If there’s one thing that we know about OnePlus, the Chines smartphone startup that took the world by storm a few years ago, is that it likes to drive up hype around its upcoming products. We’re used to seeing plenty of teasers in the weeks leading up to a new product launch to reveal tiny details about that product. The OnePlus 5 should launch soon, and while OnePlus has not revealed an actual release date for the phone, it certainly teased it more than a few times in the past few weeks. That’s why we’re hardly surprised to see the company “leak” a first OnePlus 5 camera sample. Continue reading... Trending right now: T-Mobile is having one of its biggest ev…

Network speed comparisons often aren't kind to Sprint. Among the big four carriers, Sprint has a nasty habit of coming in stone dead last on average speed and coverage, while longtime rival T-Mobile has been competing with Verizon for the top spot. So you'd think that Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure would be glad to be ranked above T-Mobile's bombastic John Legere for a change. But when the competition is to be the third-most-hated CEO in America, I'm not sure Sprint or Claure will be glad to have won. Continue reading...

If you think the battery life on your Google Pixel XL is impressive now, wait until you get your hands on an ICONIC Google Pixel XL Battery Case. This well-reviewed case fits perfectly on your phone and adds a whopping 5,000 mAh to the Pixel XL’s already sizable 2,770 mAh internal battery. Depending on your usage, the two batteries will combine to let you go for as long as three days without having to plug in your phone to charge. The typical $60 price on Amazon is more than fair for a case that’ll give you that kind of battery performance, but use the coupon code 46EEXWF7 at checkout between now and June 30, and your price will drop to just $47.99. Here are a few key …

The MacBook Pro update that you were waiting for arrived last fall, complete with a brand new design, a new signature feature, and a complete lack of ports that you’d expect on a $1,800 computer. It wasn’t all you wanted, but it still became a massive success for Apple, according to various reports. But if you haven’t bought one yet, then you might be better off not clicking that “buy” button just yet. WWDC 2017 is just around the corner, and it looks like the MacBook Pro is going to get a refresh already. Continue reading...

With almost all flagships phones coming out in 2017 being equipped with the Snapdragon 835 processor, at least in the U.S. and other non-Asian markets, it is no surprise that Qualcomm is already working on the successor which appears to be the Snapdragon 845 for 2018 flagships.

Laptops aren’t what you’d call gaming-friendly devices, especially Apple’s MacBooks. Not even the MacBook Pros can handle the graphic requirements of the best games out there. And while you can buy a laptop made for gaming, these devices won’t also feature the same slim design you’d be looking for in a laptop. But this week, Nvidia has unveiled technology that will allow device makers to include GTX 1080 GPUs without sacrificing design. In theory, Nvidia’s Max-Q tech would let even Apple add gaming capabilities to the MacBook Pro. Continue reading...

NASA has a whole bunch of fancy hardware checking out several of the planets in our solar system, including Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn, but astronomers do most of their observations of our sun from here on Earth, or at least nearby. A new mission is going to change that in a big way, and NASA is set to reveal details regarding its immediate plans to fly a spacecraft directly into the star's atmosphere shortly.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and gamers of all shapes and sizes, it’s time to meet the tiny little box of your dreams. The insanely popular NES Classic Edition was recently canceled. It’s true that you can still grab one on Amazon for a premium, but there’s actually a much better mini console that’s about to launch. Meet the Hyperkin RetroN 1 HD Gaming Console for NES, a tiny $40 box that looks just like the retro NES Classic. The difference between the two boxes is huge though — the NES Classic only plays a handful of old games, but the RetroN 1 can play any NES cartridge on the planet. It’s set to launch this Friday, June 2, so you should definitely order on…

There's two new designs emerging for touchscreen laptops these days: the tablet-first form factor, like Microsoft's Surface, which has all the guts in a single tablet with an optional add-on keyboard; and the more traditional laptop style, but with a 360-degree swivel hinge. The Surface style tends to pSush the touchscreen and a stylus more, while the convertible design has the touchscreen as an afterthought. But Samsung doesn't seem to have got the memo that laptops should choose between one style or the other. Continue reading...

Tiger Woods was arrested earlier today on suspicion of DUI in Jupiter, Florida. The 41-year-old, once stellar golf superstar has been sidelined for some time following a string of back injuries and operations. His most recent surgery was a success according to Woods, and while he's prohibited from even twisting his upper body for the next few months, he still plans on making a pro golf comeback. As CNN notes, it's unclear if Woods actually tested positive for any intoxicating substances, but his arrest brings with it a pretty serious question nonetheless: exactly how bad is this mugshot?

The Galaxy S8 may not be able to beat the iPhone 7 and iPhone 6s in speed tests, but it still delivers remarkable performance. The phone is the first one to offer users new 10nm chips from Qualcomm and Samsung, the same kind of chip technology that will be found in various other flagship handsets this year, including the iPhone 8. But chip manufacturing process is only part of the story. Sure the smaller chips get the more efficient and the faster they become, but these mobile chips are all based on ARM designs. So whenever ARM releases new chip designs, it’s good news for smartphone lovers. Continue reading... Trending right now: New leaks show the iPhone 8 des…

With Tesla's final Model 3 reveal set to take place sometime in July, we won't have to wait long to see what the final version of Tesla's highly-anticipated mass market EV is going to look like. In the interim, Tesla a few days ago released an updated product sheet comparing the Model 3's specs to the Model S. In doing so, we were able to glean a treasure trove of information about what the Model 3 will bring to the table. For example, we learned that the Model 3 won't be anywhere close to as fast as the Model S, hardly a surprise given the car's $35,000 price tag. Specifically, the Model 3 will feature a 0-60 MPH time of 5.6 seconds. As far as range is concerned, the ent…
