Brand new Pixel 2 XL for Verizon is now just $399.99

Google may not have launched its mid-range Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL yet, but if you want a Google smartphone that's priced like a mid-ranger there's no need to wait for those. Right now, Best Buy is offering Verizon's Pixel 2 XL for just $399.99, no contract or activation required. That's $450 off the phone's initial price when it launched back in 2017, and a very good deal considering what you're getting for the price of an iPhone SE, basically.

Samsung Galaxy S10e deal: free Qi Wireless Charger Duo

Samsung's Galaxy S10 and S10+ were pretty predictable, but the S10e is something else entirely. Sure, the Korean company wants to emulate Apple's strategy by having an iPhone XR of its own, exact same price point and all, but the thing is the cheapest member of the S10 family does a lot of what its more expensive siblings do too. And you save quite a bit going for it. And it's the only high-end Samsung option for people who hate curved screens. So, if this model intrigues you too, perhaps enough to make you want one, B&H has an interesting deal going on. There's no price cut yet - it's way...

Sony Xperia XZ3 camera fails to impress DxO Mark reviewers, barely beats XA2 Ultra

The Sony Xperia XZ3 failed to impress the reviewers at DxO Mark and, strangely, it failed to best the score of the Xperia XZ Premium. Note: not the XZ2 Premium, but the first Premium phone from early 2017. In fact, the phone just barely beat the mid-range Xperia XA2 Ultra. Here's what went wrong. The XZ3 was praised for nailing the exposure and producing images with good texture and pleasant color. The photos can be rich in detail if shot in well-lit areas, but the camera doesn't like the dark. Autofocus gets slower in the dark - taking up to half a second! - saturation gets boosted too...

Samsung is seeding the first Galaxy Buds software update

The Galaxy Buds are still fresh on the shelves but the first OTA update is already in motion. It's fairly small - just 1.32MB but it fixes some important issues like misreporting the battery level.

On Wednesday, we reported about some renders that were released by 91Mobiles containing the alleged Moto Z4. There are conflicting reports about whether this render represents the Moto Z4 or the Moto Z4 Play. Given the small indent on the bottom that looks like a 3.5mm headphone jack, this is more likely to be the Z4 Play. Alleged render from 91 Mobiles There isn't however, a fingerprint scanner on the side, so we're either to believe that it's under the display or this render is a fake. It's also rather hard to believe that Motorola is going to launch a 2019 flagship with a single...
