A few months ago, Godfrey Nolan wrote an excellent article discussing how an Android app developer can store user passwords and sensitive/personal information. The Android keystore provides a secure system level credential storage. With the keystore, an app can create a new Private/Public key pair, and use this to encrypt application secrets before saving it in the private storage folders.

iPhone 12 Mini? Why isn't there a Samsung Galaxy S20e?

Fast forward to this past Tuesday. That was when we saw Apple launch the iPhone 12 series, which included the first-of-its-kind iPhone 12 Mini. During the launch, Apple summed up the phone succinctly: “With its compact size, the iPhone 12 Mini has the exact same features as iPhone 12. You’re just choosing between two great sizes.” I’m sure many people watching that live stream were already taking out their wallets when Kaiann Drance finished that second sentence.

Android repair mode: Why we need it, what it should do

Eric Zeman / Android Authority Having to send a broken phone for repair is already a stressful experience. You find yourself without your primary means of communication, you’re hoping it’ll be quickly fixed without any blunders or extra costs, and you’re relying on a shipping carrier to not lose it or delay its delivery. But there’s also the slightly “icky” feeling of knowing one of your most private possessions is now in the hands of someone else.

How to spot a fake Samsung Galaxy S4

With Samsung still holding on to its place at the very top of the world smartphone market, there is no shortage of China-made clones of its most popular handsets — namely, the Galaxy S3 and its current flaship, the Galaxy S4. Unlike the imitation phones of many years ago, the ones that you can purchase now look very similar to the models that they are based on. And not only that, but in some cases, clones can even surpass the original in terms of features (which is quite confusing).
