The compact proportions of the original Rebel SL1 / 100D meant it was truly novel amongst its peers, but the slightly bulkier proportions of the EOS Rebel SL2 / EOS 200D make it feel more like a slightly pared-down Rebel T7i / 800D than anything unique. It’s the same sensor we’ve seen recently in both the EOS Rebel T7i / EOS 800D and EOS 77D. Instead of the display sitting flush with the body, as we saw with the Rebel SL1 / 100D, the EOS Rebel SL2 / EOS 200D now gets a 3.0-inch, vari-angle touch

The iPhone 8 home button has become one of the most controversial rumors about Apple’s 10th anniversary handset, but there’s good news today. The new home button may be completely resizable to your liking, according to Apple HomePod firmware code found by developer Steve Troughton-Smith. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus got rid of the clickable home button in favor of a home pad that simulated clicks with simulated haptic feedback. Along the same lines and we’re hearing today, Apple made these vib

If you’re looking for one of the most innovative, shatterproof flagship smartphones around in 2017, the Moto Z2 Force – now available in the US –could fit the bill nicely. Starting at $30 per month for a two-year mobile contract with your choice of carrier, the Moto’s latest also comes with the projector Moto Mod (one of many Moto Mods) for free, which normally goes for $299 by itself. Of course, the Z2 Force is available to be bought in full if that’s your style, but it’ll cost you $720. If you

Normally, such distractions aren’t so bad, but if you’re trying to get work done, they can be devastating. I set out to see for myself whether I could cut down on distractions and become more productive using three apps. At present, upgrading either version to Pro with an in-app purchase of $2.99 lets you invite up to 25 friends to an OFFTIME session, with more features promised in the future. Perhaps the biggest deficiency was the curious lack of any alarms or conspicuous alerts to let you know

Microsoft has made some big changes to its Xbox Insider Program, the service that allows you to beta test Xbox updates before they’re available to the general public. How to join Omega level of the Xbox Insider ProgramThe Omega level is the easiest level of the Xbox Insider Program to reach thanks to the fact that Microsoft has now made it open to all. To do this, head to My Games and Apps on your Xbox One dashboard, select ‘Updates’, and from there select the Xbox Insider Hub app. How to join B

A long-running spat between Kaspersky and Microsoft has been resolved, with the latter agreeing to make considerable changes to the way Windows 10 handles third-party antivirus apps in the upcoming Fall Creators Update. Security firm Kaspersky’s complaints began last autumn and culminated in an anti-trust action filed in June, accusing Microsoft of favoring its own antivirus solution in Windows 10 (Windows Defender) while deactivating ‘incompatible’ third-party antivirus apps during OS upgrades.

So far we’ve seen a lot leaks for both the iPhone 8 and iPhone 7S, but most of the rumors have come directly from spec sheets, photos and word of mouth. Now videos have started to show the phone in the flesh with three different clips posted over the last few days that share the design of the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 7S Plus. iPhone 8 v iPhone 7S PlusThe second video comes with Danny Winget who shows the iPhone 7S Plus against the iPhone 8 model. The iPhone 7S Plus looks to have a glass back, muc

LG has revealed that it’ll launch its flagship V30 at the end of August, and the company has also announced that its latest smartphone will feature a dual camera with a f/1.6 maximum aperture lens (or lenses?). This will see the LG V30 take the crown of the ‘fastest’ lens on any flagship camera, beating both the f/1.7 optic on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the f/1.8 wide-angle lens on the iPhone 7 Plus (its telephoto lens is a bit slower at f/2.8). There’s more to image qualitySo will the V30 delive

The hack was done as a call to arms to the genetic data processing community to ensure best practices, and to prompt a discussion about the regulations around DNA sequencing. To understand how they managed to create the DNA malware, you need to know a little about genetic sequencing. DNA is built up of foundational units called nucleotides. Don’t panicSimilar techniques have been used to store data on DNA, but in this instance the team encoded the sequence with a piece of malware that it knew wo

