Update, May 15, 2020 (04:30 PM ET): Originally, TCL only gave us a vague idea of release dates for its new TCL 10 series of smartphones. Now, though, we have a more specific date for at least two of the phones in one area of the world.
According to GSM Arena, the TCL 10 Pro and 10L will hit stores in North America on May 19. As stated below, the two phones will cost $449 and $249 respectively.
What is Dash? It’s a cryptocurrency. At its simplest, Dash is a form digital cash you can send over the internet to a friend or retailer without a middleman like a bank.
Dash began its journey in 2014 and is currently the sixth largest cryptocurrency in the world by market cap — behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, IOTA, and Ripple. But how is it different from Bitcoin, what are its advantages, and how much does it cost?

Amazon took $30 off the Fire HD 8, lowering the price of the base model to $50. The Fire HD 8 sports an 8-inch display and offers 16 GB of storage. The discount is only available for around eight more hours. As heavy-handed as the Amazon software might be, the Fire HD 8 still stands as one of the better Android tablet options out there. The recent $30 price cut lowers that great option to $50, but you will have to be quick— the discount is only available for around eight more hours.
Well that didn’t take long. Developers are already porting Oculus Rift exclusive games to the rival platform HTC Vive virtual reality headset. As you probably know, the launch titles for both VR units contain a few overlaps, but, like Xbox and Playstation, each platform also has its own exclusives not available on the other platform. Well, until now, that is.

After months of waiting, Galaxy S8 owners across the globe might just receive Bixby Voice in advance of the Galaxy Note 8 launch next Wednesday, with multiple app updates rolling out as of yesterday. While Samsung has yet to enable Bixby Voice functionality across the board, the code should now be in place for when the time comes. Some users in Germany (although not me) are reporting the ability to use dictation with Bixby already and at least one user was told Voice would be enabled on August 22.
Google announced the promotion of Chrome 31 to the stable channel, available to general users.

The Galaxy Note 8 is almost upon us and while there’s certainly the familiar release excitement in the air, there’s that niggling feeling in the back of many minds about how people are going to reactive to the successor to Samsung’s infamous exploding smartphone.
As much as we all want to look past last year’s mishap to the no doubt impressive piece of hardware Samsung is about to announce, there’s a lingering question about how consumers and pundits alike are going to react to the upcoming announcement, and whether or not this will have any impact on the sales of the new Note 8.

Flutter is an app development platform that works with both Android and iOS. With one set of code, app developers can create and release apps for both operating systems at the same time. This will hopefully lead to a less fragmented Android experience. One of the biggest issues Android faces is fragmentation. With hundreds of manufacturers creating thousands of devices with different display sizes and hardware capabilities, it’s difficult to control anything in regards to the operating system and its apps.
Comic book and movie fans have probably dreamed of becoming Professor X – without the wheelchair restriction – at one point in time, if only to get a taste of the mutant leader’s ability to control people and objects with his mind.
It seems tech companies have been listening to our childhood fantasies and are developing technology that will enable us to tap into the power of our brain – albeit not at the same out-of-this-world level.
Android Studio 4.0 represents a rather large update for the IDE and offers a lot for devs to get stuck into. Perhaps the most exciting new feature is the “Motion Editor.” This feature is designed to help developers create more attractive, animated layouts. This can significantly improve the UI of any app, and now it’s considerably less fiddly to do!
