Google has unveiled a new food photo tool, which is built into its Maps for Android app and allows users to attach images of their meals to places within Maps, in order to improve reviews.

The process is simple. Users simply take a shot of their breakfast, lunch, dinner or grab–and–go coffee.

Maps then fires out a notification saying it’s detected a shot has been taken in a particular location. One more tap then lets foodies post the image, alongside a quick review, onto Maps.

Google earlier this year launched and then quickly shuttered a new food photo app called Tablescape. While that add–on never got a final release, the tech behind it does now seem to be bearing fruit.

At the moment, the new Maps for Android food photo function is limited only to Google’s ‘local guides’ at level three and above. But if it’s a success, expect it to get a wider release.

Google’s move suggests it wants to wrest the initiative from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, where most food snaps wind up.

BlackBerry appears to be readying two new smartphones featuring Google’s Android operating system, as it bids to arrest a long-term sales decline.

Until now, the Canadian mobile-maker has always released devices running its own operating system. But after confirming it's working with Google to create a more secure, business–focused version of Android, the two are now apparently set to cosy up even more snugly.

The first device to leak is a slider codenamed Venice. This phone looks on the surface to be running stock Android, but according to @evleaks will come with a series of features held over from BB10.

That means it'll surely pack BBM, unified messages in BlackBerry Hub and BlackBerry’s own note-taking and tasks apps. Essentially, BlackBerry is following a well worn path of adding its own apps to the basic Google experience.

The other handset is a new–look version of the company’s square Passport handset. Called the Passport Silver Edition, it features the same approach to Android as the Venice.

There’s no word on when either handset will get an official release, although both look very close to being ready to hit shop shelves.

BlackBerry has struggled to match its competitors in recent years, but may find its stock soars by teaming up with Google and hitching a ride on the world’s most popular mobile operating system.

Apple says the handsets affected were ‘sold primarily between September 2014 and January 2015’.

If yours is affected, you’ll need to find your phone’s serial number and enter it into the official checker on Apple’s website to see if it’s eligible for the fix.

To find the serial number, simply go to the Settings app, tap on General and then About. The number can be copied over from there.

Alternatively, you can find the serial number of your iPhone 6 Plus’s box if you still have it or via the summary tab when you plug your iPhone into iTunes.

Apple says that any other hardware problems, such as a cracked screen, should be fixed before you hand over your phone for repair.

Without doing so, the fragile method by which the iSight camera is replaced won’t work. Sure, this could be costly, but not as much as having to buy a whole new phone.

You may find you’re covered under insurance for non–iSight issues.

Don’t go handing your phone over for repair without backing up your iPhone’s data.

This can be easily done by either plugging into iTunes and storing files locally, or via iCloud, with the option to store all your app settings and files on Apple’s servers.

It’s as good excuse as any to ensure you don’t lose vital information

Apple has officially held its hands up and admitted that there’s a fault with a small number of iPhone 6 Plus handsets sold last year.

The issue is with the device’s iSight camera, with users complaining about blurry snaps. It’s believed to be down to a problem with the phablet’s optical image stabilisation tech, prompting Apple to announce it will fix broken devices.

If you’ve got an iPhone 6 Plus and want to know if you qualify and where you stand legally, read on and we’ll tell you everything you need to know about the official Apple scheme.

Three’s free roaming Feel at Home scheme delivers savings of £330 year to each customer, the carrier claims, as it touts its value-adding sweetener during peak holiday season.

Feel at Home enables Three customers to use their phones and tablets abroad for no extra charge. It works by effectively extending the reach of their UK allowance of minutes, texts and data to 18 overseas locations, which now include Britons' favourite holiday hotspots Spain and France.

According to Three, since the introduction of the scheme in 2013 subscribers have saved a total of £1.3 billion, with 538,000 people benefiting from Feel at Home during August and September alone.

Interestingly, Three claims that the average customer gets through 500MB of data per trip overseas. That’s a not inconsiderable amount, given that the average UK contract features a monthly download limit of around 2GB.

ianne Norry, director of brand & comms at Three, said: “Three was the first UK network to allow customers to use their phones abroad at no extra cost, to banish bill-shock and improve peoples’ holiday experiences. We continue to lead the way in making roaming charges fairer.

