You know that a messaging app is really becoming competitive when the updates just keep on coming. And while the market is dominated by Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, LINE, etc, Skype isn’t giving up anytime soon. We’ve been seeing a lot of updates from the Microsoft-owned messaging app for the past months, sometimes biweekly, and now, they’re bringing version 6.11 to Android users, making managing conversations and sharing special moments easier.

With the new version of the app, you will now find it easier to manage the conversations you’re having, especially if you have a lot going on. Just long press the conversation, and a toolbar will come up with options to delete, mute notifications or mark as read. This makes it easier to either let go of the ones you don’t need, silence the ones that are too active for your peace of mind, or just remove that annoying unread counter on your app. Skype also now allows you to save video messages so that you can keep the important ones that are worth saving.

When it comes to sharing pictures and videos, you can now directly share from your photo gallery onto an ongoing Skype conversation. If you want to share something from your group to another group, you also now have an option to do so. Even Mojis can now be shared with a contact or even without a group. It will not play automatically but just play when you tap it. Search is also now enhanced, as words from your conversations will now be included in the search result as well.

You can update your Skype for Android app now if the rollout has reached you already. If you haven’t succumbed to Skype yet, maybe now is the time to do so. You can download it from the Google Play Station for free of course.

Stagelight is one great app that will help musicians make new music. Some musicians may argue that you don’t need apps to create your own music but in this digital age, it is important that people take advantage of technology. The app makes it possible for everyone to composes good music even when instruments are not available.

This Stagelight lets you unlock more capabilities as you progress and continue to use the app. From being an avid music listener or an audiophile, you can create your own beautiful music and be able to unlock more features and actions. There are in-app lessons included  as well so you’ll understand some stuff about music and composition like a pro.

President and CEO of Open Labs Cliff Mountain is proud of this program. He said, “Stagelight is the first music creation app that allows people to start for free and unlock capabilities as they progress”. The dev team expanded to Android because as Mountain said, they “want to ‘Free The Music’ in everyone”.

The latest Stagelight app has been enhanced to fit all screen sizes. As for mobile expansion, you can now begin a new project on one device, continue on another device, and then finish on another one. The standard Stagelight features can also be enjoyed like unlimited audio playback and recording, social sharing, in-app lessons, built-in instruments like an on-screen piano or a drum machine.

If you can’t wait for other features to be unlocked, you can just search on the in-app store for advanced access. On Stagelight’s in-app store, you can also browse and buy artist bundles or professional loops among others. Download is free but in-app items are offered.

If you may remember, OpenLabs also offered the music creation software free for XDA members last July. That and this Stagelight is actually one and the same.

Download Stagelight from the Google Play Store or get the APK online.

We were just talking about Samsung’s new midrangers for 2016 in the updated Samsung Galaxy A5, A7 and A8. It’s early days, but the rumor mill is full of new information for us. We start with this image from the AnTuTu benchmark database – purportedly of the Samsung Galaxy A7. Dig in.

First up, early rumors were that the updated version of the Samsung Galaxy A7 will run with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 instead of an Exynos one, but this image shows the A7 with an Exynos 7580 chipset, supported by a Mali-T720 graphics chip. It doesn’t rule out the possibility of a Galaxy A7 variant with a SD615 inside, as Samsung has been known to mix it up with chipsets before.

Also, all signs point to the updated Galaxy A7 featuring a generous 3GB of RAM, as most new phones are wont to do these days. Gone are the 512MB and 1GB models, and good riddance, if we may say so. The AnTuTu image also confirms the 13MP/5MP camera combo and the 16GB internal storage which has been rumored. At least they got that part right.

The Samsung Galaxy A7 tested here gives around 37,500 AnTuTu benchmark points – potentially putting it squarely above the older A7, which gives around 32,000 points. It may perform right around the older Galaxy J7, give or take 1,000 benchmark points. One could actually wonder if the SD615 will give better performance than this Exynos chipset. We’ll know pretty soon.
