Deal: Unlocked Moto X4 with Android One drops to just $150 at B&H

One of the cheapest Motorola smartphones that you can find these days in the United States, the Moto X4 is on sale once again. Unlike some of the previous deals, this one doesn't require customers to commit to a long-term contract. Moreover, both 32GB and 64GB models are on sale, but they have slightly different discounts.

B&H now sells the Moto X4 with 32GB for just $150, and the 64GB model for $200. Both discounts are offered via the “Clip Coupon” button, which you need to click in order to enjoy the instant savings. Of course, don't forget to add the item to your card after you click ...

Deal: Grab an Apple Watch Series 2 for just $150 at Woot (refurbished)

It's true that the Apple Watch Series 2 was launched back in 2016, but if the opportunity arises and the price is good, we're quite certain that Apple fans would buy one even after all this time. Now, when the second-generation Apple Watch made its debut on the market, it was selling for around $370 outright, but it would be foolish to spend so much money on such an old wearable device these days.

The real question is how much would you be willing to spend for an Apple Watch Series 2, in case you're considering one. Well, we're here to present you with some options, like the one offered ...

Some T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S10 models are already sold out, Prism White is a coveted color

Just a couple of days ago, we noticed that not all of Samsung's Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ smartphone variants would be ready to ship on March 8 - the new phone series' official release date. Today, we're seeing that select S10 models are already sold out on Samsung's website and can't be pre-ordered. More exactly, three T-Mobile Galaxy S10 variants are now out of stock, a mere week after pre-orders went live. 

The T-Mobile smartphones that are currently sold out are the Galaxy S10 128 GB Prism White, Galaxy S10+ 128 GB Prism White, and Galaxy S10+ 128 GB Prism ...

Google Pixel Slate ads show the tablet is business in the front and party in the back



Last October, Google introduced its new Google Pixel Slate tablet. Running on Chrome OS, there are four different models with processors ranging from an Intel Celeron to the 8th Generation Intel Core i7. Pricing starts at $599 and up. To promote the Pixel Slate, Google has released two thirty second ads that show the device being used for both work and play.

The first ...

Two Huawei units plead not guilty to U.S. criminal charges

Back in January, the U.S. Justice Department indicted Huawei for allegedly stealing T-Mobile trade secrets between 2012-2014. This technology dealt with the carrier's "Tappy" robot that was used to test smartphones. Today, the Justice Department announced that Huawei Device Co. Ltd. and Huawei Device USA Inc. have pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Huawei, which is considered a national security threat in the U.S., was sued civilly by T-Mobile in 2014. T-Mobile said a Huawei employee was recorded by a security camera disassembling one of the robot's arms and slipping ...

T-Mobile promotion is a Grand Slam for the carrier's subscribers

Now that Bryce Harper has signed with the Philadelphia Phillies (13-years, $330 million), it is time for baseball fans everywhere to get ready for the 2019 season. And for T-Mobile subscribers, that means taking advantage of a free subscription to MLB.TV being offered by the carrier. The full season subscription, which would normally cost $118.99, begins on March 26th according to T-Mobile's website.

T-Mobile subscribers can access the offer through the T-Mobile Tuesdays app. With the MLB.TV subscription, the carrier's customers will be able to stream from their phone, ...

Yes, the Sony Xperia 10 and 10 Plus up for pre-order now will work on Verizon

Sony kept things awfully vague in terms of the prices and availability of the company's newest "super mid-range" smartphones initially, but shortly after the Xperia 10 and 10 Plus were unveiled at the MWC 2019 trade show in Barcelona, the smaller variant went up for pre-order stateside. Unsurprisingly, the larger model followed suit, and now both of them are available across a number of authorized retailers in unlocked versions priced at $350 and $430 respectively.

What's perhaps more exciting is that any confusion surrounding the US carriers offering support for the Sony Xperia ...

