Samsung Bixby, the digital assistant said to be arriving with the Galaxy S8 flagship phone, will be based on S Voice, reports The Wall Street Journal.
The Bixby software was previously speculated to be built by Viv Labs, an AI specialist Samsung purchased last year. Samsung mobile division chief technology officer Injong Rhee revealed in November that the S8’s AI would house functionality delivered by Viv Labs and that this would “significantly” differentiate it from competitors.

The Nexus 7 got a slightly weaker version of the Tegra 3 SoC, clocked at 1.2 GHz, compared to say the one in the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity, which reaches 1.6 GHz, or the one in the HTC One X, which reaches 1.5 GHz. But that didn’t stop kernel modders from cranking up the CPU of the Nexus 7 up to 1.64 GHz. So now, your Nexus 7 can become the fastest Tegra 3 device on the market, and all you have to do is apply a simple patch.
TL;DR
Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) hands-on images and press renders leak showing triple rear camera. The phone also appears to feature a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. An official launch is expected on October 11. Samsung recently promised that it would start bringing new technology and innovation to its mid-range phones before its flagships. It certainly looks like the South Korean giant will be staying true to its word if today’s Galaxy A7 (2018) leaks are anything to go by.
While Spotify has allowed mobile users to accessmusic free for a while now, doing so means you have to put up with the same audio ads as free users on the desktop. The good news is that Spotify is finally giving us an alternative to constant audio ads after every few tracks by rolling out a new video ad option.
Simply put, Spotify Free users will soon be able to opt in to watch a brand-sponsored 15-to-30-second video advertisement and will subsequently be rewarded with 30 minutes of uninterrupted music.

How much are you paying for your Unlimited plan?
Even if your plan was a killer deal at the time, the competition between carriers has only been growing fiercer. This month, Verizon and Sprint are both pulling out all the stops to attract new customers with an impressive lineup of Unlimited plans, but you’ll have to act before January 31.
Keep your monthly bill in mind as you browse these offerings:
Sure, Huawei managed to eke out an additional inch from the phablet platform with its introduction of the Ascend Mate at CES this January. But even as Huawei is only starting to release its six-incher this month (currently on pre-order at some online retailers), you’d be glad to know that other manufacturers have been adventurous enough to try their luck at a 6.1-inch device, too. And they don’t necessarily have to a major brand like Sony.
Google’s Fi wireless service has been around for a while now, and until now, only Project Fi Nexus phones could take advantage of Google’s Wi-Fi Assistant. Wi-Fi Assistant essentially connects your phone to a trusted, stable, and open Wi-Fi network near you. That’s especially handy if you’re in an area where your cell signal or data connection is weak.
Project Fi now supports tablets and other data-only devices

The only inconvenience was that you had to have a Fi SIM card, and it was only compatible with the Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, and Nexus 6.
The Android home screen not only displays application shortcuts and widgets but also represents the user’s tastes and preferences. In the past few years, manufacturers have also tried to impose their own vision of what a home screen should look and feel like. Some users love them, others hate them, and a select number of users just don’t have anything to say about it.
As a user, you may already have decided to inject your personal touch into your Android experience by downloading famous home screen launchers such as GO Launcher Pro, Launcher Pro, or ADX Launcher.
