Android Circuit: Galaxy S8 Release Date Confirmed, Nokia 5 Reviewed, S8 Images Show Mystery Button

Forbes - Tech

Taking a look back at seven days of news and headlines across the world of Android, this week's Android Circuit includes Samsung's efforts to spoil MWC, new images leaked of the Galaxy S8, asking if the new Nokia handsets are worthy of the Nokia name, a hands-on review of the Nokia 5, the LG G6 design, Huawei's new camera technology, the return of the BlackBerry keyboard, and the designer of the Psion PDA returning with an Android dream machine. Android Circuit is here to remind you of a few of the many things that have happened around Android in the last week (and you can find the weekly Apple news digest here). Although it had previously declared that it would not be announced the Galaxy S8 at this week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the South Korean company announced when it would be announcing its new flagship.

It was about taking away some of the momentum that the S8's rivals could gain from Mobile World Congress.


Android Circuit: New Galaxy S8 Leaks, Android Biggest Success In 2016, New Google Pixel Problem

Taking a look back at seven days of news and headlines across the world of Android, this week's Android Circuit includes a new voice for the Galaxy S8, the return of the S-Pen, Pixel power problems, Android's battery win, the shutdown of Cyanogen, WileyFox's quick change to Nougat, a North Korean Android tablet's spyware, and Super Mario Run prepares for its Android arrival. Android Circuit is here to remind you of a few of the many things that have happened around Android in the last week (and you can find the weekly Apple news digest here). The Samsung Galaxy S8 could be picking up a new tool named Bixby, a voice-powered digital assistant along the lines of Siri and Google Assistant. Viv Labs is the company behind the technology, and Samsung recently acquired it, so it makes sense for the South Koreans to stake its claim in this space. But will that upset Google?
