It goes without saying, LG’s modular design efforts with the LG G5 failed big time. Consumers didn’t seem to be a huge fan of the modular design, and promises for making more modules available after the LG G5’s launch fell flat. Now, at CES 2017, LG announced for the G6 it’ll be moving away from […] Come comment on this article: LG will focus on “aesthetics and usability” for the G6 instead of modules Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Google officially launched its Daydream VR platform in November last year, but had very few phones that were ready to handle Daydream. The Pixel was, at first, the only option, although the Moto Z joined the Daydream-ready family soon after. But now Google is announcing on its blog a bunch of new phones getting the […] Come comment on this article: These new phones will join the Daydream-ready family soon Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

No, this isn’t a throwback post. There’s yet again a chance a merger between T-Mobile and Sprint actually happens in the future. The subject came up at CES 2017, and T-Mobile’s CEO wouldn’t deny the possibility despite insulting the competitor just minutes before. It brings us back to 2013-2014 when Softbank, Sprint’s parent company, began […] Come comment on this article: Sprint merging with T-Mobile remains possible, John Legere says Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

It wouldn’t be CES without new TVs, and we already saw a few compelling TV innovations at the show. One of them comes from Xiaomi, and it’ll certainly turn some heads this year. Chinese gadget maker Xiaomi announced the Mi TV 4 at the show, a TV set that comes in sizes up to 65 inches. It’s also thinner than an iPhone, or any other smartphone for that matter, which is quite remarkable. But then again, it's even not the thinnest new smart TV out there in Las Vegas this year.

Of all the questionable decisions that Disney made with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, none were more controversial than the one to digitally recreate Carrie Fisher and Peter Cushing as the 1977 versions of their characters Princess Leia and Grand Moff Tarkin. Some viewers were pleasantly surprised by their inclusion while others were confused and distracted, but there's no question that Disney got everyone's attention. Continue reading...

Among all of the Android phones on the market right now — and there are hundreds upon hundreds of different models out there all over the world — the hottest flagship phones on the market right now have to be the Google Pixel and Pixel XL.

If you own a Pixel or a Pixel XL, you undoubtedly want to protect that iconic design from scuffs and scratch…

CES 2017 has been the biggest year so far for the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. More than 175,000 attendees converged on the strip this week to be among the first to see what the world's top technology companies have to offer. Car tech took center stage for much of the show, which is certainly understandable considering all the disruption sweeping the automotive industry right now. Connected devices were a top theme once again as well, as the Internet of Things continues its shift from fantasy to reality. There was plenty to take in at CES 2017, and we had a blast checking out all of the exciting new gear headed to store shelves in 2017 and bey…

The bright minds at MIT are always cooking up new technologies, so to hear that they invented a new material that's stronger than steel isn't even all that surprising, but what's particularly interesting it that they managed to also make it far lighter than almost everything else.

After facing plenty of criticism for failing to release big-screen iPhones, Apple in 2014 finally released two new models that featured displays that were bigger than anything seen on an iPhone before. The iPhone 6 release turned out to be a supercycle for Apple, convincing many smartphone buyers to get an iPhone and helping Apple break new sales and profit records. The same phenomenon is expected again this year when the exciting new iPhone 8 is projected to convince more iPhone owners than ever before to get a brand new iPhone. In fact, analysts at Nomura expect a new supercycle for Apple this year that's unlike anything we've ever seen. Continue reading... Trendi…

Look, it's just a fact of life that sometimes if you want something popular, you've got to pay a little extra. This is especially true when it comes to popular new tech toys. The AirPods are one good example — they're impossible to find in Apple stores but you can score a pair right now on Craigslist if you're willing to pay a premium. An even better example, however, is the Nintendo NES Classic Edition. This little retro gaming console was by far the hottest tech gift of the holiday season, and it's still beyond difficult to find in stores. If you're willing to pay a little extra though, you can score a brand new NES Classic Edition on Amazon right now. Continue readi…

You might not be completely happy with iOS, but the iPhone’s operating system is probably one of the best and easiest to use in the world. It completely changed the smartphone landscape and directly influenced the trajectory of Android (which was shaping up to be a BlackBerry clone until Google changed it ahead of release to make it more like the iPhone). But the iPhone’s OS could have been a lot worse, a new leak indicates. Images and videos showing the “click wheel” iPod-based OS that at one point competed against iOS internally at Apple were published online Friday morning. Continue reading...

Samsung is expecting record profits for the fourth quarter of 2016, even though it had to deal with the most disastrous recall in its history. The Galaxy Note 7 was discontinued just a couple of months after its launch, as it continued to be a fire hazard for users. But that didn’t hurt Samsung’s bottom line as hard as one would expect. In fact, Samsung is about to post its biggest profit jump in three years, and it’s all thanks to its components business. Continue reading...

Intel’s latest invention is called Compute Card, and it’s a PC that you can carry around in your pocket. Intel made tiny PCs before, the Compute Sticks that you can connect to a monitor and enable a full Windows experience, but the Compute Card is even smaller than that.
