Image
A non-beta Android 8.0 Oreo build for Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus has been leaked The official (but not final) builds add support for Dolby Atmos Both builds are for the Snapdragon variant of Samsung’s flagships We’ve only just received confirmation from Samsung that the Galaxy S8 Oreo beta program  will end on January 15th , but it seems that some lucky users are getting their updates early. An Oreo build for both the  Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus  appeared today on Reddit including all the features you’d expect from  Android 8.0 Oreo , as well as the January Android security patches. It’s worth noting the two build are only compatible with the Snapdragon 835 variant of both of Samsung’s flagships.

Facebook’s Snooze button silences your annoying friends for 30 days

Image
Honesty time: I have some friends on Facebook whose posts sometimes greatly annoy me. I can unfriend them, which would be the easiest way to rid myself of those posts, or I can “snooze” them, a new feature that Facebook is rolling out today. Originally spotted by back in Sept Techcrunch   ember, the social media juggernaut’s “Snooze” button allows users to mute people, Pages, and Groups for 30 days. This is beneficial if you find someone’s posts very annoying, but do not want to unfriend them for whatever reason. As the outlet points out, Snooze also allow Pages and Groups to retain less-active users that would otherwise unlike a page or leave a group. Once the 30 days are up, Facebook notifies you in case you want to put them to sleep again. At that point, though, you might want to consider unfollowing or unfriending that person. As  TechCrunch  accurately points out, however, the Snooze button arrives at a time when Facebook itself took on the question of whethe

Best of Android 2017: Which camera IS the best?

One of the most important areas for every smartphone is how good its camera is, but there are two ways to judge a camera: by whether it is technically good, or whether it looks good. Often, the most accurate smartphone cameras aren’t the ones that produce pictures that look good, so how do you decide which is the best smartphone camera? For Best of Android 2017, we introduced an all-new method of testing smartphone cameras objectively, but we also wanted to see which smartphone camera looks the best. To do so, we split the camera into two parts. Below we’ll go into which is technically the best, based on all of our data.

Microsoft Edge has been downloaded over 1 million times on Android

Microsoft surprised folks back in October when the company released its Edge browser for ANDROID. We say “released,” but the app was in preview up until almost two weeks ago. Even so, Microsoft hit an important milestone as Edge officially surpassed one million downloads on Android. We realize how minuscule that number can be when compared to Microsoft’s other offerings on the platform. For example, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneDrive have all surpassed the 100-million-download threshold. Even Microsoft’s Authenticator app, which provides a two-step authentication process for Microsoft products and services, as well as multi-factor authentication for other services, already passed the one-million-download threshold. Even so, Edge’s one million downloads is an impressive feat. For one, it was available in preview form for almost two months before shedding its beta tag not too long ago. Also, thanks to the number of downloads, Edge is the third most-popular free commu
