The OnePlus 5 is finally official, as is the fact that the phone looks like a high-end iPhone clone made in China. There’s no denying that OnePlus looked at the iPhone for inspiration when it comes to the OnePlus 5’s design, but also for smaller things like the user interface for the camera app. Even so, OnePlus mocked the iPhone design during its official presentation.

It gave the company an opportunity to talk about what […] Come comment on this article: OnePlus 5 is official, priced at $479 with no-compromise specs Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Samsung has a wide selection of exciting devices still set to launch this year, from the Galaxy Note 8 to the Galaxy S7 Active, but if recent leaks are to be believed, there's another, far stranger phone coming to the market as well.

Like many other companies in the automotive industry, Michelin is looking far into the future to envision what its products might look like some day. The result is a new concept tire that not only looks a good bit different from the rubber currently wrapped around your wheels, but is also completely airless. Michelin calls it the Vision tire, and it really has to be seen to be believed. Continue reading...

When the Model S was first released a few years ago, one of the biggest hurdles Tesla had to contend with centered on 'range anxiety', the fear or belief that a Tesla out on the open road was liable to run out of juice before reaching its destination or a charging station. To help assure prospective buyers that they didn't have to be afraid of becoming stranded, Tesla had the foresight to start rolling out a Supercharger network that allowed Tesla owners to charge up their cars free of charge on long drives. What's more, Tesla's Supercharger stations have the ability to charge a Model S or Model X relatively quickly, with a station being able to provide a car with 170 mil…

The results of Consumer Reports' annual Telecoms Survey are here, and the results are not remotely shocking. Once again, big cable companies achieve low scores in nearly every category. People hate the companies, hate the customer service, don't think it's particularly worthwhile, and find it's unreliable. Mysteriously, small, non-traditional cable companies like municipal broadband providers or Google Fiber score much better when providing the same kinds of service. A more cynical man would probably draw the conclusion that cable companies are abusing regional monopolies to shameless rip consumers off, but that could never happen in competition-paradise America, right…

The Fitbit Charge 2 is by far our favorite device that Fitbit makes. It’s the perfect balance of style, size, and features.

Right now, the Charge 2 is being discounted on Amazon, which means it’s the perfect opportunity to see for yourself what makes this fitness tracker so great. The Charge 2 is on sale in both small and large sizes, and you’ll find some highlights from the product page below.

Despite garnering a ton of plaudits when it first launched, the Galaxy Note 7 turned into a total disaster that culminated in Samsung issuing a global recall for the handset.

Eager gadget fans are focused on the upcoming unveiling of the next-generation OnePlus 5 later this morning, and it's shaping up to be one of the hottest new flagship phones of the year. As impressive as the new OnePlus handset seems in all the leaks and reports, however, it's not enough to draw too much attention away from the iPhone 8. Apple's tenth-anniversary iPhone will be the biggest new release of 2017 by a massive margin. The more we learn about Apple's upcoming new iPhone 8, the more anxious we get for mid-September to finally arrive so we can finally see Apple take the wraps off its latest and greatest iPhone. And if the iPhone 8 ends up looking anything like th…

Honestly, I love my AirPods. The concept is fantastic, the cordless design is a breath of fresh air, and the sound quality is so much better than you might think if you’ve never tried out a pair. I haven’t used any other headphones since I got my AirPods, and most other people who have actually managed to get their hands on AirPods also love them. But Apple just can’t figure out how to build them quickly enough to meet demand — it’s been six months since they were released, and the shipping quote on Apple’s website is still at six weeks. If you want AirPods and you want them right now, order them on Amazon. They’re in stock and eligible for free Prime delivery, which m…

We've all seen the sales figures for the iPhone — hundreds of millions of devices selling with shocking regularity, leading to a total sales number north of one billion phones since its debut in 2007 — but the figures are so gaudy it's hard to even put it in perspective. A new report from the Wall Street Journal does a pretty stellar job of this by showing how the iPhone not only compares with other now iconic products from the Barbie doll to the Sony PlayStation, but also how Apple itself has evolved since the iPhone's launch.

Google achieved excellence in 2016 with the release of its first phone in which both hardware and software were created equally. The Pixel is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.

It seems like just yesterday we were watching Rosie putter around on The Jetsons, wondering if there might ever really come a day when robots do our bidding.

The iPhone 8 is going to be the most exciting new iPhone this year (or next), featuring a brand new design that will bring some interesting features not seen before. One of them is an almost bezel-free display that will occupy the entire front side of the device. That means users will get a large screen in a body that will closely resemble the current 4.7-inch iPhone. It also means Apple will likely increase the screen resolution to account for the extra height. But because the iPhone 8 is Apple’s flagship smartphone this year, it means the phone’s resolution has to be at least on par with the resolution of the Plus models, if not better. A new report that BGR can corr…
