You'll get a Gear VR with a pre-order of a Galaxy S7/Edge, apparently.

As if the phone itself is not a draw magnet enough, Samsung seems to make it even more tempting for those planning on pre-ordering the coming Galaxy S7.

Get this, reported by Android World, Samsung is apparently offering a free Gear VR for those that pre-orders the phone within the first couple of weeks.

This has also been given the green light by famous leaker Evan Blass, who tweeted the link as true.

Virtual Reality (VR) is gaining speed day by day. With more manufacturer investing in this sector, it would be a surprise if this is going to be a big thing in the future.

Pre-orders are scheduled to open on February 21, 2016, the day of the launch itself.

If this is true, it would certainly be the final push needed for those on the edge of buying the S7. I know, cause I’m one of them J

Avast Mobile Security: you have to download this FREE anti-virus

With performance rivalling laptops now, it's no wonder hackers are targeting viruses for smartphones.

These virus-makers usually go for the platform with the most users and seeing that the smartphone user base is the one growing the fastest and is the biggest, this makes it a prime target.

For iOS there's usually not much threat as the OS is built tightly with high emphasis on security (for non-jailbroken iPhones). The reverse could be said for Android. Android is known for its open system that allows programmers to express their creativity, but this is also a double-edged sword as it also exposes their OS.

And the number of viruses for Android is higher, thus it's highly recommended for you to download an anti-virus from the Google Play Store (or other certified third party app store, such as the Amazon Appstore).

The next question would then be which anti-virus? There's paid ones but are those worth the money? Lately Avast has given a solution to that question as they have made their paid Anti-virus free! Yes all off the previously paid features are now free.

Before this you had to pay $2 a month or $20 a year for all the additional features. Not anymore. Features such as Privacy Advisor and App lock is given free.

Avast is also known to be an anti-virus with one of the best performance. Here's a review on it. Do download this one if you don't have an anti-virus installed on your android device. it's free anyway.

Whatsapp is now free, forever! *Yay!!

In a surprise move, Whatsapp has remove its annual fee of $0.99 making the messaging service free for all on all mediums.

Speaking on the matter, the company post on its blog citing "For many years, we've asked some people to pay a fee for using WhatsApp after their first year. As we've grown, we've found that this approach hasn't worked well. " One of the reason that they mention it's not working well is that most of the users don't even have a credit or a debit card.

You're probably be thinking Oh no, it's only a matter of time before I start seeing advertisements on my Whatsapp because what then would Whatsapp do for revenue? On that matter they said that they would look into tools that would allow us to use Whatsapp to communicate with businesses and organizations that we want to hear from, for example from our banks regarding any transactions or even airlines on our fligh itinerary. Whatsapp might be charging them to use Whatsapp instead of your standard SMS (this move should reduce cost for them).

For those that have already paid, there is no citation on possible refund being made but hey we're only talking about $0.99 cents (used to be around RM3, current new rate should be around RM4~5 if they follow the currency exchange in our country).

This change comes timely as now nearly a billion people are using Whatsapp, and making it free would only help boost it userbase and cement its place as the leading mobile messaging platform. (and maybe one day kill the SMS forever)
