Foldable Samsung Galaxy X may launch next year
Who knows, perhaps the foldable Galaxy X is nearing the end of its long, long development process? The first time we have ever heard about Samsung’s attempt at foldable phones was way back in 2011. Ever since then Galaxy X suffered numerous leaks, gossips and release dates. Today we get another (rather general) release date given to the phone. This one, though, has much more credibility than most of the earlier rumoured dates. Why? Because this time it is Koh Dong-Jin, president of Samsung Mobile himself, stating that Samsung Galaxy X will be released sometime during 2018.Whether or ...

Twitter might release an official twitterstorm function
If you are interested in this news then you probably already know what a twitterstorm is, but I will explain just in case. When Twitter was created, it was made for people to write short, 140-signs messages, slim, compact and straight to the point. What, though, if someone wants to write more? They can, in a roundabout way – they have to post one tweet, then another, and then more if needed, which, while absolutely possible, is tad cumbersome.So, what is the news? According to The Next Web, an earlier unknown function is now hidden in the Android version of the Twitter app. This ...
Private profile for ”real” Facebook friends
Most of us have lots of Facebook friends (I have ten, but I am me). These friends often consist of a variety of people – actual friends, acquaintances, coworkers and associates, teachers, bosses, family. Often we want to share something on FB that we would rather not have all of them seeing. Facebook surely noticed this First World Problem and decided to deal with it, even if the way it does so can be considered unsavory.FB is testing a new function that will allow its user to create new, private profiles. What does ”private” mean? In this case, it reportedly means that ...
Nokia 3’s OS updated to Android 7.1.1
Nokia 3, the cheapest of recent Nokia phones, have just had its Android OS updated to Nougat 7.1.1. The update is late – Juho Sarvikas, CEO of HMD Global, promised we will get it by the end of August – but better late than never, right? Of course, we should still hate Nokia for breaking its word and give it as much grief as humanly possibly. As for the update itself, it does not change much: new OS functions, improved interface and system stability, the works. Update weights almost 750 megabytes, so before you download it, make sure that your phone is charged and connected to ...

BlackBerry Priv will not be getting its OS upgraded to Nougat
Sorry, Priv owners; as it turns out, update to Marshmallow was the last OS update this phone will ever receive. This news was officially confirmed by Alex Thurber, General Manager of BlackBerry Mobility Solutions. The reason stated is difficulty in getting together all partners neccessary for the effort. Mr. Thurber has also stated that the popular KEYone will indeed be getting its OS updated to Oreo, although we still do not know exacly when this will happen. My guess is that we will have to wait until 2018. ...
New Facebook function, or how FB tries to be Tinder
Facebook is going through a number of changes and additions lately. Many of them can be summed up by sighing and saying ”Why bother? FB is good as it is”. Such was my reaction when I heard today’s news.The new function works in a way similiar to Tinder. Every Facebook user is said to receive a list of people he or she can hit on – it is uncertain whether this will just be your friends list or a new list somehow concocted by the portal itself. Next to every person there will be ”to date” and ”not to date” options. If you decide to try to ...
Australians would rather pay less for their iPhones
No duh, right? Everyone would rather pay less for their everything. Still, this is a smartphone news blog, not everything blog, so you will forgive me for reporting smartphone-related news. According to an article by Gizmodo, one thousand Australians were surveyed to answer the question ”How much are you willing to pay for iPhone 8?”. Survey results show that people would rather pay much less for their shiny new iPhones than Apple asks them to (again, no duh):– Australian price for iPhone 8 is said to be $1500. According to the survey, average Aussie would rather pay ...
