There is an upgraded variant of the Samsung Galaxy S8+, which boasts 6GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage. When the device became official earlier this month, it was confirmed that it would be available in South Korea. Unfortunately, at the time, it wasn’t confirmed if the handset would ever make it out into the rest of the world. Well, we finally have an answer — but it’s maybe not as great as it could be....

Many moons ago, there was a war between instant message clients. Americans used AIM, Europe and Asia used MSN, and some laggards swore an allegiance to ICQ. That same war is being replayed today, but with OTT messaging apps. What’s OTT? It stands for over-the-top, which in this case means on top of an operator’s network. Someone like Verizon built a really expensive network with hopes of charging you a nickel per text message, but nope, WhatsApp, LINE, Viber, and many others came out and made messaging free....

One device that, however, seems to have slipped everyone’s attention, is the 5.2-inch edition of the Asus ZenFone 3. Yes, there will be those who will say that the device is an old one, launched as it was in mid-2016 (we are already speculating about the Asus ZenFone 5 and what it might possess even as this is being written), but just throw your mind back to why it was not a runaway success....

The flaw of Facebook Messenger. The audio files sent through Messenger may be subject to an MITM attack, or man in the middle. This might make it accessible to other people voice conversations sent, on private or group chat on Facebook’s instant messaging service.

en you launch the Twitter app you’ll see a “while you were away” label at the top of the screen, which takes you to an algorithmically curated recap of tweets that you didn’t see when you were off doing other things.

Two videos were uploaded to HTC’s YouTube channel over the weekend. They’re ads for the company’s Sense 5 skin, specifically the feature known as “BlinkFeed”.

What prompted you to write the book? I moved to India in early 2014 as the CNN bureau chief reporting in Delhi.