AirPods product lifecycle reportedly ends in March, paving the way for AirPods 2

On March 25, Apple will reportedly hold a services-focused event. But if rumors are to be believed, some hardware products could be announced too. Now, it seems likely new AirPods will be among these.

According to Spanish website AppleSfera, a number of its industry sources have confirmed that Apple has plans to announce a new pair of AirPods on March 25. This will be followed just days later by a release on Friday, March 29.

To further back this information up, another supplier (who requested anonymity) claims to have connections with various Asian suppliers that are familiar ...

Facebook adds new feature that lets you share events in Stories

Facebook announced earlier today that it's bringing a new feature to users that will allow them to share events in Stories. The new feature was initially tested last month in the United States, Mexico and Brazil, but the ability to share events is now being rolled out globally, not just in those countries.

If you're a dedicated Facebook user and want to try out the new feature, here is what you have to do. First off, you'll have to head to an event page where you should see a new “Share” option under the date and time of the event.

Tap on the Share button and then choose the “Share ...

Deal: LG G7 ThinQ gets a massive 45% discount at B&H

LG's marketing campaign for its new flagships, the V50 and G8, is in full swing, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't keep our eyes on the company's previous generation of top-tier phones. The V40 and G7 are still great phones, but they're probably not worth the full price considering the new devices cost about the same.

Take the LG G7 ThinQ for example, a flagship that still sells for $750 in many places in the United States. Of course, you can find it cheaper at some of the major retailers across the country, so the main question is when to get one.

Well, we can definitely say that ...

Fantastic story reveals a 2003 deal that would have completely changed today's smartphone industry

The whole smartphone market would look differently today had Motorola and Huawei followed through on a deal that was agreed to by both parties back in 2003. A letter of intent signed by both companies late in 2003 called for the acquisition of Huawei by Motorola for $7.5 billion. This amazing story was published today in The Financial Times, and includes a photo of then Motorola Chief Operating Officer Mike Zafirovski, and the head of the firm's Chinese business, Larry Cheng, walking on a beach in China with Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei. Ren was just 49 when the photo was snapped.

This ...

Huawei P30 Pro hands-on images provide close look at rear cameras

Just 24 hours after the Huawei P30 Pro leaked out alongside its smaller sibling in a set of official press renders, the upcoming flagship smartphone has been pictured yet again, although this time in a set of hands-on photos.
A Whopping Four Rear Cameras
Coinciding with the design shown off yesterday, the Huawei P30 Pro features a glass construction and a rather large camera setup situated in the top-left corner.
From the look of things, the primary sensor will be the one situated towards the very top. Details about this camera are scarce at the moment but a previous ...

Which Samsung Galaxy S10 color do you like best?

Available for pre-order in the US since last week, the Samsung Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+ come in a variety of colors in an attempt to appease all (or at least a large proportion of) tastes. The three new smartphones have four common color variants, while two additional colors are reserved for the most expensive Galaxy S10+ configurations (with 512 GB and 1 TB of storage space, costing $1,249 and $1,599, respectively).

The four common colors that the S10e, S10, and S10+ have are Prism White, Prism Black, Prism Blue, and Flamingo Pink, all corresponding ...

Foldable iPhone patent shows how Apple might prevent display damage

The iPhone XS Max

On paper, foldable smartphones seem like the perfect idea – they grant consumers access to large displays that can be folded up into pocketable sizes. But in reality, their designs do come with quite a few challenges.

One of the hardest ones to overcome is preventing damage to displays after being repeatedly folded and unfolded, especially when it's cold. Apple, however, appears to have a solution to this despite not yet releasing a foldable device.

Detailed in a newly-published patent, the Cupertino giant ...

Motorola Moto G7 launches in the US (earlier than expected) as a great budget phone

Earlier this month, when Motorola opened pre-orders for its new Moto G7 smartphone, it said that the device would be released on March 7. Surprisingly, though, today we received an email from the company announcing us that the phone is actually available to buy right now. At the moment, the Moto G7 is in stock only at Motorola's official website - HERE - and you can get it in either Ceramic Black or Ceramic White (these are nothing more than fancy color names, there's no ceramic used in building the device).

