For those of you that aren’t familiar with Bitcoin, it’s currently the biggest cryptocurrency in the world. For safety reasons, users of the currency normally keep the majority of their bitcoins offline, like on an encrypted USB stick or even physically on a piece of paper. In this day and age, keeping as much information as possible offline can (in theory) lessen the chances of it being hacked.
So what’s safer than than encrypted hardware, or even a piece of paper?
Back in the day, frequent travelers had to rely on dull maps, vague telephone directories, and old hotel brochures to fulfill their traveling needs. Now, all one needs is an Android device and the power of the Google Play Store to get all kinds of handy apps that can assist a road warrior or a road ninja on his or her journey.
If you travel frequently and you own an Android device, then the apps below are worth checking out.
Samsung may be working on its own Padfone-like device that could be used as either a smartphone or a tablet, a new trademark application seems to indicate.
The Galaxy Hit may be Samsung’s first tablet/smartphone combo, as Samsung is apparently interested in this particular trademark, according to data available from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (see image below).
In the description of the filling, it’s clearly stated that the Galaxy Hit trademark is needed for a device that could be placed in multiple categories, including digital cameras, smartphones and tablet computers.
It’s been a while since we’ve heard any concrete details on the Motorola Razr brand’s long-awaited return as a folding smartphone. A new report suggests we won’t have to wait much longer, however, as the reimagined flip phone could hit the U.S. in just a “few months.”
The new details come from LetsGoDigital, which claims to have verified information obtained from an anonymous source (presumably from someone inside Motorola HQ). Aside from a few design tidbits, the biggest talking point coming from the report is the phone’s eye-watering price of $1,500.

While nothing is yet official, the Droid MAXX is quickly moving into focus.
In the past few weeks, Motorola has been making some impressive headlines. There’s the decision to release the Nexus 6 in China as the Moto X Pro, CEO Rick Osterloh’s recent Twitter defensive against Apple’s Jony Ive, and now another piece of news: the formerly Verizon-only Droid Turbo smartphone may be set for imminent release in India under the name Moto Maxx.
Because of the whole Galaxy Note 7 fiasco, some consumers are still scared that their smartphone will explode in their hands. LG wants to let everyone know that if they buy the G6, an incident like that will not happen.
Ahead of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ reveal, LG has decided to start promoting the safety of its batteries. The company took a few members of the press on a tour of its factory in South Korea where it showed them exactly how batteries found in the G6 are tested.
As you might remember, LG recently launched a new Android phone in Korea, called the Optimus LTE. What makes this phone special, at least from our perspective, is the fact that it is sporting to the world’s first 4.5 inch True HD IPS display, which quite a few industry pundits are saying is more advanced than Samsung’s latest Super HD AMOLED 720p 4.65 inch panel, featured in the upcoming Galaxy Nexus.

UE Boom 3 and UE MegaBoom 3 revealed at IFA 2018. Boom 3 priced at $149 and MegaBoom 3 priced at $199. Both Bluetooth speakers feature a new design and a physical button for playlist control. Smart speakers and digital assistants may be all the rage but sometimes a solid Bluetooth speaker with stellar sound and an attractive design is all you need to get the party started.
ZTE has had quite a busy 2017 so far. Back at CES in January, we were able to go hands-on with the new Blade V8 Pro, a budget-friendly smartphone with dual 13MP rear-facing cameras. Just two days later, the company announced the Blade V8 (without the Pro), which still offered great mid-range specs. Today, here at MWC 2017, ZTE is taking the wraps off two Android 7.0 Nougat-powered smartphones, the Blade V8 Mini and Blade V8 Lite.
