We were already suspecting that the OnePlus 5 will be launched at some point this summer, but a new report finally confirms it. The Chinese smartphone maker will indeed have a new OnePlus handset in stores in the coming months, and the name of the device is OnePlus 5. On top of that, the first blurry image showing the alleged new OnePlus handset has also leaked. Continue reading...

The iPhone is one of the most desired smartphones out there, and this happens every year with every new model that Apple launches. But the iPhone 8 is probably the most anticipated iPhone release in years, given that Apple is rumored to prepare a massive design overhaul for the iPhone’s 10th birthday. Most rumors say Apple wants to offer buyers a premium iPhone 8 device that will pack a few features that were never before seen on an iPhone, with some of them representing massive breakthroughs for the mobile business. These innovations are widely expected to delay the launch of the phone, according to most recent reports. That’s why the following story is pretty puzzling. …

Amazon’s Echo Dot is the cheapest way to put Alexa in any room of your house. Of course, putting Alexa in "any" room isn’t the same as putting Alexa in "every" room. Those Echo Dots add up quickly when you buy them in bulk, but a special Amazon sale will let you spread Dots around your home without breaking the bank. From now through the end of the month, you can use the promo code DOT3PACK to save $20 when you buy three Echo Dots in either black or white. That effectively drops the price to just over $43 a piece, which is Amazon’s lowest price of the year so far. Here are some key details from Amazon’s product page: Echo Dot (2nd Generation) is a hands-free, voice…

It's been a few years since we've seen Apple enter a brand new hardware category, but that may change in just a few weeks once WWDC gets underway in early June. According to a research note from Ming-Chi Kuo that was circulated widely last week, Apple has been busy developing a Siri-based product designed to go head-to-head with Amazon's Echo. Even better, Kuo says there's a 50% chance Apple will introduce the device at Apple's upcoming developer conference. The device will reportedly incorporate Beats audio technology and will deliver premium-level acoustics. Continue reading...

Samsung makes smartphones that run Android and smartphones that run Tizen. It makes watches and TVs that run Android as well as watches and TVs that run Tizen. It makes notebook computers that run Windows and notebook computers that run Chrome OS. In fact, Samsung even makes an Android smartphone that can power a desktop computing experience and run Windows virtually. Since the company insists on working with every operating system it can get its hands on, it stands to reason that Samsung would also fragment its virtual personal assistant offerings. The company's fresh new flagship Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ gave the world its first look at Bixby, and they also ship with…

It's been over half a decade since Japan's Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant suffered a catastrophic meltdown due to the effects of a tsunami which struck the island nation, but scientists are only just now confirming its far-reaching effects. After conducting the first worldwide survey to measure the ultimate radiation exposure caused by the reactor meltdown, researchers at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research finally have a figure on exactly how much extra radiation humanity was exposed to.

Since pretty much everyone over the age of 12 has a smartphone these days, home phone service has become less and less important. In fact, many people only have home phone service because it gets them a discount on pay TV and internet. If you really think about it though, it is pretty nice to have an option with high-quality voice service that doesn't have any dead spots. VoIP over a broadband connection will always sound better than cellular voice, after all. Well, today is your lucky day because we're going to tell you how to get free home phone service for life so that you don't have to argue with your cable company every year when they try to hike the price of your…

Back in February, we learned from a security researcher that various iOS apps can secretly leak login data and other personal information to hackers that know how iOS works, and how to take advantage of various flaws.

When Elon Musk introduced the Model 3 last year, the excitement was palpable; hardly a surprise given that Tesla enthusiasts had been waiting years to see what the company's more affordable version of the Model S was going to look like. And with a pricepoint of just $35,000, reservations for Tesla's mass market EV began skyrocketing almost immediately. Continue reading...

Earlier this week, we told you about a big sale Amazon is running on refurbished Echo speakers. $134.99 is a fantastic price for a certified refurbished (and warrantied) Amazon Echo, but some people prefer to stick to brand new devices. There's no problem with that, of course, and we have some great news for you. With Mother's Day right around the corner, Amazon just slashed the price of its brand new Amazon Echo speaker for the first time this year. From now through the end of the day on May 13, Amazon is chopping $30 off the price of a new Amazon Echo speaker in either black or white. That drops the price of the top-of-the-line Amazon Echo down to $149.99, which is j…

Google’s Chrome OS is absolutely obliterating Windows in the classroom right now, to the point where Microsoft had to build a new lightweight version of its Windows 10 operating system. This way, Windows computer makers can offer lower-cost laptops aimed at the education market. Google-powered Chromebooks still have the momentum though, and it remains to be seen whether or not Microsoft’s Windows 10 S will slow Chrome down. Of course, Chromebooks are great outside the classroom as well. Chrome is so much faster than Windows, and it’s perfect for emails, web browsing, video streaming, and plenty more. If you’re looking for a powerful Chromebook that’s still affordable c…

Every Marvel movie has one or two post-credits scenes to provide an epilogue to the movie you just watched and set up the next big Marvel adventure, but Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn had to one-up everyone with Vol. 2. Rather than the standard one or two scenes, Gunn included five post-credits scenes in his new movie, most of which are jokes, but one of which is vitally important. Continue reading...

The iPhone 8 is good news for various component suppliers who live and die by Apple’s orders. The device is expected to pack a bunch of new features that require specialized hardware — that’s why the phone is rumored to see launch delays of up to two months. But it appears that Apple is also shopping for other suppliers when it comes to smartphone components we’re used to seeing in today’s phone. And that means one more Apple suppliers will feel the pain of losing iPhone orders. Continue reading...
