Fortunately, it looks like that’s about to change. We’ve been passing along news about a rumored “ Nautilus ” Chromebook from Samsung for a while now, but suddenly it looks a lot more interesting than it already did. For one, a developer conversation on the Chromium repository explicitly states that it’s a Samsung product. For another, it claims the device will sport a 13MP Sony IMX258 camera sensor, reports Chrome Unboxed . It’s possible that the device will still have a pitiful front-facing ca

The catch, though, is that your phone had to pass a diagnostic test at an Apple Store. If your phone’s battery was still at 80% capacity or above, then, sorry, no battery replacement for you! But in its efforts to get back into customers’ good graces, Apple has apparently done away even with that requirement. As part of its reconciliation efforts, Apple also said that it would introduce new tools for iOS in 2018 that would help you keep better track of your iPhone’s battery life. Some of that fu

Some fresh information has emerged on Intel’s incoming laptop processor that runs with AMD Radeon graphics, confirming that the chip will indeed use AMD Radeon Vega graphics cores – AMD’s current-generation tech rather than last-gen Polaris. Additionally, we now know what exactly this processor will be called as well as its wattage and clock speed. The Core i7 part will use the Vega in conjunction with HBM2 memory, and it’ll be a quad-core (eight-thread) processor clocked at 3.1GHz with a total

A bad provider will focus almost entirely on generic VPN benefits, like encrypting your connection or helping you access blocked websites. A bad VPN goes much further, often pushing exaggerations so far that they become misleading. A bad VPN will make it sound like it gives you complete protection against all forms of malware, hacking and trackers. A bad VPN won’t much care about any of that. A bad VPN won’t just keep basic details quiet, it will actively try to hide them from you.

Smart lock maker Otto has ceased operating, leaving a workshop full of luxury locks that may never ship. Unfortunately for Otto, the acquisition fell through on December 11, the day that this deal was supposed to be finalized. Overall, we’re far happier that the smart lock company has shut down before, rather than after, shipping its product. While $699 (about £500, AU$900) may seem like a staggering amount of money for a lock, Otto was clearly angling itself to become the Apple of the smart loc

There have been a number of Samsung Galaxy S9 leaks now, but a pair of newly leaked renders give us one of our closest looks yet at both that phone and the larger Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. Image 1 of 2 The front of the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus looks familiar.

And speaking of the camera, it’s a single lens one, not a dual-lens snapper like the Samsung Galaxy Note

Sorry to burst your Christmas bubble so early into the new year, but that 4K TV that you unwrapped? The company will be headed to CES 2018 with a giant 88-inch 8K OLED TV in tow. Beyond some test footage, there’s very little 8K content to enjoy except for still photography. LG continues to invest heavily in OLED tech, making it one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of the screen technology. But expect Samsung, its nearest rival, to have a Quantum Dot-themed answer to this beast for CES.

If you want to listen to music without subjecting those around you to your terrible taste, then typically headphones have been your only option. However, Samsung’s new S-Ray speaker (that’s ‘sound-ray’ in case you’re interested) wants to provide an alternative, with a super directional sound that can be positioned to be heard by just one person. Directional speakers aren’t an entirely new invention (in fact, Turtle Beach showed off a pair a couple of years ago), but Samsung is promising that the

HMD Global may be gearing up to launch both the Nokia 4 and Nokia 7 Plus as part of its 2018 smartphone lineup, an APK file for the default Nokia camera app has revealed. Reports say HMD Global could be launching as many as six Nokia smartphones in the coming months. According to a report by GizChina , the names Nokia 4 and Nokia 7 Plus showed up on a teardown of the default Nokia camera app. This brings the number of leaked Nokia smartphones to six – the Nokia 6 (2018), Nokia 8 (2018), Nokia 9

For Microsoft, 2017 was yet another year of soaring highs and steep lows, from a whizbang series of hardware and software releases to some sobering wrinkles in said whizbang releases, not to mention some sobering revelations regarding its data collection. Will it revive Microsoft’s phone business that’s been in a constant state of limbo since the launch of Windows 10 ? First came the brand new Surface Pro , a numberless sequel to the Surface Pro 4 that improved on it in nearly every way, earning

In 2018, that setup will change, as Android Auto goes wireless. JVC Kenwood is planning to introduce a couple of wireless Android Auto units at the big CES show next week, reports CNET. Like a lot of similar units, the devices will support Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto, though right now it’s not clear whether that functionality will also be wireless. Android Auto upgradesGoogle teased the arrival of wireless Android Auto support back in May during Google I/O, so this isn’t a complete sur

A couple of weeks ago we reported on a Samsung patent showing a phone with two screens, separated by a hinge, that you could fold over. Now a new patent has emerged showing a very similar-looking device – is this the long-rumored Galaxy X? Two linked screens are fixed with a hinge in the middle, so the phone can be closed over with either the two displays or the two back panels showing. The new patent also shows this device being used in ‘tent’ mode, much like a 2-in-1 laptop. However, rumors ha

Now that 2018 is here, it’s time to start clearing out that hard drive and seriously considering another GPU upgrade because this year is going to put some serious strain on your free time, your wallet and your gaming machine. In the months to come we’re going to see some open-worlds that promise to blow our minds, shooters that aim to rewrite the FPS rulebook and some of the most exciting indie titles to come out of a small, upstart studio. So to get you primed and ready for the year ahead, we’

So read on for what we want to see from TV tech in 2018. This time next year I don’t want to see any mention of the pseudo-HDR terms that have started to appear in TV manufacturers catalogues. That means no ‘HDR Pro’, ‘HDR+’ or ‘HDR Certified’. The folks over at CNET have a couple of ideas for the TV tech we could see at CES in January. But 4K TVs are worthwhile because of the host of other technologies they’ve brought along for the ride.

Taking on a photography project is a great way to get yourself out of a photography rut and to bring some focus to your picture-taking. Indoor splash shotsFor this project you’ll need a flashgun that you can fire remotely, a container with clear sides for your water, a coloured background and a tripod. You’ll need two polarising filters – ideally one of these should be a sheet of polarising film. The flowers will float, so try to weigh them down or fasten them in place so that they freeze under