"The fact that we’ve saved our customers a whopping £1.3 billion proves the true extent of the great roaming rip-off, people are being treated unfairly by other networks, so we will continue to make it right for them with Feel at Home.”

Tesco Mobile has become the latest carrier to announce pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, for what it claims are ‘market-leading’ rates.

Would-be Galaxy S6 Edge Plus owners will be able to pick up the phone from September 4th starting from £43.50 with no upfront fee. That gets you 2,000 minutes, 5,000 texts and 1GB of 4G data per month.

At the other end of the price spectrum, Tesco Mobile’s premium Galaxy S6 Edge Plus contract is £55 per month. Opt for that and you’re looking at allowances of 5,000 texts and 5,000 minutes per month, plus a not insubstantial monthly data limit of 8GB.

Tesco Mobile is the third major UK carrier to announce price points for the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, after Three and EE broke cover with their contracts last week.

Launched alongside the Galaxy Note 5 earlier this month, the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus swaps the standard Galaxy Edge’s 5.1-inch screen for a massive quad HD Super AMOLED 5.67–inch display.

It also makes room for a brawnier processor, ditching the regularly proportioned S6 Edge’s quad-core number for a 64–bit octa–core Exynos model.

Telugu boothu Kathalu In Telugu Script: Using demand for the Apple Watch will see the device be made available in all US outlets of Best Buy next month, in a sign that maybe punters are finally coming around to the charms of the Cali company's smartwatch.

The news comes after Apple failed to report specific sales figures for its wearable, leaving some analysts to wonder openly whether the smartwatch has been a costly failure.

However, speaking with Fortune, Best Buy’s CEO Hubert Joly's categorically refuted that, claiming that "demand for Apple Watch has been so strong in the stores and online".

He added that the Apple Watch would be sold in all 1,050 of Best Buy’s main stores from September 4th, after the success of the initial launch in 300 outlets.

It marks a rare piece of good news for Apple when it comes to the watch.

Research earlier this summer suggested demand had nosedived by 90%, while component suppliers claimed that they were unlikely to reach break even volume on the parts they were producing on Apple's behalf.

Apple is not likely to say just how many watches it has sold, with CEO Tim Cook claiming that he does not wish to give the competition an unfair advantage.

An  image of the packaging for Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 6S Plus has leaked online, as rumours emerge that the updated device will feature a smaller battery.

The blurrycam photo, which comes to us via Chinese media, shows what appears to be folded-out packaging for the handset, alongside the device’s name and familiar Apple branding. That means a white box with embossed design.

The report that accompanied the snap also cites supply-chain sources who claim that the iPhone 6S Plus’s battery will be smaller than the 2910 mAh effort in last year’s iPhone 6 Plus, at 2750 mAh.

The new iPhone 6S is likely to also feature a pared down battery too, down to 1715 mAh from 1800 mAh, the insiders revealed.

While this may cause some initial consternation, it’s likely that Apple will have improved the efficiency of the power units in order to eke out longer battery life.

Those hoping for something like 48 hours worth of power, though, are likely to be disappointed.

Apple is set to reveal its iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus at a special event on September 9th. Official confirmation of the event should arrive in the next few days

Facebook has confirmed it's working on its own virtual assistant service, aimed at taking on the likes of Apple’s Siri and Google Now.

The tool, which is purportedly simply called 'M', forms part of the social network’s Messenger app. Unlike Siri, Microsoft Cortana or Google Now, it doesn’t take voice commands, but answers queries via text.

Facebook says it uses artificial intelligence that’s supervised by humans, with text input meaning it should be more accurate than its rivals.

What makes Facebook's assistant service particularly interesting is the fact that it can carry out tasks for users as well as answering queries.

According to Facebook’s David Marcus, who revealed the news, 'M' can "purchase items, get gifts delivered to your loved ones, book restaurants, [make] travel arrangements, appointments and way more".

For those with privacy concerns, 'M' will only use data from the Messenger app, not from your regular page.

At the moment, the service is only being trialled by select users in the San Francisco Bay Area. But expect that to change if Facebook sees an opportunity to roll it out and take a slice out of the competition.

Apple has been forced to deny a story that it is working on a tool to help iPhone users switch to Android devices.

The Cupertino company issued a rebuttal to the claims, stating that there is "no truth to this rumor [sic]. We are entirely focused on switching users from Android to iPhone, and that is going great".

