I assume it is Samsung Note Pro 12. AFAIK this model was discontinued by Samsung. I was actually looking for 12-inch Android tablet sometime ago but there was nothing except that discontinued Pro 12. I am very surprised that Samsung discontinued Pro 12 so quickly (Pro 12 was released on March...

I think it is not likely tablet manufactures would consider releasing tablets below 9.7 inches. The reason is that cell phones are getting bigger and bigger, closing in to tablet space. Also, cell phones are selling much better than tablets. Personally, I hope they start releasing large tablets...

There are two ways to resolve such situation: 1) Contact developer and point out this issue. I assume this is a bug. 2) Search for other similar app. Depending on how urgent you need it, approach (1) might take time (also depending on developer's willingness to act on this issue). So I would...

Even though I use bluetooth headphones most of the time, often there are situations when I desperately need headphone jack. So yes, it is pretty much needed nowadays.

I was a long-time user of iPhone 4s, but when Apple announced large-screen models I happily jumped a wagon and got biggest screen iPhone 7+. It felt very unusual to hold at the beginning after having a small screen iPhone, but eventually I got used to this kind of size. Recently I took iPhone SE...

I had similar problem when I was trying to find a widescreen Android tablet.

It looks like...

I almost never turned my phone off when I had iPhone. That's because Apple has very strict policy to allow any app to receive processor cycles while on background (only for special cases and for limited short period of time). However, Android has much more load for background tasks so I turn my...

I know it is a crazy idea but I think future devices will be using our DNA for authentication. It should be very reliable and safe, but unfortunately technology is not there yet :(

I assume "Cydia Impactor" would work for iOS version below 8. The problem is that Apple started to encrypt file system starting from iOS 8. Previously, I used "iBrowse" to get access to file system on iOS, but it does not work anymore for version 8 and higher. File system encryption in iOS is...

I also wanted to wait for Tab S4, but eventually bought S3 on Christmas with good discount. My feeling is that tablets are not selling well - statistics shows less and less new models are released every year. Even Google retired its flagship Pixel C. So I concluded that Samsung will not be in...

I owned several generations of iOS phones and tablets but eventually switched to Android. One of the reasons is more flexibility and customization (iOS looks more and more boring due to the Apple "Unified User Experience" policy). However, there was more important reason. There is no "ownership"...
