Apple announced its new phones, the iPhone XS and XS Max yesterday and with the announcement came the reviews and analysis. One standout thing though that I think wasn’t seriously emphasised was that Apple is now a dual SIM device player; something Samsung and other major players have since implemented in emerging markets and have seen growth over the years. Before we take a look at this, let’s talk about what a dual SIM iPhone XS looks like and how it works. With the most recent 2018 iPhone X lineup, Apple has bet everything with double SIM abilities found on each of the three models presented today-the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max and the iPhone XR. The manner in which Apple has executed this element contrasts for telephones sold in China and telephones sold in whatever is left of the world.

The Note line, which set the trend for large-screen phones and includes a stylus, has traditionally been one of Samsung’s most distinctive and has acted as a testing ground for new features. And despite a disastrous spate of battery fires that prompted the recall of the Note 7, the Note line has proved to be the Samsung product with the most loyal following. In recent event that was largely leaked ahead of time, Samsung unveile...

Google has been rolling out features  for its Google Maps over the past few weeks, but recently android police has spotted something new. If you try to ping someone’s location and their phone is dead, there’s not much an app can do. Most location-sharing apps will just sit there and spin while they wait for some sort of response, leaving you to worry about all the reasons their phone might not be responding with a current location. Did they lose signal? Did someone steal their phone? Now when you let a friend know where you are through the Google Maps app, another icon is included with your location information and battery level details. "You"ll be able to keep a watchful eye on how much battery life they have left. Now, there won"t be as much cause for worry if someone"s location drops off because you"ll be able to know if it could just be because their phone died," the report added. Early in 2017, Google added a feature to Google Maps that lets you opt...

The European Union led by its Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager has concluded an investigation onto what they say is an antitrust case regarding Android mobile devices which they say was designed to strengthen the dominance of Google’s Search Engine. It is because of this that they have fined Google a massive €4.3b or about $5b .

While that may mean privacy protections for smartphone users, it also means plenty of controversy over the use of encryption when it comes to hiding data from the government. Here’s why encryption is making headlines. What is Encryption? Encryption refers to scrambling digital information on phones, laptops, servers, or other electronic devices. On most smartphones, encryption means your photos, texts, emails, and other information are not readable unless you make them so by entering a password or code.