The Telegraph reported that Apple was working on the app as a result of pressure from European mobile networks concerned about slowing sales of Android handsets.

The app reportedly would have helped users move music, movies, contacts and apps across to their new device.

Apple, however, already has an app, called ‘Move to iOS’, which does exactly that for users looking to switch from Android.

And having made a huge play of their success in convincing Google users to change devices, this rumour always seemed unlikely.

Apple claimed last October that 30% of new iPhone owners had switched from Android.

IOS 9 has been installed on 75% of all compatible iPhones and iPads, according to official figures from Apple.

2014’s iOS 8 is still found on 19% of Apple’s phones and tablets, while older versions of the iOS platform account for 7%. The data was measured on January 11th.

In the past month, 4% of iPhone users have moved to iOS 9. Apple looks set to break the 80% barrier over the coming months, with a new iPhone 6c budget phone due for a March launch and certain to drive growth.

The stats prove iOS 9 is enjoying faster growth than iOS 8, which was installed on 68% of phones and tablets at this point in its lifecycle.

By contrast, Google’s latest Android Marshmallow software is installed on just 0.7% of devices running Android, laying bare just how fragmented the platform remains.

Apple this week revealed its latest iOS 9 beta, featuring a new Night Shift mode designed to cut down on blue light and improve sleep for those using their phones before bed.

The Apple Watch 2 will go into trial production this week, with the tech giant's Taiwanese manufacturing partner Quanta charged with assembling the sequel to last year’s smartwatch.

According to Taiwan’s Commercial Times, Quanta will begin manufacturing the device over the next few weeks.

Quanta made the original Apple Watch, although previous reports have suggested that long-term partner Foxconn may also be working on the follow-up.

The news fits neatly with other rumours pointing towards a March launch for the Apple Watch 2.

Word is that Apple will host an event to show off its latest wearable alongside its new budget smartphone, the much rumoured iPhone 6c.

Quanta’s CEO claimed last year that the Apple Watch 2 would be on shelves in the second quarter of 2016, giving Apple time to offer the device on pre–order after its March event.

The Apple Watch 2 is thought to be thinner, with a faster processor and greater independence from the iPhone.

Watch os2, the latest version of the operating system developed specifically for the Apple Watch that was released last year, is also likely to receive a further update when the device is revealed.

WhaatsApp has confirmed it is to drop its annual $1 subscription fee, with the Facebook–owned messaging service set to go free from 19th January.

The announcement was made by Jan Koum, the founder of WhatsApp, at a conference in Munich.

It calls time on a business model that has existed since the service was founded and which saw users given free use of the service for their first year before having to pay a dollar every twelve months thereafter.

WhatsApp has directly addressed concerns about whether scrapping the fee means users being sent ads to cover costs.

In an official blog post, it said: “Naturally, people might wonder how we plan to keep WhatsApp running without subscription fees and if today’s announcement means we’re introducing third-party ads. The answer is no.”

Instead, it will hook up with businesses to try and 'unify messaging' from the likes of banks and airlines.

So you might get a message from your bank about what appears to be a fraudulent transaction. Or your airline could notify you about a delayed flight.

The aim appears to be to try and make WhatsApp the go–to tool for getting day–to–day errands done.

It’s also likely that as WhatsApp launches in countries where users do not always have debit or credit cards, it needs to be less reliant on such payment methods.

HTC looks set to partner with Google on two new Nexus phones this year, reports suggest.

A tip from a user of Chinese social networking service Weibo claimed the Taiwanese phone-maker has been enlisted to make a 5–inch model and another, larger 5.5–inch device.

HTC made last year’s well received Nexus 9 tablet for Google, but has since struggled to make a similar impact in the smartphone market.

Its One M9 flagship failed to sell in large numbers, with punters instead opting for iPhones and Samsung's high-end Galaxy handsets.

Last year, HTC said it would stop issuing profit forecasts, in an effort to shore up its fluctuating share price.

The two new Nexus phones could go some way to giving HTC some financial breathing space, although the company said at the start of 2016 that it would be moving its focus to Virtual Reality

The Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is Apple's annual jamboree where it shows off what it's been working on over the last 12 months. And now we have a potential date for it.

Mac Rumors has looked into the schedule of Apple's favourite venue for the event, the Moscone West convention centre in San Francisco. While June is looking pretty full, there's one week that's still vacant – the 13-17th.

