Sunrise Gold Galaxy S9 goes on sale in India and the UAE

-

This year marked the first time Samsung decided to make gold a part of the post-launch color options it releases for its flagships every year instead of offering it at launch. The Sunrise Gold Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ were announced last month, and Samsung had said it would be releasing in a slew of markets around the world. India and the UAE are two markets where Samsung often prioritizes launching its flagships in a golden hue, so it's no surprise that the Sunrise Gold Galaxy S9 has gone up for sale in these countries before others.

Galaxy S9 Sunrise Gold now available for purchase

In India, Samsung has only launched the Galaxy S9+ in Sunrise Gold. It is also available only with 128GB of storage. It is priced at ₹68,900 (around $1,010) and can be ordered from Samsung's website today or from Flipkart starting tomorrow, June 21. There's a ₹9,000 cashback for those who pay using their ICICI bank account or via Paytm Mall and a one-time screen replacement at ₹1,999 for purchases made before June 30. Flipkart is offering additional discounts on Visa and Axis credit and debit cards but not on ICICI cards, so it will be up to the consumer to decide where they shop based on the offers they like.

In the UAE, both the Galaxy S9 and S9+ are available in Sunrise Gold and have also been released in Coral Blue. Consumers can pick up either of these colors in all three storage variants (64GB, 128GB, and 256GB). Prices start at AED 3,099 (around $845) and AED 3,499 (around $950) for the S9 and S9+ respectively. The total color options in the UAE now total five; Titanium Gray, which has been rather elusive, is included as well.

Galaxy S9 specs unaffected by new color options

The new color variants carry the same hardware as existing color models. The Galaxy S9 specs include a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED Infinity display, Samsung's Exynos 9810 SoC, 4GB of RAM, a 12-megapixel rear camera with Dual Aperture and Super Slow-mo video recording, an 8-megapixel front camera, a microSD slot, iris recognition, a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, and a 3,000 mAh battery. The Galaxy S9+ gets a 6.2-inch display, 6GB of RAM, a 3,500 mAh battery, and a secondary camera sensor at the back for Live Focus bokeh photos and 2x zoom, while other specs remain the same as the regular S9. Both devices run Android Oreo and will be the first to get the Android 9.0 P update.

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

Do more from your inbox with Gmail Add-ons

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.

17 features and tricks to help you get started with Spotify

-
Image
Spotify is one of the world's most popular music streaming services, with 157 million active users ( as of December 2017 ) and over 35 million songs. Originally born in Sweden, it quickly gained popularity as it expanded outside of its home country. Frankly, it's hard to believe that Spotify hit U.S. shores almost seven years ago. For many who were accustomed to mainstays at the time like Pandora and iHeartRadio, Spotify represented something different. And to some of us, its disparity to those other services was off-putting. I was one of those people who was initially excited about it, then quickly became frustrated with it when I tried to use it like Pandora, which was my go-to back then. Fast forward to the very recent past and I decided to give Spotify another try — at the behest of Artem, no less. When I sat down to figure out how to best utilize it, I wanted to learn how to not only get going, but how to use Spotify to the best of its abilities in both the free

Google’s December 2018 security patch includes much-needed RAM management fix

-
Image
Every first Monday of the month, we're used to seeing Google launch security patches for its supported devices. This month is no different, as Google has released the December 2018 security patch. The patch not only fixes a bunch of security bugs, but also features the long awaited memory performance fixes. Android Pie has long been killing apps in the background (even if you were using them a second ago) and it's even affected devices other than Pixel /Nexus devices and we hope this fix will help. There are also some camera fixes for Pixel users included as well. Surprisingly, we're seeing the updates hit the Nexus 5X and 6P, both of which have reached their end of life. It's good to see Google support these old devices even when their three years are up and the company has no obligation to update them. December's software release is here. Check your Essential Phone for the update. pic.twitter.com/tTaeQZ0kzl — Essential (@essential) December 3, 2018
