Samsung Galaxy A9 Star and A9 Star Lite pricing revealed

By

Samsung semi-unveiled the Galaxy A9 Star and A9 Star Lite a coupled of days ago and started accepting pre-orders. Except details on price and shipping were vague at best. Not any more - the two phones ship out on June 15. Here's what these phones are about and how much they cost.
Samsung Galaxy A9 Star
The Samsung Galaxy A9 Star shares many similarities with the A6+, but it’s not identical. For one, it has a larger 6.3” Super AMOLED screen with 1,080 x 2,220 px resolution (and no notch). And the design is noticeably different too.
The dual camera is tucked into the upper left corner of the back and the fingerprint reader is pulled up. The dual camera is a 16 MP + 24 MP setup where the secondary module is for low-light shooting. The 24 MP sensor uses pixel binning to combine four pixels into one. The camera records 4K video at 30 fps.

The Galaxy A9 Star is powered by the capable Snapdragon 660 chipset and comes with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB storage. It packs a relatively large 3,700 mAh battery (it’s bigger than the S9+ battery). And it boasts Dolby Atmos audio.

Apple releases new iOS 12 beta, putting a stop to infuriating update notification

By
A new iOS update is now available (for real) “A new iOS update is now available. Please update from the iOS 12 beta.” If you’ve been running the latest version of Apple’s beta software for OS 12, you’ve likely been pestered by this notification a whole lot over the last 24 hours. Dozens of times? Potentially hundreds? Yesterday, it started showing up every time an iOS device was unlocked — or even if you just pulled down the notification tray a little bit. Thankfully, just as we enter Labor Day weekend, Apple has shipped another iOS 12 update to restore sanity. If you open up your iPhone’s settings, iOS 12 public beta 10 (developer beta 12) is now available to download. Once you do, the obnoxious, constant alert — about an update that didn’t even exist — will go away. GuilhermeRamo managed to pinpoint what went wrong with the last iOS 12 beta. The build thought it was about to expire, thus setting off the string of notifications and mass frustration: This annoying hiccup...

WhatsApp for iPhone Gets Face ID, Touch ID Biometric Authentication

By
HIGHLIGHTS WhatsApp for iPhone has a Screen Lock option to enable the new feature The feature can be enabled immediately or after an interval Outlook and Signal are offering a similar experience for some time WhatsApp for iPhone has received an important update through build version 2.19.20. The latest update brings the anticipated biometric authentication that allows users to lock the WhatsApp on their iPhone models by deploying the native Face ID or Touch ID. The new feature, which has been in anticipation since October last year - when the new authentication addition was reported for the first time, works similarly to how you can lock Outlook or Signal on your iPhone.
