OLED displays are the next big thing for smartphones, and Samsung is reportedly readying a massive plant to meet demand. The company behind the Samsung Galaxy S8 plans to build a huge factory devoted to producing OLED screens, according to ETNews. As other companies like LG are reportedly investing heavily in OLED panels, a race is shaping up to see who emerges as the top source. Coincidentally, this is all happening as reports point to Apple needing ample OLED screens for the iPhone 8.iPhone 8

The original iPhone is celebrating its 10th birthday, and what better way is there to mark this anniversary than to force it to hang out with its taller, more popular and overall better looking kid? We decided to do an in-depth comparison of the iPhone 1 vs the iPhone 7 Plus running iOS 11, putting the two smartphones side-by-side. What’s changed? In two words: a lot. As we wait for the iPhone 8 (or whatever Apple will end up calling its next smartphone), let’s see how far we’ve come in one deca

July’s Amazon Prime Day is going to be the best day of the year for those looking to pick-up an Amazon Fire TV or Amazon Fire TV Stick. Both the Amazon Fire TV and Roku’s top-tier player offer full 4K resolution, but only the Amazon Fire TV ties into other services like Prime Music. Here are the best Amazon Fire TV deals we’ve found today:Amazon Fire TVThe full-size, latest and greatest streamer from Amazon4K UHD playbackFast and responsiveHuge selection of contentAmazon Prime is effectively a m

Remember the mythical Surface Mini? As to what the Surface Mini looked like, you can (obviously) see that in the images here, which come courtesy of Windows Central, who also spilled details on the compact device. That said, according to Windows Central, the Surface Mini is very comfortable to hold in the hands. It’s likely Microsoft didn’t believe the Surface Mini had enough selling points to make it a tempting proposition for consumers. Image Credits: Windows Central

The Fitbit smartwatch has been rumored for a few years and it’s thought the company acquired Pebble last year to gain talent to ramp up work on the watch, but a new report suggests the company is struggling to get a Fitbit app store ready for the expected launch date. Bloomberg spoke to sources familiar with the product that claim a third-party app store is proving more difficult than originally expected for the company. The wait continuesIt means the Fitbit smartwatch may have to launch without

FebruaryFebruary is the busiest month of the year for phone launches with the major show MWC 2017 increasingly proving the time where manufacturers unveil their latest creations. LG G6LG’s big flagship phone for 2017 is the G6, which launched in Barcelona at MWC. In 2017 Samsung did just that with the launch of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus. Samsung Galaxy S8 & Galaxy S8 PlusThe best looking smartphones to date arrived in March, with an even more futuristic design, hardly any bezel and strong

It’s the first car I had properly owned – rather than borrowing my parent’s cars – and it had Bluetooth connectivity. All I’d want on top of this is a link to the car’s stereo, microphones and vital stats. Meanwhile Google is joining forces with Audi and Volvo to bake a vehicle-friendly version of Android directly into a car’s infotainment system – going far beyond the offering in Android Auto. Rather than Android running over the top of your car’s standard system, Android will be the core opera

Palmer Luckey is once again causing headaches for his old partners at Oculus and Facebook after having left the company he helped form with his Oculus Rift VR headset on undisclosed terms earlier this year. The VR wunderkind has pledged $2,000 a month to the developer of the Revive software, an application that lets games and software that’d otherwise be exclusive to the Oculus platform also play nicely with its rival HTC Vive. “As some of you suspected the sudden extreme jump in the pledge amou

Blizzard’s remastered version of StarCraft will go on sale on Monday 14 August, for Windows and Mac machines priced at £13 or $15 over in the US (around AU$20). The core gameplay remains the same, but the enhancements include better graphics, support for widescreen monitors and 4K resolution, along with improved music, sound and remastered dialogue to boot. Blizzard has also made it possible to switch between this remastered version and the original StarCraft game by simply clicking a button. It

The internet is alight right now with hype for a Nintendo Game Boy case that attaches to your Android phone and allows you to play cartridge games with the top of your phone’s display. Originally the Smart Boy case started out as an April Fools Joke created by accessory manufacturer Hyperkin. People do really want to be able to play early Pokemon and other Game Boy games directly on their phone. Instead, Nintendo should offer a few of the original Game Boy Color games people want to play on the

