http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6a7ab683258f9af32c49066e8034fff0.jpg There was a point in time where the only operating systems worth considering on a laptop where Microsoft's Windows and Apple's Mac operating system. But those days are now long gone. Google's Chrome OS can handle work and play just as well as any Mac or Windows machine, and they offer One big benefit over their rivals: They're much more affordable. Amazon has a sale going right now that will save you up to $30 on 13 different already-discounted Chromebooks, dropping prices into "you'd be insane to not take advantage of this deal" territory. For example, Samsung's hot Chromebook 3 notebook…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/68358169eedc694a7b71368c476fb752.jpgJust a few days after Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised to deliver a more robust and safer version of the company's Autopilot software, a new report claims that the fatal Model S accident in Florida earlier this year may not have been the first Autopilot-based fatality. According to a report out of China (originally spotted by Electrek), a Model S driver from Hong Kong may have been killed in an Autopilot-related incident this past January. In a harrowing crash that was captured via the driver's dashcam, we see a Model S driving at a high-speed crash right into a parked street sweeper on the side o…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/32417115595c8e82418694fc1febb8e0.jpgIt’s the Wednesday before the new iPhones launch, which means we’ve got two days to go until we learn even more details about them. The first teardowns usually arrive right after the new iPhone is released, and they reveal some of the iPhone manufacturing secrets that Apple never shares. Teardowns of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will bring definitive answers to several questions. We’ll know exactly how much RAM each iPhone 7 Plus has, whether the iPhone 7 would even fit a dual-lens camera, and what new waterproofing technology Apple is using. The new A10 Fusion chip will also be inspected ca…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/32417115595c8e82418694fc1febb8e0.jpgWhen Samsung triumphantly revealed in its Galaxy Note 7 presentation that the phablet will have a 3.5mm headphone jack in the process, and made fun of Apple’s unreleased iPhone 7 in the process, I said that I’m fairly confident that Samsung will soon copy the iPhone 7. Like it or not, the 3.5mm headphone jack has to go, and companies like Apple have to be at the forefront of such changes so that others follow suit. Well, it didn’t take long for the first Samsung rumors to claim that the company is exploring ditching the 3.5mm connector. (more…) Trending right now: 25 tips and tricks …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7afe0b730f51c9f15df3c2378d707f4e.jpgThe Galaxy Note 7 recall soap opera is far from over, as Samsung still has a lot of work to do to deal with this mess and clear its name. Reports on Tuesday said that Samsung is looking to limit the maximum battery charge of the phone’s battery to 60%, to diminish explosion risks.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/95d98ccf71574958aff54b3ae8e41f7b.jpgSamsung’s unprecedented Galaxy Note 7 recall is a nightmare for the company, and its effects will not disappear anytime soon. More and more reports detail instances where the brand new phablet exploded either during regular use or while charging. And with each Galaxy Note 7 going off, the company is losing more money. The company recently urged US buyers to bring in their faulty units at once and announced that the first replacements units would be available in Australia starting next week. On top of that, Samsung has decided to stop promoting the Galaxy Note 7 on TV, at least in Korea, until …

The company has already begun a "heartbreakingly" expensive recall, but that's not the only solution. The AP reports that in South Korea, Samsung will be issuing a software update for anyone who doesn't want to immediately exchange their Note 7. The update will limit battery charge to just 60%, which should solve the exploding thing at the expense of battery life.

The two phones might look nearly identical to last year's models, but with updated cameras, faster processors and a missing headphone jack, there are plenty of significant changes to attract potential upgraders. There's also a new accessory—AirPods—which have been far more divisive than the lack of headphone jack so far.

Since then, we learned that the Nexus line is dying, as the two devices will be called Pixel and Pixel XL.

The biggest improvement for photographers is the ability to take RAW photos, which lets you save all the data from your camera sensor in an uncompressed format. It's great if you want to do serious editing to your photos after the fact, but it has one major caveat: if you shoot RAW, your iPhone is going to fill up fast. Really fast.

Chevrolet yesterday announced that its new 2017 Chevy Bolt comes with an impressive 238 miles of range on a single charge. Notably, this represents about 23 more miles of range than what Tesla’s entry level Model 3 is expected to deliver when it begins shipping late next year. The Model 3 is said to sport 215 miles of range, but more expensive configurations may include longer range options.
