This follow-up to 2017’s solid-performing Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 passed through the Wi-Fi certification regulatory process this week, notes SamMobile. Previous leaks detail an iPad Pro 10.5 rivalThe Galaxy Tab S4 is being outfitted with Qualcomm’s chipset, which is fast for an Android tablet (though still slower than Apple’s speed dominating A

The Moto Z3 Play has popped up in a recent leak, showing off a new 18:9 aspect ratio display styling and a slight shuffling around in design. Compared to the Moto Z3 or Moto Z3 Force that will likely debut in July of this year, the one we’re seeing today is supposedly the Moto Z3 Play variant, and it looks like it matches a previous leak. As Moto usually does, what you’ll get in terms of specs within the Z3 Play depends on where you live. That aside, the Z3 Play looks like it will have the model

You can now use Google Assistant to control over 5,000 smart home devices, from dishwashers, doorbells and dryers to security systems, switches and sensors. That’s up from 1,500 supported devices back in January, and Google says the increase is down to the fact that it’s now partnered “with all major manufacturers of connected devices for the home in the US.” It’s worth noting the “in the US” part of the quote, as the number of supported devices outside of the States is likely to be lower, but i

If you’re regularly running out of charge on your iPhone X, then chances are you’re getting used to the need to constantly power it back up. Apple currently claims that its phones support fast charging to the tune of 50% in 30 minutes… but only with a lot of money spent on new accessories. The brick – the same as seen on the new MacBook – pumps out at least 29W of power to allow for the fast charging of the iPhone. The rumor also states that the USB-C lead that wouldn’t replace the Lightning c

Oculus Go is officially getting second-screen support, confirmed Oculus VR Chief Technology Officer John Carmack via a Twitter exchange with an excited Oculus Go user. That means that you’ll be able to cast whatever you’re seeing in the VR headset to a TV, tablet, and even phone.

Now, second-screen support is nothing new, as both the Gear VR and Google Daydream headsets already have the ability to stream

Microsoft’s spin on the Surface Pro with cellular connectivity is now available to buy in the US, Canada and Australia. The Surface Pro LTE was previously only available to business customers, but now anyone can get hold of the variant of the 2-in-1 with mobile broadband tricks up its sleeve. Sadly the Surface Pro LTE hasn’t yet graced the shores of the UK, but given the general release in these other major territories, it surely can’t be long before Microsoft brings it to this country. The othe

The HTC U12 launch date has been confirmed as May 23 by the Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer on its global and UK Twitter accounts. An image showing the components of a device with the date of 23.05.18 over them was posted along with the message “Coming Soon. A phone that is more than the sum of its specs.” The teasing message that HTC has used to accompany the image does raise the question of just what specs the firm will see fit to include in the handset. These match up with the various leaks

PC gamers can grab the ‘They Shall Not Pass’ expansion from the Origin Store for nothing, whereas it normally retails for £11.99 or $14.99. They Shall Not Pass sees the arrival of the French army, and the expansion boasts four new maps, plus a new game mode: Frontlines (which is a mixture of Conquest and Rush). EA is still actively developing Battlefield 1, with a new mode called Shock Operations expected to arrive next month. Still, there’s plenty of mileage in Battlefield 1 yet, particularly i

Google Pay is no longer restricted to Android devices – iPhone and desktop users can now use the contactless service to max out their credit cards. In February, Google rolled Android Pay and Google Wallet together into one unified service: Google Pay.

We’ve seen pictures claiming to show the Nokia X and now the notched handset seems to be the star of a video, briefly showing the front, back and right edge. Specs unknownWe’ve heard previously that the Nokia X was on display in Beijing, so this video is likely the real deal, but there’s still a lot that we don’t know about the handset, including its specs. However, what we have heard is that despite its high-end design the Nokia X may actually be a mid-range handset. We should know for sure soo

All the best.”Hopefully Google, the company behind Chrome, updates the browser so that it is stable with the Windows 10 April 2018 Update.

Google Assistant is already a very capable voice assistant (with some studies even ranking it the smartest of all the voice assistants), but now Google is looking to make it even more useful – by investing in startups. That’s right, alongside its own internal workings, the search giant is funneling money and resources into a new scheme that helps to nourish the development of startups that are dedicated to working on Google Assistant. The lucky recipients get (currently undisclosed) investment c

While all the virtual reality attention has been focussed around the new standalone Oculus Go headset this week, the VR developers at Facebook are already planning future generations of the big-daddy Oculus Rift headset. The company used this week’s F8 Developer Conference to show off a prototype called the Half Dome, the principles behind which will likely trickle down into whatever the Oculus Rift 2 eventually proves to be. Half Dome, though externally looking very similar to the existing Ocul

Its Oculus Go headset is a big step in the right direction for VR: free from tethers, lightweight and, most importantly, inexpensive. Facebook is hoping to make this experience a whole lot better by teaming up with camera manufacturer RED to develop the most realistic virtual reality experience yet, using Facebook’s Surround 360 technology. At F8, a link-up with Oculus and RED was announced, with the hope that the end result will be a pro-level virtual reality cinema camera. “Facebook’s industry

A future Huawei Watch may aim to become a Nintendo Switch rival as a new patent shows an idea to make your wristwear into an innovative gaming device.

Gaming on your commuteAnother interesting element in the patent is the inclusion of a square watch for the images. Both the Huawei Watch and Huawei Watch 2 had round displays and it’s

Tesla CEO, Elon Musk has confirmed that the company’s next vehicle, the Tesla Model Y, won’t go into production until early 2020. The Model Y is expected to slide in under the larger Model X SUV, and is said to be built on a brand new platform, not the one that the Model 3 is built on as previously thought.
