Update 1: 2018/05/17 1:57pm PDT It’s that time of the year again. The days are getting longer, new hardware is being released, and Google has revealed the next version of Android. As of the March 7th release of the developer preview, we’ve worked our way down Alphabet’s alphabet all the way to “P.” We still don’t […]

Android P is the latest iteration of Google’s mobile operating system, and it’s been available to test as a Developer Preview on the company’s Pixel phones for about a month now. I flashed the preview on my Pixel 2 XL a few weeks ago and have been using the phone as my daily driver since. […]

Samsung has announced an update for its Gear Fit2 and Gear Fit2 Pro smartwatches. The new features are designed to improve the display of data on the devices. New functions are also included, such as Weight Management and Fitness Program, previously only available on the Gear Sport. By connecting your Gear Fit2 to the Samsung Health […]

Posting social media updates is so yesterday. Stories are all the rage now with big players like Snapchat and Instagram racking up many millions of Stories each day. Now, Facebook’s version of stories has hit a big user milestone—150 million daily users. Being Facebook, that means it’s time to start pushing ads. In case you’re unaware, […]

After years of testing its ‘GRID’ game streaming technology, Nvidia unveiled GeForce Now in 2015. It allows owners of Nvidia’s game consoles to stream various PC games, as long as they had a low-latency connection. To make up for the server costs, GeForce Now has been a paid service – $7.99 a month. Starting today, […]

Last year, mobile accessory company Anker released its first portable projector, the Nebula Mars. It was roughly the size of a lunch box, with powerful JBL speakers, great video quality, and Android built-in. The hardware was great, but the ancient version of Android (4.4.4, to be precise), lack of Play Store support, and high price […]

I reviewed the Fitbit Ionic when it launched late last year, and at the time I didn’t much care for it. I was not into the design, and there were multiple software issues. I’ve continued to wear the watch on and off since then, and I spent about a week with the Fitbit Versa just recently. […]

At Mobile World Congress, LG announced a new version of the V30 called the V30S ThinQ, but it wasn’t actually new. There were no hardware changes to enable the AI camera features (just more storage and RAM), so there was nothing stopping LG from rolling them out in an update. It did so in Korea last […]

It feels like years have passed, but it was only a little more than a year ago when the hottest topic (and joke) on the block was Samsung and its Note 7’s propensity to spontaneously go up in flames. But the Note being the Note meant that despite many a recall program, several updates supposed […]

Back at CES 2018, Google made a huge splash by announcing Assistant support on every gadget and electronic imaginable. Sony was on the list, but the company did one better than many of its competitors: beside launching new headphones and headsets with Assistant, it promised an update for some of its existing products that would […]

As much as I love The Office’s intro, it does slow down marathons a bit. Netflix introduced the ability to skip TV intros last year, but the feature didn’t work while using a Chromecast or similar device. Thankfully, that has finally been fixed, so you can save precious seconds on your next BoJack Horseman marathon. […]

It has been exactly one year and a day since the HTC U11 was unveiled, marking the beginning of the company’s ‘Liquid Metal’ design language. Plenty has happened since then; Google purchased a large chunk of HTC’s hardware team, and both the U11 Life and U11+ have been released. The U12/U12+ name has cropped up […]
