Google Assistant’s Snapshot now focuses on your important tasks based on the time of day. It also recommends podcasts, recipes, and restaurants. You’ll get upcoming birthdays in the future. Google has updated the daily agenda feature to summarize the most important tasks at the top, with the Snapshot now changing based on the time of day and how you’ve interacted with Assistant in the past. You’ll get your news, to-dos, and weather if you’re just starting out the day, for example.
There are plenty of mid-range phones that Samsung have brought out in the last couple of months. If for some reason you have your eyes set on the Galaxy S2 Plus, here’s the latest on its availability in Finland.
Finnish retailer gigantti.fi is selling the Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus for €378. Since it’s the I9105P model, it’ll come with NFC on board. For now, only the dark blue variant is up for grabs, while the white version will reportedly hit shops next month.
Samsung has now unveiled the SE-218CB external disc drive, providing a DVD burner solution for ultrabooks and driveless Macs. Interestingly enough, there is even support for select Android devices as well.
Before you get too excited, no you won’t be able to burn content from Android. If you happen to have a tablet with a USB port you will be able to read movies and data from the drive on your Android device, though.
We’ve known for a while that RadioShack is planning to announce its own Cricket-powered No Contract Wireless service. Now, it’s finally official. RadioShack will launch the service on September 5th. Again, we aren’t surprised, but it’s nice to have official confirmation.
Initially, RadioShack Wireless will only carry one feature phone and one Android smartphone. The feature phone is the Huawei Pillar QWERTY for $39.99. As for the Android device, we’re looking at low-end Huawei Mercury Ice will cost $149.
Google’s groundbreaking Fiber service went live last week and it already began to change the lives of residents of Kansas City. For instance, a couple bought a family home in one of the Fiberhoods (area where Google deploys the Fiber service) and turned it into a startup incubator of sorts, where budding entrepreneurs can establish their “offices” to take advantage of the crazy fast 1Gbps internet access.
But Google Fiber provides more than internet access at blazing speeds.

Since January 2017, you could book an Uber ride right in the Google Maps app. The feature has now been removed with no explanation from either Google or Uber. Going forward, to book an Uber ride, you will have to use the Uber app. Previously, you could look up a route for a ride-sharing trip and compare pricing from various services, including Uber. If you decided that taking an Uber was what you wanted, you could book the ride right in Google Maps (assuming you set up the integration with your Uber account previously).

Huawei has revealed the AI Cube smart speaker. The Google Home and Amazon Echo rival has built-in Amazon Alexa and can be used as a 4G LTE router. The AI Cube was unveiled at IFA 2018 — pricing and exact availability have yet to be confirmed. Huawei is jumping headfirst into the smart speaker market with the Huawei AI Cube, announced today at IFA 2018.
Unlike the Google Home, Amazon Echo, and other leading smart speakers, the AI Cube — which, let’s face it, is quite clearly a cylinder and not a cube — is being marketed as a “two-in-one speaker” which, in addition to packing in Amazon’s Alexa AI for voice commands, can also double up as a 4G LTE router.
TL;DR
The base Samsung Galaxy S22 will have a glass back, according to a leaker. This claim comes after the vanilla S21 was the only S21 model to have a plastic back. One of the more controversial tweaks for Samsung in recent years was the introduction of a “glasstic” back on some flagship phones, being plastic that’s meant to feel like glass. On the one hand, the material should survive a drop better than glass.
Apparently, the cell phone industry is now trying their best to tap into the emerging market of… 5-year-olds? On Friday, Sprint introduced the WeGo, which is a cellphone that is designed for kids from the age of 5 to 12.
The design of the phone is straightforward. There is one button on the front for making calls, two buttons on the side for scrolling up or down through approved contacts, and a “ring on a string” which the child can pull if they feel like they are in trouble.
