After almost a year of no updates, times have a-changed for Moto X Pure Edition in the US. Motorola has just released a patch that updates phone’s operating system to Android 7.0 Nougat. While not the newest OS on the block, Nougat 7.0 is still more than sufficient for a comfortable, improved phone utilization. Update also includes September security patch, so you will be relatively safer than before.USA is not the first country to receive a Moto X PE update, and will probably not be the last. We do not know which countries will get the update, though, nor when. Also, do not count on ...

Samsung is reportedly working on an inward-folding smartphone
While Samsung working on a folding smartphone is nothing new (it will be awesome when it comes to fruition, but we have heard about the plans for a good few years now), the company always mentioned it is an outward-folding device. According to a newest report though, what the company is proposing is an inward-folding device with 3R curvature (whatever that means). Does this mean that Samsung abandoned its long-going project and started a new one? If true, this news means that we will probably not see a curved device anytime soon, no matter which way it curves in. ...

Large leak of Huawei Mate 10
There is much to report, so lets forgo the usual preface and get right to it:– Mate 10 will not be the only phone Huawei will present on October 16th. As confirmed by by Huawei’s CEO, Mate 10 Pro will also make an appearance,– Mate 10 will not neccessarily feature an edge-to-edge display. This honour will probably fall to Mate 10 Pro alone, although this is not 100% certain, as earlier reports suggest edge-to-edge design in Mate 10 as well,– Mate 10 Pro will have a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner,- one of the phones will come in a gold colour variant,– ...
Twitter might double its character limit
Tweeter will soon begin a, quote, ”small public test” to see what happens when some of its users are allowed to post tweets 280 letters long. Twitter has a few official explanations for this, but they all boil down to, basically, ”many people want to type in more”. It may also be Twitter’s attempt to draw in more users; Twitter is very popular (328 million users per month), but still has a way to go if it wants to beat Instagram (800 million) or, hah, Facebook (two billion, good luck with that).What do you think? Will longer tweets serve Twitter well or will ...
Bill Gates switched to Android
Just in case anyone cares…According to a recent interview that Mr. Gates gave on Fox News, the ex-CEO of Microsoft is now using phone with an Android operating system. He did not say which Android phone is he using, nor what device was he using before that. Presumably it was a Windows phone, but no one knows for certain. When asked about iPhone, he only said ”no, no iPhone”.That is all, at least unless you want to delve into realm of gossip and conjectures. Tweet Vote on ...
China blocks WhatsApp
Chinese government has a long and not very warm relationship with WhatsApp. The application has been hindered multiple times in the land of dragons and gunpowder: its voice chat, as well as video chat, was blocked, you could not send pictures et cetera. Now the Chinese have made a logical step forward and pretty much blocked the application from usage. They did it by blocking the possibility of sending text messages by the app, basically rendering it useless. You still can made video and audio calls with it, but you can just use your phone to do that, so meh. The way the Chinese government ...

Your heart holds the key to the future of mobile security
If you thought that unlocking your phone with your pretty face is high-tech, get a load of this. A group of researchers is working on a method of unlocking devices with just your heart, or rather its size and shape. It will require your phone to be equipped with a miniaturized version of a low-level Doppler radar which will scan your heart’s dimensions. If your heart is in the right place (ha!), your phone will unlock automatically. It is said that the unlock will work over a pretty long range, too, up to 100 feet.Researchers (I do not know the group’s name, sorry) believe that ...
