If you’re in the market for truly wireless earbuds, you’ll almost have too many choices to pick from. Just about every major manufacturer has tried their hand at wireless buds, and tons of new and upcoming brands have put their hat in the ring, too.
Today we’re testing out some affordable earbuds from 1More, a smaller company focused on audio products. These are entry level but still pack in all the features you expect, which makes them a pretty tempting option.
The Microsoft Surface Duo folding phone in August 2020, bringing the company back into the cell phone game after the failure of Windows Phone. We had questions and concerns, however, and the least of which was availability.
One of the best parts of the Google Play Store is the ability for OEMs to update components of their software separately from a full system update. Catch a bug in your Mail app? Just push the update to the Play Store and save the full system build for the next major update, easy.
While not everyone takes advantage of this, Samsung looks like they’ll be moving to the Play Store for GPU updates for their next phone, which is going to be a major improvement for frequent mobile gamers.
Nubia Red Magic phones are getting pretty well known these days, especially if you’re into the mobile gaming scene. They typically feature high-end hardware and some useful extra features, but Nubia wants to take that a step further and make the designs really stand out in the crowd.
Google’s YouTube Music transition from Google Play Music has been bumpy at best. YouTube Music still isn’t the best streaming service on the block and still hasn’t fully replicated GPM’s features, and a big one that’s missing is annoying Sonos owners.
The single-purpose Amazon Kindle tablet doesn’t capture headlines quite like Amazon’s other devices, but that doesn’t mean it won’t get upgrades every once in awhile.
The newest rumor comes from an updated Amazon store listing that hints at a new regular old Kindle reader, and it might have an upgraded screen to make that reading even better.
Raptic is a new brand that was formerly known as X-Doria. We’ve had some good experiences with the brand in the past, and they’re best known for smartphone cases and accessories.
They’ve branched out a bit with their new Raptic brand, and we’re taking a look at the Rise Headphones Charging Stand. It’s a standard old headphones stand that you can prop up your favorite pair of cans, but it also doubles as a wireless charging stand for your phone. Two birds with one stone, or useless gimmick? Let’s find out.
The next high-end phone from OPPO has leaked, confirming what the company will bring into 2021. We’re getting a pretty good insider look at the OPPO Find X3 Pro, which packs 5G connectivity, premium cameras, and the brand new Snapdragon 888 CPU.
This may come as a surprise to some people, but… you can’t use your original Samsung Galaxy Gear forever. I know, I know, it seems like just yesterday Samsung was releasing their goofy smartwatch-with-a-camera in 2013, but all good things must come to an end.
According to the Samsung Members app, some of Samsung’s older smartwatches and fitness trackers will stop working with newer phones.
Now that smartphone processors have gotten ridiculously powerful, it’s time to start tweaking the software to take advantage of all that extra horsepower. The Snapdragon 888 is so, so overkill for growing the web and playing mobile games, which is why we’re seeing an increased focus on things like increased multitasking. Cue Motorola teasing a desktop mode for its smartphones, throwing things back to the original Motorola Atrix that kind of already did this, albeit very poorly.
Huawei hasn’t had a great time lately. The pandemic this year didn’t help, obviously, but even before that they were struggling due to trade restrictions from the US government. It looks like that’s finally starting to take a toll on Huawei’s global smartphone shipments, and things are starting to take a turn for the worse.
Google has long flirted with the idea of their own successful social media network. Obviously Google+ began and ended as a terrible dumpster fire (we did at least get Google Photos out of it, to be fair) but they’ve also thrown in a few social media type features into their other products over the years. Looks like Google Discover is next on that list.
Samsung is no stranger to staying at the forefront of technology, and they’ve long been a leader in display manufacturing. That paid off with the recent launch of foldable phones, which has seen Samsung take the crown from, well, pretty much everyone. They’re really one of the only manufacturers consistently making good foldable phones early on.
It helps that Samsung also owns their own display manufacturing division, although it looks like Samsung Display might have tipped their hand about the next round of folding screens and phones.
Nothing says the holiday season like having to constantly clean up because you’ve got people coming over, or people just left a mess. The current global pandemic might be putting a damper on that, but that doesn’t mean that you won’t still need a decent vacuum.
We had a chance to check out the 360 S7 Pro Robot Vacuum, a LiDAR powered smart vacuum cleaner that promises to quickly (and quietly) clean your floors. Let’s see if it’s worth the cash.
See that image above? That’s not two phones on top of each other, that’s the incredibly strange LG Wing.
The phone flips around, giving you two screens on top of each other that are fully functional. It’s a bit of a shoot off of the latest round of folding and two-screen phones that we’ve seen lately, even from LG’s own Dual Screen line.
So of course we had to take it for a spin. Let’s see if this incredibly strange device is worth it in our LG Wing Review.
