Here is a pictorial review and first  impressions of the 3GB/32GB variety.

The device

On the left side, there is a power button

Right side spots the volume rocker, SIM and dedicated memory card trays

There are two nano SIM slots and an individual memory card slot on the J7 Pro

13 MP camera secondary camera and flash are on the top back corner

The J7 Pro also spots another 13 MP shooter in front for selfies. This one is beside a flash and speaker grill.

Even though the two cameras are both the same megapixel, they are different.  The selfie camera has an aperture of f/1.9 and the back camera has f/1.7.

This means the back camera lens allows more lighting and therefore will expectedly shoot better images.

Under the phone, there's a USB port and microphone for calls

Price

From offline stores to e-commerce platforms there's a whole range of prices for the Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro.

But it is currently available on Jumia from ₦93,000 to ₦110,000.

First Impressions

The Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro is an eye candy that is lightweight and sleek.

Even though bezels take up a lot of its 5.5-inch screen, there's still sufficient  screen space to use.

Because of size, the home button in front that also doubles as a fingerprint scanner is easily accessible.

Though the price point may be an issue, but looking at the specs, this is no budget phone.

At first encounter, the J7 Pro looks like the compact smartphone to have.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow. We believe email can do more, which is why we're launching Gmail Add-ons, a new way to work with your favorite business apps directly in Gmail. Gmail Add-ons, built for your workflows Rather than toggling between your inbox and other apps, use add-ons to complete actions right from Gmail.

You too, Brutus? OnePlus 6 leaked images show iPhone X-inspired design

This week during MWC 2018, ASUS unveiled not one but two iPhone X clones which are expected to hit the market with affordable price-tags. ASUS' flagship, the ZenFone 5Z includes a powerful Snapdragon 845 and will start at only $499. Which means OnePlus is in for some direct competition. Obviously, we expect the Chinese company to retaliate …with its own iPhone X-inspired offering. Indeed, according to a pair of leaked images from the Chinese blogosphere, OnePlus is hard at work trying to replicate the Notch. OnePlus 6 could turn out to be iPhone X look alike Note that the device shown in the pictures (allegedly the OnePlus 6) is only a prototype, so the final product could end up looking a lot differently. Like it's the case with these leaks, the blogger who posted these images has subsequently deleted them. Yet the folks at ITHome spotted them before they were taken down. Looking at the images, we notice the phone appears to have a glass back, indicative o
