blue”,” Just Black” and “Clearly White”.

Google Pixel 2 XL



The Google Pixel 2 XL is the premium device among the pair released. A quick visual inspection of the device and it is clear what has been upgraded. The Pixel 2 XL sports a nifty 18:9 P-OLED display. The screen measures 6” in size with a resolution of 1440 x 2880 pixels. There is a polarizer which should greatly improve the sunlight legibility. The display has Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for added screen protection.


The Pixel 2 XL, just like the Pixel 2, is equipped with a 12MP main camera equipped with OIS and an 8MP f/2.4 selfie camera which appears to be the same as those present in the previous generation. The Snapdragon 835 is also present here as well as the same storage options from the Pixel 2 (sorry, no 256GB for you guys).



One feature about these devices is the presence of an “eSIM” which will enable its users access ‘Google Fi’ as well as several other services from their respective carriers. The device is powered by a 3,520mAh battery and there is also IP67 rating for water resistance.
The Pixel 2 XL is expected sometime in November at a starting price of $850 for the 64GB model or $950 for the 128GB model. The colour options are “Just Black” and “Black & White”.

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. Dubbed ‘Vision’, this device is poised to be budget friendly and should offer more than enough value for money offering 4G LTE connectivity and a great battery. DISPLAY The Vision packs a 5.8-inch IPS LCD screen with a HD+ (720 x 1280px) resolution. This gives it an 18:9 aspect ratio in a bid to keep up with the 2017 trend. The screen of this device is rather impressive with a touch of 2.5D glass blending the screen to the near invincible bezels on the sides of the display. CAMERA Innjoo Vision Rear The camera on the rear of this device is an 13MP unit. The actual manufacturer is not stated but given the price range, it could be a GalaxyCore sensor or an aging Sony IMX sensor and a 5-piece lens. The selfie shooter is an 8MP unit. Both cameras come with “Enhanced capture” and Bokeh effect. There is also an After Focus editor to modify the focus range/point of your images. PERFORM...

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...

Author:
HMD just took the wraps of the Nokia 6 (2018).
