Samsung has stood firm against the trend of removing headphone jacks from smartphones, but it might be on the verge of ditching some other important pieces of its next flagship device. Rumors point to the Galaxy Note 10 as one of Samsung’s first buttonless phones with no physical volume or power buttons. One potential upside: […]

Google’s paintbrushes for its Pixel phones have generally been black, white and something else. The first time around, it was one flavor of blue. The second go? Another sort of blue.

Most phones that aren’t Pixels are lucky to get one or two major updates. OnePlus has managed to offer better update support for its phones in spite of the lower prices.