The conference hall details what else is happening around that week, including a Travel Association Luncheon, a Biotechnology Industry Organisation conference, and the Red Hat Summit. But the third week is conspicuously empty.

Either it's not at liberty to say Apple has booked it until Apple announces the date itself, or Apple is leaving it a little late to reserve the space. We're guessing it's the former.

Apple has held WWDC every year since 2007. It's always in June and always at Moscone West.

The firm is expected to show off iOS 10 (the next iteration of its mobile operating system) and possibly OS X 10.12, which would be its next desktop operating system.

WWDC would come weeks after Google's I/O conference, which is the Android maker's equivalent. Google I/O is set for May 18-20th.

Like WWDC, it will be a software-focussed event, with Google showing off Android N, the next version of its mobile operating system.

Microsoft has a new Lumia-branded phone up its sleeve. But it could be the last-ever.

The Lumia 650 is set to debut on February 1st, but Microsoft won't launching it with a publicity blitz.

Instead of holding a launch party, it will merely announce the handset on its blog. That's according to Windows Central, which has spoken to sources familiar with the matter.

As you might guess, the Lumia 650 will be a low-end affair. Rumoured specs include a 5-inch 720p screen, 1GB of RAM, and an 8-megapixel rear camera. All of which are unlikely to set the world alight.

The Lumia 750 and 850 were reportedly intended to arrive later, but have now been cancelled.

That means the Lumia 650 will likely be the last Lumia phone we see this year, possibly ever. Sad times.

However, Microsoft isn't bowing out of mobile market entirely. Instead, it will focus its energies on its flagship Panos phone, which will most probably come bearing Surface branding.

Microsoft has had some success with the well reviewed Surface range of tablet/laptop hybrids, so let's hope its phone lives up to its name.

The first Windows 10 Lumia left a lot to be desired.

Microsoft bought the Lumia brand when it completed the acquisition of Nokia's mobile division back in 2014.

Samsung's next flagship, the Galaxy S7, is due to be released in the next three months, so it's no surprise to see it leak again. What is surprising is that reports suggest the handset could drop down to a 12-megapixel camera.

That would be down from the 16-megapixel snapper on the Galaxy S6.

So what's going on? Well first of all, it's important to note that these aren't official specs.

They come from Chinese social networking site Weibo where they were posted by AnTuTu, one of the most popular benchmarking platforms. Benchmarking is when a tester puts phones through their paces to gauge exact specs to compare them against each other.

Secondly, a 12-megapixel camera isn't necessarily any worse than a 16-megapixel one.

There's a lot more to image quality than mere megapixels. The iPhone 6S sports a 12-megapixel snapper, after all, and it gives some of the best photos of any phone.

The S7's other leaked specs include a 5.1-inch screen with a resolution of 2,560x1,440 pixels, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

We could see the S7 as soon as Mobile World Congress, which kicks off on February 22nd. Expect more leaks before then.

Say you wake up with a particular refrain in your head. Just fire up the app and you can record any instrument in uncompressed audio.

Winningly, the app detects the rhythm of piano and acoustic guitar, and lays down some virtual drums and bass so you'll know how it'd sound done with a full arrangement. Nice.

Everything you record syncs to iCloud, and is accessible using GarageBand or Logic Pro X.

You can even share your songs with fans using an Apple Music Connect account. So you'd better start getting some fans.

Apple has also updated GarageBand, adding the virtual drummer from the Mac version. And it's been tweaked for the iPad Pro and now supports 3D Touch on the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. Music to our ears.

The iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus are now up for pre-order on Tesco Mobile. And pretty competitively priced they are too.

The 16GB edition of the 6S is up for grabs free from £42 per month, with monthly allowances of 5,000 texts, 5,000 minutes and 3GB of data.

If you want the iPhone 6S Plus, that can be yours from £46 per month with no upfront charge. Allowances here are 3GB of data per month and the same 5,000 texts and 5,000 minutes allocation.

Free handset deals for the iPhone 6S have been pretty hard to come in the UK in this pre-order period. So it’s fair to say that Tesco Mobile's pricing is an fairly aggressive gambit and makes its contracts well worth a look.

