Blackberry Priv Receives Security Update

Blackberry is rolling out an update to its Blackberry Priv Smartphone. As per the company the update focuses more on the security issues and it has updated Linux kernel with some security patches.

Blackberry stated about update in a offical blog post and said:

This advisory addresses an industry-wide elevation of privilege vulnerability that is not currently being exploited against, but affects, BlackBerry® PRIV smartphones. BlackBerry customer risk is limited by the inability of a potential attacker to force exploitation of the vulnerability without customer interaction. Successful exploitation requires an attacker craft a malicious application (app) and that a user install the malicious app. If the requirements are met for exploitation, an attacker could potentially gain locally elevated privileges. After installing the recommended software update, affected customers will be fully protected from this vulnerability.

If you guys have received the update then share any changes that you met via comments form below. Also if you didn’t received it then wait or manually check by heading to the Settings menu and then update to check the update.

Comparison: iPhone SE Vs Galaxy S7 Mini

As we all know, yesterday, Apple announced its new iPhone better known as iPhone SE. It is a smaller variant of iPhone 6 but at smaller size i.e 4 inches.

Well, on the other hand we are placing Galaxy S7 Mini which is upcoming device from Samsung. It is smaller variant of Samsung’s flagship, Galaxy S7. Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S7 Mini in some upcoming months.

Let’s start with

Display and Design:

Samsung Galaxy S7 is expected to come with 4.6 inch display 720p display. On the other hand Apple is packed with 4 inch display. Other specs of the Galaxy S7 Mini is not known while Apple iPhone SE is having resolution of 1136*640.

Hardware and Processor:

S7 will feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 chipset or Samsung’s Exynos 8890 chip. Meanwhile, the iPhone SE has an impressive A9 processor. According to Forbes, the Snapdragon and Exynos are quad-core design. Snapdragon has a 2.2 gigahertz clock speed. Apple’s A9 runs at 1.85 Ghz. However, Forbes reported that the differences between the two chips are essentially minor.

Camera:

The iPhone is famous for having a great camera, but in the last year Android devices have really caught up. The iPhone SE has a 12MP shooter, the same size as the Galaxy S7 Mini’s camera. We’re sure photos from the iPhone SE will look great, but the Galaxy S7 is also expected to have a better camera.

Battery and other:

The battery is a measly 1642 mAh, RAM is only 1GB, and they are still selling a 16GB model. So we expect some less retention of battery juice as compared to Galaxy S7 Mini. So we think Galaxy S7 Mini will retain battery for much more time.

iPhone SE is priced at $399 for starting model and we expect the Galaxy S7 Mini at similar price but its higher variant.

Other things are upto you. Share your views via comments below or which one do you like.
