The Garmin Forerunner 645 Music is an excellent running watch in many ways, but is let down by the fact it didn’t launch with the promised headline features. Given it’s called the 645 Music, not having the streaming services available from day one was a bit annoying – but in Taiwan, things are different. Not only does the watch come with access to loads of songs to play offline from service KKBOX – which you can’t get from Deezer or iHeartRadio yet in other territories, despite being announced a

LG’s flagships typically have good cameras and with leaks pointing to a dual-lens 16MP camera (with strong low light skills) the LG G7 ThinQ will probably be no exception. Shared by leaker Roland Quandt, the photo apparently was taken with an f/1.6 aperture lens (which the LG G7 ThinQ is rumored to sport) and it’s fairly detailed. It’s also likely shot using non-final hardware and software, so in other words the finished LG G7 ThinQ will probably be able to take better photos than this, which bo

In the post, Facebook’s vice president of advertising, Rob Goldman, addresses the question, “If I’m not paying for Facebook, am I the product?”“No,” is Goldman’s answer. “Our product is social media – the ability to connect with the people that matter to you, wherever they are in the world. No such thing as a free lunchIt’s hard to define what service Facebook truly offers, even for its CEO. It not only owns the world’s largest social media network, but sells advertising space and, now, hardware

Samsung has announced six new TV series that it’s introducing to its VR Video service for its Gear VR, with a pilot episode from each made available today. The shows are the result of a select few indie filmmakers who received a grant from Samsung in order to produce original VR content. They were given access to Samsung’s 360 Round camera as well, although only one series (&Design) chose to utilize it. “Bro Bots” (Breaking Fourth)A scripted sci-fi comedy series in VR, set in a New York City of

LG V30 owners sour about the debut of the smarter LG V30S ThinQ don’t have to feel so forgotten anymore, as the AI upgrade that comes built into the V30S ThinQ is starting to reach the V30 as well. V30 users on Verizon can update the software on their phone, and it will install AI features and re-name the phone to LG V30 ThinQ, reports Droid Life. LG had previously announced that it’s ThinQ AI would be coming to the LG V30, and it appears that it’s keeping that promise. This update brings one mo

That’s right: Amazon is working on domestic robots, reports Bloomberg. Recently, Amazon began to ramp up hiring at its Lab 126, where the robot is being developed. Lab 126 previously concocted Amazon Fire TV, the Amazon Fire tablets, Echo smart speakers and the Amazon Fire Phone (remember that? The big question, aside from whether Amazon’s robot ambitions ever come to fruition, is how much the Alexa robot will cost. As the company looks for more ways into your home, a domestic robot makes a whol

The Razer Phone has set the standard for what a gaming smartphone should be. Leaks on the Razer Phone 2 have been light thus far, but one has surfaced that states the phone may launch in September possibly at IFA 2018 in Germany as a venue. It could end up costing more than the original Razer Phone, which currently goes for $699 (£699, around AU$890). What we want to seeA refined designThat the Razer Phone adopted the look of the Nextbit Robin was a bit of a surprise. Razer did well to include t

In the new 2018 Ford EcoSport – a subcompact crossover that has at least a hint of Subaru ruggedness (with a $19,995 price tag) – you can connect up and use three of those four voicebots. Once you see the bot, you can click the icon on the touchscreen, press the Ford Sync button and say “Alexa” to start using Alexa, or utter “Alexa” to your phone. Using Alexa in the EcoSport was a bit frustrating at first. You can select one, and then see the navigation using the EcoSport touchscreen. In future

Sony has announced that it’s celebrating upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive, Detroit: Become Human, going gold by releasing a demo of the very first scene in the game. More interesting than the demo, however, is the reveal that it will have its very own Alexa skill. Named CyberLife, the skill will give players guidance and advice to help them make their first decisions in this choice-filled game world. Using the CyberLife skill, players will be able to ask Alexa questions relating to details in th

Vodafone could agree a deal to take control of Liberty Global’s cable networks in Germany and Eastern Europe for €16.5 billion within the next two weeks, according to the FT. Those ended without agreement but in 2016, the two firms agreed to merge their mobile and cable operators in the Netherlands in a bid to take on incumbent KPN. ConsolidationIndeed, market fragmentation and challenging regulatory environments have been cited by many European operators as causes for concern as traditional rev

Astronomy is essentially about studying light, and when it comes to giant telescopes, it’s visually a case of bigger is better.

The OnePlus 6 will have a glass design, as confirmed by CEO Pete Lau, marking the first time the firm has used glass on its flagship device. Speaking in a forum post on the firm’s website, Lau says the “OnePlus 6’s glass design is centered around creating a ‘sense of value’ and ‘premium hand-feel.’ “The way glass transforms under different lighting is a particularly important challenge—the OnePlus design team tested over 70 glass prototypes before selecting the best one.” A glass first, but not

Samsung is the biggest name in Android phones, and for good reason, as the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S9 are among the best handsets you can buy. Read our full Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus review2. In fact, the Samsung Galaxy S9 is only a fairly minor upgrade. It’s also cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus or Galaxy Note 8, making the Galaxy S8 Plus a slightly more affordable big-screen option – though it lacks the dual-lens cameras of those phones. The Galaxy A5 is also packing mid-range power an

The AMD Ryzen 7 2800X was suspiciously absent in the Ryzen 2nd Generation launch lineup, and now the chipmaker has teased that it has saved its best for last. Speaking to Tech Power Up, AMD Senior Vice President Jim Anderson hinted that we might see a Ryzen 7 2800X processor released at a later date. Without another higher-end consumer processor to compete with, there really isn’t any reason for AMD to throw down an even faster chip. Furthermore, with looming rumors that Intel will introduce an

If you haven’t yet purchased a Samsung Galaxy S9, your patience may soon pay off. It lists both the S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus with 128GB and 256GB. Don’t fret at allIn the UK, you can currently pick up the Galaxy S9 Plus in 128GB, but the standard S9 is locked to 64GB, as it is in the US. And while news of models with increased storage might initially rub you the wrong way (especially if you’re an early adopter) it’s hard to worry too much since both the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus feature

Microsoft is selling its latest Surface Pro tablet with some considerable discounts in the US and UK right now. In the US, you can grab a souped-up Surface Pro for the price of the entry-level model. That gets you a Surface Pro with an Intel Core i5 processor with a 128GB SSD and 4GB of memory for the price of one with a far-less-powerful Intel Core m3 processor. In the UK, Microsoft is offering savings of £100 or more on several select models. However, it’s important to note that these prices i

According to a fresh leak, AMD is planning to sell a new product called the Combat Crate, which is an all-in-one bundle consisting of a Ryzen processor plus motherboard and Radeon graphics card. As spotted by Videocardz, the first Combat Crate has been produced in conjunction with MSI, but there may be more in the pipeline from other manufacturers.
