LG officially unveils the G6, and it's everything we thought it would be

PCWorld

If you didn't know that LG was releasing its G6 flagship smartphone at Mobile World Congress, you must have not had Internet service for most of 2017. LG itself has been releasing bits of information about its newest smartphone for weeks, and a steady stream of leaks and spy shots have conspired to elucidate pretty much every aspect of the phone thus far. Well, now the G6 is finally here, and with an extra-tall display and Google Assistant built into the OS, it's every bit the flagship it was promised to be. Even without any surprises--and even with a soon-to-be-outdated processor--the G6 is a beast that puts LG back on the Android map. Why this matters: LG needs a hit.


Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 Plus Specs Reportedly Leaked, Bixby Not Mentioned

International Business Times

The Samsung Galaxy S8, one of the most anticipated devices of 2017, created a buzz that's getting louder as we inch closer to its expected launch in April. The most recent leaks regarding the device are a screenshot of its specs and one of its sign-up pages. On Thursday, TechnoBuffalo claimed it had a leaked screenshot listing specs of both the devices, while on Friday blogger Evan Blass posted a screenshot of a sign-up program for "the Next Galaxy." Blass' tweet showed a device having top and bottom bezels, but none on the side, which concurs with earlier reports of the device having an edge-to-edge display. Apart from this, the tweet did not reveal much. According to the screenshots by TechnoBuffalo, both devices are expected to come with Quad HD displays.

Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Mobile Apps

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) reminds us of many Hollywood movies, like The Terminator, The Matrix etc, in which machines surpass ability and smartness of human beings to perform incredible acts. With significant advancement in technology, it is now actually possible to empower a machine with AI by using a few programming techniques and database management system. But AI is no restricted to machines robotics only, and is now seen as the next frontier of mobile devices too. Cortana, Siri and Google Now have already shown us how AI can make a difference in digital world to make human lives better. They behave as personal assistants to advise and suggest a user, like reminding birthdays of loved ones, an important meeting, a major event and many more.

Look at the top corner of your phone screen. Right now, it probably reads 4G LTE, and you're probably fine with that.

Samsung Galaxy S8 specs leak confirms monstrous 6.2-inch screen and eye-scanning tech

The Independent - Tech

The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 is still weeks away, but many of the handsets' details have already been revealed in a series of leaks. Samsung will almost certainly not unveil its new pair of flagships at Mobile World Congress this weekend, and is instead rumoured to be planning a New York event towards the end of March, ahead of an April release. The latest Samsung leak comes from Twitter user @evleaks, who has got his hands on a legitimate-looking specs list for the larger of the two upcoming smartphones. Assuming it is the real deal, the list confirms that the Galaxy S8 will feature an enormous 6.2-inch screen, with a Quad HD resolution. For comparison, the ill-fated Note 7 โ€“ Samsung's flagship large-screened handset before it was recalled and discontinued โ€“ used a 5.7-inch display, and last year's S7 and S7 Edge used a 5.1-inch screen and 5.5-inch screen, respectively.

Taxis in Japan Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Predict Ride Requests

#artificialintelligence

On a Friday evening, it's fairly easy to guess the downtown hot spots where taxis likely are needed. But most of the time, cab drivers have little more than intuition to go on to find their next fare. That could change for cab drivers in Japan when NTT Docomo commercializes its artificial intelligence technology, which predicts where ride requests will be. Using ridership data from 4,425 cabs, along with other factors such as weather and mobile phone data and locations, NTT Docomo trained its AI system to predict where localized ride demand will be in 30 minutes within a 500-square-meter area. Drivers participating in its trials used tablets that provided updated ridership data every 10 minutes, which gave drivers enough time to reposition their vehicle based on anticipated requests.
