For some reason Samsung really likes competing with the media when it comes to hands-on videos of its newly unveiled products. This has been happening for a while now, and the wares announced at its event today are no exception. The Korean company has created official hands-on videos for everything it's outed today, including the Galaxy S8 and S8+ of course. As you'd expect, the two flagship smartphones get the most attention, with videos about their screens, biometric authentication, camera, Bixby, and two separate ones on design - one for hardware, one for UX. That said, the other...

Unlocked Galaxy S8 and S8+ arrive in the US on May 9
If you want to grab a Galaxy S8 or S8+ from a US carrier, we've already told you what to expect in terms of pricing and release dates. But what if you want to buy unlocked? Best Buy has thankfully been nice enough to answer that question. The retailer has revealed both the pricing and the release date for the S8 and S8+ unlocked units. These will be available on May 9, a fair bit after their carrier-specific counterparts launch (starting on April 21). The unlocked Galaxy S8 will be priced at $724.99, while the S8+ will cost $824.99. That means you're saving $25 when buying unlocked...
Galaxy S8's Bixby will only understand US English and Korean at launch
One of the big selling points for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ will be the built-in Bixby virtual assistant, at least according to Samsung's presentation. After all, the company even added a physical button for it. So with that said, you'd expect it to support many different languages. Well, in that case you'd be disappointed. When the S8 duo launches, Bixby will only understand US English and Korean. Other languages will be coming in the future, but there's no time frame to speak of (not even a vague one). Furthermore, Samsung's assistant will only work with a few native apps at first -...
Google has already sold 2.1 million Pixels, report says
Given their disastrous stock situation that has existed from launch and even up until this day, you may have been wondering whether Google's Pixels have been very successful in terms of sales or the company simply chose not to make enough. Today we get sort of an answer for that. As you may know, the Pixels are actually manufactured by HTC. The Taiwanese company has apparently already shipped more than 2.1 million Pixel and Pixel XL units to Google since their release in fall 2016. That's probably a pretty impressive number compared to Nexuses of days past, but when you put it against the...
Samsung knows how bad the position of the fingerprint scanner is on the S8 and S8+
One of the things many people wanted not to believe when the barrage of S8 leaks came around over the past few weeks was the new position of the fingerprint sensor. Not that it would be on the back of the S8 duo per se, but its location next to the camera lens. Like, really close to it. And off-center. Perhaps not wanting its new flagships to look similar to many other Android handsets that have a circular fingerprint scanner centered horizontally on the back, Samsung went with an oddity that's bound to create some problems for those that use both that sensor and the main camera a lot. And...
Samsung also announced a mesh Wi-Fi router that's a SmartThings hub too
Mesh networking's been all the rage recently, haven't you heard? Pretty much every big router maker now has some kind of mesh Wi-Fi solution, and once Google joined the fray it was clear that this was the next big thing in wireless - maybe. Anyway, you can add a new company to the list starting today, and that's Samsung. Aside from announcing the Galaxy S8 and S8+, the new Gear VR and Gear 360, and the DeX dock for the phones, it's also found time to unveil its own mesh Wi-Fi solution. It's called Samsung Connect Home Smart Wi-Fi System, and like all of its competitors you will be able to...
T-Mobile unboxes the Galaxy S8 among sharks, Samsung gives an ostrich a new Gear VR
As you may know if you've looked at our homepage in the last few hours, today Samsung finally took the wraps off its newest flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S8 and S8+. They will be up for pre-order at carriers such as T-Mobile starting tomorrow. In the meantime, the magenta company has sent its resident video unboxer underwater to show you the Galaxy S8 while surrounded by sharks. No, really, take a look: If that video simply wasn't strange enough for you, then stick around because Samsung itself has prepared something even more outlandish. It's basically the answer to the age-old...

Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ hands-on: First encounter
After a month of what seemed like never ending barrage of leaks, Samsung has finally (and officially) announced its Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. This marks the company's first major smartphone release since the sad demise of the Galaxy Note7 last fall, which prompted the company to implement a new 8-point battery safety check to the S8 and all future devices.
Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ unveiled: widescreen powerhouses
The Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ just got unpacked, it's time for introductions. The hotly anticipated flagships build on the S7 edge design largely by taking over the bezels. The two phones mostly differ in screen size - the Galaxy S8 has a 5.8" screen, the Galaxy S8+ is at 6.2". Both are Super AMOLEDs with an extra wide aspect ratio of 18.5:9, they have the same resolution too (1,440 x 2,960px). Also notice the rounded corners of the screen.

