Biometrics have become a part of our daily lives in many ways than one and to have them on our smartphones wouldn't be such a bad idea. Apple as its their custom to set trends when it comes to revolutionary smartphone features and hardware have begun to chart this course, other manufactures such as Samsung have flirted with the idea with rumours that we might be getting a fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy Note III set to be announced later in Q4 of this year but they have since rescinded that decision for logistics reasons. Apple can barely hide developments they are working on these days, different information about the upcoming iPhone 5S and 5C have leaked all over the internet, this is a new trend from Apple and i'm beginning to believe it might be a marketing stunt of some sort to get people excited about the phones, if that is their plan though i congratulate them because its working, i have been intrigued by the changes Apple recently brought to iOS 7 , the new featu

In recent times, research has shown that Android has overtaken Apple in terms of smartphone marketshare, I believe this is as a result of  various Android OEM's offering different varieties of phones from high-end aluminium cladded, expensive phones to plasticky,   Budget friendly Smartphones , this has positioned Android as the phone for every Tom, Dick and Harry who wants to enjoy a smartphone experience without having to pay dearly for it. In light of this development, Apple has refused to "Carry Last" and they now plan to release a cheaper version of their Flagship phone the iPhone 5 in plastic. This is not the first time we have seen leaks about this device , we first thought they were prototypes of Apple's iphone 5S as its apple's tradition to release a follow up to the iPhone in the fourth quarter of the year but we were later convinced that they were a cheaper version of the iPhone. Apple has been notorious about keeping projects like this under w

The Motorola X phone, dubbed "Moto X" has had its fair share of leaks, not too long ago one of its most proprietary feature "The always On Mic" a feature that allows the user have access to voice controls at anytime was leaked to the media, other specifications such as its ease of customization was also leaked but this is the first time we would see the phone in its true glory. Motorola has already announced that the device would be released to the public on the 1st of August and this renders are allegedly claimed to be the official press renders , they give us our first full glimpse of the phone, At first glance, we can see motorola has kept it simple with the phone, it has really thin bezels to maximize space and to reduce the entire surface area of the phone, we can also see the phone appears to have a 5.0" display. The Renders depict the phone in two colors, white and Black but motorola has over emphasised how easy it would be to customize the phone,

its a usual phenomenon that when smartphones are close to being released, we are usually covered in an avalanche of leaks as sources from every nook and cranny of the world give details about how the phone would look like and what specs it would have. We have been expecting Apple to release a follow up to the iphone 5 but it has been delayed probably as a result of the iOS 7 upgrade or their ongoing suits and countersuits with Samsung their once cordial OEM partner that made their previous display technology and the A5X ARM based SoC chip used in the iPad 3 Today we got more information from our sources on the reasons for the delay and few new shots of the actual phone. Apparently the device is being delayed because of  issues Apple's Manufacturers are experiencing with the LCD display (P.S: they should have stayed with Samsung :P) and the circuitry that is supposed to handle the fingerprint scanner feature supposedly to come with the phone.  Sources have it that t

Motorola has been through a lot of ups and downs before Google swooped down and acquired their Mobile division.Since then they have had some sort of Epiphany when it comes to innovation, from tattoo chips to digestible computing they have continued to impress us here at TECHNERDNG. The latest innovation from Motorola is the "always on mic". This is a feature that Motorola has added to their much talked about Moto X phone.  This feature allows users of the phone to always have access to voice commands even when the phone screen is off. The device listens to phrases and when it recognizes a command phrase such as the default " ok moto magic " or a custom phrase of the user's choice it unlocks the device and transfers whatever command, task or search terms to Google Now. The feature can be used to perform varoous task such as voice calls and opening webpages. At this point we can not estimate the effects of this feature on the battery life of the pho
