Posted: 01 Apr 2016 06:04 PM PDT A few days ago, Microsoft revealed that the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update would support notification mirroring for Android devices. This magic is made possible with Action Center in the cloud and Cortana for Android, giving users the ability to, not only view and dismiss Android notifications on their desktop, but interact with them too. |
Samsung reportedly looking to launch their first folding smartphone next year Posted: 01 Apr 2016 05:10 PM PDT It's been a good while since we last saw a foldable Android device hit the market, so maybe we're overdue. After the Kyocera Echo and the Sony Tablet P launched ages ago, it appears Samsung could be next in line, hoping to strike it big with a foldable device of their own. |
Google apologizes for Gmail’s ‘Mic Drop’ prank gone wrong Posted: 01 Apr 2016 04:17 PM PDT Google has a long history of participating in the day's festivities, which is usually filled with all sorts of surprises from their individual products and services. When it came to the Gmail team, they introduced a new feature called "Mic Drop" but things didn't go according to plan. |
Posted: 01 Apr 2016 02:37 PM PDT If you've been hanging onto a Verizon unlimited plan and weren't affected by last November's price increase, Phase 2 could fix that. Even if it doesn't, there's still a Phase 3 coming in the future that should help wing you off unlimited data. |
Walmart is offering $150-off any Samsung Galaxy smartphone, including the Galaxy S7 Posted: 01 Apr 2016 01:35 PM PDT If you're looking for a good deal on a new smartphone, Walmart could be your best bet. The retailer is having a "Rollback" promotion, discounting the price of all Samsung Galaxy smartphones by a full $150. |
Posted: 01 Apr 2016 12:14 PM PDT Custom ROM fans feared the worst after finding the Samsung Galaxy S7 (Snapdragon 820 variants) were locked down tight, killing any hopes of 3rd party ROM development. It seems the LG G5 is a completely different affair (the T-Mobile version anyway), featuring an unlockable bootloader so easy, it's being described as Nexus-like. |
Kanye West breaks down, makes The Life of Pablo available on Google Play Music, Spotify and more Posted: 01 Apr 2016 11:39 AM PDT "My album will never never never be on Apple. And it will never be for sale... You can only get it on Tidal." Those were the words from Kanye West shortly after he debuted his latest album, The Life of Pablo. Welp, that's no longer true -- it's on Apple Music and everything else, too. |
Official LG G5 commercial features a city filled with Jason Stathoms running amok [VIDEO] Posted: 01 Apr 2016 11:11 AM PDT If you thought the first LG G5 teaser commercials were a little... odd, it seems they were part of a bigger, much more weird picture. LG has contracted action superstar Jason Stathom to star in a series of LG G5 ad spots highlighting all the best features of the phone. Okay, it's single best feature: a "fun" new modular design. |
The HTC 10 Mini could have a Snapdragon 823 chipset (and a not-so-mini 4.7-inch display) Posted: 01 Apr 2016 10:09 AM PDT We're patiently awaiting the HTC 10's unveiling, but that's no matter for the rumor mill -- spin-offs of the non-existent devices are already being talked about. This time we're hearing that HTC will be reintroducing the Mini variant of their annual flagship series. |
Blackberry PRIV’s Marshmallow update won’t arrive until May Posted: 01 Apr 2016 08:52 AM PDT Blackberry held a conference call today to talk about their Q1 performance. It wasn't good. But you don't really care about that, do you? You might care more about this if you're a proud owner of a Blackberry PRIV: the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update won't be out this month. |
Mobile Roar 132: Samsung Good Lock is weird, bad Amazon Prime deals, and more! Posted: 01 Apr 2016 07:29 AM PDT In this episode we're talking about the death of Windows Phone. For real this time.

It was only then that it was discovered LG may be using a good deal of plastic in a device that's supposed to be a metal unibody build. |
