The Galaxy A9 has already been unveiled by Samsung… Well, sort of – the A9 was detailed on the company’s Weibo account earlier this month but wasn’t made official worldwide. But that could soon change, as the largest Galaxy A smartphone recently passed through Chinese certification authority TENAA. As it always does, TENAA has published a couple of pictures and the specs of the device, though none of this comes as surprising at this point....

A new supply chain report from Macotakara today sheds new light on the sizing details of the 2020 iPhone lineup. The report also includes one notable caveat compared to what other reports have widely claimed we can expect from the iPhone 12 lineup in terms of design. According to today’s report from Macotakara, it’s possible that the iPhone 12 lineup could have the “same housing design” as the iPhone 11, with the only differentiator being the camera technology....

Earlier today, Samsung launched its much anticipated 2016 variants of the Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7 in India. The handsets are slightly toned down versions of their Chinese variants, though they do feature almost the same exact set of internal specifications and features. Both handsets will go on sale in India from tomorrow and have been priced pretty competitively, with only a couple of grands settings the two phones apart....

At long last, Red Dead Redemption 2 is set to make its debut on PC via Steam, Google Stadia, Epic Game Store and Rockstar’s PC Launcher on November 5. However, if you’re one of the many modders chomping at the bit to make the wild west setting of Red Dead Redemption Online your own, uncertainty looms. When asked point-blank about mod support, Rockstar North Associate Technical Director Alex Hajadj essentially gave a non-answer to the question....

Note: You can also use WinToUSB to create a bootable version of Windows 7, Windows 10 Technical Preview, and Server 2008 R2 or 2012 R2. For best results I recommend using Windows 8 since it’s more friendly to being portable than Windows 7. Also note that this is quite different than installing Windows from a flash drive. Windows 8 Enterprise edition has a feature called Windows To Go that allows you to install a portable version of Windows on a certified flash drive....

The phone is a follow-up to the V10, which was definitely an outlier with its dual screen front-facing cameras. says those features will return, along with a 32-bit DAC (digital-to-analog converter). This is a first for a smartphone, promises to enhance the audio experience. The V10’s audio video capabilities were among its strengths, but the second screen seemed like a weird add-on that didn’t offer much practical value. hasn’t offered any other specs or details about what else may be found in the V20, so we’ll keep a close watch for when more information leaks out....

This year has come full circle. In Q1 we all drooled over the Snapdragon 600 powered HTC One and Galaxy S4. In Q3 the internet collectivity foamed at the mouth over all the new Snapdragon 800 devices hitting the market. But today, all anyone can seem to talk about is the budget market. The $180 Moto G shocked people, coming in at nearly $200 less than the Nexus 5, yet delivering more than adequate performance for most people....

The press release doesn’t specify how many of the phones will be returned to the wild, but Samsung confirms it will be using some returned devices as “refurbished phones or rental phones.” Samsung offers a leasing program that lets you upgrade to a new device after a year of payments, but Samsung doesn’t say whether it would be selling refurbished Note7s to these customers. It specifies that “applicability is dependent upon consultations with regulatory authorities carriers as well as due consideration of local dem....

Koh Dong-jin, head of Samsung’s mobile communication business, remarked at the launch of the Galaxy Note 7 earlier this week that the Korean company expects its sales to exceed those of its predecessor. The executive, however, did not provide any public sales figure or target. Considering that Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 5 in Europe more than 4 months after its unveiling in the United States, it will not be surprising to see the Note 7 surpass its predecessor in terms of sales....

I have tried several different Internet streaming set top boxes. From the Apple TV, the Sony SMP-N200, the Xbox 360 and others. The one I use the most is my Roku 2 XS. It includes a plethora of channels in the store and several hidden channels you can add. But, sometimes you want to access your own local media. From the Roku main menu, go into the Channel Store. Under the Photos & Video or Music section select Roku USB Media Player....

Just as 2012 was the year of 720p flagship phones and 2013 was the year of 1080p flagship phone, this year will be all about “2K” phones. I say “2K” because technically it’s 1440p, but marketing people seem hell bent on getting people to say “2K”, so that’s that. As I was saying, you can expect Samsung, Sony, LG, HTC, everyone really, to announce a 2K phone during the next few months....

In the latest development of the court case initiated by human rights and consumer rights organizations, the São Paulo Court of Justice maintained an earlier decision that ordered the interruption of the roll-out in March. The organizations are calling for the suspension of the use of “massive and indiscriminate” facial recognition technology, which is part of a surveillance system and would impact over 4 million people who travel in the metro system on a daily basis....

Smartphones today remind me of computers in the 90s. By that I mean every successive generation blows the previous generation out of the water. While it may be hard to believe, there was a time when buying a new computer every 12 months meant you’d get a substantially better machine. And likewise, look at what changed under the hood between the Galaxy S III and the Galaxy S4 in the span of a single year....

You can add Roseanne to the growing pile of 1980s and/90s TV shows that are making a comeback. For nine seasons, the popular sitcom detailed the none-too-glamorous daily travails of the Conners, a working-class family scraping by in a small town in Illinois. Infused with star Roseanne Barr’s particular brand of humor, which she developed during a successful stand-up career, Roseanne was notable for its believable depiction of lower-class family life in middle-America; a subject that had seldom been tackled on network TV (and hasn’t been tackled that much since)....

A report from the Korea Herald says that Samsung is developing a smartwatch with its own integrated Universal Subscriber Identity Module, or IM. This would allow users to make receive phone calls without having to pair the watch with a smartphone. In essence, the Gear Solo would fully realize the Dick Tracy scenario that Samsung portrays in its TV commercial. Apparently, Samsung has already filed a patent with the Korean Intellectual operty Office for the Gear Solo name....

This is why Samsung launching a “help” app of sorts for its devices called Samsung+ made me so curious. Samsung’s phones are the most popular Android devices in the U.S., so it makes sense that the company would develop something specifically catered to helping those customers. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t just another piece of bloatware, so I tried it out for myself to see if it was something I should introduce to my mom....

The Galaxy A-series has been a runaway hit for Samsung this year. The company has launched some impressive handsets under the Galaxy A moniker this year including the Galaxy A20, Galaxy A30, Galaxy A50, Galaxy A70, and the Galaxy A90. These handsets run on One UI and pack plenty of features and customization options.
