There are many parts of the world in which data can be expensive and internet can be slow and unreliable. This means instead of being concerned about whether your video can be streamed in 4K, some are worried if their videos can even stream smoothly at all, or if their videos won’t eat up all of their data.
The good news is that if you wouldn’t mind if your apps were more data-friendly, then you’ll be pleased to learn that Google has since announced a new app called Gallery Go. This is a lightweight alternative to Google Photos, where the app itself only weighs in around 10MB but will come with some of the features of Google Photos that users have come to know and love.
According to Google, “The app keeps your photos automatically organized and make your snaps look their best with easy editing tools such as one-tap auto-enhance. The app is only 10MB to keep your phone light and fast, so that you can spend more time capturing memories.” While the app was announced for the Nigerian market, it is available worldwide through Google Play as long as you are running Android 8.1 and above.
This is not the first time that Google has created “lite” version of apps catered towards emerging markets. Previously, the company had launched YouTube Go which was also designed for emerging markets in mind.

Compact cameras don’t get a lot of love these days because for the most part, the majority of our phones can actually do a pretty good job that in some cases can be better than regular compact cameras. However, as always, there are outliers, and Sony’s RX100 series of compacts are some of them.
The camera is a favorite amongst YouTubers and those who are looking for a small camera that offers up high performance, and it seems that Sony is working on a successor in the form of the Sony RX100 VII. According to a report from Camera Nokishita, they claim that one of the highlight features of the upcoming RX100 VII is that it will feature the “world’s fastest autofocus” for a camera with a 1-inch sensor.
It is also allegedly on par with Sony’s A9 mirrorless camera, which for those unfamiliar is one of the best mirrorless cameras around at the moment. Given that the majority of users shoot using autofocus instead of manually focusing, this is a huge deal as it means that the compact camera will be even faster than before, especially since some of the earlier criticisms about the camera is its difficulty trying to focus on objects in front of it.
It remains to be seen when the camera will be launched, but it is not expected to come cheap. The camera has been estimated to cost around $1,500.

User interfaces are extremely important as it helps contribute to a better overall experience. An app could be extremely useful and functional, but if it has a cluttered interface, it makes users want to use it less. For those who feel that the Xbox One home screen could do with some tidying up, you’re in luck.
This is because Microsoft has recently announced that they’ll be testing out a new home screen design for its Xbox One. The company claims to have listened to the feedback from its customers and users and will be trying out a new design based on that feedback.
According to Microsoft, “With this new experimental Home design, the first thing you’ll notice is we’ve removed the Twists from the top of Home in favor of separate buttons that launch your gaming experiences. The goal is to let you jump into Xbox Game Pass, Mixer, Xbox Community and Microsoft Store quicker than ever. We’ve also shifted things around to make more room for your recently played titles.”
Note that what you see right now is not the final design. Microsoft points out that the design could change in the future based on additional feedback, so it is not set in stone currently.

When the Galaxy Fold’s launch was delayed indefinitely due to durability concerns, many thought Samsung’s $2,000 bendable phone was dead in the water. Some folks like Apple enthusiast John Gruber even proclaimed that the Fold “is never going to ship and everyone knows it.”
