T-Mobile is spreading the Android 12 love to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 5G

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.

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)...

Analytical firm Canalys reports that smartphone shipments in North America rose 3.7% year-over-year during the first quarter of 2022 as 39 million units were delivered during the first three months of this year.

Additional details on the Galaxy Z Flip 4’s battery size have emerged. As the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is approaching its release, more and more rumors about the much-anticipated foldable are circulating on the internet. One of the biggest hot topics is the purported battery size of the device,...

So, Qualcomm just announced the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 — a slightly upgraded version of the flagship 8 Gen 1. At first look — it "only" offers a 200 MHz bump in peak performance, which is pretty easy to scoff at. But Qualcomm cited huge improvements in efficiency, which is where the Plus' power is really at.

Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest man, who thinks tunnels are immune to natural disasters, is purchasing Twitter.

Tesla has started underwriting auto insurance. Buffett previously said he would bet against any car company becoming a big winner in the space.

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.

Your iPhone may be susceptible to threats even when powered off, researchers at Germany's Technical University of Darmstadt have found. When the iPhone is turned off, most wireless chips, including Bluetooth, Near Field Communication (NFC), and Ultra-wideband (UWB), keep running for up to 24 hours. This way, the phone still remains locatable via the Find My network and you are still able to access items like credit cards, student passes, and digital keys.

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.

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.

For a company consistently ranked outside of the world's top five smartphone vendors, Lenovo-owned Motorola has sure been getting a lot of attention lately with its extensive family of competitively priced mid-rangers and a potentially exciting flagship comeback story. Granted, a large chunk of this attention comes from the US,...

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...

Qualcomm introduced its first-generation of augmented reality (AR) prototype platform based on the Snapdragon XR1 platform a little more than a year ago. It was specifically designed to provide users with an immersive experience in a headset or smart glasses device, which could be connected to a smartphone or Windows PC/laptop.

While Garmin's extensive smartwatch portfolio might seem confusing and unnecessarily convoluted at first glance, especially compared with Apple and Samsung's market-leading lineups, the wearable industry veteran makes the target audience of each product family crystal clear in its advertising efforts. As their names strongly suggest, the Forerunner 55, 745, and...

Motorola’s latest entry in the Moto G Stylus series was officially introduced back in February and it’s already proven to be quite popular in the US. However, Verizon wasn’t able to add the mid-range phone to its portfolio until recently, so if you’re with Big Red, you’ll now be able to purchase one from your favorite carrier.

If you're a fan of Microsoft's popular line of versatile and productive Surface tablets but simply can't decide between the Pro 8 and Pro X models, it might actually be a good idea to consider the Pro 7 as well. Released all the way back in 2019, this 10th Gen...

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.

Even though the mid-sized Pixel 6a won't be released until July 28th (pre-orders will start on July 21st) an official unboxing video has been discovered on Reddit and was posted by Google Retail Training France. The video has since been removed from the social media site although we were able to find it on Streamable.com. The most scrutinized part of the video (which has been analyzed in detail as if it were footage from the Zapruder film) is when the under-display fingerprint scanner is employed.

Virtual reality has been “just around the corner” for well over a decade (actually, the first head mounted VR system was created and used back in 1968), and even though there were some serious advances over the past few years, it seems that the technology hasn’t lived up to its potential. Not just yet.
