Today, Facebook announced that it is building a 770-kilometer (500-mile) fiber backhaul network in Uganda, in partnership with India’s Airtel and wholesale provider BCS… Read More from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8176981 https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/27/facebook-digs-into-mobile-infrastructure-in-uganda-as-tip-commits-170m-to-startups/?ncid=rss http://www.gadgetscompared.com http://ikonografico.tumblr.com/post/157781473551 via http://www.gadgetscompared.com

Samsung is set to announce the Galaxy S8 smartphone in late March, but the two videos and a couple images embedded here appear to show working units. The videos show the phone’s refined design.

Phones look the same. Action cameras copy GoPro, headphone companies copy Beats. Most electronic companies are overly cautious about going to far. Vaporware can kill momentum. Yet today Motorola threw its arms in the Spanish air and said fuck it. During its Mobile World Congress press event, the company basically said here are some products we might… Read More from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8176981 https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/26/motorola-does-the-unthinkable-and-unveils-gadget-concepts/?ncid=rss http://www.gadgetscompared.com http://ikonografico.tumblr.com/post/157750157461 via http://www.gadgetscompared.com From ‘Hey Alexa’ to ‘Hello Moto’… Motorola has announced a partnership with ecommerce giant Amazon that will see the latter’s voice assistant tech embedded natively into most of Motorola’s devices in future.

The mobile app created an interesting photo format with two square-ish pictures to share what you have in front of you and a selfie. While you can still download the app, it’s been stagnant for a few years. But LG implemented a Frontback feature into the new G6 called “Match Shot.” The big new feature of LG’s phone is the taller display.

The conference starts at 2 PM CET (1 PM GMT, 8 AM EST). The company has already said that it’ll unveil the P10, its new flagship phone.
