T-Mobile is rolling out a buy-one-get-one-free deal on LG's current flagship phones, the LG G6 and LG V20. Provided you meet the terms and conditions of the deal, T-Mobile will give you a rebate for the second phone you buy -- meaning you're essentially getting two Android flagships for $250 each.

Samsung's in a precarious position. It needs the Galaxy Note 8 to be a success, given the way the Note 7 debacle went. But it's launching just weeks before Apple is slated to unveil the iPhone 8, a supposedly massive upgrade that people have been waiting years for. Even if Samsung comes out with a great phone, competing with the Apple fanboy equivalent of Steve Jobs' second child is going to be tough. So Samsung is apaprently going to go all-in to persuade people to pull the trigger on the Note 8 before they even get a chance to set eyes on the iPhone 8. Continue reading...

One of the best new Android features Google imagined was launched last year, on paper. The company unveiled Instant Apps at Google I/O 2016, a bold dream of running specific apps on phones and tablets without the user having to actually install them. But Google certainly took its time to deploy Instant Apps, and many people soon forgot it even exists. That’s probably why Google wants to remind Android fans and developers that no less than 500 million devices support Instant Apps. Continue reading...

The iPhone 8 will be released in about a month but we already know what it’ll look like thanks to a recent Apple leak that confirmed all the design renders we’ve seen lately.

It’s a design compromise Apple simply could not avoid, however, and in this post I’ll tell you why. Continue reading...

Next week, Samsung fans in various markets will likely be able to preorder the Galaxy Note 8. At least, according to several leaks we've seen. Some reports even claim the phone will be available in stores in the States, which wouldn’t be surprising considering that Samsung wants to sell as many Galaxy Note 8 units as possible before the iPhone 8 arrives. But a new report from China brings the bad news we expected: The Galaxy Note 8 will be rather expensive, likely reaching prices that approach or even match Apple's upcoming iPhone 8.

As with anything involved with the murky science behind alcohol and drinking, whether to add water to your whiskey has long been a contentious topic. Some people swear by drinks on the rocks, others won't touch anything that's not neat. But one group of scientists have now published a paper that lends some reasoning to adding at least a few drops of water to your whiskey. According to their paper, diluting the whiskey and lowering the alcohol content enhances the smell and taste, which -- assuming you're sipping and not taking shots -- is good news.

After the Los Angeles Police Department flirted with the idea of adding a slew of Model S vehicles to its fleet, the Grand Ducal Police in Luxembourg recently decided to actually follow through. According to a report originally posted on Electrek, the Grand Ducal Police are planning to purchase two Model S vehicles that will be used as everyday patrol cars. This is a point worth stressing given that electric vehicles used by other police departments aren't typically used for everyday policing. In fact, the LAPD was mainly interested in using the Model S as a high pursuit vehicle as opposed to a patrol car meant to be used day in and day out. Continue reading... Tren…
