It is no secret that the popularity of Android powered tablet devices has been decreasing in the last several years, and while mobile users do get the occasional high end offering like Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S3, most of the more recent releases in the market have been of the budget friendly kind.
Much has already been said about how Samsung is poised to rule this year’s Mobile World Congress event (currently being held in the beautiful city of Barcelona in Spain), and the world’s biggest seller of smartphone devices did not disappoint. Without further ado, here are the South Korean tech giant’s latest flagship device offerings, and every other new announcements …
Whenever a person dials 911 from a mobile device, that user’s wireless service provider usually transmits the location of the caller to the call taker. But there are times when the location information that is being sent is far from being accurate, and in an emergency, having the correct location can spell the difference between life and death for the person needing the 911 assistance.
Google has recently announced that its Project Fi wireless service is now providing data coverage in no less than 170 countries across the planet. That new number is 35 more than the previous 135, with new nations such as Belize, Monaco, Nigeria, Tunisia, and Myanmar now enjoying international data.
Just a little more than 17 months after it was officially rolled out (back in the summer of 2016), Android Nougat has now become the most popular version of Google’s Android mobile operating system, surpassing Android Marshmallow in the process. This is somewhat already expected, given the fact that just a month ago, Android Nougat had overtaken Android Lollipop to become the second most popular version of Android.
As indicated in a blog post published earlier this week, Google is looking to further expand YouTube Go, the data light version of its YouTube service, to over 130 mobile markets across the globe.

According to a report recently published by TechCrunch last weekend, Google will soon roll out a new update for its Google Maps service, introducing a new interactive real time notification system for commuters and passengers.
Google has recently revealed that it is planning to introduce a new functionality that will have Google Search (and soon, Google Maps) display estimated wait times for restaurants in a specific area. This neat new feature is actually a sort of extension of an already existing tool that offers information about a business establishment’s peak hours.
In this day and age, smartphone owners can be sorted into two basic groups: Android users and iOS users. Sure, there are some people out there who still choose to use a Microsoft powered mobile device, but they are very, very few. Now when it comes to smart speakers, it turns out that the choice of OS is as equally shared, too, at least according to a survey recently conducted by securities intelligence firm Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP).
Google did not disappoint in its unveiling event, not only debuting two new Pixel smartphone devices, but also lots of other cool and interesting stuff. Of course, people will likely be talking about the new Pixel 2 phones in the days and weeks to come, and they should be, but for those who want to get an overall picture of the new toys that Google just announced, here’s a quick guide.
