According to the latest data from market research firm Kantar Worldpanel, Google's Android has continued to extend its domination during the smartphone market in the three months ending April 2016. After observing smartphone sales during the time period, the industry watchers believe that Android has held a 76% share of the global smartphone market.

Its 5-inch IPS display runs at a 720 x 1280px resolution, while the back of the phone is graced with a fingerprint scanner – a particularly nice treat for budget-minded users. The $105 Redmi 3S features a metal body. Inside the dual-SIM handset, a Snapdragon 430 processor ticks with eight CPU cores, one pair clocked to 1.1GHz and the other at 1.4GHz. The base model sees Qualcomm's chip paired with 2GB of

   Last month,  Pebble introduced its latest smartwatch designs  as it began the crowdfunding effort for the Pebble 2 and Pebble Time 2. Neither strayed too far from what worked for their predecessors, while delivering upgrades like faster processors, a larger screen, stylish new looks, and heart-rate monitoring hardware. And while that was all well and good, we could understand how the news could be a bit of a letdown for fans of  Pebble's circular-screened Pebble Time Round ; where was their new model? While Pebble's still not ready to reinvent that hardware for a full-on Pebble Time Round 2, today we do get word of a couple new finish options that are on their way, as Pebble reveals new shiny metallic polished gold and polished silver colors. As you may be aware, the Pebble Time Round has already been available in both silver and rose gold colors. The difference here is that these new polished options add some extra shine to their looks, and we pick up a classic ye
