Pixel and OnePlus buyers typically switch from Samsung phones

[ad_1] Not surprisingly, many of those Samsung users (31 percent of all Pixel 3 buyers) were coming from the Galaxy S7, a device roughly two years old. Counterpoint also found that 14 percent of Pixel 3 buyers were coming from Motorola handsets, while 15 percent of OnePlus’ shoppers previously used LG devices. These aren’t completely […]

RED finally ships the $1,600 titanium Hydrogen One

[ad_1] At long last, RED is shipping the titanium version of its Hydrogen One phone. It promised the variant when it announced the handset in 2017, and took pre-orders for that version at the full $1,595 cost. When RED delayed the titanium model last September, it sent those who pre-ordered it the aluminum version, and […]

Google Assistant offers livelier search results on Android

[ad_1] Other upgraded searches include stocks (you’ll see a stock performance graph), financial calculators, color pickers and even a bubble level. Those searches that do revolve around basic web links will also show up in a mere elegant vertical format that’s better suited to your phone. You should already see the new results now. There’s […]

Google’s lower-cost Pixel 3a phones surface on official sites

[ad_1] The smaller Pixel 3a, “Bonito,” would have a 2,160 x 1,080 display, while its larger 3a XL counterpart (“Sargo”) appears to have a taller 2,220 x 1080 screen. That’s slightly odd when renders and pictures have suggested that neither phone would have a notch, but it wouldn’t be completely surprising. Both handsets would also […]

The tiny Palm phone is no longer just a sidekick

[ad_1] And yes, Palm is using this as an opportunity to improve some of the phone’s other sticking points. Software updates should extend the battery life as well as improve the camera’s color accuracy and low-light shooting. It can even take HDR photos, which isn’t something you’d expect from a device this compact. The stand-alone […]

Mystery Motorola phone could pack four rear cameras

[ad_1] There aren’t many more details at this stage, but there would be a 6.2-inch display with a teardrop notch for the front camera (no hole-punch display this time around) as well as an in-screen fingerprint reader. It’s not going to be a budget phone, then, even though it might not cost as much as […]

Verizon has a phone plan for kids, complete with parental controls

[ad_1] There are some definite caveats. While you’re not about to run into overage fees thanks to an on-by-default Safety Mode (which allows unlimited low-speed data once the 5GB runs out), your child will be stuck with 480p video streaming. Other perks like tethered data aren’t included, either. On top of this, you can’t get […]

Google stops selling the Pixel 2 and 2 XL

[ad_1] The move might not come as too much of a surprise. Google discounted Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL over Valentine’s Day, seemingly as part of an effort to shift some of the remaining stock. It removed the original Pixel from its store around this time last year, also about 18 months after announcing […]

LG G8 ThinQ will be available in the US April 11th

[ad_1] Whether or not it’s worth the savings over the S10 will likely depend on just how much you like LG’s rather unusual priorities. You don’t get a telephoto lens or 8GB of RAM (‘just’ 6GB) for the money, but you do get party tricks like in-the-air hand gestures, an OLED display that doubles as […]

NBC shot an entire episode of the ‘Tonight Show’ with the Galaxy S10+

[ad_1] This isn’t the first time a tech giant has taken over at least some portion of a nighttime talk show, and it also isn’t the Tonight Show‘s first stab at sponsored segments. It’s really just the logical extension of streaming’s effect on TV advertising. When the audience can avoid most (if not all) commercial […]
