Matt Swider, Senior Mobile and Buying Guides Editor for TechRadar, explains what to make of the newest Samsung Galaxy S9 rumors and their limited edition Olympic Note8. He also breaks down Chromecast's Wi-Fi issues and the newest Android malware discovery.
Samsung's new Galaxy S9 is expected to have better battery life, and Swider says it will keep the headphone jack. The company's Winter Olympics Note8 will be white, and will only be issued to Olympians and their families.
Plus, Chromecasts have been overloading home Wi-Fi networks, slowing them down and even shutting them down for periods of time. Swider notes that Google has yet to comment on this issue.
Russian researchers have discovered the most advanced Android malware ever. The program called "Skygofree" uses Google's accessibility features to intercept WhatsApp messages. Swider says the average phone user has no reason to be worried.
