wear watch you'll be happy to know that android wear just got a lot more powerful android wear now supports watches with built-in Wi-Fi and the good part is that the watch doesn't need to be on the same Wi-Fi network as the smart phone that means for instance that you can leave your phone on the charger on your desk and go on about your day and still get notifications from it as long as both devices are connected to the internet now let's talk new gestures for apps and contacts previously accessing the apps on your device required several swipes and taps which made it feel a bit cumbersome now getting the app screen is as easy as tapping on the time while accessing contacts is done by swiping to the left voice commands are now accessible through another swipe you know that neat handwriting app that Google just launched in the Play Store last week it lets you convert your scribbling into an emoji not just letters and now the same feature is available on Android wear so for instance you can doodle a heart or a smiley face to quickly answer a message with their respective emoji pretty sweet and for those times when you can't use two hands but you still need to go through your Google now cards a new wrist twist gesture will let you do just that now the Samsung Galaxy s6 versus the iPhone 6 battle rages on and we found a result about which device is perhaps the best gaming device and the results are not going to be what you think there's no denying that the Samsung Galaxy s6 and the Apple iPhone 6 are two of the best smartphones on the market right now not only when it comes to aesthetics but also performance Samsung's Exynos 7420 processor backed by three gigabytes of RAM definitely gives apples a8 processor with 1 gigabyte of RAM a run for its money but when it comes to gaming which device comes out on top the folks over at gain bench put the Galaxy s6 in the iPhone 6 to the test to find out which device is the better gaming smartphone the game bench team picked a series of 10 high-end games to run on each device in the hopes to find out which smartphone would run the smoothest while achieving the highest average frame rate as you can see from the graphic here Apple's iPhone 6 was the clear winner in this test when it came to performance and overall stability game bench explains the iPhone 6 tended to run games more smoothly with a higher frame rate that was very stable and rarely dropped below 30 frames per second the galaxy s6 came a pretty close second with a greater frequency of performance bottlenecks that pushed the frame rate below the 30 frames per second threshold hmm that burns a little bit maybe that's where this came from thanks for watching android army my name is Jase love to connect with you right here on
