The OnePlus 5T is officially scheduled for its grand arrival on November 16, but thanks to a hands-on post that hit the web this weekend, we now know pretty much everything there is to know about the phone in advance. As leaks go it’s pretty comprehensive, but we’d already heard a lot of this information from previous leaks. It’s very much a minor upgrade for OnePlus this time around, which you would expect from a “T” variant anyway. The OnePlus 5T also ditches most of the bezel margins, like ma

However, if your home computer is powerful enough there’s no reason you can’t get started mining Ethereum today. The MinerGate Mining Pool will automatically try to use your computer’s resources to mine cryptocurrency in the most profitable way. Dedicated miners usually buy custom equipment specifically for mining cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. This is around 1GB in size and represents the proof of work algorithms necessary to mine Ethereum data blocks. If you want to understand this further, s

Courtesy of Dutch site LetsGoDigital, the patent shows a design that’s been tweaked from the original prototype version we saw earlier this year. One of the sketches shows a user still listening to music with the split headset resting around his neck. We’ve had confirmation that the headset is going to support SteamVR games, so there should be plenty of content available when it sees the light of day. What we don’t know yet is when we might see the finished version of the LG UltraGear, if that i

Well, this isn’t good – after squashing a few software bugs, admitting that performance isn’t great in cold weather, and warning users that some burn-in is to be expected on the new iPhone X, the latest issue Apple has to deal with is a bright green line appearing down the side of some users’ handsets. My new #iPhoneX appears a green line on the screen😂, and the faceID can’t recognize me when I with glasses. Right now Apple hasn’t offered any solutions for a fix, bar sending your new iPhone X ba

Little over 24 hours after a report on Reddit noting that an iPhone X started to become unresponsive when used in cold weather, Apple has already acknowledged the issue and says it’s working on a fix. Considering that’s the main way of interacting with the iPhone X, this can get very frustrating. That said, the company is still working on a software update that it hopes will tackle the issue altogether. Working on a fixApple said: “We are aware of instances where the iPhone X screen will become

If you’re the happy owner of a Sony 4K HDR TV and an Amazon Alexa-enabled speaker, losing the remote down the side of the sofa may no longer be quite the pain it once was. Amazon and Sony have announced a partnership that will allow you to control an Sony Bravia TV with voice power alone. To access the functions, you simply need to ask the Alexa device to find your Sony TV, and then ask it questions such as “Alexa, turn on my Living Room TV” or “Alexa, change channel to BBC One HD on my living r

There have been whisperings for a little while now that Roku was about to enter into the audio space with a smart-enabled audio device. And there’s now evidence to suggest that they’ll be fully multiroom enabled too. This follows a regulatory finding (spotted by Variety) that shows Roku having picked up Danish audio startup Dynastrom for $3.5 million in September. Add to the mix that Roku is already working on far-field voice tech, and the rumors that an Amazon Echo-rivalling smart speaker from

Yes, discrete graphics solutions, not integrated (on-processor) affairs. Also, on the Intel side of the equation, Huang focuses on the company’s need to drive forward with graphics processors as a critical one. In other words, Intel doing discrete graphics is certainly big news that will make big waves, but not in terms of consumer graphics cards. Furthermore, Huang took time to comment on AMD and Intel teaming up to make laptop processors with integrated AMD graphics, news which broke earlier t

While Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 will likely be powering the Samsung Galaxy S9 in the US, the rest of the world will probably get a new Exynos chipset, and Samsung’s just announced the one that it might well use. Dubbed the Exynos 9810, this is the first proper 9 series chipset from the company, as the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 both use the Exynos 8895. Faster than fast6CA (six carrier aggregation) means that whatever phone has that chip will support download speeds of up to 1.2

Samsung is reportedly developing a sub 5-inch screen phone with an Infinity Display that curves around the edges of the phone like the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus. The post doesn’t claim this will be the Samsung Galaxy S9 Mini, but considering Samsung hasn’t yet included curved displays on its other lines of products it makes sense this will be an addition to the flagship S line up. If it is a miniature version of the S flagship line, it would make sense for Samsung to release it alongside the

