You can now buy the Google Pixel 2 in the Kinda Blue color version in unlocked form, both from the Google Store as well as Fi, the search giant's own carrier experiment. Up until today, the only model up for grabs in Kinda Blue was the one intended for Verizon. Thus it looks like Big Red's exclusivity on the hue has finally expired. Note that the Pixel 2 in Kinda Blue is only available with 64GB of storage. It can be yours for $649. As you may know, the Pixel 2 XL doesn't have a blue iteration - that's only purchasable in black or black and white (nicknamed 'Panda'). The Kinda Blue...

Nextbit Robin cloud storage service to end on March 1
Nextbit, now Razer, has announced that the Nextbit Robin Smart Storage feature will go offline on March 1, 2018. The company is requesting its users to download all their data by visiting the website cloud.nextbit.com before it gets deleted on March 1. The Nextbit Smart Storage service was the pièce de résistance of the Robin when it launched. It had an automatic backup feature with 100GB of storage that backed up things like unused apps and photos to the cloud service so as to not take up space locally. The cloud icon with the lights you see in the image above showed how much of...
Razer Phone to get HDR and 5.1 support on Netflix in an update
Razer has announced that it has partnered with Netflix to bring HDR-10 and 5.1 audio support to the Razer Phone. While there exist phones that can playback content in HDR on Netflix, the Razer Phone will be the first mobile device to get 5.1 audio support. In an update arriving later this month, new and existing users will get the option to watch Netflix in HDR. This was a bit of a surprise since Razer never mentioned support for HDR previously but apparently the Razer Phone does have an HDR-10 display, although I'm not sure if that means you can play local HDR videos or HDR videos on...

LG's next flagship might be called G7 after all
We began this year by finding out that LG plans to rename its flagship series - hence, the device formerly referred to as G7 would be called something else. This handset is expected to become available in April. Now though the plot thickens, since LG's own official website for the UK lists the G7. The mention is buried in a page describing fast charging and the various iterations of Qualcomm Quick Charge supported by its smartphones. Sure enough, under Quick Charge 4.0 we can see "Future LG G7", while the G6 and G5 have shipped with Quick Charge 3.0. This may be the first...
Razer announces new HyperFlux technology for truly wireless mice
Razer has taken a leaf out of Logitech's book and introduced its own truly wireless mouse technology that gets its power from the mouse pad. Called the HyperFlux, the technology includes a compatible mouse pad and mouse that work together to ensure you never have to charge your wireless mouse again. Razer's approach is similar to Logitech's but not identical. The mouse is still getting its power from the mouse pad. Unlike the Powerplay system, however, the mice in Razer's HyperFlux don't have a battery so that mat isn't charging a battery that in turns powers the mouse but rather...

SanDisk reveals the world's smallest 1TB USB-C flash drive
SanDisk is showcasing two new flash drives at CES this year. The more interesting one is the 1TB USB Type-C drive, which is said to be the smallest of its kind in the world.

The other drive is an actual product that was launched, which is the SanDisk Ultra Fit USB 3.1 Flash Drive, which is claimed to be the smallest 256GB flash drive in the world. It has the same form-factor as other SanDisk Ultra Fit drives, which means it is just a tiny bit larger...

But there's also a full-screen keyboard complete with customizable Razer Chroma backlighting (because nothing says "Razer" like RGB lights). Razer's Project Linda is a laptop dock for the Razer Phone Once...
