Samsung had a triumphant year with
the Galaxy S8 range along with Glaaxy Note 8 phablet being a hit with users.
Now, Samsung fans are all the more eager for the company's next flagship Galaxy
S9 after pictures and features were leaked online. However, there has been no

The Korean giant is expected to
release its successor early next year in the form of the Galaxy S9 which is
aimed to give stiff competition to iPhone X and Pixel 2.

stylish-looking speaker with high quality sound. The Google Assistant is also
available on Google Home Mini, which makes it very useful for getting any
information like knowing about weather, etc.

Camera Drone
Now, this is something to watch
for - an autonomous sleek flying phone case camera which is just 9mm (3/8in) in
thickness and easily fits into your pocket. Slated to be released in 2018, the
awe factor here is that it not just a drone taking selfies and capturing
stunning images instead it works as a protective case for your smartphone!
Project Ara - Modular Phones
With Project Ara we guess there
will be no necessity to burn a hole in your pockets and buy a newer smart
phone. How? Well tech giant Google is working on Project Ara which will curb
the need to buy new phones with technological advanced features. Project Ara
will reveal a phone that will have replaceable components which can be changed
according to the one's desires.
For example, a photographer can upgrade
camera or lens on the smart phone or any music lover can simply upgrade the
speakers and audio quality.
Liftware
Liftware is a self-stabilizing
handle that can be used as a fork or a spoon and aid people with no or limited
muscle power like those with Parkinson's disease. Patients with such ailments
usually lose their motor skills and muscle power making it difficult for them
to hold or life anything. However with this new gadget we are sure they will be
able to savour some delicacies without any assistance!