Choose the right venueChoosing the right venue is essential if you want fireworks photos that really pop. Finally, unless you arrive at a fireworks display early, it’s hard to avoid the crowds. Set focusing manuallyOne of the keys to successful firework photos is getting the fireworks in focus. Take advantage of post-processingPost-processing photos of fireworks is one of the simpler aspects of creating a dramatic, vibrant composition. If you’re shooting fireworks on the 4th of July, try replaci

If that last example feels like an overstatement, do I have a treat for you. The emergent technology has not gone unnoticed by the consumer side of the tech world. Facebook is talking about using a BCI in order to allow people to type using their minds, and Elon Musk’s Neuralink looks set to be a way of integrating human and machine intelligence, improving our memories and mental capabilities. If the interface is misreading signals from your brain, a signal from your brain could lead to an out o

Some of us look for smartphones that come at affordable price and serve the purpose of a smartphone. To make it easier to choose the best one for yourself, we compile the best smartphones under different price categories. Out of all the odd categories, the most frequently searched is of phones under Rs 10,000, and here are the best ones you can find under this range. The phone also features a 5-inch HD display, along with a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera. We particularly liked the batte

It’s a bit of a mouthful, but Tamron has updated its fast 24-70mm zoom lens – meet the SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 (Model A032). The lens features a new Dual MPU (Micro Processing Unit) that are said to provide rapid autofocusing with improved accuracy. The SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 also promises to deliver the highest vibration compensation performance of any lens in its class, at up to five stops. As well as this, the new lens also sports a protective Fluorine Coating, moisture-resistant

It’s widely accepted that the Raspberry Pi has been quite the achievement in technology – you only have to look at the way that the tiny computer has flown off the shelves – but now the innovative board has been officially recognized with the UK’s most prestigious engineering award. The device has won the Royal Academy of Engineering’s MacRobert award for 2017, meaning the creators of the Raspberry Pi took home a rather groovy-looking gold medal, along with a £50,000 (around $65,000, AU$85,000)

This week is the 10 year anniversary of the original iPhone being released to the public (in the US, the rest of the world had to wait a few more months) and it’s amazing to look back on how far phones have come. It’s especially fun to look at the early prototype devices for the original iPhone that never made it to market. Here are two iPhone prototypes. Ten years onThe two prototypes look even chunkier than the original iPhone and come with plastic bodies, rather than the metal cases seen on t

We all like choice, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 could give us some, as the latest rumor suggests it will come in two storage sizes, with both 64GB and 128GB models available. Aside from the fact that the ‘official’ has remained anonymous, there’s also the fact that Samsung hasn’t tended to offer multiple storage sizes in its recent flagships. The Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus was a slight exception to that, with both 64GB and 128GB sizes available, but the larger model only launched in a few location

But if someone had access to data about your brainwaves, it might be a different story. “These emerging devices open immense opportunities for everyday users,” Saxena said. Technical protectionsIn response, the researchers propose that EEG headset manufacturers be forced to create technical protections for their users. For example, a headset could automatically generate digital noise in the signal whenever a password is being entered. The team’s research was presented at the 21st Financial Crypt

Yesterday the British online supermarket delivery company Ocado unveiled the CargoPod, its first foray into driverless deliveries. Driverless cars are especially difficult thanks to their presumably stringent safety requirements. So perhaps there’s a value in making these first few driverless vehicles, which are likely to become the movement’s poster children, as childlike and inoffensive as possible. And then it will be a simple matter of someone from Waymo pointing to a photo of its driverless

In fact, there are more sensors here than on the iPhone 7, which could mean the rumored facial recognition features will be included. The design matches dummy iPhone 7 units that have also leaked in recent weeks, and the screen protector is 139 x 66mm, which the source (MobileFun) theorizes would mean a screen size of around 5.8 inches on the iPhone 8, as has been rumored. Similar but biggerThe case differs from iPhone 7 cases through the presence of a vertical dual camera and a larger power but
