Essential sued by Keyssa for theft of trade secrets in battle of ex-Google execs
Essential may be a startup in the mobile space, recently releasing its first smartphone, but apparently that doesn't mean it's safe from being sued. While Apple's legal spat with Qualcomm got most headlines so far in 2017, today we learn about a new fight - and it's interesting from one point of view at least. Keyssa Inc is suing Essential for alleged theft of trade secrets relating to a new technology that allows phones to connect to devices like cameras wirelessly. Yes, that is exactly how Essential's 360-degree camera accessory sends data to its phone. Keyssa is backed by Tony...
Galaxy Note8 for AT&T and Verizon is at least $150 off at Best Buy with installments
In what is sure to be a limited time offer, Best Buy has decided to let you save a minimum of $150 when you purchase a Samsung Galaxy Note8 for AT&T or Verizon. The big caveat here is that you have to use either carrier's device installment plan to do the deed, since if you pay the full retail price you receive no discount. If you don't mind monthly installments, though, that's a decent sum to be saving for what is still Samsung's top of the line smartphone offering. If you choose Verizon as your carrier, you only pay $32.75 per month for the phone, down from $39. In total, you will be...

Huawei Mate 10 vs. Mate 10 Pro: screen battle
Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro - the second one is clearly better, right? It says so right in the name! But if the main difference between these two is in the screen, then how come the Pro screen isn't clearly better? The Pro model packs AMOLED while the base Mate 10 uses LCD. This brings much a higher contrast ratio and better colors - while both displays support HDR10, the AMOLED boasts 112% NTSC coverage while the LCD only goes up to 96%. And the Pro model has an 18:9 screen, keeping with current trends. But it's this aspect ratio that skews the numbers. Despite having a 6"...
