Poll results: Is Android L the most important Android update ever?

One of the biggest software-related news in recent months was the announcement of Android L, Google’s brand new Android iteration that will be released sometime this fall. Google showcased a lot of the features that Android L comes with, and it even made a developer preview available for its Nexus devices (only owners of the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013 can get it at the moment).

While some things about Android L may change before it reaches regular users, it’s already more than obvious that this is a massive update. But is it the most important Android update ever? Well, we ran a poll last week, asking you exactly this question.

From the total of 4,843 votes, 2,307 voters (47.64%) are already convinced that Android L represents the most important update since Google’s platform was first announced back in 2008. 1,878 voters (38.78%) aren’t so sure about this, still waiting to test Android L before deciding. Finally, only 658 voters (13.59%) said that the L release isn’t the most important Android update yet (with ICS, Gingerbread, or Jelly Bean being more important to some of our readers).

In case you didn’t bother counting, Android L is the tenth major Android update. Before it, we had Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, and KitKat.

Apple iPhone 8 specifications may not have been finalized yet Initially, there were many reports suggesting the iPhone 8 launch would get delayed due to some manufacturing issue. Proving all the speculations wrong, last week Apple sent out invites for the launch event that is to take place on September 12. As usual, the name of the product was not mentioned in the official invite. However, judging from the company's past launching pattern, we are quite sure the iPhone 8 will get launched at the event. Now, with just 4 days left until the launch date, a report by The Investors has revealed a shocking piece of information. According to the publication, the specs line up of the iPhone 8 is not finalized yet. The website claims to have obtained the information from an anonymous representative from Apple's local supplier. The supplier says that the shipments of the 2017 iPhones started only from late August. He further added that its firms are yet to get exact details on t...

Samsung Level In Review

Samsung Level In Review Are we shocked that Samsung wants to be taken more seriously in the mobile audio accessories business? Not really, seeing that they’re known to meddle in several consumer electronics affairs. From smartphones to refrigerators, Sammy has amassed quite a venture that’s not stopping or slowing down any time soon. Very recently, we reported that Samsung introduced a new line of high-end mobile optimized audio series , Level, which spans a wide array of options. In this review, we’re taking a look at a premium in-ear solution – the Samsung Level In. For something priced above the $100 mark, the Samsung Level In doesn’t look or feel premium, which is a sad realization. Visually, it looks exactly like almost any other ordinary pair of headphones that come with the purchase of a smartphone – so there’s nothing too special here. Donning a white finish, one that’s comprised out of plastic, the Level In has a hollow feel. Indeed, there are chrome acce...
