There are a lot of really cool Android Wear watch faces to choose from. However, the vast majority of them have a distinct… artificial feel to them. Without the physical hands and the metallic sheen that we see on real luxury watches, even the fanciest faces strike the eye as unnatural. That’s what’s interesting about Weareal. The best Wear OS watch faces for Samsung, Mobvoi, Fossil, and more watches

Lenovo’s tablets in its Smart Tab line are quite interesting. They’re decent tablets on their own but when you dock them they become more akin to an Amazon Echo smart display, powered by Alexa. At CES 2020, the company unveiled the newest entry in the family, the Lenovo Smart Tab M10. However, that’s not the full name of the device. The full, official name of the tablet is the Lenovo Smart Tab M10 FHD Plus 2nd Gen with Google Assistant.

In an industry where secrecy is the norm, LG is something of a contrarian. The Korean company likes to trickle out details of its upcoming flagships days, sometimes even weeks, in advance, and the LG G5 is no exception. The latest tidbit that LG is revealing about the G5 is a smart cover that’s “answering the age old question – what came first, the smartphone or the cover?” Metaphor abuse aside, LG’s Quick Cover is “designed specifically” for the upcoming G5 and comes with features like touch functionality that allows the user to take calls or silence alarms without opening the cover.

One thing I really hate about signing up with a two-year contract is not being able to change my phone when a new one comes out; especially if it is a lot better than the phone I’m currently locked with. With all this talk about NFC capability, it is understandable why there are so many people who are getting interested in joining this bandwagon. But if you’re like me who has to wait for another couple of years before changing your phone, what do you do?

If you have been hoping for a mobile game that offers the same kind of military real-time strategy gameplay that was found in the classic Command & Conquer PC series, your wishes have been granted this week. Publisher Kixeye has released War Commander: Rogue Assault, an ambitious mobile RTS game for Android and iOS. The team behind the game was lead by Louis Castle, the co-creator of the Command & Conquer franchise.

It looks like Apple is making some changes to allow content from its platforms to be shown on more third-party devices. Nowhere is that more evident than this week’s reveal at CES 2019 from Sony. In its press event, the company stated that its lineup of smart televisions, all with Google’s Android TV OS installed, will soon add support for Apple’s AirPlay 2 and HomeKit. In its press release, Sony said the update will be released later in 2019 for its Z9G Series, A9G Series, and X950G Series TVs.

Quite a departure from Angry Birds and its spin-offs, Rovio and DreamWorks have teamed up to bring you The Croods, which is available now via Google Play. Instead of flinging birds across the gamestage, the game is all about hunting and gathering while finding unique creatures along the way. While the ‘creatures’ are somewhat inspired by primitive-era mammals, they certainly have a dose of fantasy added in thanks to wacky looks and crazy names like “molarbear” and “girelephant”.