On the downside, Tesco Mobile’s service is pretty frills-free. That means you don’t get the kind of sweeteners and jazzy whizzbangs you get with, say, O2’s Priority tickets and high-street discounts scheme. Or even the cheap movie rentals included with EE Film Club.

But you do get free ClubCard points when you pay your monthly mobile phone bill. So if you do your shopping at Tesco anyway, you could be quids-in.

Apple is mightily mistaken if it thinks stylus support will be a major selling point for the iPad Pro, a survey suggests, as the tech giant bids to reverse a long-term decline in tablet sales.

In a poll of uSwitch Tech users, 27.2% said they aren’t convinced they’d use the Apple Pencil, despite its much-trumpeted note-taking and drawing smarts. A further 6.6% said they ‘hate it’ and that ‘it seems a bit old fashioned’.

Punters also seem chagrined at the £65 or so cost of the add-on, with 22.2% describing the asking price as ‘way too expensive’. Nearly as many (19.4%) said they were frustrated that they’ll have to pay anything extra to be the owner of an Apple Pencil.

Conversely, the amount of punters giving the Pencil a warm welcome were pretty paltry. Only 10.2% described it as a “great addition to the iPad’, while a similarly scanty 8.8% said they think they’ll find it very useful.

However, for all that consumers seemingly aren’t sold on the Apple Pencil, they appear to be much, much more receptive to the iPad Pro itself. A not inconsiderable 30% of the sample said that they’ve added the super-sized tablet to their shopping list since it was unveiled last week.

The iPhone 6S will cost mere mortals like you and I at least £539 when it goes on sale on September 25th, but how much does it cost Apple to make?

The Bank of America Merrill Lynch has taken a look at all the parts that make up the new handset and reckons that it comes in at about $234 in parts (that’s around £150).

The most expensive elements are the iPhone 6S’s semiconductor pieces which set the company back $127 in total (£83) - these include things like sensors and processors - while the screen, camera and battery add up to $73 (£48) and the remaining bits and pieces like the shell of the handset itself add a further $33 (£22).

Then, of course, you have to factor in Apple’s manufacturing, distribution and marketing costs.

Snazzy launch shows like last Wednesday’s don’t come cheap and neither do huge marketing campaigns, so Apple isn’t raking in a cool £389 every time someone buys an iPhone 6S.

It’s not doing badly though, let’s face it.

Apple has broken its silence on the subject of the ‘undeleteables’ - apps that come pre-installed on iPhones and iPads, and are impossible to remove.

We’re talking about things like Stocks, which anecdotal evidence would suggest that literally no one uses, the Watch app which is only any use to you if you are one of the eight people in the world who owns an Apple Watch, and iBooks which is the digital equivalent of a dusty, cobweb-strewn library shelf.

Some of the undeletable apps are useful, of course - Notes, Mail, Maps and Passbook all have their roles to play if you haven’t already replaced them with better third-party apps that do the same things - but Tips? Has anyone ever actually used Tips?

Tim Cook has finally conceded that Apple is at least thinking about maybe letting you delete some of them.

He told Buzzfeed: “This is a more complex issue than it first appears.

“There are some apps that are linked to something else on the iPhone. If they were to be removed they might cause issues elsewhere on the phone. There are other apps that aren’t like that.

Virgin Media has announced pre-order price points for the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, ahead of the phones’ official streetdate of September 25th.

The iPhone 6S is up for grabs from £34 per month with no upfront charge on Virgin Media’s Freestyle tariff. That’s gets you 250 minutes and 250MB of data per month, plus unlimited texts.

Given the choice, though, we’d probably opt for the £39 per month option, which includes a more realistic monthly data allowance of 1GB, as well as 2,500 minutes and unlimited texts. Once again, there’s no upfront charge for the phone.

If those sound like competitive prices, they are. But there is a catch. And that’s the mobile internet service you get on Virgin Media is 3G, rather than the 4G and even faster Cat6 4G+ service of which the new iPhone is capable.

At the time of writing, the iPhone 6S Plus was listed on drop-down menus on Virgin Media’s site, but wasn’t available to buy. That may be just because it’s out of stock.

Or it could be that Virgin Media has opted not to stock it at all. Which isn’t out of the question given that last year’s iPhone 6 Plus appealed to a pretty niche market compared with the standard iPhone 6.

Either way, we’ve given Virgin Media’s press team a shout and we’ll report back with their answer.

