Over the past month or so, a strange bug has been affecting the Lenovo Smart Display. In some cases, voice responses from Google Assistant would start at 0% volume, then slowly raise to the actual volume after a few words. Multiple owners have reported the bug, including our own Artem (#artemsluck), but Lenovo says the […]
The Google Home app only gets an update around once a month, but that generally means that more changes are implemented each time. With version 2.8, a Routines button has been added to the home screen, and there’s now a deep link to the Nest app in the Thermostat and Camera sections. Left: v2.7. Right: […]
Update 1: 2018/11/15 8:12am PST Update 2: 2018/12/13 3:58am PST After tentatively launching in the US in May, Google One, aka Google’s new unified storage plans and service, has been shyly expanding. It didn’t become available to “everyone” in the US until August, and even then, there were plenty of exceptions that meant not all users were […]
OnePlus is something of a Cinderella story in the smartphone world. It seemed to appear out of nowhere, releasing a phone with numbers that matched the best the likes of Samsung and HTC had to offer – and did it at half the price. The OnePlus One went viral in a way few products do, […]

Sometimes a phone makes it all the way to release without so much as a tiny leak, but the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition is definitely not one of those. We’ve seen images of the supposed new 6T variant pop up in the last week or two, and they were dead-on. The OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition includes more […]
With every few updates, Google Maps seems to walk closer and closer to a full-fledged refresh of its Material interface, helping it go along with the new direction Google is taking this year with its app design language. We’ve seen a new look for the main interface, an updated side menu, overhauled hotel listings, new […]
Essential’s PH-1 was criticized at launch for some valid reasons, like a mediocre camera, high price tag, and lack of a headphone jack. But great software and a falling price have earned it a small but impassioned cult following. Now the high-end niche phone from 2017 has a high-end niche audio accessory to go with […]
LG’s announcement of the Watch W7 was met with jeers and derision. That was not only because mechanical hands on a smartwatch are a bit silly, but LG wanted a whopping $450 for the device. That was a tough sell in a world where Android smartwatches have yet to prove their utility, but that price […]
In the ongoing battle against the bezel, smartphone manufacturers have been investing in various design ideas to increase screen-to-body ratio. With the Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition the idea is – as you can probably guess from the product name – to use a second screen on the rear by the cameras, thus removing the […]
