[3] Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Confirmed, Will Be 'Safer' Says Mobile Chief:-
In the bold move,Samsung is not planning to discontinue its Note Series and will launch its Samsung Galaxy Note 8 later this year.The news comes from Samsung mobile chief DJ Koh,killing all rumours of the death of the Note series.
Koh told to CNET that Note series has a lot of loyalists and the company plans to unveil the Note 8 this year.He further says that, "I will bring
back a better, safer and very innovative Note 8."
This is a bold move from Samsung, seeing the bad reputation the Note brand now has,because of last year's mishap.The company had to make several apologies
to its customers, lose billions of dollars in profits and conduct a historic worldwide recall of its exploding Note 7 units.many,at that time ,were convinced that Samsung would put the lid on its Note series altogether moving forward.but it's happening.
Koh has reasons to believe that the Note series is still very popular
among people. "We found through the investigative process, we knew
there are lots and lots of loyal Note customers," he told the
publication. Apart from the fact that the company is bringing the Galaxy
Note 8, there is little that is known about the device.

Telecom operator Vodafone has officially launched its new postpaid Vodafone Red plans with unlimited calls and associated data benefits. With the unveiling, the company has detailed two new plans. Earlier in the month, the company introduced Vodafone Red, with four new plans offering unlimited calls and more data in a bid to combat Reliance Jio competition. And now, new additional plans of higher denominations have been introduced into the mix.
Vodafone
Red now has new Rs. 1,699 and Rs. 1,999 postpaid plans. The Rs. 1,699
Red postpaid plan comes with unlimited calls on home network as well as
on roaming (i.e. free outgoing calls on roaming). It also comes with 100
text messages, and 20GB of bundled 4G/ 3G data for 4G smartphone users
(16GB for non-4G smartphones). The Rs. 1,999 postpaid offers all the
same things but with 24GB of bundled 4G/ 3G data for 4G smartphone users
(20GB for non-4G smartphones).
In few circles (like Mumbai), a new Vodafone Red Rs. 2,999 postpaid plan is also listed on the company website. This plan offers 40GB of bundled 4G/ 3G data for 4G smartphone users (30GB for non-4G smartphones), apart from the above mentioned calling and SMS benefits.
These new offerings have been added to the Rs. 499, Rs. 699, Rs. 999, and Rs. 1,299 plans launched earlier. Vodafone's Rs. 1,299 Red postpaid plan also offers all the same things as the higher denomination plans, but bundled only 12GB of 4G/ 3G data for 4G smartphone users (8GB for non-4G smartphones).
[5] Google Rolling Out Instant Tethering Feature With Google Play Services v10.2:
Google is said to be adding a new feature dubbed Instant Tethering with its latest Google Play services version 10.2 framework. According to several users who have received the feature, Instant Tethering will let users connect other devices with same Google account in case there is no connection and can be seen as an evolution of the Wi-Fi hotspot feature for a single user's devices.
The best use case for the new Instant Tethering is for tablets as users can enable the feature on their mobile device to a tablet with the same Google account to connect to the Internet. The feature is reportedly being seen first on Nexus and Pixel devices running Android 7.1.1 Nougat. It's however worth noting that the Instant Tethering is not available to all Android 7.1.1 users yet, as Android Police points out that this is a server-side update.
The Instant Tethering feature, once available, should be listed in Google settings. It is being speculated that Nexus devices running Android Marshmallow should also start seeing the new feature soon. One of the Google+ users add that the new Instant Tethering feature requires no additional setting to connect two devices with same Google account. Though, the initial setup will have to be done by the user.
Andreas Proschofsky wrote in a Google+ post, "Google Play Services 10.2 has started to roll out and it's introducing a pretty nifty new feature: Instant tethering. Basically it works like that: If - say - your tablet has no data connection and you also have a phone connected to the same Google account, it can automatically offer to use the data connection of the phone - zero setup necessary, just a confirmation."
Notably, a similar feature is already available for iOS and Mac for the past couple of years - introduced with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite in 2014. Called Instant Hotspot, it's a part of Continuity, and users need to turn on their Personal Hotspot on their iOS device - the mobile Internet connection will now be available automatically as a hotspot on all the user's Apple devices as long as they are close by and are signed in with the same Apple ID.
