Samsung on Wednesday held its much anticipated unpacked event where the Korean tech giants unveiled two phones from its flagship series; the S8 and the S8 plus. The event that was held in New York city but streamed live from different locations (Nigeria inclusive), had the tech giants announcing the phone and a slew of other accessories. Here are some of the important announcements that were made.

The Samsung Dex is an accessory that was announced by Samsung during the unpacked event on Wednesday. It is a small device that will allow you turn your Samsung S8 and S8 plus phones (and maybe future releases) operation into a desktop experience given that you have a monitor and a keyboard. What the Dex does for you, quite simply, is to turn your S8 and S8 plus phones into the CPU a la the conventional computers. As demonstrated yesterday, all you need do is to plug in the Dex device and plug your S8 onto the space provided on the Dex and you are good to go. Samsung also announced that they have entered a partnership with Citrix and Amazon workplaces to give you tools that will make the Dex experience function smoothly.

Abudu2000:
Whatsapp really proved their inferiority complex by introducing status....they could have came up with a better idea other than be a copycat....

snapchat has really taken over and one main reason i love snapchat is that history eraser, people sometimes don't understand that memories can haunt us and it would put you backwards.....if u wanna save a conversation simply screenshot it and move on.....

If snapchat could turn down apple offer to buy them out, then be rest assured they have their moves planned out already.....

If you are bored and get on snapchat and still remain bored with all those hilarious filterz , then ur problem might need apostle johnson suleman ooo

Google on Tuesday announced a new feature on their Android version of the Gmail app. In the feature users now have the ability to request and send money via Gmail. Although this feature has been available on the web version of Gmail for a while, it has only just come to the android app.
Sending money with this feature is quite very easy to do. All you have to do is tap on the normal attachment button and an option would pop up from where you can select the Gmail send money option. The money would be sent to the recipient from your Google wallet.

How To Acess the Gmail Send Money Feature.

You can access the Gmail send money function in two ways depending on if you are using the web version or mobile version. On the wb version there is a dollar sign icon close to the "compose" button and when you click on the dollar sign, you can access the Gmail send money feature. On the Android app, you can access the Gmail send money feature by clicking the attachment button which hitherto only allows you attach files to your messages.

WhatsApp recently introduced a new status message that works like Snapchat. This led to a lot of criticisms from users who seem to prefer the old text-based status message that does not disappear after 24 hours.
Well, it seems that WhatsApp is set to bring back the old text-based status as their newest beta testing shows.

There was a time when mobile phones were simply mobile phones; devices that you could carry along with you anywhere to receive and make calls or send text messages. However, our present realities are a far cry from that. We now have smart phones that can do almost anything that a full-fledged computer can do and in some cases, even more. And with this developments and strides come the negative aspects one of which is phone bugging or phone tapping depending on which term you are more acquainted with.

What is Phone Bugging/Tapping?
Phone tapping is a practice whereby a third party employs covert means to monitor your phone and internet connections. In layman's terms, it is when somebody uses dubious means to listen to your calls, read your text messages/internet conversations and access your information from applications.

Nicely built metalic body, looks like an HTC device, i see a 2.5D glass in front, (nice ) Laser AutoFocus is present, as well. The camera hump is a bummer but i guess its because of the Optical Image Stabilitization..... Anyways, great looking device... Infinix outdid themselves on this one