Samsung unveils new Gear VR headset, Gear 360 camera too
The Samsung Galaxy S8 brought its posse to the party. The new Gear VR will be bundled with the phone (S8 and S8+) for those who pre-order. Then there's the updated Gear 360 camera for homemade 360° photos and videos. Gear VR This is basically the same headset as before, but has been tweaked a bit to fit the Galaxy S8. The new flagships are well-suited for VR - the extra wide screen should help widen the field of view. Then there's the extra powerful GPU (be it inside a Snapdragon 835 or an Exynos 8895 chipset). A motion controller is now part of the VR package, which looks and works...
Samsung DeX brings sedentary desktop life to the mobile Galaxy S8
Samsung multimedia docks allowed you to hook up a large screen and accessories up to your flagship Galaxy device, but the Android UI just didn't cut it. After a lull, Galaxy docks are back - meet the Samsung DeX. The dock looks like a puck and is reasonably portable. The top tilts to hold your phone at an angle. DeX features a full-sized HDMI port, two USB 2.0 ports plus a USB-C for charging. It lets you use the biometric authentication on the S8 to log in. It's really the software is what makes the whole thing impressive. When you plug in a Samsung Galaxy S8 you get a completely...

Alleged LG V30 front panel shows a dual-selfie cam
Dual camera phones are out in force, but LG - which is partly responsible for the current craze - may top the competition with dual dual cameras. You see, the LG V10 had a dual camera on the front, the V20 had a dual camera on the back... so the V30 should have dual cameras on both sides, right? An alleged photo of LG V30's front panel definitely shows two holes for selfie cameras. Sure, it tells us nothing about the back, but with the G5, V20 and now G6 having dual cameras, what are the chances that LG will go back to a single main cam? This panel shows something else too - the...
Following T-Mobile, AT&T and Sprint also start shipping LG G6 pre-orders in advance
Last week, it came to light that T-Mobile has started shipping pre-orders for the LG G6 despite the official launch date for the device being April 7.

Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ specs revealed by TENAA
There's little we don't know about the upcoming S8 duo, but TENAA kindly filled in the remaining details.

Samsung Galaxy S8 at a glance: Body: 148.9 x 68.1 x 8.0mm, 152g Screen: 5.8" Super AMOLED, 1,440 x 2960px resolution (586ppi) Memory: 4GB RAM + 64GB storage; 6GB RAM + 128GB storage; microSD slot OS: Android 7.0 Nougat Battery: 3,000mAh Note that the TENAA lists a quad-core CPU and 1080p max resolution for video capture, but we're pretty...
ZTE nubia Z17 mini brings its dual cameras to TENAA
ZTE is unveiling a new device on April 6, but TENAA may have spoiled the plot twist - the ZTE nubia Z17 mini was certified and its spec sheet posted for the world to see. So gaze upon its dual cameras - a 13MP + 13MP combo (built on Sony IMX258 sensors, allegedly). They can record 1080p video and there's a lone 16MP camera on the front for selfies. ZTE nubia Z17 mini (photos by TENAA) The nubia Z17 mini will offer a 5.2" LCD screen with 1080p resolution and will run Android 6.0 at launch with the latest Nubia UI. All signs point to a Snapdragon 652 chipset, but TENAA lists...
Nokia 6 teardown: built like a tank
Phone teardowns are the quickest way to learn about a phone's build quality - the other way involves several years of usage. Anyway, the Nokia 6 proved to be one of the strongest phones ever taken apart by well-known YouTube tearer-downer JerryRigEverything. The secret? Lots and lots of screws. Seriously, there's a metal plate below the screen, which gives the phone extra rigidity. That plate alone is held down by 19 screws! Despite all the screws, the Nokia 6 actually proved easy to take apart with everything organized in such a way as to minimize the chance of you snapping something you...
