For all those who have Verizon Pixel and Pixel XL, get ready to receive the new Oreo over the air. Verizon took a bold step when announced that they will begin updating their phones with Android 8.0 Oreo now. The update is version OPR6.170623.012. Verizon's Pixel and Pixel XL are the phones that will be getting the Oreo, and they may be receiving the updates in stages. That means that it might take a few days before the update comes to your own Verizon device. You can always manually check for the update by going into Settings > System > System updates > Check for update. When Google last week announced that they will start rolling out the Android 8.0 Oreo update to other phones, some people may have been expecting a long wait after Google’s own phones have receive theirs. But with Verizon now pushing the update to its Pixel phones, we can be sure that other devices would also very soon get theirs. If you have Verizon Pixel or Pixel XL device, tell us your exp

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has the best screen display ever according to research firm DisplayMate.

Samsung Galaxy S8  The Samsung Galaxy S8 officially became the most best selling Android smartphone in the world. This was revealed by research firm, Strategy Analytics. The firm published a report that shows that the South Korean tech giant has shipped more than 10.2 million of its Galaxy S8 devices and took 3 percent of the global market share in the second quarter of 2017. Its Galaxy S8 Plus has over 9.0 million shipments and took 2 percent market share globally. The figures proves the massive popularity of the Samsung devices, and confirmed Samsung position as number one phone makers in the Android Market. The closest Android-powered smartphone to the Galaxy S8 series is the Xiaomi Redmi 4A which is growing in popularity in Asia, especially China where it originates. Despite this figures though, the Galaxy S8 is not the most best-selling selling phone, but only the best-selling "Android" smartphone. The one who presently owns that throne is Apple's iPhone 7.

There was an occasion when I was told to send a screenshot through my phone. But since it was my first time having a phone, I didn't know how to go about it.

So I decided to Google it online. I was surprised to find out how easy it was to do it. But what surprised me most was discovering that a high number of people don't know how to take screenshots, even some with their advanced phones were still asking for guidance.
