And now, a moment of silence for the phone that is likely to cause a loss of 5.3 billion dollars (according to the Toronto Star's article) by 2017 for Samsung.


Samsung has now announced that they have ceased all production of the Galaxy Note 7 after more than a handful of phones have caught fire, exploded, or done both. It's so bad that the Royal Mail refuses to return them. This causes 10,000 or so UK residents to be unable to dispose of them properly.


To help, Samsung has said that it will expand its sale on the next two smartphones that will be released this spring. The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and the Samsung Galaxy S7. That's it for today guys but if you do happen to have a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 that's working fine, I would recommend returning it. It might be ok but at any given moment it might catch fire and explore which can cause serious injuries. Stay safe out there <3

What if you could catch 'em all without even taking out your phone??



The new Pokemon GO Plus is a way for trainers to catch Pokemon using the GO. TO use it, all you have to do is open the app on your phone, tap settings, and you'll find the "Pokemon GO Plus " menu item, tap the button on the Plus and then tap the notification on the app.


The coolest part is that same button will change colors depending on what it's picking up (Blue for Pokestop,Yellow for a new Pokemon, and green for Pokemon you've already encountered.) If you click it while it's Blue, you collect the Pokestop items. If it's Yellow, it attempts to catch Pokemon (FOR YOU) Although if you don't succeed in catching the Pokemon on the Plus, you need to open up the app to attempt to catch it again. (Well at least you'll get tons of Rattata candy:)

That's it for today's post! Hope you guys enjoyed more of my posts on my little corner of the internet and all see you next post! Bye <3

We've heard of it before. Apple trying to make a social media app (*cough*PING*cough*)

Ping,Apple,Social Media,Music,Itunes

However, this time they're thinking bigger. I mean,what's more far fetched than making a Snapchat dupe? Everyone's been doing it!(*cough*INSTAGRAM*cough*) And I feel like it's beginning to get too much trying to keep up with my IG stories and my Snapchat ones even though Snapchat will always be the OG.

Enough of the memes though. It was reported to Bloomberg that you should be able to record video
(but not take photos) and add filters and drawings. I really need to stress that this all isn't confirmed but rumors are fun soooo...
<

The reason they're pressing to do something so spontaneous is probably because for the first time in a really long time, iPhones having been selling like they used to. Which means make way for Android!


That's it for today guys! Let me know in the comments below if  you're on team Android or Apple!

If you've been using your Instagram recently, you would've noticed something familiar. WAY too familiar.Instagram's new update that launched just this week features a similar setup to Snapchat in the fact that you can now add stories that disappear after 24 hours and don't appear on your feed.
Instagram,Snapchat,Stories,Steal,Copy,Copyright,How to use


Honestly, there's a LOT more that I feel like I could do with the Instagram Stories because on Snapchat I have like 54 or so people that actually see my story before they disappear so it would be fun to have a Snapchat story where like 100+ people see it because then it feels more like a Youtube channel which is exactly what I'm using mine for so you can check that out @dinaelhanan . To use this, all you need to do is tap the profile picture of the person you want to see the stories of and you're set!

Also, unlike Snapchat, Instagram has made it's stories MUCH more cleaner and easier to use so that the general public can get full use of it (aka. people over 40  ;)

You can't use any Face-Filters like Snapchat but you can draw using neon colors which look pretty awesome.

Hope you guys enjoyed that post and if you did please comment down below if YOU think that Snapchat is going to do something to defend themselves????? ALSO! I'LL BE POSTING 2 NEW POSTS IN A WEEK SO STAY TUNED and you guys just might be able to see a Youtube video soon. Maybe, maybe not but stay tuned to find out♥☺

Seeing a pattern on how apple usually releases their phones, we're expecting an announcement by sometime this fall.



Expectations expectations, but many of them say that we might not see the 16gb model for the iPhone 7(7s if there is one) This would be a smart move as, according to GottaBeMobile, you'll run out of space quicker than you can tweet "new phone! So happy I got the new iphone!" as the quality of images and panoramic images will take up so much space.


LetemSvetemApplem think there will be a headphone jack, but most reliable rumors suggest otherwise. I also think there won't be. Especially if they are considering making the phone completely waterproof.

The white antenna line on the back under the camera might disapear which I don't really like unless they're thinking of COMPLETELY changing the design. I mean, wouldn't this be sick? (make sure to click the title of this article to see the images!)



Thanks for reading and let me know in the comments what YOU think we're gonna see this fall (hopefully) for the iPhone 7 and or iPhone 7s!

Today, Snapchat decided to update, again. Question is, will you love it or hate it?
Snapchat, Update, Memories, Tech News, Digital Dina,gif, Introducing Memories

It's not a drastic change in design, layout or usability. The new feature, Memories, is  basically just a smart camera roll right on your Snapchat.

User will also be able to add a pictures they just took using Snapchat to memories so that they can see it later.
Snapchat, Update, Memories, Tech News, Digital Dina,gif, Introducing Memories, save to memories

Memories is private and if you're logged in, only you can see those pictures. However, if your friend's using your phone or scrolling through your Memories and you don't want them to see a certain picture, you can put that picture  in the "My Eyes Only" folder!
Snapchat, Update, Memories, Tech News, Digital Dina,gif, Introducing Memories

My favorite part of this feature is that you can save Snapchat clips, then edit and share them later.
Snapchat, Update, Memories, Tech News, Digital Dina,gif, Introducing Memories

To find a specific picture in your Memories, you can type "dog" or "Jessica" (Your friend's name if it is included or written somewhere in the snap) and pictures realting to that keyword will popup.

