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....

Now you can ask follow up requests on Alexa without Saying 'Hey Alexa'

Author:

Alexa users around the globe would be forever grateful to Amazon Inc for this one, cos you and I know how annoying it can be having to use the "Alexa" command every time a request is to be made. With this innovation, having a conversation with the Alexa AI becomes a bit more natural.
This new feature is available in all hands-free Amazon device, talking about the echo, echo dot and echo spot.
For those thinking " what if I'm not referring to Alexa in my next request would Alexa reply nonetheless", Well, the good news is that, the AI has also been programmed to discern direct requests from background noise. According to Amazon, the follow up won't work if Alexa "isn't confident you are speaking to her".

According to Megan Rose from TechCrunch,
This opt-in feature enables Alexa to listen for five seconds after she’s served up her first response. You’ll know if Alexa is ready for a follow-up question if the blue indicator light is on after Alexa answers your first question. If you have nothing else to say, homegirl will go back to sleep until you “Hey, Alexa” her again.

Taking advantage of the Follow up integration already, let us know how convenient it's been for you in the comments.
Stay Frosty :)

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...

LG G7 with ThinQ AI features hit the market with 70000 pre-orders

Author:
The LG G7 ThinQ was finally released for sale about a week ago, and despite the rough landing they've had in previous releases, this particular model has managed to score so much as 70,000 pre-order sales in just six days. This is almost twice as much as the G6 sale (40,000) around the same time frame last year. Note this is just in South Korea, so there's still a chance to get higher sales numbers when it eventually goes global. Source

Amazon to launch Echo, Echo Plus and Echo Dot in Japan

Author:
After Amazon launched the Echo, Echo Plus, and Echo Dot in Japan some days ago, it made the hardware together with the Alexa voice assistant available in the country. While Amazon claims to have an Alexa voice search for Japan soon, developers can gain access to Alexa skills which also has support for Japanese and it has Alexa available for customers also along with a list of apps and services that amazon has to offer. While this new device might help to boost amazon’s market in Japan, it is very unlikely that it will help them to overtake Rakuten, as Japan’s biggest E-commerce firm. Although Amazon has offered e-books in Japan since 2010 and as of today has a full suite of Prime services, considerable amount of work would still be required if they are to ever overtake Rakuten. Due to the fact that Japan has the third largest Global economy, Amazon would still be in for a potentially lucrative market in Japan.   Amazon also launched a basic edition of its Fire TV Stic...

The iPhone X full phone review and specifications

Author:
       When we talk about the iPhone series, a lot comes to mind, and one of those things is the cutting edge they build into their products, in light of this, the iPhone X (ten) is no exception and this article shows what the 1000 dollar smartphone will do for you.  Design        Alright first off, let’s talk aesthetics, Apple took quite a bit of a different approach on the iPhone X, ditching the bezels and taking out the home button (more on that in a moment). The front and back has a complete glass finish which according to Apple are supposedly the more durable on a smart phone, but you really don’t wanna test that out cause apparently a glass replacement for the back of the iPhone X costs about three times as much as the screen replacement, so do the math. The part of the smartphone that isn’t glass is made with surgical grade stainless steel which has been sealed for dust and water resistance. According to Apple the iphone X will be ...
