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

And then there were three.
Apple has finally unveiled its answer to Amazon’s and Google’s smart speakers slash digital assistants — and it’s called HomePod.
This has been one major area in consumer electronics lacking Apple’s footprint. Amazon has heavily dominated the field with its home speaker called Echo, which uses the digital assistant
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,

Now Instagram's just rubbing it in.
In case the Facebook-owned company hadn't already made it abundantly clear that burying Snapchat under an endlessly growing pile of lookalike products was its top priority, Instagram has some fresh salt to rub into Snap's wounds: Instagram Stories now has 200 million daily active users — more than Snapchat's total daily active user base.
Put another way: In 2017 alone Instagram has added nearly as many daily
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.

In a move that isn’t entirely unexpected but is still somewhat shocking considering that the company is typically a creature of habit, Apple on Tuesday morning added new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models to its smartphone lineup.
The Apple store was taken offline early on Tuesday morning, as we all expected. Apple warned on its system status website that the store would be taken offline beginning around
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
Google Play Music is an underrated music service that combines a Spotify-like subscription with Pandora-style radio stations and your own music library. Even if you’ve used it from day one, here are some excellent features you might have overlooked.
Shazam is awesome at finding out what song is playing over the stereo at the restaurant, but why download a separate app just for that when Google Play Music is already on your phone? Open it up a
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
Sprint will acquire a 33% stake in Tidal, the streaming music service owned by rap mogul Jay Z, the wireless carrier announced Monday.
The deal is part of a partnership between the two companies where Sprint customers will receive exclusive content for customers who subscribe to Tidal. Sprint did not say when the acquisition would be complete.
“The passion and dedication that these artist-owners bring to fans will enable Sprint to offer new and existing customers access to exclusive content a
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 —

Nintendo confirmed Thursday it will launch its Switch video game console worldwide on March 3.
The console, which is a combination of a home and portable device, will cost $299.99 in the U.S.
Players attach the tablet-like device to a dock to play at home on a television with standard video game controllers. Players can also remove the tablet, with a 6.2-inch screen, using a pair of “Joy-con” controllers on each side to play games while away from home.

If you were hoping to grab that cool $60 NES Classic Edition console from Nintendo this weekend, don’t even bother looking for it. It’s sold out — and in true Nintendo fashion, many retailers have no idea when the next shipment will arrive. The best guess? Black Friday, of course.
The NES Classic Edition is a sparkly new console from Nintendo that’s identical to the original Nintendo Entertainment System launched in the mid-1980s, only smaller. It comes with one “classic” NES con
