Samsung leaves feature off of the Galaxy S10e to keep the price down

To keep the price of the 'more affordable' Samsung Galaxy S10e down, Samsung had to cut back on some of the features found on the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+. For example, the ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner found on those two models won't be found on the Galaxy S10e. Instead, the biometric reader is found on the side of the phone. The lower priced model doesn't have a curved edge screen, and it sports 'only' a dual camera setup on back compared to the trio of cameras found on the other two models.

And according to SlashGear, the heart rate monitor found ...

Google yanks controversial app from the Play Store

Axios revealed last week that Google has removed the Living Hope Ministries app from the Google Play Store. Those who installed the app could listen to recordings of sermons and view texts of devotionals for men, women, parents and their children. However, despite the Ministry's denial, the app was also known for offering gay conversion therapy. This is a controversial method that some (including Vice President Mike Pence) believe will convert gay and bisexual men and women to a heterosexual orientation. The conversion is done by a brainwashing-like technique that uses psychology and religious ...

Google Maps update brings Nokia's classic Snake game to everyone

The classic Snake game that made its debut on Nokia phones back in 2007 and achieved popularity not long after, is now available to all Google Map users. Well, let's say that a very improved version of that game can now be played by Android and iOS users directly in Google Maps.

Apparently, Google continues the tradition of celebrating April Fools with a long-lasting gag that will be available to those using some of its services on mobile and desktop. This year Google has decided to make Maps the main platform of its gag.

All Android and iOS users will be able to play Snake on their ...

Huawei admits half of its flagships could sport foldable displays by 2021

The Huawei Mate X

Huawei is betting pretty heavily on foldable smartphones and in a recent interview the CEO of the company’s Consumer Business Group, Richard Yu, revealed Huawei’s short-term expectations for the new device format.

Because the foldable segment is so new, Huawei’s primary focus at the moment is the recently-announced Mate X, which will go on sale in June. This device, as the company openly admits, is rather expensive but as foldable devices start to gain traction Huawei expects pricing to begin falling. In fact, in just ...

Here's why you should try hard not to lose the tips from your Samsung Galaxy Buds

Google revolutionizes phone hygiene with Screen Cleaner, a smart feature that fights dirt and smudges

Google just announced that it's now offering a brand new Android feature designed to keep the screen of your smartphone clean and fresh at all times. Aptly called Screen Cleaner, this feature is nothing short of revolutionary, eliminating the need to manually wipe your phone's display when it becomes dirty.

The Huawei P30 Pro is missing two key camera features, here's why

The Huawei P30 Pro – like the P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro that precede it – is arguably one of the best camera phones out there thanks to its updated sensors, impressive low light performance, and advanced zoom capabilities. Despite this, there are still some missing features and Huawei recently explained why.

During an interview with multiple news publications, the smartphone giant was asked about the Huawei P30 Pro’s lack of support for 4K video recording at 60fps (frames per second). In defense of its decision, the company argued that the benefits of 4K video “can only be seen on a very ...

Motorola offers big new discounts on Moto Z3 Play, Z2 Play, Moto X4, and more

Instead of trying to be funny this April Fools' Day, which more often than not fails to hit the mark as far as tech-themed pranks are concerned, Motorola is as dead serious as ever about its killer deals on popular smartphones, discounting a whole bunch of them again to celebrate something special. Namely, April 3, the day on which the first-ever mobile call was made on a cumbersome Motorola "handheld" prototype 46 years ago.

The company playfully argues it made a "good call" back in the day, and so can you right now by purchasing a Moto Z3 Play at a markdown of up to $200. The ...

Is your Android or iOS phone on Google's ARCore supported devices list?

ARCore is Google's Augmented Reality (AR) platform. Not every Android phone has what it takes to be included among the devices supported by ARCore. To be on that list, Google checks a phone's camera image and motion sensor to see how well the device "moves through the real world." Google also makes sure that the handset is equipped with a CPU that is powerful enough to make the necessary calculations in real-time to make AR work smoothly.