The Motorola Moto G7 costs $299.99, free shipping (within ...

Now that the Galaxy S10 is here, do you like its hole-in-display design?

Ever since the Galaxy S9 managed to crack the 80% screen-to-body ratio barrier without a notch, we've had phones that are pushing even higher. Manufacturers went as far as adding a second screen, sliding design, or piercing a hole directly into the screens, all for the sake of leaving us with as much display at the front as possible. 

Of those, the hole-in-display design is the most novel approach and not everyone's cup of tea. In fact, it's only Samsung that has managed to apply it to the OLED screen technology in the new Galaxy S10 family, and with seemingly good results.

Samsung ...

Are reviewers misjudging cheaper smartphones due to their constant exposure to flagships?

Humans are fascinating creatures. We can not only adapt to live in all sorts of rough environmental conditions, but our minds can adjust to even the strongest stimuli, both positive and negative, over time. While all that is great for survivability, it can also make it harder for humans to judge objectively, because context highly distorts the way we perceive things.

We've all seen the optical illusion where two checkerboard squares appear to be of different shades because of the setting – when in fact they're the exact same color. Sadly, in real life, the context that is misleading us is ...

Huawei's CEO believes the Galaxy Fold's design isn't "good"

The Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X represent two very different takes on the foldable smartphone concept. But the CEO of Huawei’s mobile business, Richard Yu, believes the design of its offering is superior.

In a recent interview with Business Insider, the CEO admitted that the original Huawei Mate X prototype offered a design not too dissimilar to that of the Galaxy Fold. Eventually, however, this design was scrapped because it was “not good” – Richard Yu believes having a dual-screen setup “makes the phone too heavy.”

At one point, Huawei had three foldable projects ...

False alarm: Apple Music support for Google Home devices not happening... yet

Just a few short months ago, any rumors, suggestions or hints of official Apple Music support being provided to Google Home users would have probably been deemed too far-fetched to take seriously. But now that the world's second most popular music streaming service works on Amazon's market-leading Echo devices, a similar partnership between Google and Apple seems pretty much inevitable.

Unfortunately, that's not happening yet, as the Apple Music appearance in the Google Home iOS app earlier this week is being blamed on an innocent software bug. Apparently, the app iPhone owners ...

Galaxy A50 and A30: Samsung's new mid-rangers look good!

Samsung's more affordable phones don't quite get the publicity of the flagship Galaxy and Note lineups, but this doesn't mean that you should scoff at the company's mid-rangers. This is wholly true for the brand new Galaxy A30 and A50 phones: both launched at MWC'19 and were quickly drowned in the informational torrent pertaining to the Galaxy S10 lineup.

Not for long, though, as we had the chance to play with the new Galaxies at Samsung's large MWC'19 booth in Barcelona, Spain. 

Design & hardwareFrom the get-go, it's pretty difficult to tell the two devices from one ...

Galaxy S10+ vs Pixel 3 vs iPhone XS: NIGHT camera comparison

Samsung's next big, the Galaxy S10+, is here. Well... at least for a few lucky journalists out there who got to use one a couple of weeks ahead of the official launch.

We were among those lucky few and one of the first things that we wanted to test in detail was the camera performance: the Galaxy S10+ is a big upgrade purely physically as it now features three cameras on its back, as well as two on the front for a total of 5 shooters.

On the back of the S10+, for the first time on a flagship Samsung phone, you can now find a new ultra-wide ...

Best Buy ups the Nokia 7.1 savings ante to a full $100 with AT&T activation

Hardcore fans of the spectacularly revived Nokia brand have only a few more days to wait for the US launch of that bonkers five-camera flagship with a surprisingly reasonable price point, but those looking to spend significantly less money on a substantially less impressive phone may want to hurry and pull the trigger over at Best Buy.

