http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ddbc19f945d2d4d62f64bbbd91001222.pngThis has been an exciting week for Nintendo fans. Not only did the company finally unveil the Nintendo Switch, it also released a demo for Pokemon Sun and Moon on 3DS. The demo is fairly short, offering just a glimpse of what the full game has in store for gamers, but hackers have made the most of the demo's files.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/06000cdb4b4b43868a77b5c414f1e174.jpg The revolutionary new Portal home Wi-Fi router is so impressive that BGR named it one of the most innovative products shown off at CES 2016 earlier this year. Considering that thousands upon thousands of products are on display each year at the world's largest consumer electronics trade show, that's no small feat. Now, the wait is almost over and the dead spot-killing, "turbocharged" Wi-Fi router from Portal is finally available for preorder on Amazon.

Leading researcher says iPhone 7’s A10 Fusion chip ‘blows away the competition’

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/35da7a8d2a10497a4e70e28e9fca5e8f.jpgApple famously has hundreds if not thousands of in-house engineers who work on chip design and the group's work is becoming increasingly more impressive with each new iPhone release. Getting right down to it, the new A10 Fusion chip that powers Apple's iPhone 7 is an absolute beast. While new iPhone models are always faster than their predecessors, Apple really outdid itself with the A10, both in terms of overall performance and power efficiency; as we were reminded in a new showdown on Friday, the iPhone 7 crushes leading Android phones.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/1499b08a75fe4838111189499421e94c.jpgSteve Martin and the late, great John Candy were in their prime when they made Planes, Trains and Automobiles together, and it was easily one of the best comedies of the late 1980s. Unlike the movie, however, Samsung's potentially explosive Galaxy Note 7 smartphone is no laughing matter. The FAA banned the Galaxy Note 7 from all flights earlier this month, and international aviation agencies have since followed suit. Now, the Note 7 has also been banned from all Amtrak trains and even from thruway busses at stations where Amtrak operates. (more…) Trending right now: This is why your i…

Clad in hoodies and low-riding hats as to hide their identity as best they could, the group of individuals circled around an iPhone display table and systematically cut all of the security cords before snagging 19 iPhones and fleeing the premises on foot.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7d49729eb83ba8f763099643a9c7d9c4.jpgSamsung's Galaxy Note 7 may be toast — literally and figuratively — but Android fans have a new pair of flagship phones to lust after this holiday season. Google's first ever "made by Google" smartphones pack cutting-edge specs into a somewhat unique design, giving shoppers what most early reviewers believe to be a viable alternative to Apple's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. We know the Pixel phones feature the latest and greatest features Android has to offer, and we also know that they pack some serious power on paper. By how do those impressive specs translate in the real world? Is the Pixel a…

Netflix’s selection of movies in the US is embarrassingly bad

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/325c5c809d4d19089bcb99f68518b1cb.jpgNetflix may be the best place to watch original programming, but if you're a movie buff in the United States or the UK, Netflix doesn't really have a whole lot to offer you. Thanks to Netflix's increasingly laser-like focus on developing original content, the streaming giant hasn't been afraid to say goodbye to expensive licensing deals with movie studios expire. As a prime example, Netflix last year opted not to renew its deal with Epix, and in turn lost thousands of films, including blockbuster hits like The Wolf of Wall Street and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

You grab your iPhone or Android phone, of course, and you check for the latest posts on Twitter. Next, maybe you dig into Reddit to see what happened overnight. Then you hop in the shower and stream some music from Spotify. Except on Friday morning, you had trouble doing any of those things.

Google Cardboard showed us that VR doesn't have to cost a lot of money, but there are also slightly higher-quality options that offer an even better experience without costing much more at all.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9c851cd5cbbfd07b97ab70f7bc8a1a24.jpgGoogle's new Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones were released on Thursday and diehard Android fans were excited. In fact, unlike Nexus phones from Google, the new Pixel phones even managed to generate some interest outside the enthusiast crowd thanks to the recent cancellation of Samsung's Galaxy Note 7. Android users are in search of a new star now that Samsung's most recent flagship phone is more than seven months old, and Google's first self-designed handsets could be just what the doctor ordered.

In fact, putting a Pawbo Interactive Wireless Pet Cam & Treat Dispenser in your home means that your dog or cat will probably have more fun when you're away than when you're there.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9c386058f0bf8523341be2fdeb9fc09f.jpgFor the first time this year, Apple went with two different providers of cellular modems in the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Some phones have Qualcomm modems, the company Apple has worked with for years. The others had Intel modems, marking a real breakthrough for Intel, which has been trying to get its chips into flagship smartphones for years. Unfortunately, testing is showing that there's a big difference between the two modems. Although both will work just fine when there's a good LTE signal, it seems that if you've got an Intel modem, your data speed in areas with less-than-ideal coverage may be …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/8574cd3e20d98e589b83c9e0bd04f622.jpgWhen Nintendo unveiled the Wii U at E3 2011, I was baffled. Sitting in the back row at the Nokia Center in Los Angeles, I distinctly remember that I started laughing out loud, because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. As in, I literally didn't know what it was that Nintendo was trying to announce. Was it a new console? A hardware upgrade for the Wii? Some kind of supersized portable device? I, along with countless other gamers, couldn't wrap my head around the Wii U, but as a Nintendo fan, I was more concerned about the games than the hardware anyway, so I decided to reserve judgment. …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/0d0fb9cc460279d6dcc50c64592e67f1.jpgAfter adding a new rose gold color to its iPhone lineup just last year, Apple came back with not one but two brand new colors when it launched the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus last month. While rose gold was a flashy addition, 2016's new colors are both far more subdued. We've got a deep matte black color called simply "black," and a glossy new jet black color that almost has a mirror finish in some lighting. They're both sleek and stealth, and they're believed to be two of the most desirable colors among users. But if you decided to go black this year, your work isn't done until you complete th…

But as it happens, the 32GB model is much slower than the bigger models at a number of real-world tasks.