Recently, Google has added a number of new phones to its ARCore supported devices list (via XDA). These models include the recently ...

Huawei says it "can make the chin shorter" on its smartphones, but has chosen not to

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro's chin

Nowadays, almost every smartphone manufacturer out there claims to have produced a bezel-less device despite the presence of a thicker chin. Two prime examples of this are the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro. But in a recent interview, Huawei explained why it hasn’t yet removed the chin from its smartphones.

Speaking to GSMArena recently, Richard Yu, the CEO of Huawei’s Consumer Business Group, revealed that the decision to maintain the chin on its most recent flagship devices is down to “accidental touches.”

Oppo patents new slider design that allows for a high screen-to-body-ratio

The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) has published (via GSM Arena) a patent awarded to Chinese phone manufacturer Oppo. The company's Oppo Find X was the first smartphone to feature a slider design; the slider hides the front-facing camera and dual rear cameras until needed. Now, Oppo's new slider design includes dual cameras that are mounted on the back of the phone, never hidden from view. Meanwhile, the slider holds a pair of front-facing selfie cameras.

Just the other day, we showed you a case render for a phone called the Oppo Reno, which will ...

Update to the Google Camera app adds a popular feature

The update to version 6.2 of the Google Camera app comes with Dark mode and a few other changes, and it is rolling out to Pixel handsets via the Google Play Store. According to Android Police, the settings on the updated camera app will go into Dark mode when the Battery Saver is enabled. The report says that this works consistently with the Android Q beta installed, but not so much with Android 9 Pie.

Since the camera app already uses a black background, why add this feature? Well, if you're in a dark room or out at night and need to go into the Google Camera app's ...

Deal: Samsung Galaxy S10e is $150 off at Walmart (with AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint monthly installments)

Released earlier this month alongside the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+, the Galaxy S10e is not just the smallest phone in Samsung's new Android flagship series, but also the most affordable one. Still, at its regular price (starting at $749.99), the S10e is definitely not cheap, so it's out of reach for many customers. But what if you could buy this handset for just $600 instead of $749.99? Well, you can do that at Walmart, but only if you intend to use the smartphone on AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint.


AT&T's real mobile 5G network is the first to hit this milestone in the U.S.

AT&T's real 5G service (not 5G Evolution) is currently available in 12 markets via invitation, and requires the use of a Netgear Nighthawk 5G mobile hotspot. At first, data speeds were only slightly higher than those achieved by the carrier's faux 5G network. But adjustments have been made, and yesterday AT&T announced that it has become the first U.S. carrier ever to achieve 5G mobile speeds greater than 1Gbps. The nation's second largest wireless provider says that at that speed, a two-hour HD movie can be downloaded in 20 seconds.

Back in December, AT&T's ...

Best Buy deal takes $70 or 20% off of the Apple HomePod

It is pretty much a given that the Apple HomePod smart speaker has not been the big hit that the company expected (although we could point out that at least this product did materialize). Apple might have misread the market since it's $349.99 speaker is having its lunch eaten by low-priced competition like the Amazon Echo Dot and the Google Home Mini, both of which you can pick up during various sales for as low as $25. In addition, Siri can't seem to compete with Google Assistant and Amazon's Alexa. Remember, the virtual assistant is one of the most, if not the most, important part of these ...

Update to Google's Duo changes how you use the app

The Google Duo app allows users to stream live video, make calls or send video and voice messages to their Duo contacts. Spotted by Android Police, a server-side update performed by Google has changed how users select contacts, and whether they are streaming them video or making a voice call to them. In the olden days (like a week or so ago), one would open the Duo app, go to contacts, and tab the video or audio tabs before selecting the recipient.

After the update, when you open the Duo app, you first select the contact that you want to connect with. Only then do ...

Next Xbox, PS5 could exceed 10.7 teraflops to beat Google Stadia

Recently, specifications of Sony’s next-generation PlayStation 5 leaked online. These included details about its graphics unit, however, that information sounded dubious for obvious reasons.

