Samsung finally laid the speculation to rest and announced the Galaxy A9 (2018). As the earlier rumors suggested, the four stars of the show sit around back, as the Galaxy A9 (2018) features not one, not two, not three, but four rear cameras. Theoretically, so many rear cameras allow for an incredibly flexible photography platform the likes of which we have not seen before. But will that be the reality?

It’s CES time and Samsung is, as is the norm, showing off the bleeding edge in television technology. The company’s 2020 8K lineup is spearheaded by the Q950TS QLED 8K TV. The name might be a mouthful, but the television is absolutely nuts. The trend of diminishing bezels has spilled over from phones to televisions, and suitably, Samsung is calling this an Infinity Screen. The company claims that the 2.

Skagen has announced a new Falster smartwatch at IFA 2018. The Falster 2 comes with a heart rate sensor, built-in GPS, and NFC for payments. Basically, it fixes all our complaints with the original Skagen Falster. When Skagen launched the original Falster smartwatch at CES earlier this year, I was enamored, then torn.

An annoying, and somewhat humorous issue landed on Android phones this week: wallpapers that can soft-brick your phone. That’s right, a problem that has been around for years was brought to light and has made big headlines — considering it is near impossible to recover from the bug, we can understand the hype.
The issue has to do with the colorspace of an image. It’s not as simple as saying something like phones can handle .
Shopping for shoes is a little bit different than shopping for cloths. You wear shoes every day so it has to work with almost all of your cloths. Or, of course, you simply need more shoes. Additionally, people shop for shoes for different reasons. Athletes like shoes with good arch and ankle support. Fashion-minded folks prefer something that looks good all of the time.

The new Yoga Tablet 2 Pro comes roughly a year after the first-gen Yoga tablets and preserves its predecessors’ most interesting feature, the versatile kickstand. The Tablet 2 Pro is larger, at 13-inch, and the kickstand now has a hole that lets you hang it on the wall.