The mid-range Nokia 7.1, which was recently marked down from its $350 list price to $300 for the first time, is available even cheaper today... on one condition. You need to activate the handset on a new line of AT&T service upon purchasing ...

The Galaxy A10 is official as Samsung's latest budget offering

Samsung announced the Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50 at MWC 2019 earlier this week. Today, the South Korean brand is expanding its new Galaxy A series with the announcement of a new model – the Galaxy A10.
Large Infinity-V Display, 13-Megapixel Rear Camera
Like Samsung’s other budget models, the Galaxy A10 features an LCD Infinity-V display that includes a small notch above the display and a thick chin beneath. In this particular case, the panel boasts a diagonal of 6.2-inches and an HD+ (1520 x 720p) resolution.

Moving over to the Galaxy A10’s rear, the design Samsung has gone for is ...

Nokia 9 PureView arriving in the U.S. on March 3, it's $100 cheaper

Nokia 9 PureView was unveiled early this week alongside two affordable smartphones – Nokia 3.2 and Nokia 4.2. Finnish company HMD Global announced its new flagship, the Nokia 9 PureView will be available in the United States as well but didn't offer an exact release date.

Well, that's not the case any longer since HMD has just confirmed the Nokia 9 PureView will be available for purchase in the U.S. from March 3. But that's not the only good news. The flagship will be up for sale for a promotional price of just $600, $100 cheaper than the MSRP.

In case you're wondering from where ...

Death by smartphone - pedestrian mortality hits 30-year high


It's not just distracted driving behind smartphone usage incidents but pedestrians are getting mowed down at a record rate thanks partially at distracted walking, too. The overuse of handsets around traffic, paired with the rapid increase in SUV sales have raised pedestrian mortality to levels not seen since 1990, a new report says.

Last year, ...

Samsung enables Bixby key customization on older flagship phones - here's how it works

Almost two years in, Bixby is still not the most exciting or versatile virtual assistant available on Samsung phones. But the Galaxy S10 family announcement actually included arguably the greatest Bixby upgrade yet. Unfortunately for Samsung, by far the most requested feature since the early 2017 launch of the Galaxy S8 has been the ability to reprogram the dedicated side-mounted button on the company's flagship handsets from these past couple of years.

Fortunately, a compromise is being reached with the Galaxy S10 between the tech giant's natural desire to promote a service ...

Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 7 Pro is official: more powerful, more premium, still affordable

Xiaomi, the king of affordable smartphones, has just announced the Redmi Note 7 Pro, an upgraded version of the Redmi flagship. Just as promised, a month or so after the release of the Redmi Note 7, Xiaomi released the beefed-up version of the device.

However, there’s a reason we clarified that it’s only the flagship of the Redmi brand, which is the more budget oriented spinoff of Xiaomi, so don’t expect a Snapdragon 855 in this phone. But what should you expect? Let’s take a look!

Design
There haven’t been any significant design changes over the Note 7, but you’d be able to tell ...

Apple is cleaning up the App Store of some cloned VoIP titles, leaving others untouched

Apple is cracking down on yet another dubious practice employed by quite a few iOS app developers to unfairly gain visibility for their eerily similar software products. While this ploy is a lot less malevolent than a recently discovered method of distributing free pirated content exploiting a vulnerability of the company's developer enterprise program, it's still concerning to see how easy it can sometimes be to violate the App Store guidelines without even bothering to cover one's tracks.

In a nutshell, TechCrunch found a couple of days ago a bunch of clones in the App Store ...

After receiving Android 9 Pie, Razer Phone 2 gets a $300 discount for a limited time

If you've bought the Razer Phone 2, the last couple of weeks must have been a joyride, as the company announced and delivered the highly-anticipated Android 9 Pie update. But if you didn't, now would be a good time to consider buying one, since Razer announced that for a limited time customers will get a major discount.

