Samsung Galaxy S8 Bugs

We all know Samsung Galaxy S8 has launched and now some people are loving it and some are not due to changes in the design this year. Pretty much the design and build quality is perfect for me as the screen to body ratio has increased a lot from 72.1% to 84.57%. It's a lot when it comes to average screen to body ratio. We also see that the screen size is increased from 5.1 to 5.8 inches from the past year's flagship. There are other changes too but not too that much. In the software part, Samsung has has launched Bixby assistant in the phone. and also facial recognition which is not secure.  Since the Galaxy S8 facial recognition feature uses 2D technology, all a scammer would need to break into it is a picture of the phone's owner. They only need to put a picture on the display of one phone and hold it in front of the other phone and snap, they're in. It's that simple. So just think of security before buying this phone. Also it keeps on rebooting spontaniousl

Google Calculator's most awaited feature..

Google Calculator is one of the most loved calculators by us. It provides instant result to the mathematical operations as well as its available on almost all stock Android devices. This wasn't perfect as a calculator though. Why? It did not have 'show history' feature as most of other calculators had.

Also another feature which was needed to be added was MS, MR, M+, M-. The MS (Memory Store) button copies the number from the screen to the memory. The MR (Memory Recall) button brings the memory value back to the screen. M+ and M- add or subtract the screen value from the memory val

Nokia's comeback in Mobile industry 2017

Nokia has done a comeback in mobile industry in 2017 with a new smartphone running on Android OS. Yeah finally Nokia moved from Windows to Android. I remember the words said by Anssi Vanjoki (Former head of smartphones) 'Using Android is like pissing in your pants for warmth in winter'. I think he must have realized it later when he caught cold. Huh! Well nevertheless Late is better than never so today Nokia (Actually HMD Global) launched 'Nokia 6' with a Snapdragon 430 processor and a 3000mAh (Which could be better since it's loved for its battery life especially in India)  in China for 1699 yuan (INR 16,700 approx.) . The phone will be manufactured by HMD Global under the brand name of Nokia since Nokia is not forgotten yet. Have we? Ofcourse not, so here are the specs for the smartphone. I wouldn't say it's a better pick for this price but again the brand value matters. Let's see what will be the next few devices to be launched in this year and
