The one thing we know for sure is that Sprint and Niantic plan to make a joint press announcement on Wednesday, December 7 at 11:30 a.
We are thrilled to announce that we’ve launched a new sister website and YouTube channel. The name is Sound Guys and the focus will be on the latest, greatest and just plain coolest audio gear.

We’ve been keeping tabs on Dyzplastic’s series of mini Android collectibles over the past few weeks, and now the time has come. The Android Mini Series 03 collectibles are finally available for sale via blind box, and we’ve got a preview showing what you might end up getting.
While you can’t be sure what you’ll get, it’s sure to be awesome. Some of the possible figures include Sir Knightly Bild, Whoogle the Owl, Pandroid, Professor Skully McRivethead, Escape Ape, 8-Ball Hustler and Nexus, who carries a tiny, non-working Nexus phone.
Among the trends we see year in and year out at CES, is the tendency for companies to make “smart” products that don’t really need to be smart. “Better living through data”, we’re told, as the smart toothbrushes, smart locks, and smart sex toys are shoved at us. But is that really the case? We don’t think so. It seems a little cliche to dunk on weird smart gadgets, but the annual electronics show in Las Vegas has become synonymous with ill-conceived smart tech in recent years.
If you’re anything like me, you spend a huge portion of your day working at a computer monitor. Whether you’re a streamer, a writer, or planning logistics for a multinational corporation, you’re always at your computer.

If you’re a Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL owner on AT&T‘s network, you’re getting an update soon. The update weighs in at a beefy 531.7 MB and brings a host of changes to your phone.

When computer hardware company Razer acquired Nextbit earlier this year, it promised that Nexbit would “operate as an independent division […] focused on unique mobile design and experiences.” Those experiences may now be coming to fruition, as a report from Bloomberg suggests the company is working on a new “mobile device” targeted at “hardcore gamers.”
Seemingly, Bloomberg‘s sources didn’t disclose specific details regarding the device, but given Razer’s pedigree, it’s likely to be a high-end gadget that boasts powerful performance and graphical capabilities.
The newly announced Galaxy Alpha is a bit of curious animal, combining high-end specs with a mid-range-spec’d smaller display and offering up a metal frame that departs from Samsung’s traditional plastic-heavy design language.
It’s still unclear whether the Alpha will continue on as a third flagship line in the future, alongside the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series, or if the Galaxy Alpha will be a one-off product that never sees a formal successor.
The Ubuntu smartphone, a new challenger in the mobile ecosystem, won’t be arriving anytime soon. One of its OS features, however, is a side panel that has caught our attention among other parts of the unique touch-based user interface. Luckily for us and other Android users, that side panel can be previewed via an app called Ubuntu Phone Experience.
Hats off to the developers at XDA on this one! They have emulated the side panel as an app that works quite well on just about every Android device.
