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 […]

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 […]

After numerous teases, leaks, and deleted Twitter polls, the OnePlus 6 is official. OnePlus has made a number of significant changes that its fans might not love, but the OnePlus 6 is very 2018. This device sports a screen notch, which is all the rage among smartphone OEMs. There’s also an all-glass chassis, which OnePlus […]

Wear OS users in Poland and Russia are now able to use Google Pay on compatible watches, bringing the number of countries with Wear OS/Google Pay capability to seven: those two plus the US, UK, Spain, Australia, and Canada. With both Poland and Russia having a healthy number of financial institutions supported by Google Pay, this […]