Apple’s shown its virtual assistant a bit of love in a bid to get you to actually use it.

So fire up Siri for the first time since 2013 and let it run in the background because its new features will improve the more you use it.

Siri’s new location-based smarts should start cueuing up content based on where you are and what you’re doing, and it’ll start suggesting appointments for your calendar and deciphering your text messages too.
Apple’s added yet another undeletable app to your homescreen, but unlike Stocks and Watch, most people will actually find this one useful.

The News app pulls in stories from your favourite newspapers and websites and arranges them all into one rather elegant app - expect this one to improve over time as more publishers get on board.

Notes on iOS has always been a pretty basic affair, letting you jot down passing thoughts in a notebook-inspired design.

In iOS 9, it’s been given quite a makeover. You can now add photos, maps and bullet points to your notes, as well as being able to draw using your finger rather than just type with the stuffy old keyboard. Speaking of which...

Apple has released its first iPhone app. Named ‘Move to iOS’, it does exactly what it says on the tin by helping poor, lowly Android users level up to iOS.

“No need to save your stuff elsewhere before switching from Android,” the app proclaims, before explaining that it migrates your contacts, message history, photos and videos, bookmarks, email accounts and calendars from your old Android handset to your shiny new iPhone or iPad.

It uses a closed Wi-Fi circuit created by your iOS device to transfer your data between the handsets

This may be Apple’s first Android app, but it won’t be the last - the company has plans to bring its Apple Music app to its competitors’ app store too.

Although released less than 24 hours ago, the app already has 2,750 one-star reviews.

If that doesn’t put you off, the free app is available on Google Play now - but you’ll need to be running Android 4.0 or above (and have an iOS device to transfer to).

Barclays, the last of the UK’s major banks not to offer Apple Pay, will rollout the service to its customers by April at the latest.

The bank’s CEO, Ashok Vaswani, personally emailed customer Oli Foster-Burnell to say that the service would be available within 60 to 75 days. It has been speculated that it could launch on March 28th.

Vaswani said that Barclays will "launch Apple Pay, as committed, within the next 60 to 75 days".

Last year, the bank said it would make Apple Pay available early in 2016. Its failure to deliver the service alongside the likes of Halifax, Natwest and HSBC has left some customers so irate that they have changed banks.

Apple Pay launched in the UK in June. Since then its growing popularity and the boom in contactless payments has forced Barclays’ hand, despite the bank offering its own bPay platform, which has so far failed to gain mainstream traction.

Sa've already seen some supposed images and specs for the Samsung Galaxy S7, and now comes a diagram to add to the intrigue.

The illustration supposedly comes from someone inside Samsung who wishes to remain anonymous
so they don't lose their job. Can't say we blame them.

The annotations you can see are in Korean, so we only have the numbers to go on. But according to the diagram, the Galaxy S7 will have a 5.2-inch screen, while the S7 Plus will sport a 5.5-inch display.

Two processors are mentioned: the Exynos 8890 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 820. It's also said to come in three varieties: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB.

So far, it's all in keeping with what we've heard previously. But the diagram also says it will sport a USB Type-C port. Whereas previously, we've heard it will have a standard USB 2.0 port.

USB Type-C is the newer connection, and lets you plug in the cable either way, instead of fussing to get it the right way around. It's also quicker than USB 2.0.

We'll have to wait and see which Samsung uses for the S7.


As ever, this is 100 per cent unofficial, so take it all with a pinch of salt.

We'll soon know for sure, though. The Galaxy S7 is set to be announced at Mobile World Congress, which kicks off on February 22nd.

Samsung has revealed its quarterly results. And they suggest that like its key rival Apple, it will face struggles in the smartphone sector throughout 2016.

Profits from its mobile business slid by 7.3% between October and December 2015, with smartphone sales also in decline. The company did not reveal exact figures.

However, it did say that it expected smartphone shipments to be boosted year–on–year during the first three months of 2016. This is down to the launch of new products, including a range of updated Galaxy A Series handsets.

The company admitted it expected things to be tough in 2016 in general, though, and forecasted "single-digit percentage growth in both the smartphone and tablet categories, amid softening demand and intensifying competition".

Despite this, it made the bullish assertion that it "aims to reinforce its market leadership and drive growth with differentiated and innovative products".