Unfortunately, Razer doesn't say when the deal ends, but we do know when it starts: March 1. If you check Razer's online store right now, you'll most likely notice that the Razer Phone 2, while discounted, costs $650, just $150 off the list price.


Get a refurbished Garmin Vivosmart HR+ for $130 less than a new unit (warranty included)

Garmin still has a long way to go until it can be taken seriously as an Apple rival in the booming smartwatch market, but when it comes to low-cost activity trackers, the company is certainly a worthy opponent for Fitbit. If you're finding it difficult to choose between the new Garmin Vivosmart 4 and Fitbit Charge 3, another affordable fitness-centric wearable you may want to consider is the Garmin Vivosmart HR+.

This is quite old, having made its commercial debut way back in the summer of 2016, which is why retailers like Best Buy are no longer stocking it. But you can still ...

Nokia 9, Nokia 4.2 and Nokia 3.2 are the company's first phones to support face unlock

If we don't count the obsolete and totally unreliable Google Trusted Face, Nokia smartphones don't have any software that would enable the face unlock feature. Although HMD Global, the Finnish company behind the Nokia-branded smartphones, announced in the past that it will eventually bring such a feature to its products, we have yet to see it happen.

With its new trio of Android smartphones unveiled at Mobile World Congress early this week, HMD wants to make sure that customers are getting all the features they're expecting from a world-class brand like Nokia.

As such, HMD Global ...

Fret not, OnePlus 3 and 3T owners, your Android Pie update is still coming... eventually

OnePlus is certainly not the world's largest smartphone manufacturer (at least not yet), but that can often be an advantage, allowing the ambitious company to quickly free up resources for new devices as there are only a handful of old models to support at any given time. The small but fast-growing outfit can also pull off unusual feats sometimes as a consequence of its laser-focused product portfolio, like promising to deliver major software updates way beyond the traditional two-year mark for certain devices.

Such a promise was made for the OnePlus 3 and 3T roughly seven months ...

Apple delivered half of the world’s smartwatches in 2018, but lost 10% market share

This humble device managed to bite off a sizeable chunk of the Apple Watch market share

The advancements in technology have allowed smartwatches to have more powerful chips, bigger displays and better battery life. Naturally, all of those improvements made them more desirable for consumers and in 2018 the smartwatch market grew significantly.

We have a good idea about what transpired on the smartwatch market last year thanks to Strategy Analytics and their latest report. The report contains some expected results but also a couple of surprises, ...

Fun-size Galaxy S10 reader hints why finger scanning could be hit or miss (teardown)


One of the most interesting new features that come with Samsung's fresh-out-of-the-oven Galaxy S10 family is the presence of an in-display finger scanner biometry. It is a second generation one, arguably for the first time in a commercial phone, and is pretty good though not on the level of touch scanners that are not embedded in the screen judging by our time spent with them.

If ...

Fossil Sport drops below the $200 mark, hybrid smartwatches available for less than $100

When it comes to stylish wearable devices you don't have to sell a kidney to be able to afford, it's pretty hard to beat Fossil's extensive range of touchscreen and hybrid smartwatches. What's even better is that already inexpensive products like the Fossil Sport, Gen 4 Venture HR, and Gen 4 Explorist HR have been on sale multiple times lately, once again getting a cool 25 percent discount across the board right now.

Until March 3, you can use the "V4A0P1" promo code before checkout to shave 25 percent off your Fossil.com order. The markdown will be applied to ...

Xiaomi pushes back time frame for U.S. invasion by one year

At MWC the other day, Xiaomi unveiled its first 5G phone, the Mi Mix 5G, and the Mi 9 flagship. One thing that we didn't see from Xiaomi was a foldable phone. Truth be told, we might not have expected the company to reveal such a model had it not been for video we passed along last month showing a prototype of such a device. And it was Xiaomi co-founder and president Bin Lin who was handling the phone, which bends on both the top and bottom of the handset.

