IGTV – The new long-form video hub?

Almost everyone uses Instagram these days. Whether it is uploading photos of your cat, or filming a gig, it’s a huge presence in the social media market. Instagram seem to be looking to expand even more to take a piece of Youtube’s monopoly, by allowing longer videos to be uploaded to the platform.

 

 

Rumoured to be named IGTV (and sounding like a kid’s TV channel), Instagram will contain a place that you can upload videos up to “an hour in length”, although, Instagram themselves seem to recommend only utilising videos for around “10 minutes”. Meaning no more spamming your stories or timelines with hundreds of short videos when filming a lengthy piece.

 

It will launch with videos from prominent content creators and companies, which will utilise all the new features to show it off to the public. It will be based in the “explore” tab of the normal Instagram app, meaning no need to download yet another new application.

Samsung Galaxy Book – The best 2in1?

In line with our new stock of Galaxy Books, we take a look at the Samsung Galaxy Book 10.6, seeing why this fantastic 2 in 1 hybrid gadget is an essential addition to replace your tired old Laptop or Tablet.

 

Looks

Right off the bat, the first thing to say about the Samsung Galaxy Book 10.6 is that it is a beautiful device. The sleek silver and grey colours give it a very premium look. The device also has an S pen and Keyboard cover, making it ideal for professionals that like to get the most out of their device. These are included with the Samsung Galaxy Book 10.6 as standard, which is a very nice touch.

The OnePlus 6 – The flagship killer?

With the rumoured release date of early 2018, the OnePlus 6 is on the horizon. We take a look at some of the features rumoured to be included. With specs rumoured to beat even the Samsung S9, the Oneplus 6 looks like a very exciting device indeed.

The above screenshots are ‘leaked’ by AnTuTu via Android Central and show the OnePlus 6 to have an iPhone X style ‘Notch’ in the screen, as well as a fingerprint scanner located below a dual camera, similar to that seen on the S9+. Admittedly the screenshots are leaks so aren’t 100% confirmed, but it does look like a very sleek and modern device.

The Samsung S9 and S9+ - Now Available

Now we have confirmation that the S9 and S9+ are available for pre-order, for release on the 16th of March. So, should you get one on release?

 

Second Hand Phones - Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 plus available, used or refurbished.

 

The Samsung S9 and S9+ at first glance, don’t look too dissimilar to the previous iteration of Samsung’s S range, the S8 and S8+. It’s when you take a closer look at some aspects of the phone, you notice the real differences.

 

The fingerprint scanner has been relocated, after a lot of complaints about the location on the S8 and S8+. It is now located slightly below the camera, meaning less stretching to find it, and no more accidentally smudging your camera lens trying to unlock your phone. This is a welcome change, but it’s the Camera itself where the S9 and S9+ show their real improvements.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ – What can we expect?

 

With the announcement just around the corner on February 26th, the world is preparing for the next Samsung Galaxy phone to be unveiled, the S9 and S9+.

 

Aesthetically, it looks remarkably similar to the S8 and S8+. The LCD is rumoured to be 5.8 inches on the S9, and 6.2 inches on the S9+. It will still include the now famous ‘Infinity Display’, which still does look remarkable. The bezels will have also been slightly reduced, lending to more viable screen space. Also, the S8’s controversial fingerprint scanner location seems like it will be moved to beneath the camera, as seen on LG & Huawei phones (among others) meaning less stretching to unlock your phone.
