Samsung Galaxy Note 6 may have 8GB of RAM
Written by Joey Peters
Check out this blog post in video form on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ALitmw-hgG4
The Samsung Galaxy Note series is known for being very powerful and one of the most powerful phones on the market. Apparently that is not good enough because they want to raise the RAM storage from 4GB to 8GB.
Most modern computers now have a base of 8GB of RAM inside to keep the computer running smoothly. Phones on the other hand don’t need that much RAM. The base RAM storage for a smartphone is at about 2GB. Samsung is thinking that they need 8GB of RAM which is just so freaking fascinating seeing that smartphones are going to be just as powerful as our home computer. That could either mean a good thing or a bad thing to you. If you are on the go and need to get work done, instead of pulling out the computer you can just pull out your smartphone from your pocket and do the same exact thing. It is bad if you are selling computers because then sales will probably go down because of this trend. Why buy a computer when your phone is way more portable and can be just as powerful.
This whole thing about the 8GB of RAM is all thanks to the new Snapdragon 823 which will be super fast, faster than a Chromebook. It will be a Quad Core processor running at about 2.6 GHz. My Mac runs at 2.7 GHz so it is really close to having the same amount of power as my Mac.
Just because the Snapdragon can hold 8GB of RAM, Samsung will probably only put 6GB in which is better and doesn’t sound like total overkill. I mean even we thought the 4GB this year was total overkill on a smartphone. Just imagine 8GB.

Android N Developer Preview 2 is out
Written by Lance Nickel
On Wednesday, Google pushed Developer Preview 2 for Android N, the latest Android release, expected to be announced at I/O 2016, to their developer platform.
There are a few new things that are worthwhile to talk about, amongst the inevitable bug fixes and security updates.
One of those is called Vulkan. It is a new 3D rendering API, which is aimed at providing low overhead GPU control to developers. It allows for nicer graphics, especially in games, and with the style of Material Design, will probably bring faster speeds of which you didn’t think was possible. This is kind of like Metal from Apple.
Another feature is some new launcher shortcuts. Apps can define shortcuts which the user can make available in the launcher to perform some quick launching actions quicker. These shortcuts come in the form of jump lists to thing such as recently sent messages to people, or to go to a specific section of an app, like your home feed on Instagram.
Unicode Emoji 9 support also comes to this update, with a few new emojis, and a new design for people emojis. These emojis were redesigned by Google to “look more human”. They also seem to have skin tones that were updated as well.
Other than that most of the other things were just things that were expected to come out of a developer preview update.

App removed by the Google Play Store
Written by Carly Heindel
The Taliban app was first found last Friday by a website specifically designed to track jihadists online. The app, used to spread propaganda and recruit fighters, was immediately removed. It let people get up to date with the Taliban news. They would publish videos and stories written in Pashto to get the news updates. Although the app was taken down, they are coming up with new ways to communicate to others.