Official Samsung Galaxy S10 screen protectors now available to buy in the US (they're cheaper than expected)

Last month, when Samsung announced the Galaxy S10 smartphone series, it said that all S10 models would be released with pre-installed screen protectors. And, sure enough, when the new phones hit shelves earlier this month, they did come with screen protectors on. Made by Samsung itself, these official screen covers are specially designed to ensure the proper functioning of the S10's touchscreen display, including the Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor that's hidden behind it (only on the S10 and S10+ models, but not on the cheaper S10e, which features a traditional fingerprint scanner).

It's not often that we see an Apple product launched on the market less than six months ago getting a $100 discount. But if you dig through all the deals many of the US retailers offer on a weekly basis, you can sometimes find what you're looking for.

Google Photos update helps Android users capture receipts, documents easier than ever

Google Photos, the popular photo sharing and storage service created by Google, is now getting a small but important update on Android. A lot of users are taking advantage of the app/service combo and capture documents or receipts and store them for later use.

Up until now, if you wanted your picture to look nice and show just the document or receipt, you needed to crop it yourself. Of course, that could have been done very easily with the tools provided by Google Photos, but it took extra time.

Starting this week, Google Photos will automatically crop receipts and documents for all ...

Report: Sony to lay off half of its mobile division staff by 2020 (2,000 people)

Sony is expected to shrink its mobile business even further after announcing its merger with the TV, audio and camera divisions earlier this week. Although it's not yet official, it appears that the Japanese company is doing more than just hide the mobile division's losses under a wall of profits coming from the other three business.

Nikkei Asian Review reports Sony plans to lay off 50% of its smartphone workforce by 2020. The percentage is high, but the number of people affected is quite shocking, as more than 2,000 are to be let go or transferred to other divisions.

Sony's mobile ...

Google accidentally leaks new smart display that includes a major feature it left out on the Home Hub

Google accidentally leaked its new smart display on the company's online store earlier today. Spotted by Android Police before the image was taken down, the Google Nest Hub Max features a 10-inch HD (720p) display. Unlike the current Home Hub smart display, the Nest Hub Max will include a camera. This was a surprising omission from the Home Hub. Information about the Nest Hub Max was posted in the Google Store's Connected Home page, which shows the cross section of a home with various Google smart speakers and displays in the different rooms. Tapping on the Google Home Hub link revealed a ...

Microsoft's foldable 'Surface Phone' could be back in play

The foldable Microsoft device that was dubbed "Project Andromeda" and believed to be the Surface Phone, was put on hold last summer by Microsoft. But a recent patent published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) spotted by Windows United (via MSPoweruser) focuses on the hinge that could be used on the device. The hinge will allow the Surface Phone to be used like a laptop in landscape orientation; one display on top would be used as the screen with the bottom display used as a virtual QWERTY keyboard.

The hinge also allows the display to rotate a ...

U.S. can't compete with Huawei says company executive

After years of being told that it was a national security threat by U.S. lawmakers worried that the communist Chinese government will force the company to gather intelligence for it, Huawei has had enough. Unverified talk that its products contain back doors ready to be a conduit for secret information sent to Beijing, and watching as U.S. officials try to get allies not to use its 5G networking equipment has Huawei executives ready to fight. Rotating Chairman Guo Ping told CNBC today that the country is dragging its name and reputation through the mud because the U.S. can't compete with the ...

Motorola Moto G7 Play is now available for pre-order in the US, offers long battery life at a low price

Starting today, March 29, US customers can pre-order Motorola's Moto G7 Play, an affordable smartphone that's fully unlocked and compatible with all relevant US mobile carriers. 

The Moto G7 Play is the smallest and cheapest phone in Motorola's G7 series, which also includes a Moto G7 Power and a regular Moto G7 (already released stateside for $249 and $299, respectively). The G7 Play is also the least attractive model in the series, both design- and specs-wise, but that's why it's sold for only $199.

Apple cancels AirPower after 562 days

While everyone was expecting Apple to launch its AirPower wireless charging pad at anytime, the announcement made today will undoubtedly surprise many. Apple today announced that it has cancelled the project. In a statement, Apple's senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, Dan Riccio, apologized and said that AirPower could not live up to Apple's high standards.

