Around the middle of last month, 9to5Google spotted that Google Voice was picking up up a toggle to strip caller ID on outgoing calls — à la *67, but without having to dial it every single time. The new feature rolled out to the iOS version of Google Voice last month, and now it’s here […]

I reviewed the Galaxy S10+, and I had a lot of positive things to say about it. Epic battery life, an outstanding display, and performance that blew away almost anything coming out of 2018 set a new bar for smartphones this year, and I still think all that’s true. But it’s a phone with drawbacks: […]

Gigantic tablets are rare in the Android world, but there have been a few — Samsung’s 18.4-inch Galaxy View comes to mind. If you want a tablet the average size of a desktop computer monitor, Archos has you covered with its new ‘Play Tab.’ The Play Tab will have a 21.5-inch “full HD” display, an […]

Update 1: 2019/03/23 9:56pm PDT If you want a smartwatch, and Google’s Wear OS isn’t appealing to you, Samsung’s Tizen watches are the next-best thing you can use with Android phones.

You can grab the best Android TV box around and get a SmartThings Link for free, basically. You have to buy the Smart Home bundle, obviously. We’ve sung […]

After a period of what seemed like smartphone stagnation, we’re finally seeing some weird devices again. With edge-to-edge screens, hole-punch cameras, and displays that fold in half being high-end oddities, Sony saw fit to shake up the budget formula, too, and plopped ultra-tall 21:9 displays in its Xperia 10 and 10 Plus. And while I […]

Asus has already rolled out Pie to a few of its phones, but the vast majority are still stuck on Android 8.0 Oreo (or older). Three phones were expected to get Pie soon — the Zenfone Max Pro M1, Max Pro M2, and Max M2 — but now have to wait a bit longer. On […]

Software updates are always a fun time for us geeks. We like diving deep into the changes, checking what’s new, what’s improved, and what’s been taken away from us and is worth complaining about. If you have a Nokia 5.1, you can warm up your hands and get ready for a few days of tinkering, […]
