Google software and services are inevitably works in progress. Whether we’re talking Gmail or Assistant, we’re constantly seeing features introduced, interfaces tweaked, and products merged together or split off on their own. Earlier this year, Google turned its attention to a big overhaul of its premium YouTube offerings, including a new positioning for YouTube Music […]

There was a time not that many years ago when Sony was trusted implicitly by consumers all over the world. You knew if you bought a Sony product, you were getting the best, and people were willing to pay more for that peace of mind. However, Sony has struggled to find its place in today’s […]

The Android Wear market isn’t what it once was, but one of the few manufacturers that has stuck around is Huawei. The Huawei Watch 2 Sport and Classic didn’t wow us as much as the original Huatch, but given the price drops BH is offering, they might be worth another look. The Sport is offered […]

2016’s LG V20 was basically the last flagship to ship with a removable battery, so it’s no surprise that plenty of people are still using it. Its Android 8.0 Oreo update started rolling out in South Korea last week, and it’s now hitting the Sprint model here in the states. The last time we heard […]

On that note, an OTA for the OnePlus 5 and 5T is currently in […]

Samsung Health initially debuted as ‘S Health’ on the Galaxy S3. It was initially only available on Samsung’s Galaxy Apps store, but became available to all Android 4.4 KitKat+ devices in 2015. It’s now hit a whopping 500 million downloads on the Play Store. As you might have guessed from its name, Samsung Health is […]

The frequently-leaked Galaxy Tab S4 was finally announced a couple of hours ago, but that’s not the only tablet Samsung took the wraps off of today. The more budget-oriented Galaxy Tab A line now has a 10.5″ variant, making it a Tab S4 lookalike for (presumably) a lot less money. When compared to the Tab […]

There’s no denying that the Android tablet market is dwindling as years pass by. What was once a flourishing segment filled with options on every end of the price and specs spectrum now essentially holds two distinct categories: the cheap Amazon Fire tablets and the more expensive Samsung / Huawei tablets. Even those companies’ releases […]

Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab S4 this morning, a new 10.5″ Android-powered tablet that seeks, first and foremost, to be seen as a laptop replacement (at a cost of another $150 for the keyboard dock).
