How to find great deals and discounts on Android and iOS apps

Name someone who doesn't like deals, we'll wait! Getting a quality or, in all honesty, any paid app on the cheap is one of life's little pleasures. 

Thanks to Google's recent policy change Android apps can now go completely free. The same applies to iOS apps, which have had the ability to go free for a long time now.

But with so many apps on both the App Store and the Play Store, it's really hard to keep track on the ones that have had their prices slashed. Of course, most media outlets usually break the news if a high-profile app gets a price change, ...

Bouncy Hoops: Play some flappy basketball, while waiting for the NBA finals

There's something truly addicting about simplistic high-score chasers. We can't quite put our finger on it, but it might have something to do with the fact that you can pick them up right away and start beating records (be it yours, or someone else's).

Bouncy Hoops is just that – a one-touch game of basketball that will entertain you while you wait for the first Calaviers – Warriors game to start. Its concept is simple – tap on the screen to make the ball go higher, and make sure to land it in the basket. After every made shot, the basket switches sides, but don't ...

Samsung Galaxy Xcover 4 Review

Introduction
The rugged smartphone is, by all accounts, a form factor of interest to a tiny consumer niche, and as such isn’t a popular choice with manufacturers. Among the big players, Samsung has been the most supportive of the idea, with the best-known example being the “Active” spins on its mainline flagships.

But one might consider its Xcover line, in this case represented by the latest Xcover 4, to be in an even tighter niche: where the Active series offers top-of-the-line specs if a sturdier body, the Xcover family is firmly and unashamedly planted into the low end. Thus, when ...

Four new Apple tablets spotted, new iPad Pro possibly among them

Many expect that Apple’s WWDC event this year will bring not only software, but also hardware announcements, with news about upcoming iPad models among them. And new evidence has popped up recently, suggesting that several new models may be set for debut at WWDC 2017. 

Said evidence comes in the form of regulatory approval spotted by the French web site Consomac. It lists four new “tablet PC” devices running iOS 10, referred to by their model numbers: A1670, A1671, A1701, and A1709. There is also a wireless keyboard listed under the A1843 model number, which ...

Google now understands language at 95% accuracy, has improved by 20% in 2 years

Google now understands human language with a 95% accuracy, thanks to improvements in machine learning. This allows the company to detect voice and act upon it in a meaningful way, and will clearly be of a huge benefit to the Google Assistant, a core Google product that is available on a lot of Android phones.

What's notable, though, is not only the figure, but how Google arrived at it: the company improved its understanding of human language by a whopping 20% in just the last four years or so, since 2013, according to a report by Kleiner ...

Analyst takes a guess at the OnePlus 5's price, a dubious poster shows the phone's release date

So, the OnePlus 5 is coming. We don't know when exactly, but seeing how the company's "guerilla marketing" campaign is churning teasers left and right, we are guessing an unveiling should be pretty soon. As usual, it's expected that the "flagship killer" will have top-notch hardware at an aggressive price point. But how much, exactly?

OnePlus is well-known to sell its handsets at bargain prices (considering their class), but every year, the new flagship model costs a bit more than the last. Rumors keep saying that the OnePlus 5 will, indeed, be more expensive than the OnePlus 3T and an analyst ...

HTC U11 Review

Introduction
There's no one “right” way to make a smartphone, and that's probably more apparent with this year's selection of new handsets than any batch in recent memory. We've got exceptionally widescreen phones, phones with hardware keyboards, and even those with multiple cameras. With so much up in the air, it shouldn't be a huge surprise that HTC decided to go back to the drawing board with its smartphone design language, rethinking the metal unibody that's been so popular with its flagships and going with a new look that's all about smooth lines and bold expanses of color.
