A challenger for the iPhone 7? Sony's brand new Xperia smartphones come with top cameras
Sony isn’t generating the same buzz in the phone business like Apple or Samsung, or OnePlus for that matter, but the company has consistently improved its devices over the years. At IFA 2016, Sony came out with a couple of new smartphones, including its first Xperia XZ flagship and a Xperia X Compact model. Aside from top specs, the phones also propose an innovative camera experience, featuring some tricks that some of its competitors might lack. The new Xperia phones may very well be some of t..>> view originalSamsung's Gear S3 has lost what made the Gear S2 special
My big highlight from last year’s IFA 2015 was the Samsung Gear S2, a smartwatch that finally, truly felt like a normal watch. It was light, its wristband was supple and comfortable, and it had a rotating bezel and a software interface that both felt fresh, unique, and just fun to use. Today at IFA 2016, Samsung introduced the successor to that glorious little watch, and it’s a big old thing bearing the title of Gear S3. The new watch has GPS, LTE, a long-lasting battery, the latest Gorilla Gla..>> view originalSony's new headphones cancel noise, but not people's voices
One of the biggest problems with wearing headphones — ...aside from this... — is losing awareness of the sounds around you. Once loud music is playing, you can’t hear if a friend is trying to talk to you, or if there’s an announcement on the subway, or if something falls and breaks in the room next to you. It’s all cut out, especially if you’re using noise cancellation. Sony is trying to solve that problem with its latest pair of headphones, the elegantly named MDR-1000X. The headphones have se..>> view originalFirst Click: Apple's tax dispute sets the stage for a US-EU showdown
The European Commission’s decision on Apple’s tax deals in Ireland sent shockwaves across the world this week, after the Irish government was ordered to collect up to $14.5 billion in back taxes from the company. Both Apple and Ireland have said they’ll appeal the decision, with CEO Tim Cook writing a lengthy letter in defense of the company’s tax practices. Experts say the decision could mark a shift in how the EU polices so-called sweetheart tax deals for multinational companies, followi..>> view originalHands on: Lenovo Yoga 910
Though it remains unclear if the 2-in-1 will catch on with the mainstream, the devices have become something of a halo product (not to be confused with the Halo keyboard Lenovo just announced). I say that because building one – or more specifically, a good one – is proof of a company’s engineering clout. But it’s not easy. Ideally, a 2-in-1 should be a great laptop and a great tablet. In reality, that’s not yet possible. So designers must choose, and most seem to give preference to portability...>> view originalHP's Elite Slice mini-PC stacks up features with snap-on modules
Building a tricked-out PC from scratch can be a satisfying experience. But it's not for everyone, which is why we have modular desktops like HP's new Elite Slice. The Elite Slice is a mini-PC that lets users add features just by snapping external modules onto the main box. No more unscrewing the chassis just to add a component. The modules stack up underneath the base unit. A proprietary connector based on the USB 3.1 protocol binds the PC with the modules. Snapping modules onto the Eli..>> view originalWhat to expect from Apple's 'See You' iPhone event
The next iPhone: Apple giveth, and Apple taketh awayRendering of the rumored "iPhone 7 Plus" by Martin Hajek.Historically, Apple has introduced a major redesign of the iPhone every two years, with a milder "S" update in between. However, this year is something special: The Wall Street Journal and other sources expect the next iPhones (unofficially known as the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus) to play it safe. While there will reportedly be more substantial outward changes than you saw in the iPhone 6s, the..>> view originalSamsung Stops Galaxy Note 7 Smartphone Shipments as Safety Suspicions Spread
