I've been following the S8 avidly,and I'm vetting close to writing my own specs list and comparing it when its finally released.Samsung Galaxy S7 is still very much Samsung's best device so far and Galaxy S8 may not be launched until next year. This simple fact has not been able to stop the first wave of rumors about the upcoming device hitting the internet. Samsung Galaxy S8 has been rumored to feature a 4k display which some might see as an overkill(to me,it is) And just like the iPhone 7 Plus, this device will likely feature a dual-camera setup. This will definitely boost the phone's camera pics as you'd be able to get that bokeh effect in your pics,without having to use a third party app. Here's a picture of the phone(note:its only a concept) Okay,so a 4k display sounds like an overkill right? Well,in this new tech age,it's not. Here's why:need for 4k display Samsung Gear VR shows how serious Samsung takes virtual reality. Samsung Galaxy S7 has ...

Qualcomm is Apples number 1 contender in the phone chipset department. Why? They release cutting edge technology ,making phones faster,while reducing the heat generated from running the phones for too long.Now,Qualcomm is set to announce its latest chipset in just a few days at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) kicking off on January 5th, but some slides from the presentation have already made their way to the Internet through a leak. A chipset built for Qualcomm by Samsung using the 10nm process, Snapdragon 835 looks like a lot of improvement over its predecessor, promising 27% improved performance over the Snapdragon 820 chip. According to the leak, this new chipset will use less power. It is actually said to use just half the power consumed by Snapdragon 801, giving devices a much improved battery life.Apparently,and hopefully too,this will help Android devices trump Apple's and finally make their way to that savoury number one spot in the AnTuTu benchmark list of fast phon...

Nokia is making a big comeback,and I've been following it here at tycoontech. If you haven't been following me,do that now. Nokia will be back but no one knows exactly when. We’ve seen alleged images of Nokia C1 but we’re yet to know if it’s real or not. The images were leaked last year showing the device running Android OS and Windows but there are new images claimed to be of Nokia’s upcoming Android phone, Nokia C9 . The alleaged Nokia C9 is rumored to have a 5-inch screen according to leaked information from a Weibo user as reported by Times News . It is expected to have a metal frame. Rumor has it that it’s powered by the new Snapdragon 820 processor and there’s a 2GB RAM. Nokia C9 might come with a 4,000mAh battery. The rear camera is said to have a 21MP sensor and an 8MP camera sits at the front. There should be three storage options:32GB, 64GB and 128GB. At this point, nothing is certain until Nokia actually confirms this device. The company already announced its c...

Remember what I said about Blackberry being dead? Well,take that thought,put it in a plastic bag,zip and staple the bag,and throw it into oblivion. This new BB device looks awesome and will definitely beat the crap out of whatever Tecno is trying to release . This phone somehow manages to fit a premium looking build and the all Blackberry trademarked QWERTY keyboard(fun fact: did you know that Qwert Yuiop is the inventor of the keyboard? Don't believe me? Grab your laptop,flip it open and check whose name is on the first row of letters.) into this awesome body. And best of all,it runs android. Take a peek: I like the fact that it has 2 front cameras. Not only Nokia was planning a big comeback. Blackberry KEYone features Blackberry’s traditional physical keyboard below the screen and runs Android OS, not Blackberry’s dead and forgotten software. The device is powered by a Snapdragon 625 chipset, a 2.0GHz octa-core processor with Adreno 506 GPU. The 4.5-inch screen has a reso...