Xiaomi's global spokesman, Donovan Sung, spoke with Venture Beat and said that the company is testing a number ...

5G brings more than just faster download speeds says T-Mobile video



While T-Mobile recently delayed the launch of its 5G service, the bottom line is that sometime this year all four major U.S. carriers will be offering mobile 5G. And T-Mobile today released a video about 5G that stars theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku, who compares the coming 5G revolution to another invention that changed the world, the printing press.

The ...

Producers of major smartphone part expect to benefit greatly from foldable phones

The new foldable form factor for smartphones is going to make certain companies happy. For example, in Taiwan, printed circuit board makers (PCB) are expecting to see their business pick up thanks to the new phones that fold open into tablets. Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Fold, and Huawei has introduced the Mate X. The latter opens outwards while the former opens inwards. The Samsung device will launch on April 26th and the Mate X is due during the summer. Oppo and TCL are also expected to launch foldable handsets before the end of the year.

These companies are ...

Sprint customers are offered free movie rentals from FandangoNOW

Sprint is trying to prevent customers from switching to another carrier, and what better way to do that than offering them some freebies. Starting today, Sprint customers can rent movies from the FandangoNOW on-demand video streaming service without paying a dime.

The promotion is available until March 4 or while supplies last, but Sprint's announcement says that customers can “rent a free movie.” In order to benefit from the deal, you'll have to download the My Sprint Rewards app on the Apple or Google Play stores, depending on what smartphone you're using.

Then, enter the phone ...

Your Google Clock alarm sounds are getting more customization options

Google Clock, the standard alarm app coming pre-installed on Android phones, received an interesting update recently. Up until now, Clock allowed users to select their alarm sounds from various sources, including Spotify.

With the latest update, Google expands on that customization feature with the addition of two other sources, AndroidPolice reports. Starting this week, your Google Clock app will feature integration with YouTube Music and Pandora.

Before you can select songs, playlists, or albums from Spotify, YouTube Music and Pandora as alarm sounds, you'll have to install the ...

LG G8 and V50 5G have an interesting advantage over Samsung's Galaxy S10 series

Most mobile phones sold in the US come with 1-year warranties, as opposed to handsets sold in Europe and other markets, where the law requires manufacturers to offer 2-year warranties. LG, however, has taken a different stand on this matter and, since launching its G6 flagship back in 2017, it's been offering free extra warranty with all its high-end smartphones sold stateside. We're happy to inform you that this will not change with the brand new LG G8 ThinQ and LG V50 ThinQ 5G (pictured above), both announced at MWC 2019 just days ago.

While LG has yet to say ...

Razer Phone 2 receiving Android 9 Pie update: 4K/60 fps video recording, adaptive battery

Razer promised last week that the long-awaited Android 9 Pie update will finally be available for download for Razer Phone 2 owners at some point this week. Although Razer isn't doing so great when it comes to smartphones, the company reiterated its support for its current devices, at least for a while.

Earlier today, Razer's global marketing manager, Khang Thai confirmed his company has kicked off the global roll-out of Android 9 Pie for the Razer Phone 2. Now, such a major update brings a lot of new features and improvements, but Razer insisted on mentioning some of its own.

Deal: Fitbit's newest fitness tracker, the Charge 3 is already 20% off

Connected health devices are trending again after a short hiatus a few years ago. Smartwatches with health-related features and fitness trackers are here to stay it seems, as people become more concerned about staying in shape.

Of course, if that's the only thing you want, a fitness tracker is the best thing to have, but for more advanced features you'll probably have to buy a smartwatch. The Fitbit Charge 3 is cheaper than a smartwatch, but not by much.

When it made it to the market last year, Fitbit charged customers $150 for the fitness tracker, and the price hasn't dropped to ...

