After LG, Google and Nokia, it looks like Samsung is also jumping on the SmartWare bandwagon! News reported that the company is working on the Samsung Gear S4 smartwatch and it might run on Android Wear OS. Read on to know more!

Samsung Gear S4 to possibly come with Android Wear OS

Perhaps the most important leak we’ve gathered so far is a source within Samsung who claims the company is preparing the Gear S4 right now. However, a new trademark application suggests Samsung may intend to release its next smartwatch under the new name Samsung Galaxy Watch, so the Gear name may be dead after all. Also, rumors for the Samsung Gear S4 are now starting to pile up ever since we heard the word the watch is in development. One of them is the smartwatch is going to run on Android Wear operating system.

The other source has said Samsung wants to offer the upcoming watch in two different sizes. If one of these rumors turn out to be true, this would be something of a precedent in Samsung’s history with wearables – which have traditionally been based on Tizen OS. Going by logic, and given the huge popularity that Samsung’s smart-wear have been enjoying over the years; it seems unlikely that the company will turn its back on Tizen and adopt Android Wear OS entirely. However, according to Ice Universe, he claims that Samsung and Google are working on a new “Android Wear flagship watch”.

And it is supposedly slated for release in the second half of 2018. He goes on to confirm that the Samsung Gear S4 will, indeed, adopt the ‘Galaxy Watch’ moniker, as suggested by previous reports. You can read more about its specs and design HERE.

Samsung Gear S4 release date and price

When the next Gear smartwatch launches, it will probably cost a lot. Previously, the Gear S3 started at $349 and we’ll likely see a similar price for the new model Samsung Gear S4. Especially as it will be the rival of the Apple Watch 3.

We have two good news in one article for you guys today! Both of the Nokia 8 Sirocco and Nokia 2 are going to get security updates in this month. Keep reading for more details!

Nokia 8 Sirocco and Nokia 2 are getting new security updates

A couple of Nokia smartphones have started getting new security updates in May. Among them are the Nokia 8 Sirocco and Nokia 2, and the updates they are getting include Android security fixes for this month. The Nokia 8 Sirocco update – which is currently hitting in the Indian market – weighs in at 82.5MB. Whereas the size of the Nokia 2 update – which is rolling out in both India and the US – is 88MB.

So far, the change-log only says May patch, so it’s reasonable to assume no major change is included. A little heads up, over-the-air (OTA) roll out happen in phases, so be patient if your device hasn’t received the update yet. Previously, we have reported about a mysterious poster on Chinese media, which hints at the arrival of one new Nokia phone. In details, the sign revealed that the upcoming handset is going to have the name Nokia X 2018.

Furthermore, HMD Global is now completing the required certifications to launch the phone. Today, more information regarding this Nokia phone has arrived. The Nokia X 2018 is going to come with a 10W. For now, these two handsets carry the model number of TA-1099 and TA-1109. The listing doesn’t reveal much beyond TD-LTE (showing these are China Mobile handsets) and their charger. Notably, this is a 5V/2A charger. This information explains that they might be ordinary Nokia smartphones. Furthermore, we can believe that they can be the successor of the original X phone from 2014.

Nokia monthly security updates

HMD has been quite consistent in terms of releasing monthly security and operating system updates for Nokia smartphones. The company has also made it clear that all Nokia handsets run on Android will receive minimum two years of OS update support.

Apple seems to care more about their customers than we think. Recently, the company has reduced the price of its USB-C to lightning cable. Keep reading for more details!

Apple makes USB-C to Lightning cable cheaper

It looks like Apple has made its USB-C to Lightning cable become cheaper than before. It’s quite rare for the company to reduce the prices of its accessories. What’s even weirder is that this move was announced just after we heard rumors saying Apple has decided to finally get rid of the use of USB-A in its iPhone and iPad charging adapters this year. To be specific, the 1m USB-C to Lightning cable allows faster charging than the one includes in the box if you have a compatible Apple device.

The initial price was a whopping $25 but now only costs $19. This isn’t the first time that we’ve seen the USB-C to Lightning Cable sell for that much. Back during the so-called #donglegate period, Apple reduced the prices of all USB-C accessories, including the USB-C to Lightning Cable. Interestingly, it goes the same for the USB-A to Lightning cable (the one you get in the box of your iPhone or iPad). However, the 2m version of USB-C to Lightning cable hasn’t received a price drop yet.

It continues to go for $35. With this planned move, rumors also suggest that the company will introduce a new 18W USB-C Power Adapter with a new design soon. Not only would such a tool be more in line with the iPhone’s charging capabilities, it would also likely be smaller than the current 29W adapter. Besides, it would be able to fit in areas where a larger adapter may not.

Will Apple introduce a new USB-C Adapter soon?

A new 18W Power Adapter might also replace the 12W adapter currently included with all iPads, providing a single default power adapter for all new iOS devices. In the meantime, stay tuned with us for more updates regarding this new USB-C Adapter.
