When that’s the case, you should make sure you’re working with a bright, powerful monitor like the Acer R240HY widescreen monitor.
The Acer R240HY packs well thought out design features into a slim and convenient package.
The Nokia 9 PureView is HMD’s flagship release for 2019, but it was a rather disappointing device. Between last year’s flagship silicon, and a polarizing penta-camera setup, it could’ve been so much better.
HMD is apparently working on a follow-up, dubbed the Nokia 9.1 PureView, and it was previously claimed that this device is set to launch later this year. Now, the Nokia Anew Twitter account has claimed that the new flagship has been delayed to Q2 2020.
If you’re a Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL owner on AT&T‘s network, you’re getting an update soon. The update weighs in at a beefy 531.7 MB and brings a host of changes to your phone. The most significant change in the update is pushing the phone from Android 8.0 to Android 8.1. But, that’s not all. You’re also getting access to features like HD Voice Calling.
How Enhanced HD Voice makes your calls crisp and clear
When computer hardware company Razer acquired Nextbit earlier this year, it promised that Nexbit would “operate as an independent division […] focused on unique mobile design and experiences.” Those experiences may now be coming to fruition, as a report from Bloomberg suggests the company is working on a new “mobile device” targeted at “hardcore gamers.”
Seemingly, Bloomberg‘s sources didn’t disclose specific details regarding the device, but given Razer’s pedigree, it’s likely to be a high-end gadget that boasts powerful performance and graphical capabilities.
Sony is apparently planning to extend the SmartWatch family with more models and is already looking for suppliers in Taiwan for the product, says Digitimes.
Whenever we cite Digitimes, we have to offer this caveat – the Taiwanese publication got a lot of things right over the years, but they messed up in just as many cases. This is probably because Digitimes often issues reports based on hearsay, which seems to be the case with today’s post.
The newly announced Galaxy Alpha is a bit of curious animal, combining high-end specs with a mid-range-spec’d smaller display and offering up a metal frame that departs from Samsung’s traditional plastic-heavy design language.
It’s still unclear whether the Alpha will continue on as a third flagship line in the future, alongside the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series, or if the Galaxy Alpha will be a one-off product that never sees a formal successor.
Sprint has started rolling out the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for its LG G4 variant. The update brings in all the goodies of Marshmallow to Sprint LG G4 owners, and bumps the software version to LS991ZV9.

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.
The Ubuntu smartphone, a new challenger in the mobile ecosystem, won’t be arriving anytime soon. One of its OS features, however, is a side panel that has caught our attention among other parts of the unique touch-based user interface. Luckily for us and other Android users, that side panel can be previewed via an app called Ubuntu Phone Experience.
Hats off to the developers at XDA on this one! They have emulated the side panel as an app that works quite well on just about every Android device.
If you have been looking for a more serious app to meet your photo editing needs, then you may want to check out Adobe Lightroom Mobile, which has just landed on the Google Play Store.
