Maybe I’m a tech masochist with a passion for frustration and struggles, but somehow I always find myself volunteering for these sorts of experiments – the kind you never really expect to work out as advertized. I’ve tried replacing a PC with a Chromebook, an Android tablet and even an iPad. So when Samsung said the Galaxy Note 8, and the S8 before it, can be combined with DeX to “leave your computer behind”, I just had to find out if it’s true.

Withings Steel HRWithings really hit the nail on the head with the Steel HR. It's accurate, affordable, comfortable enough to wear all day, and downright gorgeous. It doesn't offer GPS tracking though, and the digital display can be pretty hard to read outdoors. If you can get past those few caveats, you should absolutely check out the Withings Steel HR. In the fitness tracking world, Withings has been making headlines as of late; not just for its health and fitness products, but also because it has a new parent company.

2017 was a big year in Android apps. We saw a huge push into new territories and technologies. Some companies bolstered the options in existing spaces. In other words, new stuff is better and the old stuff is better too. The biggest trends this year were video streaming, combining services, weather apps, and spiting Google for not releasing the Pixel Launcher to the masses. We’re totally okay with all of those things.

Eric Zeman / Android Authority TL;DR HMD has launched the Nokia XR20 in India. The rugged smartphone costs Rs 47,000 (~$624).

Back in October, Madfinger Games released the highly anticipated Dead Trigger 2 to Google Play, delivering a gaming experience that featured quite a few improvements over the original — even if many folks resented the presence of in-app purchases. Now a reasonably good game is getting even better as version 0.2.5 has now hit Google Play bringing 50 new game plays including new African environments, redesigned warfare rewards and so much more. Besides the new content, a big focus of the update seems to be re-balancing zombie difficulty and basically tweaking the game in ways that should make it much more enjoyable to play.

As first spotted by 9to5Google, it seems we can add another feature to the list of items that continue to blur the line between Android and iOS. According to documentation related to the “MotionEvent” function of Android Q, there will be support for something called “deep press” in the future version of the mobile operating system. Android Q now has app-switching gestures exactly like iOS (Updated) News The documentation says that “the current event stream represents the user intentionally pressing harder on the screen,” and that deep press should “be used to accelerate the long press behavior.

The HTC One M9 is definitely one of the most well-designed smartphones of this year, so wouldn’t it be great if we could see what exactly goes in to making a phone like this? The folks at iFixit recently tore a One M9 to shreds, revealing tons of adhesives and a glued down motherboard. Much like the One M8, the One M9 didn’t require any heating whatsoever to remove the back panel.
