For Samsung smartphone users, the company's One UI is among the top Android skins these days. In the latest One UI 3, there are even cool features like Multi-Active Window. Now, Samsung is gearing up for the release of the next big version - One UI 4.

When it comes to gaming, we know how addicting it can be especially during this pandemic period. We also know how common (and sometimes annoying) is to have your parents nagging you to sleep and Tencent is taking this on another level. In China, the company launched a facial recognition software system that will lock selected mobile games from 10 PM until 8 AM.

This article will look at why brands that make Android smartphones launch more devices than Apple.

Based on a report by Reuters, it seems that Huawei’s CEO Ren Zhengfei has recently made a statement hinting that Huawei could potentially focus more on software development in the future in order to alleviate the effects caused by the trade ban. With that being said, Huawei could potentially ramp down their smartphone manufacturing if they do start focusing more on software.

Aside from announcing the new HUAWEI Mate X2 foldable phone, Huawei also talked about HarmonyOS last night. HarmonyOS 2.0 beta version has been out for quite some time now and starting from April onwards, some Huawei phones will be getting the upgrade via OTA.

After releasing the Office 2019 back in September 2018, Microsoft will be bringing upgrades to the software by launching Office 2021 later this year. The news was announced yesterday with the company promising two new versions that will be available on both Mac and Windows PCs in the second half of the year.

Chromebooks are probably not what most of you would use. But they're ultra affordable if all you need is a computer for productivity. That's why it's great to see new updates like Chrome OS 88, which adds a few new features to the platform.

It hasn't been that long since Apple released iOS and iPadOS 14.3, but it was far from perfect so a new version was announced. The new version 14.4 comes with some bug fixes and adds two features to your iPhone and iPad.

Every year, Apple would update its iOS to a new version, which inevitably blocks out older units. Back in November last year, it was already rumoured that iOS 15 might phase out a few older devices. Now, the rumour is back via another source with a little bit more information.

Software updates are rarely smooth sailing. For example, macOS Big Sur users reported an update turned their MacBooks into bricks back in November 2020. This time around, it would seem that multiple users are running into a screensaver bug on their Mac PCs.
