The new Moto G5 Plus is one of the most hotly anticipated phones out there right now. No, it’s not a high-priced flagship phone with bleeding-edge specs — believe it or not, not everyone looks for those things in a new phone. Instead, it’s a beautifully designed metal smartphone with terrific features, a nice big screen, a solid camera, killer battery life and a shockingly low price tag. If you’re not a savvy early adopter, that last sentence just so happens to cover every single one of your priorities when shopping for a new smartphone. Lenovo’s Moto G5 Plus is set to be released next Friday, March 31st, and anyone can pre-order one right now starting at just $229.99 …

Samsung on Monday confirmed what we had already suspected: the Galaxy Note 7 will return to stores. The company will replace the faulty batteries with new ones, and sell the premium handset for a more affordable price. Samsung is looking to dispense of the massive Galaxy Note 7 stock it has on its hands, and environment advocates including Greenpeace have played a major role in pressuring the company to kick off an official resale program. Unfortunately, American buyers excited to buy a cheaper, fixed Galaxy Note 7 will not be able to get one. At least not from the States. Continue reading...

Have you noticed lately that just about every gadget on the planet these days now supports Amazon Alexa? Of course, the logic here isn’t really much of a mystery. Alexa is one of the hottest trends in tech right now because it’s smart, it’s reliable, it’s versatile, and it’s available for free to third-party companies. Just like Google does with Android, Amazon lets anyone and everyone bake Alexa into their devices, which is great for consumers because they can use one common voice platform to control all of their devices. Of course, older devices don’t have Alexa support, which is why nifty gadgets like the iHome iSP8 Wi-Fi SmartPlug exist. Plug the iSP8 into any wall…

Tomorrow is shaping up to be one of the most exciting days of the year for Android fans, but today is the most exciting day of the year for us. Why? Because today is the last day we have to worry about Galaxy S8 leaks. Tomorrow the S8 and S8+ will finally become official when Samsung unveils them on stage during its big Unpacked press conference in New York City. Of course at this point, it seems highly unlikely that there will be any surprises left. We've seen the leaks, we've read the rumors, we know the specs, and we've watched the videos. As a result, there's probably almost nothing Samsung can tell us that we haven't already heard before. In fact, the only questio…

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the wait is almost over. We are less than 24 hours away from seeing Samsung take the wraps off of its new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ smartphones. Look, let's not beat around the bush: no other Android phones that launch anytime soon will be able to touch Samsung's new flagship phones. They feature bold new designs that are nothing short of stunning, and they pack specs that blow every other smartphone out of the water. How do we know all this if the Galaxy S8 and S8+ haven't even been announced yet? These new phones also just so happen to be the worst kept secrets in the industry. We've seen dozens upon dozens of leaks at this point,…

There's no shortage of theories about what Mars was like billions of years ago. The prevailing guess is that water was abundant, and there may have even been enough to form huge oceans. New research into an existing geographical feature on the red planet could provide new evidence of not only the existence of a massive body of water, but also an astroid impact that could have generated multiple devastating tsunamis.

Dinosaur discovery news doesn't find its way to the mainstream all that often these days, simply because it's hard for scientists to sell each individual fossil find as unique or notable. But when researchers in Australia discovered an ancient footprint larger than anything humanity has ever seen, well, that's a whole other matter entirely. The find, which is detailed in a newly published paper by Dr. David Salisbury, is one of many discoveries made by the research team working in an area of Australia dubbed "Jurassic Park."

A driver of a Tesla Model X recently got into a serious accident after his crossover SUV rammed into the back of a semi-truck. While photos of the crash site are harrowing, the driver reportedly emerged with no serious injuries aside from a "stiff neck", according to a post from Electrek. What makes the aforementioned crash rather interesting is that the driver claims that Tesla's famed autopilot software was responsible for the collision while, at the same time, claiming that the car's numerous safety features helped save his life.

The Galaxy S8 leaks have been at an all-time high this month, and for good reason. Samsung was unable to unveil the handset at MWC 2017 as initially planned, and the company must be anxious to start selling the handset. The Galaxy S8 will be the first major smartphone launch following the Galaxy Note 7 debacle, and a quality test Samsung must pass. Samsung already explained a few times that it’s taking battery safety testing to a whole new level, stressing the importance of product quality going forward. With that in mind, a new report shares more details about a feature we should have seen coming. Continue reading... Trending right now: NASA just captured a …
