Rumors have been swirling ahead of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9 launch about a wireless charging pad known as the Duo, and now Amazon has all but confirmed this unreleased product. As the name should imply, the Samsung Wireless Charger Duo is capable of charging two devices simultaneously , whether that’s the upcoming Note 9 and Galaxy Watch , or a pair of older mobile devices like the wireless charging-capable Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S9 .

Currently in beta, the official launch of Android P has been on the approach for a while now, but according to trusted leaker Evan Blass, we might not be waiting for much longer. In a Twitter post that could hardly be considered subtle, Blass tweeted an image of an August 2018 calendar where the August 20 box is marked with a green P.Given the leaker’s track-record with smartphone-related reveals, we have to assume that Blass has inside information regarding the release date of Google’s highly a

The Moto Z3 release date is August 16, and that’s also when you’re be able to buy the world’s first 5G-upgradable smartphone, according to Verizon and Motorola. Moto Z3 will be able to tap into Verizon’s budding 5G network with a forthcoming 5G Moto Mod accessory. So far, we’ve seen the Moto Z3 smartphone, and when combined with the 5G Moto Mod, it should benefit from expanded bandwidth, higher speeds and lower latency. That’s when we may see the Moto Mod 5G accessory launch, although Motorola h

Electric bikesFor all the hype, electric cars and self-driving cars don’t address the single biggest problem with cars: they’re astonishingly wasteful both in terms of the resources needed to make them and the space they take up. E-bikes and scooters don’t require the charging infrastructure of electric cars, don’t require the road space of electric cars, and are much more amenable to hire-and-ride apps. Tesla was experimenting with wireless power at the end of the 19th centuryWhat do e-bikes, e

Apple is the first company to reach the long sought-after $1 trillion market valuation, making it the first company on record to ever reach the mark. While Apple was hovering just beneath the historic 13-figure number since late July, it wasn’t until earlier this morning after stocks rose 2.7% to $207.05 – the highest in company history – that it became official. For what it’s worth, Apple’s trillion-dollar debut comes during one of the company’s highest heights in terms of products. The path to

The new Avengers Hero Inventor Kit allows budding programmers to become their very own superhero character by making high-tech gear with wearable sensors, an LED matrix light design, and Marvel sound effects. LittleBits’ first wearable is a clear plastic gauntlet that serves as the baseboard for the other components to attach to, and it’s fully customizable with a removable sheath, stickers, and slots for cardboard add-ons. The company’s founder and CEO, Ayah Bdeir, said: “From creating circuits

Last year’s Moto Z2 Play and Moto Z2 Force launched around this time last year, and the Moto Z3 Play recently made its debut. The new Moto Z3 Play fits into the mid-range smartphone market, but the premium Moto Z3 Force should complete the family. The Moto Z3 Play is out now, and the Moto Z3 Force is launching in AugustThe Moto Z3 Play is out now, and the Moto Z3 Force is launching in August What will Moto Z3 cost? $499 (about £380, AU$630) for Moto Z3 Play and likely $720 (about £550, AU$903) f

With Things Gateway, you connect your smart devices to the web and give each one a URL, then control them all using a single, simple web interface.

This is already easily possible, but Arcade 1Up has made it simpler and more accessible than ever with its $299 (about £225, AU$400) cocktail-sized arcade cabinets. What’s old is new againThese Arcade 1Up cabinets are clearly capitalizing on the retro gaming fever currently underway, thanks to Nintendo’s re-released NES and SNES consoles. Back in the arcade heyday, each cabinet was specifically designed to best present the game inside. This is Arcade 1Up’s best solution: include just a few games

We now have our first look at Life is Strange 2, the next installment in DontNod’s episodic narrative video game series – and things got hairy pretty quickly. The first Life Is Strange was a surprise hit when it first landedon Steam back in 2015, putting players in the shoes of a troubled teenager with the ability to manipulate time. Stranger thingsThere’s not much else to go on, but our first thought is some sort of telekinesis, vis-à-vis Eleven in Netflix’s Stranger Things. Given that the youn

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1180 may have just been spoiled again, as a new photo rumored to depict GPU’s printed circuit board (PCB) has just leaked. What you see below is the our second ever look at what could be the rumored Nvidia GTX 1180 courtesy of a Baidu poster. Some online outlets suggest the GTX 1180 might feature as much as 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM, but we find this highly unlikely. Comparatively, the current Nvidia GTX 1080 only needs to pull power through one 8-pin power connector, so we may h

The Microsoft Store is packed with great apps specially optimized to run on Windows 10 devices, but there’s so much choice it can be hard to know which are the best. Free office suites are hard to come by in the Microsoft Store (understandably, since Microsoft is keen to push Office 365 subscriptions). There are relatively few VPN options available in the Microsoft Store, and Hotspot Shield is one of the most trusted names. It’s very simple to use, and although the free version isn’t useful for

It’s no secret that kids are under a lot of academic pressure these days, and private tuition is often seen by parents as a great way to increase their children’s chances of success. However, a new report suggests the latest boom area for private schooling isn’t maths, English, or another academic subject – it’s Fortnite. Why would parents want to encourage their children to stay inside and play video games all day? Ally Hicks, who paid for a Fortnite tutor for her 10-year-old son, told the WSJ:

We already know that the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will launch of August 9, but it appears that the South Korean firm has quietly confirmed the release date for its new phablet as well. The signs comfortably point to the Galaxy Note 9, and there a few benefits to reserving the handset before it’s even announced. Which is a pretty huge hint that the Galaxy Note 9 release date is August 24 – just over two weeks from its launch event. This suggests that Samsung Galaxy Note 9 pre-orders may not open unt

That’s interesting, because June’s figures showed Intel was in the lead with a 55% market share, and it has been dominating with its 8th-gen processors since the start of the year. The obvious drivers are the fact that AMD has some tasty new Ryzen 2nd Generation processors on offer, which are finally making more of an impact, plus it has discounted the prices of its various Ryzen chips (particularly the original offerings, in the light of the 2nd Generation launch, of course). The fact that AMD

The Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro are out, but Huawei isn’t done with flagships for the year. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is sure to be an expensive phoneThere also aren’t any price rumors, but the Mate 10 Pro launched at £699 / AU$1,099 / $799, so we’d expect the Mate 20 Pro will cost at least that much. Huawei Mate 20 displayOne early rumor pointed to the standard Mate 20 featuring an in-display fingerprint scanner, and if the Mate 20 has one the Mate 20 Pro should do too. We’d expect this newer ch

The Huawei Mate 20 Lite – the smaller, less-featured version of the expected Mate 20 – has been spotted on a Chinese certification site. Not a lot to seeThe two rear cameras are protruding, so we can assume they’ll be of decent quality. We don’t have many rumors of the Mate 20 camera spec, but if it has three sensors like the P20 Pro, this will be a step down. The Huawei Mate 20 Lite launch date will likely be around October this year – so stay tuned to find out more. Image 1 of 4 All images cre

Nikon is continuing to tease its upcoming full-frame mirrorless camera with the launch of a new video. At just over 30 seconds long, the video charts the legacy of the company’s famous F-mount lens mount. Starting with the original Nikon F SLR camera from 1959, a series of models flash past until we reach the Nikon D5, the company’s flagship DSLR. The video then fades to black before revealing a very low-key profile shot of the new mirrorless camera. The video is supported with the caption: “Eve