Bonkers Google Home Hub deal slashes its price by nearly 50 percent

Google made a pretty big splash right off the bat with its first in-house "smart display", which managed to undercut Amazon's popular Echo Show at a starting price of $149 while essentially offering the same functionality (minus a webcam for privacy reasons). Incredibly enough, the Home Hub was quickly discounted to as little as $99, either by itself or in different combinations with other smart home devices.

The deals kept coming after Black Friday and Christmas too, with the most recent one shaving a whopping $99 off the combined list price of a Google Home Hub and Chromecast ...

With Apple News+ available, Texture will close on May 28th

Now that Apple has launched its Apple News+ magazine subscription service, AppleInsider says that the company plans on shutting down the Texture app on May 28th. The app, known as "the Netflix of magazine publishing," was acquired by Apple last year and immediately rumors started about Apple using the service to launch a premium paid tier of Apple News. Of course, the rumors were true, and earlier this week Apple announced Apple News+. The latter offers over 300 magazines, The Wall Street Journal and the L.A. Times. After a one-month free trial, Apple News+ automatically renews at a price ...

Huawei shook off U.S. warnings to achieve two things in 2018 for the first time ever

Huawei experienced a couple of firsts last year. The Chinese phone and networking gear firm grossed over $100 billion in 2018, the first time that the company has surpassed this mark. The actual revenue garnered by Huawei last year was 721.2 billion yuan, equivalent to $107.13 billion USD. And last year, for the first time ever, Huawei's consumer division was responsible for the majority of the firm's business.

Huawei's consumer division, which includes its handsets, brought in 348.9 billion yuan ($52 billion USD) last year. That was a 45.1% hike over 2017's figure ...

Are Apple's services a new era for the company or just a filler before the next industry-changing product?

The past 10 days or so were quite eventful for Apple, but things didn’t transpire in the way most people expected them to, at least not before we got more information about the nature of the March 25 event. With the leaks about new Apple products coming steadily, people expected that hardware and software will share the stage at the Steve Jobs Theater. That wasn’t the case, however, and if anyone still needed proof that Apple is shifting its focus towards services, you couldn’t get a clearer one than what actually happened. Let’s talk some more about why Apple chose to go for the “quiet” product ...

Google is not a hardware company, where does that leave the Pixels?

TL;DR 
We calculated the average lifespan of Google's hardware projects to be 2 years and 9 months, compared to 4 years and 4 months for its abandoned apps and services software roster.

Samsung's Galaxy S10 5G gets a price tag that... actually sounds pretty fair

The 5G revolution is about to begin, and even though it's getting clearer and clearer wide-scale network upgrade rollouts aren't exactly around the corner, we can't help but feel excited for absolute powerhouses like the Galaxy S10 5G and LG V50 ThinQ 5G.

The fourth member of Samsung's hot new flagship family is almost ready for primetime... in the company's homeland, where a release date was recently officially confirmed. But it's only today that the final piece of the domestic availability puzzle falls into place. As expected, the 5G-enabled Galaxy S10 won't come cheap, starting ...

Harman Kardon's portable Alexa smart speaker is on sale at Dell for a whopping $130 off

Amazon makes without a doubt the most popular and well-known Alexa-powered smart speakers in the world, but the e-commerce giant is actually far from the only company holding off the rising Google Assistant threat. Interestingly, Harman Kardon, a Samsung-owned brand, sells voice-controlled devices with support for Alexa, Google Assistant, and Cortana, but not Bixby.

The Harman Kardon Allure line includes two similar but distinct products capable of interacting with Amazon's digital assistant, one of which rivals the silently discontinued Tap by answering your questions and playing ...

Apple highlights Safari privacy in yet another themed iPhone ad (video)


Apple's newest iPhone ad basically picks up where the last one left off a couple of weeks back, focusing on something that wasn't as strongly highlighted in marketing materials for previous generations.