Though we don’t know when exactly it’ll be it is inevitable that there’s going to be a 5.0 firmware update for the PlayStation 4 and details of what changes it’s going to bring have been leaked online. Eurogamer, which claims to have secured a copy of the release notes, reports that 1080p 60 fps streaming via Twitch will be supported for PS4 Pro owners in this new update. This adds another 1080p exclusive to the Pro, which already supports 1080p Remote and Share Play. Another big change, for all

With the LG V30 set to be officially revealed at the end of the month, LG has announced that its upcoming flagship handset will incorporate an F1.6 aperture camera in its dual camera setup. This means LG V30 will have the largest aperture among all other current flagship smartphones, allowing for 25% more light to reach the sensor than the F1.8 lenses featured on last year’s LG V20 and this year’s LG G6. Along with its larger aperture, the LG V30 also boasts LG’s glass Crystal Clear Lens, which

Say hello to Watch, a new video platform on Facebook featuring original TV shows, including content funded by the mega social network itself. Through Watch, Facebook will serve up video content on iOS, Android, desktop, laptop and its TV applications. Just like a typical television program, Watch shows will center on a theme or story line. Conde Nast Entertainment also alerted TechRadar on Wednesday to its five-episode Facebook Watch show, called Virtually Dating, which is slated to launch later

Enter the REVVL — a $125 smartphone intended for T-Mobile customers who may not want to shell out several hundred bucks every time a top-shelf handset like the Samsung Galaxy S8 or iPhone 7 hits the market. The REVVL runs Android Nougat and features a fingerprint scanner, a 5.5-inch HD screen, a 13MP rear camera, 5MP front-facing camera, 2GB RAM and 32GB of storage that is expandable to 128GB. Interested customers can order the T-Mobile REVVL beginning Thursday, August 10, through T-Mobile’s onl

Critical RoleOne of the strongest motivators to drive me toward really getting into D&D was watching (and listening to) others play it. If you haven’t already heard about this, here’s the elevator pitch: “some of the world’s most prolific voice actors play D&D.” If that doesn’t excite or at least intrigue you, then I’m at a loss. Critical Role is a livestreamed D&D game led by DM and voice actor Matthew Mercer that’s arguably the very best of its kind to date. Whether you’re a DM or a player, th

If recent rumors are to be trusted, the Google Pixel 2 won’t feature the common 3.5mm headphone jack. But unlike other smartphone manufacturers, the Google Pixel 2 might have the best reason for cutting the cord so far: Android O. Additionally, the lack of headphone jack in Google’s next flagship could actually be the one to push the wireless headphone industry forward. Still, it’s hard not to consider that Google could be making the same strides in wireless all while keeping the headphone jack.

It looks like home buttons are becoming so 2016 as Samsung may ditch bezel-based buttons in favor of a pressure-sensitive display for the Galaxy Note 8. Samsung will outfit its upcoming phablet with a “force touch” display that will allow it to read how hard the user presses down on the screen, according to the typically reliable ETNews (via The Investor). If expanded to the entire screen, the feature would effectively match Samsung’s handset up to Apple’s similar 3D Touch technology, which debu

You’re in the middle of an intense conversation and your phone begins to beep loudly on the table in front of you. You pick it up, quickly glance at the alerts coming in, then forcefully press a button to silence your device. Developer Guilherme Rambo posted the ‘TLAttentionAwarenessObserver’ code snippet on Twitter, which seemingly suggests the new iPhone will detect when you’re looking at its display and mute notification noises accordingly. Utilizing the same sensors, the iPhone 8 could be sm

But its recent product announcement, a smart speaker with Alexa integration that looks (and functions) like an Amazon Echo Dot, might take the copycat cake. Like the Echo Dot, the Eufy Genie’s Alexa is always listening, awaiting commands to control the music, check on the status of smart home appliances and ordering products from Amazon. It’s all in the familyWhat makes the Genie a good deal is the fact that it can connect to any device the Amazon Echo Dot can thanks to its built-in Alexa suppor