BlackBerry seeks tweet revenge in patent infringement suit

Following up on patent infringement suits it filed against Facebook and Snapchat, which claimed that the messaging apps infringed on its patents, BlackBerry has filed a similar lawsuit against Twitter. Scribd published the entire filing (via CrackBerry), which was submitted in The U.S. District Court for The Central District of California. The patents that BlackBerry is accusing Twitter of using without permission deal with messaging on mobile devices. BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), one of the first mobile messaging applications, was launched on August 1st, 2005. Until 2013, BBM was exclusive ...

Machines anyone can buy on eBay should worry iOS and Android users

Need to break into a locked Apple iPhone, or Android smartphone? Purchasing a hacking tool from Cellebrite, the Israeli firm that sells them to law enforcement, businesses and the military, will normally cost $6,000 and up for a new box. If you can't afford to purchase a new Cellebrite machine, you might be able to find one on eBay for as little as $100.

The company became famous in 2016 when a court ordered Apple to unlock an iPhone 5c belonging to San Bernardino shooter Sayed Farrok. Apple refused to do so, saying that it would have to create a whole new version ...

The Samsung Galaxy A90 might feature a pop-out camera that also rotates

Samsung recently announced an updated Galaxy A-series led by the Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50. Eventually, these will be accompanied by the budget Galaxy A10, a variety of other models, and the premium Galaxy A90 which, according to one tipster, could sport a unique camera setup.

Rather than including the usual front and rear-facing camera setups, Steve Hemmerstoffer believes the Galaxy A90 will follow in the Oppo Find X’s footsteps by adopting a pop-out camera. However, this one has a bit of a twist, quite literally.

As many of you may know, the Oppo Find X’s pop-out module ...

This $649 Android phone has a full-size slide-out keyboard and modern specs

Hardware keyboards on modern smartphones are an increasingly rare sight, but as proven by a new... color of an existing BlackBerry design, they're not entirely dead yet. Interestingly, perhaps the most ambitious such retro-style product doesn't come from the TCL-revived brand or the "new Nokia", the latter of which focused its nostalgia in a much lower price bracket over the past couple of years.

The company that's basically trying to adapt a form factor reminiscent of 2007's HTC Shift to a new era of mobile computing is called F(x)tec. Don't worry, it's perfectly fine if the ...

Did Motorola just confirm a foldable RAZR phone?

We've already seen a couple foldable phones shown off this week from the likes of Samsung and Huawei, and we've seen teasers of foldable phones on the way from Xiaomi and Oppo, but the one rumor that has caught the imagination of many mobile phone fans has been the idea that Motorola might be working on a foldable RAZR. At least part of that question has been answered now.

Dan Dery, VP of Global Product at Motorola, confirmed in an interview that Motorola is indeed working on a foldable phone and plans to release it no later than other hardware makers. That's ...

Deal: Save on Apple's Beats Solo3 wireless headphones at $140 off

The Beats Solo3 wireless headphones are part of Apple's premium line, which is why they're priced accordingly. Although you can often get these for less than $300, you have to be quite fast since these deals usually don't last too long.

Not to mention that there are even fewer places where you can get the Beats Solo3 for much less than $200. If you're hunting for a good deal on these headphones, you'll be pleased to know that Best Buy has them on sale for just $160.

Besides saving $140 when you buy a pair, you'll also receive free Apple Music for 3 months if you've never been subscribed ...

Upcoming LG V series phones will have 5G, but the G series will remain 4G

LG revealed not one, but two very different flagships – V50 and G8. Both will be available in the United States this Spring, but, based on their specs, they target different audiences. The LG V50 is the company's first 5G smartphone, but it won't remain the only one for too long.

On the other hand, the LG G8 sticks with 4G LTE support but offers similar flagship features. And it appears that nothing will change for LG's future smartphones. The South Korean company confirmed this week that all its V series flagships will offer 5G support, AndroidAuthority reports.

Also, the G series ...
