Google has been criticized for its decision to limit the Pixel series to a handful of markets like the US and Japan. But a new report reveals that this approach is starting to pay off in at least one country: the UK. The Pixel 6 line pushes Google into the...

While AT&T and Verizon have generated quite a bit of customer frustration and negative publicity with their (not very) surprising recent decisions to increase mobile plan prices, both carriers have also happened to considerably step up their smartphone discounting game of late. In response to Big Red's revival (and expansion)...

Visible, the all-digital wireless carrier owned by Verizon, has quietly added eSIM support for a host of Samsung and Google Pixel phones. eSIM, the digital SIM that allows users to activate a cellular plan from their carriers without having to use a physical SIM, is one of the best things that happened in the mobile industry.

Starting with the 2020 iPhone 12 series, Apple started to ship its phones minus a power adapter and the wired EarPods. When pressed for a reason, Apple used the "Hulk" defense. In other words, it turned green and explained that with the smaller boxes it would be able to fit 70% more boxes on a shipping pallet. Apple says that this will reduce yearly carbon emissions by 2 million metric tons, equivalent to taking 500,000 cars off the roads.

You might remember that late last year we told you that the team behind the Essential Phone had created a new smartphone brand known as OSOM (but pronounced "awesome"). The phone is called the OV1 (OSOM Vault 1). OSOM is an acronym for "Out of Sight, Out of Mind." As you might be able to tell, the OSOM OV1 is focused on privacy.

Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest man, who thinks tunnels are immune to natural disasters, is purchasing Twitter. The company confirmed on Monday afternoon that it had accepted the billionaire’s offer. “Twitter, Inc. today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an entity wholly owned by Elon Musk, for $54.20 per share in cash in a transaction valued at approximately $44 billion,” reads the official press release. “Upon completion of the transaction, Twitter will become a privately held company.”

Jeff Bezos, the founder and former CEO of Amazon, and Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and soon-to-be owner of Twitter, don't strike me as best buds. The two men have competed over the past few years for the title of the world's richest man, a title Musk holds. They also sort of compete in space, with Bezos' Blue Origin competing against Musk's SpaceX.

Even though we're still most definitely several months away from Samsung's next big Unpacked product launch event, the world's largest smartphone manufacturer doesn't appear to have done a much better job than usual keeping the protagonists of said shindig a secret. Of course, you can never be 100 percent certain...

Qualcomm has just announced its next pair of chips for mobile. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is here to push the envelope just that much further — an absolute beast of a SoC that is here to power the next generation of over-the-top premium Android devices. Update: we tested...

The next exciting Quarterly Pixel Feature Drop should take place on Monday, June 6th. For those who can't wait, Google offers Android 12 QPR3 beta 3. At this point though, it really wouldn't be worth joining the Android 12 QPR beta program especially since the final version of the update is on the horizon, and installing the beta has caused the Android Launcher to suffer from a new bug that prevents the user from searching for the apps on his phone.

Leaked in the flesh after not weeks and not months but entire years of idle speculation and empty hopes and dreams, Google's first-ever own-brand smartwatch FINALLY went official last week. Unfortunately, instead of a proper announcement and full pre-release details, virtual I/O 2022 attendees only got a "preview" and a...

Good news. New budget OnePlus phones are here, and it looks like they offer some pretty good value for money. These are the OnePlus Nord 2T and the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite. While the latter already made its debut in India less than a month ago, the Nord 2T is a whole new device.

Samsung, I choose you! It surely seems like someone over at Samsung has a strong affinity for Pokémon. After the Galaxy Z Flip 3 received its own reimagining by drawing inspiration from the hugely successful franchise, the Galaxy Buds 2 are now also receiving a similar treatment, according to Sammobile.

Vivo has made a name for itself by creating smartphones that offer brilliant camera experiences, nice designs, and snappy software experiences. Now the company is back with its latest flagship model — the Vivo X80 Pro. The Vivo X80 Pro’s most exciting feature is the fingerprint scanner. Some...

The iPhone 13 was the third best-selling smartphone of 2021 despite only being on sale for three months, so it’ll come as no surprise to hear that Apple’s device is off to an extremely strong start in 2022. The iPhone 13 dominates the smartphone market. Analyst Francisco Jeronimo...

Among the most popular Android tablets in the US, Amazon’s Fire 7 series is getting refreshed this month. The US giant has just announced the next-generation Fire 7 and Fire 7 Kids tablets, which promise to bring even more value for money. Both affordable Android tablets offer double the...

Apple just released a witty new ad titled 'Data Auction', designed to throw yet another dagger at the heart of data hoarding ad networks relying on building sophisticated profiles based on users' online behavior or preferences. We don't know if it was shot on an iPhone 13 Pro or not, but the cinematic feel and production values sure make for a grand effect.

Production of iPhone 14 series' display panels will start next month but one supplier that will not have to worry about meeting deadlines is BOE. Apple procures the majority of its smartphone displays from Samsung and LG. BOE entered the supply chain for Apple's iPhone in 2020 and this year it was expected to supply OLED units for the 6.1-inches iPhone 14.

Apple is never afraid to drop features from their devices that they perceive as archaic. We have seen the company ditch all ports on the MacBooks in favor of USB-C, remove chargers from the box and even abandon the headphone jack on the iPhone. In hindsight, this seems like a...

The Chinese tech giant's growth has nearly stalled out.
