The Note 4’s camera specs recently leaked. And if these specs are true, then the Note 4 may have the best smartphone camera on the market today. Here’s what SamMobile.com learned about the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 camera: -16MP Sony IMX240 sensor (the same sensor that appeared on the Korean version of the…
I rarely get jealous of iPhone users. But when I do, it’s because I’m jealous about iOS’s unified update system. When one iPhone gets an update, the rest of the iPhones get the update too. Fortunately, Google, carriers, and phone manufacturers are getting a little better about Android updates. Today, Android updates occur every few months and (usually) introduce various performance-enhancing features and tools. But some phones get more updates than others. Obviously, Nexus…

From blurry pictures of the HTC One M8 to the first major discussion of Android Silver, @evleaks has given us lots to talk about over the years. We’re sad to see him go. But before he entered retirement, Evan gave us one last parting gift: the world’s exclusive first…
You remember Flappy Bird, right? The stupidly difficult game that was dramatically pulled from the app store after the creator “went crazy” due to “stress”? Well, that creator, Dong Nguyen, has finally released his second game. Nguyen released Swing Copters earlier today for iOS and Android. The game features a very similar visual style to Flappy Bird but different gameplay elements. In Swing Copters, players repeatedly tap to navigate their player through a maze of swinging…
Last year, an app called WeTransfer launched on iOS devices. WeTransfer made it easy to swap large files. After installing WeTransfer, anyone could send a file as large as 10GB with a single flick of the finger. It took a few months for WeTransfer to arrive on Android, but it’s finally here. That’s right: you can now install WeTransfer for Android and enjoy the ability to send/receive files as large as 10GB. Here’s how it works: Step 1) Install WeTransfer for free from the…

Google after its launch of the Android platform has been competing with both Apple and Microsoft in the rapidly expanding smart phone market. As of now, it is on a winning streak, garnering more than 80% of the market with its conventional and forked Android platforms adorning a whole range of handsets across the world. It is therefore not surprising to find it overtaking the Apple iOS even in data usage. Yes, even after all the hype and buzz for iOS 8, it has been found that Android data…
It has been an eventful six years of Google Android. From a tentative start, this operating system has really gained strength and as things stand now, will have a much brighter future as well. Reason For Android Success As with anything new at the beginning, Android too had its share of issues. But Google hit a master stroke by bundling Android with affordable smart phones across the world. Countries like China and India that have seen an exponential growth in smart phone sales took to this…
Apple has not been the recipient of good news for some time now. Its flagging iPad sales and the fact that Google Android has even overtaken it in data usage and the imminent launch of Android L have all come at the same time. However, this latest revelation by an anonymous leaker about the Gamma Group should warm its cockles. Gamma Group Acknowledges Apple iPhone As Hack Proof The Gamma Group has the honor of being one of the top surveillance companies in the world. An anonymous leaker…
The idea was a good one. Running the famous and popular Android on a gadget like the notebook appears to be in tune with the times. However, the HP Slatebook 14 has not measured up to expectations and we will see why. Cannot Get ChromeCast On Full Screen Firstly, the concept of using the in demand HP Chromebook 14 hardware and jazzing it up with a different color has not had the impact. Though the speakers are better and the screen resolution at 1920x1080 HD is also much better, the use…
