Last year, we brought you word of the Galaxy View 2, the successor to 2015’s 18-inch monstrosity of a tablet, the Galaxy View. In a set of leaked renders obtained by SamMobile, we now get a glimpse at this “slimmed-down” sequel. Going by the renders, the Galaxy View 2 ditches the integrated handle of its […]

With OnePlus, it’s easy to get caught up in the Open Beta program, since that’s where new features drop first. But in all that excitement and hype, it seems that the stable branch is often left to languish, which some people are quick to point out. Starting today, however, both the OnePlus 6 and 6T […]

There’s a lot to like about the Nokia 9 PureView: it’s got a unique camera setup, its construction feels high-end, and it’s generally a solid performer. The in-display fingerprint scanner, though, just doesn’t work as well as it should. Or at least it hasn’t up until now — Nokia is pushing an update that’s meant […]

In an era where most smartphones all look and function mostly the same, it’s always a shame to see more interesting designs fall flat. Russian-based phone manufacturer Yota, best known for its line of Yota Phone devices with rear e-ink screens, has declared bankruptcy and all its assets will be liquidated. As a report from […]

On any given day, there are at least a dozen variations of the Play Store interface showing up for users across the world. Even on the same device, with the same account, and without any update, the Store might flip from one look to the other in a few seconds without warning. Most recently, simultaneous […]

Google was among the first companies to embrace wireless charging in the days of plastic flagship phones, but it ditched the feature when metal became trendy. Now that the Pixel 3 and 3XL are glass, wireless charging is in again. Google even unveiled its own fancy wireless charger alongside the 2018 Pixels. However, those phones […]

Google wowed everyone when it unveiled Night Sight photos alongside the Pixel 3. Many OEMs have since tried to replicate Google’s witchcraft, but none have been able to match it. Samsung is the latest to try with an OTA on the Galaxy S10. You probably don’t have the update yet, but it’s coming. Samsung’s “Night” […]

The day has finally come. Rejoice, OnePlus 3/3T owners, for Pie is now available for your phone via a Community Beta. OnePlus is asking for feedback and help getting this ready for the prime time (aka stable branch), which means that you can download and install it on your device right now and try it […]

Even though truly wireless ones are all the rage these days, traditional Bluetooth earphones are still an excellent choice if you need something small and convenient. Tonight, we have a deal for you over on Amazon where you can get a pair of Aukey’s B60 earbuds for $44.99 or B80 for $52.49, a savings of […]

A new version of the Google Home app is rolling out, but there aren’t any visible changes making their way out with this one. Instead, this update seems to be focused mostly on adding initial support for some new hardware, including something that sounds like a smart home hub called Zion, and a security device […]

Batteries, by design, shouldn’t be an exciting subject. When we’re talking about the brick you connect to a thousand-dollar smartphone which holds tremendous quantities of literally explosive chemical power, “exciting” isn’t usually a word you want to hear. So I won’t call Zendure’s new SuperTank battery exciting, even though it can spit a massive 100W […]

Amazfit’s popular, inexpensive, and fitness-focused Verge smartwatch now offers Alexa integration for voice commands. Whether you want a quick news briefing, the weather forecast, what’s on your calendar, or to turn on the lights, all you need to do is just talk to your watch. Here’s a list of possibilities thanks to this integration: Besides […]