As such, with deals season about to go into full Black Friday overdrive, Amazon is getting ready to slash the prices of its own-brand gear in Whole Foods stores. And it’s not just a warehouse full of old stuff Amazon is looking to get rid of. The deals include even the brand new Amazon Echo Plus. Echo, Kindle and Fire dealsOver 100 Whole Foods stores will be offering Amazon-related offers, with pop-up stores dedicated to Amazon items being introduced for a brief time at Illinois, Michigan, Flori

My first sighting of the Toyota C-HR in the flesh was in Portugal earlier this year. The Toyota C-HR does something that many hybrids at the affordable end of the market have arguably struggled to do. Thankfully the large center console display, and the small 4.2-inch screen tucked in-between the instrument clusters show there is life here. Overall though, the Toyota C-HR now was me pondering whether my next car could well be a stylish hybrid. If Toyota can tidy up its infotainment, this could b

What you’ll find below should not only help you pick out the 40-inch screen of your dreams, but also educate you on the modern audiovisual landscape. Before we dive into specific TVs, let’s discuss what makes a good 40-inch screen. Operating system: It used to be that many of the TVs in the 40-inch range didn’t come with an operating system. But what you’re looking for, ideally, is a well-maintained operating system like Roku TV, LG’s webOS or Samsung’s Tizen operating system. For the money, thi

Considering Apple’s penchant for giving its devices names like iPhone , iOS , iPad and iMovie , you’d think the letter “i” would be inviolate for Apple: something to keep pure; to protect at all costs. But no, millions of iPhone users recently found themselves plagued with a strange bug that replaced most standalone uses of the lowercase “i” with a pound sign and a box with a question mark. Today, fortunately, the madness ends with the iOS 11.1.1 patch, which “Fixes an issue with the keyboard au

Image credit: AppleAlong with the fix for that annoying iOS 11 keyboard bug that’s been going around, Apple today released a patch for its Clips app that allows iPhone X users to make so-called “Selfie Scenes.” Think of Selfie Scenes as your own personal greenscreen. As MacStories points out, that sometimes leads to Selfie Scenes “frequently cutting off parts of [your] head.” You’ll also get to plaster your selfies with stickers from Disney and Star Wars if that’s your thing. You can use a lot o

We first heard that users of Microsoft’s Windows Mixed Reality headsets would eventually be able to play SteamVR games back in August , and now, as Rolling Stone reports, that day is almost here. The newish Windows Mixed Reality headsets like the Samsung HMD Odyssey have been a fairly unappetizing option until now largely because of their scarcity of content. As of right now, there are only a few dozen apps available for Windows Mixed Reality on the Windows Store. Split realityThe appeal of Micr

T-Mobile is pushing forward with the rollout of next-generation connectivity, called Gigabit Class LTE, by rolling out LTE Advanced capabilities to more than 920 markets in the US. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Gigabit LTE modems in smartphones allow for LTE Advanced connectivity. According to T-Mobile, LTE Advanced allows for double download speeds. T-Mobile has been rolling out LTE Advanced technology since 2014, and undertook a greater push last year when it doubled its LTE Advanced footprint. Not 5G

The Apollo Cloud 2 Duo does a few things very nicely, but not enough to warrant its high cost or being chosen above similar hardware from Western Digital or Synology. The Promise Apollo Cloud 2 Duo 8TB aims to provide lots of personal cloud space for those who lack confidence and don’t necessarily take for granted that their global cloud services will always be there. Toshiba’s N300 NAS drives cost less than these, so why Promise chose them is a mystery. Less of a conundrum is how the Cloud 2 Du

With the new wave of affordable 4K monitors recently hitting the market, considerably cheaper than 4K TVs, they’re naturally all the rage right now. Its small screen size coupled with Ultra-HD gives you extreme sharpness without sacrificing your deskspace. All of that and excellent speakers to boot for an amazingly reasonable cost; this is the 4K monitor for budget-minded gamers. It is not without quirks: the screen brightness could be higher, the red on black trim is an acquired taste, and it h

It’s taken a while, but the Nintendo Switch is finally getting its first video streaming app: Hulu. It’s now been confirmed by Hulu that the app will be available to download later today on the Nintendo eShop. Setting a precedentThe Switch will receive the fully-fledged Hulu app which will include the company’s live TV package and on-demand subscription service. This will be the very first video streaming app on the Nintendo Switch, though it’ll only be available for North American users as Hulu
