OnePlus-8-Pro-lifestlye-image-15.jpg

OnePlus had introduced its OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro flagship smartphones today. We've already talked about the two phones in our official announcement. We're here to take a closer look at OnePlus 8 series specifications.

The two phones do have some things in common when it comes to specifications, but there are quite a few differences. They are, however, almost identical in terms of the design. We'll kick things off with the OnePlus 8 specifications, and will then talk about the '

Foldables might just be the next big thing in smartphones, but first-generation devices haven’t worked out so well to date. Today at Samsung Unpacked, the Galaxy Z Flip was the star of the show with its flip phone design. It’s gotten a lot of people on board with the idea of a foldable phone, but I think there are still some things that keep it from being ready for everyone.

To quickly recap the Galaxy Z Flip, Samsung’s second foldable is very different from the first. Where the Galaxy Fold

Ranging from $1,000 to $1,600, available March 6th

Samsung has announced its latest flagship phones: the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus, and Galaxy S20 Ultra. Technically, Samsung is appending “5G” to the names of those phones, as each one will support 5G in the US and other select markets. They’ll be available on March 6th with prices ranging from $999.99 to $1,599.99, and preorders begin on February 21st.

EARLY VERDICT

The Samsung Galaxy A71 packs in a big 6.7-inch display, four rear cameras and a huge 4,500mAh battery at a price point which won't break the bank. It could well be a winning formula.

  • No water resistance
  • No wireless charging

Samsung's renewed vigor in the mid-range mobile market continues, and with the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy A71 at CES 2020, it believes it's hit on exactly what co

Motorola took to stage today to announce the reinvented Motorola Razr. The phone builds on the same design language that made the original Razr V3 an iconic phone. This time around, the new Razr is a foldable flip phone!

Let’s talk displays. There are two!

Run-of-the-mill specs

 

In terms of specifications, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are mostly run-of-the-mill 2018 flagships: Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chip is here, together with a minimum 64GB storage option and 4GB of RAM which Google is surprisingly sticking with for the third year in a row now. Speaking of things that are not new, the sole 12.2-megapixel camera is once again making a return, though the single-lens selfie solution from last year has now been replaced with an 8-megapixel du

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. As for the rest of the Android world, the LG V20 and Pixel h

Google guns for the big boys with the spec-stacked Pixel

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

Alphabet officially vaulted Apple to become the most valuable company in the U.S. in Tuesday trading , rousting the iPhone maker from the perch it held for more than four years.

Alphabet shares (GOOGL) jumped 6% after Google’s parent reported estimate-topping fourth-quarter results after Monday’s close. Its combined share classes were then worth $554 billion, surpassing Apple (AAPL), which had a value of about $534 billion and whose shares were down slightly after hours.

Let’s start off by saying one thing, Youtube, and Google, are businesses. A business’ goal is strictly to make money, that is the only goal, anything else is merely a solution to a problem that rises from the question of “How do we make more money?”

There is no real other question in the world of business that matters, only solutions, and this brings up the subscription feature that YouTube is looking to launch.

Google apologized on Tuesday after a Washington Post reader discovered that typing “n****r house” in the global view of Google Maps returned results for the White House. If users search for “n****r king” in the Washington, D.C. view, Google Maps zooms in on the same location in what appears a racial slur directed at President Barack Obama.

The company issued a statement on Tuesday, apologizing for any offense the results may have caused, saying the company is “working to fix this issue quick

Acer’s Chromebook 15 is the largest to date, and the first to accommodate a fifth-generation Intel Core M processor based on the Broadwell micro-architecture. We’re talking a Core i3-5005U. That doesn’t sound like a powerhouse, but it should be good enough to beat most of the Chromebook competition. Alternatively, the Acer Chromebook 15 can be had with an Intel Celeron 3205U chip (also based on Broadwell).
