Update, February 6, 2020 (3:38 PM ET): Thanks to leaker Evan Blass (@evleaks), we just caught a possible glimpse of the entire upcoming Motorola G8 lineup. This is the second design leak we’ve seen regarding these handsets. Blass’ image of the vanilla G8 backs up the previously leaked render as seen in the article below.
These pictures give us a look at both the front and back of the apparent Moto G8, G8 Power, and G8 Stylus.
Canonical, the company that develops Ubuntu, has made it clear that it set its target on mobile devices, working to make the Linux distribution as mobile-friendly as possible. Among other initiatives, Canonical has made the Google Nexus 7 a reference device for Ubuntu, to help developers optimize the distro for ARM touch-based devices.
Now, Canonical has released a tool to help users and developers easily install a full version of Ubuntu on the Nexus 7.
While the Nexus phone series has a lot of enthusiast, there are few models that have achieved the same level of attention as the original Nexus 5. Thanks it large part to its highly affordable nature, it opened up the flagship Android experience to a lot of new users. Even all these years later it still remains a very capable and popular phone among some circles. That includes the modding ring.

After a lengthy delay, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE made its official debut early this month. The phone doesn’t push the industry forward, but it does give fans a relatively affordable device option ahead of the Galaxy S22 series launch. But is that enough? Is the Galaxy S21 FE hot or not? We posed this question to readers in a recent poll, and the results are now in.
Get two tower defense games for the price of one! Developer 11 bit studios is celebrating “Anomaly Promo Week,” reducing the prices of Android games Anomaly Warzone Earth HD and its sequel, Anomaly Korea, to half for one week. Both games have a normal price at $4, which means that each game only costs merely $2 until Friday.
If the affordable price is not convincing enough, then perhaps the universal acclaim across multiple reviews (many of which praise the visually-stunning graphics and the superb gameplay) can persuade you to buy and download them now.
Google’s Chromebooks may have come under fire from student privacy groups recently, but there’s no denying that the push into the education sector has been a success for the company. Apple’s Tim Cook certainly didn’t seem very happy about Google’s lead in the classroom during a recently interview with Buzzfeed.
He avoided mentioning the Chromebook by name, but stated that the low cost computers used in schools were only proving popular because they were the cheapest option around for testing students.
If you’re tired of all the black slabs on the market, and want your phone to be a little more special, you can’t go wrong with the YotaPhone 2. Now the dual-display device becomes even more striking with the addition of a white color theme, a decent price cut, and an upgrade to Lollipop.
The second generation YotaPhone was launched in December of last year, packing decent, if not cutting-edge specifications and a unique 540×960 pixels e-ink display on its back.
Today, Amazon announces an update to their Silk browser. Available on their Kindle line of tablets, the browser is closely tied into Amazon’s ecosystem, as well as giving users a sleek way to browse the web.
In anticipation of their new lines of Kindle devices, Amazon has tweaked Silk to make it a bit more intuitive and easy to use. While much of the features are available on other browsers, Amazon’s choice to bring some to the forefront is interesting.
Unsurprisingly, the Chromecast has been rooted by a team of hackers who were apparently able to reveal that the device runs rather Android than Chrome OS, or better said a “modified Google TV release.”
Initially, Google said the device runs a stripped-down version of Chrome OS, but the GTVHacker crew thinks otherwise:
[quote qtext=”No, it’s not. We had a lot of internal discussion on this, and have concluded that it’s more Android than ChromeOS.

Disney Plus has plans for lots of new Star Wars shows over the next few years. They include two new spin-offs from The Mandalorian, Rangers of the New Republic and Ahsoka. More shows include one on Lando Calrissian and a series of shorts made by Japanese anime creators. The spin-off shows will be called Star Wars: Rangers of the New Republic and Star Wars: Ahsoka. Details about the series have yet to be revealed, although Rosario Dawson, who played the Jedi Ahsoka in season two of The Mandalorian, will return in that same role in the spin-off series.
