Samsung Galaxy S7 edge rumoured to be carrying a 3,600mAh battery

If recent leaks are to be believed, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S7 edge will be getting a rather sizable upgrade battery-wise. A recent FCC filing shows that one of the new flagships will be sporting a 3,600mAh battery, which will be up from the current 2,600mAh battery of the S6 edge. The screenshot shows the FCC ID A3LSMG935KOR and the battery size. The FCC ID was previously confirmed to be for the S7 edge. There is no other similar screenshot though that confirms this to be the Galaxy S7’s battery.

LG teases Always On display for upcoming LG G5

LG is preparing its latest flagship, the LG G5 and one of the features it is teasing is an always on display that can show missed calls, notifications, emails and calendar events at all times. This feels like a throwback to the days when flip-phones displayed this information on a small screen when closed but should be a welcome feature for anyone who hates having to use an unlock code just to see what they've missed. Samsung, similarly, is expected to offer an always on feature on its Galaxy S7 flagship but no cohesive details are available right now.

Always On technology, while welcome on smartphones and tablets, should be a standard feature on smartwatches whose primary function it is to tell time as well as mirror notifications and alerts. Hopefully we will see this made a key feature for wearables sooner rather than later.

Twitter 'VIPs' now start seeing ads again

A few months back, Twitter started testing out a feature that kept "VIPs" or elite users from seeing ads on the social network. It wasn't clear what VIPs were. It didn't seem to be about reach but more about verified accounts. Now, though the test for these special people seem to be over as Twitter is now treating them like regular users. They can now see ads like the rest of us. In Twitter's defense, they didn't announce this as an official feature but more of a test of sorts which the company likes to engage in every now and then.

Google brings back Adblock Fast to the Play Store

It seems Google's issue with Adblock Fast was more technical in nature. The adblocking plugin has been reinstated on the Play Store. So, if you use Samsung's Internet Browser and running Android 4.0 or higher, you can install the plugin yet again. But if you're on Chrome and want to access the adblocker, unfortunately you won't be able to use this.
