Participating in the latest betas is always a fun, but not risk-free endeavor. You get to try out things before anyone else and observe how a software evolves before it’s released to the public. Android Q’s gestures, for example, have seen several iterations across beta versions and now the most recent gestures are making their […]

Essential might not have a new phone to sell you, but it does have a free OTA update today.

We’ve been tracking developments with Motorola’s Android One phones in the pipeline.

Klipsch has been making high-end audio gear for more than 70 years. With the better part of a century’s worth of audio expertise informing their design, the company’s T5 true wireless earbuds have a lot to live up to — and while they lack some of the frills I’ve come to expect in premium earbuds, […]

It’s only been a few months since Samsung launched the Galaxy Watch Active, but it’s time for a new and improved version of that wearable. The predictably named Galaxy Watch Active2 is now official, but you won’t be able to pre-order for another month. It’s got the compact form factor of the Watch Active, but […]

Since yesterday’s launch of Gundam Battle: Gunpla Warfare is the first foray for the series on mobile, I thought it might be a good idea to go hands-on with the title so that everyone will know what to expect. It’s a free-to-play collection game that revolves around the building of plastic models called Gunpla. It […]

Google’s recommended articles already exist in the Google app, the far left page of most app launchers, the New Tab page in Chrome for Android, and on the mobile google.com homepage.

In the world of activity trackers, nothing comes close to the Mi Band’s value. Cheaper than any Garmin or Fitbit tracker, even the most basic vivofit4 and Inspire, but still packing enough functionality, it also benefits from Xiaomi’s name recognition and is considered a serious choice, not a cheap knock-off no-name tracker.
