Key details regarding the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9 (SM-G960) and Galaxy S9 Plus (SM-G965) have leaked via WinFuture.de. Though the source isn’t mentioned, the German website appears to have gotten its hands on marketing materials and the core specs details for the new handsets, expected to be launched at the weekend.

The 3 Best T-Mobile Phones

Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus

They’re two of the best smartphones available right now.

Hardware and design

Text and photos don't do the S8 ($750) and S8 Plus ($850) justice. They're beautiful, if not exactly surprising. From their rounded edges to their precisely formed metal-and-glass bodies, they feel like smaller, sleeker versions of the Galaxy Note 7. That's a hell of a compliment, battery insanity notwithstanding — the Note 7 was a beautiful device and I'm glad that DNA lives on. The S8

Remember the Samsung Galaxy Note 7? You know, the one that spontaneously caught fire and, in one case, even destroyed someone’s car? The refurbished version of the troubled phablet is expected to soon make a comeback under a different name — the Galaxy Note FE.

According to a report by Etnews, the smartphone will go on sale in South Korea on July 7. Samsung apparently wanted to release it at the end of this month but has decided to push back the date for a week. The reason for this is that it

Breaking down Hulu’s new Live TV service

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on May 3, 2017 at 2:30pm

Hulu officially announced the launch of its live TV streaming service this morning at its Upfront presentation in New York, after earlier promising its “under $40” offering would arrive sometime this spring. The service — which is actually $39.99 per month — has a robust channel lineup, cloud DVR and combines Hulu’s existing on-demand library, including its Originals, with streaming TV and on-demand content from its broadcast partners. However, a key part to the new service is the revamped,

After months of countless leaks and rumors, it was starting to feel like this day might never actually come. Believe it or not, however, it’s finally here: Samsung’s new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are finally official. No more specs leaks, no more renders, no more spy shots on Weibo, no more dummy models being compared to rival smartphones, and no more guessing. Samsung on Wednesday finally took the wraps off of its next-generation Galaxy S flagship phones.

This is our best look yet at Samsung’s jet black Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+

Image Source: Benjamin Geskin

When Apple’s new Jet Black finish quickly became the most talked-about and sought-after color for Apple’s new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, it became fairly apparent that Samsung would eventually ape it. Well, as it turned out, Samsung didn’t take very long at all to follow Apple’s lead; the company released a Jet Black version — excuse us, “Black Pearl” version — of its Galaxy S7 in

Samsung could introduce its upcoming Galaxy S8 and S8 Edge phones to the world as soon as March 29, according to Evan Blass, a tech writer also known for reliably leaking upcoming products under his Twitter handle @evleaks.

The two new flagship phones could feature larger screen sizes than even the supersize 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 7 did (before Samsung recalled it for catching fire). The S8 could come with a 5.8-inch display and the Edge a 6.2-inch whopper -- screens that could cover nearl

While the specifications and software are not yet finalized, the BlackBerry ‘Mercury’ is a promising Android phone targeted toward people who prefer physical keyboards, as well as BlackBerry’s suite of secure apps such as BBM.

BlackBerry kicked its own BlackBerry Operating System to the curb last year in favor of the more popular Android OS, and no longer manufactures its own phones, but that doesn’t mean they’re

ZTE AXON 7 REVIEW

ZTE’s Axon 7 is the flagship killer to buy

Just what constitutes a “flagship killer”? There isn’t a dictionary definition, but the term typically refers to phones with high-end hardware at prices that challenge the status quo. The OnePlus 3 meets that loose definition, as does LeEco’s Le Pro 3 and Oppo’s F1 Plus. All retail for far less than the $650+ Apple iPhone 7, Samsung Galaxy S7, LG V20, and Google Pixel Phones, but match — and in some cases surpass —

The Fall is often an interesting time for smartphone releases, as some of the biggest names in the industry out their latest and greatest to end the year on a high, but this hasn’t gone to plan for a lot of names out there, particularly Samsung. Over the past few editions of this list, the Galaxy Note 7 has popped in and popped out, but now has been well and truly discontinued. For those that are still hanging on to one, return it.

WATCH: With Pixel, Google Debuts ‘Assistant’, a Better Assistant than Apple’s Siri

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on October 23, 2016 at 1:28am

This week didn’t look good for Apple.

Google’s new Pixel phone launched to positive reviews, largely because of the phone’s new digital helper called Google Assistant.

As I wrote in my review of the new Google Pixel, it’s relatively easy to make a high-end smartphone these days. The real challenge is lighting it up with unique software that helps you do more.

And the new Google Assistant accomplishes just that.

Right out of the gate, Assistant is noticeably smarter and more capable than Siri,

Look out, Apple! Google’s Pixel phones represent the very best of Android with solid specs and sharp software.

Google’s poorly-kept secret, the Pixel and Pixel XL, are here. The pair are the first smartphones to be marketed as “made by Google,” which feels a little misleading considering HTC is still the manufacturer.

Google announced the Pixel and Pixel XL at a heavily-advertised event in San Francisco. The
