No early release for the Samsung Galaxy S8
by Guest Kevin Arnold- 0 replies
- 39 views
The year 2016 will not be remembered as the best year for Samsung for reasons we are all too familiar with at this point. So now the attention has turned to next year and what the South Korean company may have planned for the upcoming Galaxy S8. But don’t get your hopes up for an […] Come comment on this article: No early release for the Samsung Galaxy S8 Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/17d4d22369d5d32127d87d85a5636b8f._.gif News via TalkAndroid

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d3c24895b9506cb7b263e88376430dbe.jpgIt's hard to assess what's crazier: the fact that Samsung still can't figure out the root cause behind exploding Note 7 phablets or the fact that 1/3 of Note 7 owners in Europe still haven't returned or exchanged their device. Without exaggeration, Samsung's Note 7 is a ticking time-bomb. Over the past few months, we've seen no shortage of stories involving Note 7 devices spontaneously catching fire and exploding, causing property damage and, at times, serious burns to owners. In turn, Samsung not only recalled the device but discontinued it completely. Additionally, multiple airlines across t…

Consumer Reports ranks Tesla as one of the least reliable car brands on the planet

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4a9ba45dc4701885acdbf07d026cdad0.jpgIf it wasn't already, I think it's now safe to say that Consumer Reports' on-and-off-again love affair with Tesla is officially over. In a new tally ranking the 10 least reliable cars, the Model X makes an unceremonious appearance, joining the likes of the Ford Fiesta and the Fiat 500L. That Tesla's SUV made the list should hardly come as a surprise for anyone who has been paying close attention to early reviews of the luxury vehicle. From faulty doors and wonky electronics, some of the first impressions of the Tesla Model X were far from positive. Calling the gargantuan Model X "more showy th…

With the general consensus being that smartphone development has hit something akin to a plateau, it’s a little difficult to fall in love with new handsets as they often aren’t terribly much different than the model they’ve replaced. Sure, they are often a little quicker, perhaps a little brighter or thinner, but there’s often not […] Come comment on this article: Xiaomi announces the massive 6.4-inch MI Mix concept phone with a 91.3% screen-to-body ratio Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1ddb69170d9888c5601756ddbc6f777a._.gif News via TalkAndroid

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/501c6d90e3bf1f9f7e833efc0ce2a46e.jpgApple is having an event later this week, and you won't be surprised to hear that it's finally going to update the poor, neglected MacBook Pro. But rumors have suggested we're getting three new computers rather than one, and new trademark filings from Russia appear to confirm that. French site Consomac found documents from the Euraisan Economic Commission (EEC), the FCC equivalent for Russia and surrounding nations. The documents appear to show that Apple has received permission to sell three new portable computers, models A1706, A1707, and A1708. (more…) Trending right now: Report c…

DDoS attacks are of course nothing new, but last Friday's attack was unique insofar as it was incredibly massive and was carried out with a botnet not comprised of computers, but of Internet connected devices. We're now a few days removed from the attack and more information about how the attack was carried out is starting to emerge.

The Switch, as it has been dubbed, will be a hybrid console that you can connect to your TV or take with you on the go, but even though we learned a great deal from the preview video, countless other questions remained unanswered. Can the Nintendo Switch play Wii U games? How powerful is the Switch compared to the PS4 and the Xbox One? How long does the battery last in portable mode?

To briefly recap the situation yet again, Samsung launched its best ever smartphone this past August, but a defect caused a small number of devices to explode without warning. Samsung recalled the phone and issued replacements that were believed to be safe, but then they began to explode without warning as well. The company was left with no choice but to discontinue the phone and recall all handset…
