Back in late June we first passed along pictures of the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2. That was followed up by a pair of leaked renders showing a dressy watch face and a more sporty one. That's the great thing about a smartwatch; you can make it adapt to any situation. And the timepiece was recently certified by the FCC revealing that there will be a version sporting a 40mm aluminum case, and one with a 40mm stainless steel case. Those two variants use Wi-Fi connectivity, and there should be a 44mm unit that connects to 4G LTE networks.

Hulu announced earlier today that its Live TV app will be available to Android TV users starting next month. The Hulu Live TV is already part of the Android 9.0 Pie update that is now rolling out to NVIDIA Shield TV units, but the app is said to be released in waves over the coming weeks.
All four major U.S. carriers continue to expand 5G coverage to more cities in the country, but even if you live in one of these lucky cities you only have 5G signal in certain regions. The same goes for the next four cities where Verizon has just deployed its 5G service: Washington DC, Atlanta, Detroit, and Indianapolis.
Shield TV owners, rejoice, as NVIDIA has just announced the highly-anticipated Android 9.0 Pie update is now available for download. Rumored about a week ago, the Android Pie update comes with Upgrade 8.0 for NVIDIA Shield TV.
Samsung has already launched a rugged smartphone this year, but the Xcover 4s only covers the mid-range price tier. Although an unannounced Galaxy S9 Active was spotted early this year at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019, the smartphone hasn't been introduced yet.
We've seen a few leaked press images of the upcoming Galaxy Note 10 and 10+ handsets already, and so far they showed the shared chameleon Aura Glow and Aura Black colors, as well as the Aura whatever-shade-of-red-or-pink-or-salmon Samsung is prepping.
The Galaxy Tab S6 features a Snapdragon 855 processor, 128 or 256GB internal storage options, and 6 or 8GB RAM. A 10.5-inch Super AMOLED panel with razor-thin bezels, quad AKG-tuned speakers, and an "all-new" S Pen are also included.
While we are waiting with baited breath for the Galaxy Note 10 announcement and the eventual Galaxy Fold release, Samsung decided to drop us a pleasant surprise a week early — the Galaxy Tab S6 has just been announced. No, you didn't miss something — there was, indeed, no Tab S5. We jumped straight from S4 to S6 for... well an unknown reason.
At a retail price of $89.99, it's pretty hard to argue with the value proposition of an "all-new" Echo Show 5 smart display, especially when considering Amazon's other "all-new" Echo Show (the one sporting a 10.1-inch touchscreen) typically costs $229.99.
Strategy Analytics, Counterpoint Research, and Canalys have all released their latest global smartphone market reports, and although the three totals differ slightly, the overarching trend is the same. Shipments are down for the seventh consecutive quarter, and it remains unclear when or if the mobile industry will be able to bounce back to a healthy growth pace.
Motorola is on the cusp of announcing a few extra handsets in its Android One line, after the Vision model already made a cameo, as renders for the One Action midranger just leaked out.
Apple's voice-operated Siri virtual butler has been in hot water lately, due to an initial setting that gives third-party contractors access to accidental voice recordings. Amazon and Google do it with their smart speakers and the virtual Google Assistant or Alexa loaded on them but upon the initial setup they let you uncheck that option.
Commercially released on its first US carrier about a month ago, the mid-range LG Stylo 5 expanded pretty quickly to Boost Mobile, Sprint, and Metro by T-Mobile. Still unavailable in an unlocked variant, the pen-wielding 6.2-incher can be had free of charge from not one but two wireless service providers right now, as Boost is essentially matching Metro's introductory deal on this very interesting smartphone for new subscribers.
With rapid restructuring of both its corporate organization and product lines, Samsung managed to turn the ship around, and stabilize its sales and profits that were heading downwards after the flagship smartphone market started maturing about two years ago.
If you have been longing for the smallish iPhones of yesteryear on the cheapo, today is your lucky day. T-Mobile just sent us an irresistible deal on the iPhone 7 that will be available via its Metro by T-Mobile subsidiary.
Despite being originally released almost two whole years ago, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro has made quite a few headlines of late thanks to one of the major retailers that officially carried the 6-inch Android powerhouse in the US back in the day.
Among an industry-specific chatter in a Korean business publication about who will be the battery suppliers for the Note 10+ and Galaxy Watch Active 2, one can find the exact capacity of their units.
While waiting for a sequel to the summer 2018-released BlackBerry KEY2 that has yet to pop up in the rumor mill, hardcore fans of hardware keyboards can support the latest initiative designed to blend the productivity of past mobile phones with the advanced features and convenience of modern Android soldiers.