This will be in effect sometime next month, stay tuned and wait for that message from Team Snapchat telling you that you can start using Memories!

I know what most people that know about the Google Cardboard are saying right now. "Ugh another laggy, non-interactive mobile Virtual Reality?" However, the new Google Daydream is an interactive, quick responding and approachable Mobile Virtual Reality Platform.The new Google Daydream will be able this fall. There will be a controller and a Headset.

To me, the controller looks like a TV remote. But there's so much more to it than meets the eye. The controller can be used to point at things and also had a touchpad which will make for super interactive and fun games. Speaking of, the apps that you can use on the VR will be ON THE VR. By that I mean that there will be a home screen using the VR.

What I'm ecxited about is the list of cool news, movies, and sports games companies that they're working with to give us an experience where we're AT the game or the news talk.
Google Daydream, Mobile Reality, VR, Virtual Reality, Google Cardboard, Google IO 2016, netflix on VR, NBA on VR, Hulu on VR, New York Times on VR, HBO NOW on VR, IMAX on Vr, vr MOVIES


Google apps are also going to be coming to daydream, here's a few that were mentioned:
-Google movies
-Google street view

*walking through paris without the expensive and long plane ride? Count me in!*

-Photos

-AND YOUTUBE! 

You can actually watch music videos, beauty tips and events just like you're there! You can also watch any old non-VR video on Youtube.


Are you excited? Cause I sure am! If you are and if you're thinking of getting it this fall, leave a comment down below !
Here's the new netflix logo and what you need to know about it.


Netflix new logo 2016

Before you freak out, they aren't changing it's actual logo but its changing its icon . "We are introducing a new element into our branding with an N icon," a spokesperson told The Verge. "The current Netflix logo will still remain."
"The icon will start to be incorporated into our mobile apps along with other product integrations in the near future," Honestly, I don't mind it if it's just for the app's icon.

The new Xbox One S was announced just 4 days ago at E3 in Los Angeles. It's expected to come out sometime this August with 2TB s of space.

One of the cool features that Microsoft really wanted to express was the new design and size. Not only will it be 40% smaller, it will also feature a white design. Personally, I have both the Xbox One and the Xbox 360. I love the sleek black design of them but the way they incorporated the white into the design is really pleasing to the eye.

It was told that Xbox One would also have backwards compatibility so it doesn't come as a surprise that this was included in the Xbox One S.

The controller was, again, another thing they changed and the changes are things they really should've thought of sooner like textured grip.

My favorite feature of all is the IR Blaster. The IR Blaster basically allows you to configure your Xbox One S to be able to turn on other devices like your TV and  audio receiver which is really useful.

Overall, I think that the Xbox One S has a lot of things to offer for a minor upgrade and I probably will be buying it as soon as it releases. If you guys want to see a post or video on My Youtube of me unboxing the new Xbox One S (hopefully) , leave a comment down below and I'll definitely look into it!

Have your ever thought about having a phone that literally splits in half so that you can get cool upgrades?


Well, the newest addition to LG's impressive collection of smartphones is the LG G5. Other than the shockingly cool splitting-in-half part, the phone has a lot of other impressive features too. They include:

-A fingerprint touch on the back that allows you to turn the phone on again EVEN IF the phone is shut down or restarted (the phone must still have charge in it however to do so) This is called the always on feature.

And the LG G5 "friends". That's what those cool attachments are called. The above gif was one of 7 cool attachments you can get separately and use with your LG phone. They include:


That's all for my post today Digital Divas! Stayed tuned for some really exciting upcoming posts! 'Till then♥♥

With all the hype around the internet about the iPhone 7, all of a sudden we get hit by this unexpected wave of the iPhone SE. "SE? What's up with not using numbers?" You might be wondering, or "Why make a new phone that look just like the iPhone 5 and 5s?" So, as my first tech blog post, these are a few questions I'll be answering for you guys today.


Instead of going "bigger is better" this time, apple went for a design that was very similar to their most popular phone, the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 5s. "OK Dina, you've narrowed it down. But why make a new phone that's just like the old phone?" Well my lovely readers, that's where you are wrong.
In the iPhone SE, there has been changes. BIG changes. And this time it's not to the size. By keeping the iPhone 5 and 5s' design and size, they were able to add features without a huge price tag.

The new features include:

-2x the CPU performance than the iPhone 5s 
(notice we didn't say iPhone 6/6s)
-3x faster GPU performance than the iPhone 5s 
( Again, notice we didn't say iPhone 6/6s)
-12 MP photos and 4K videos 
(which honestly is my favorite feature)
-It also features iOS 9 
(which the iPhone 5s can also support so idk why this is so special)
-and Live Photos 
(which we saw in the iPhone 6)


Which sounds great until you compare the numbers. Most of the things listed above are on the iPhone 6/6s. That's why, on the official website, they are comparing the iPhone SE with the iPhone 5s and not the 6/6s. This, however, isn't as bad as most people think. Looking at the specs' numbers, the iPhone SE actually is a run for the iPhone 6/6s' money. Sure it's a smaller screen but if actually being able to move your thumb to the top of the screen isn't a problem to you than this is a pretty good phone. 

Why the name"iPhone SE"?

Why is it called the iPhone SE? Well, SE stands for Special Edition. So basically it's not a whole new generation, it's an edition.

Overall, I would recommend it for people who:

-Don't think they have it in their budget for the upcoming iPhone 7
-Who don't like big screens
-Who want an iPhone 6/6s but it's too big/expensive