There is a reason why Google is going with a giant top bezel on the Pixel 4, in times where the Note 10 will be the most compact large-screen phone in our database precisely on account of the shaved-off strip there. No, that reason is not a 3D face-scanning kit, although there will be one, and Google is collecting faces to perfect it at $5 a pop.

The Galaxy A50 is arguably the most compelling mid-range smartphone released by Samsung in the US over the last few years, combining the premium design language of some of its hottest high-end cousins with a respectable spec sheet and reasonable price point.
If everything is going according to the established timeframe, OnePlus should announce its new smartphone(s) sometime in October. Right now, we’re not really sure if there will be two models once again after the “Pro” made its debut a few months ago. It’s probably safe to assume, however, that this separation will continue for at least another launch, which means we’ll get both a OnePlus 7T and a OnePlus 7T Pro. So far, little is known about these upcoming devices, but that doesn’t mean we can’t create our own wishlist about what we’d like to see in them.
If you're looking for an ultra-high-end smartphone from last year at a remarkably low price, the Snapdragon 845-powered LG V35 ThinQ can routinely be purchased for less than $300 brand-new from highly trusted eBay sellers. But if you also want a standard manufacturer's warranty with the stylish 6-incher, Amazon and Cricket Wireless offered the best deals in recent memory, as the former retailer charged $400 instead of $900 for an unlocked Prime Exclusive variant, while the latter prepaid carrier went 100 bucks lower shortly after the big Prime Day celebration concluded.
Although details surrounding Trump's decision to loosen restrictions imposed on Huawei's business ties with US companies remain unclear, the Chinese tech giant seems to be largely out of the woods, betting the farm on Android and essentially admitting the Hongmeng project was a well-orchestrated ruse while having reason to expect solid overall sales results around the world this year.
Normally available for $250 and up, the incredibly popular Moto G6 is currently on sale at its manufacturer at $160 in a 32GB variant while Best Buy has it listed for as little as $59.99. The latter price tag is pretty much impossible to beat, but at the same time, it comes with a number of strings attached, requiring upfront Sprint activation.
Throughout the years, we've seen plenty of the Federal Communications Commission testing setups for 3G and 4G handsets, but it is for the first time that we are seeing how the FCC tests a phone with 5G connectivity on board.
LG seemed almost unusually optimistic back in April, reporting a smaller operating loss for its long-struggling mobile division than the previous quarter while expecting the 5G-enabled V50 ThinQ to "create positive momentum" in Q2. Technically, the company never said anything about potentially returning to smartphone business profitability, but clearly, the hope was the April - June 2019 results would continue the (semi) positive trend noticed in the January - March timeframe.
Whether you're an Android or iPhone fan, we're pretty certain you've heard of Anker and most likely used its affordable and reliable mobile accessories already. The company is known for selling everything from Bluetooth speakers to wireless headphones, and even smart alarm clocks, but its most popular products are undoubtedly used to charge... all the things.
If you're looking to buy an LG flagship smartphone, the G8 ThinQ is on sale right now at Best Buy for as low as $150. However, as the title says, you'll have to add a new line or account with one of the US carriers to be able to get that cheap.
Waze has just announced a brand new feature is now making its way to carpoolers on Android and iOS devices. The new feature lets Waze users invite multiple riders to join a carpool, which should make it easier to choose the people in a Carpool crew.
