So if you want to at least get some semblance of what it might be like to use the new S8 on your S7 or S7 Edge, here’s the quick […]

How to Get an Unlimited WiFi HotSpot for Traveling Overseas (Video)

Traveling is one of my favorite things to do. Meeting interesting people, learning about new cultures/languages, and there’s something about the uncomfortable nature one gets when traveling alone that I thoroughly enjoy. Something I don’t enjoy about the traveling experience is losing my connection to everyone back home or the inability to access pertinent information while traveling because of shoddy wifi access, my phone not working like it does back home, etc. This year, when getting ready for Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, I received something that – I didn’t know at the time – would become something that was

You guys wanted me to find it, so I did.

LG Launches the LG G6: Waterproof, Tiny Bezel, Google Assistant & More

Welp, it might come as less of a surprise thanks to all the leaks that we’ve been seeing, but the LG G6 is finally official. And it’s no joke. My Hands-On Video: First up is the screen. A 5.7″ 2880 x 1440 touchscreen with a unique 18:9 ratio, in other words, it’s a bit taller than it is wide compared to more traditional 16:9 screen. Think of it as that ultrawide monitor people like for their computers. The screen also has a pretty tiny bezel on the sides and no physical buttons (thank god, Android has buttons on screen

How to Root the Google Pixel & Pixel XL (Video)

The Pixel and Pixel XL are not the easiest to root. Google has added a lot of security to the system files and, long story short, developers have had to cleverly come up with a systemless root method (which is way harder than it sounds). On top of this, Google removed the recovery partition which was used heavily in most rooting methods as well as being used for flashing custom ROMs etc. Chainfire, recognized master of all things root (might be his official title?), though has developed a version of SuperSU (the program used to control what apps get root permissions

6 Best Browsers for Android To Make Your Web Browsing Better

We spend a lot of time surfing the web. From doing research on products, to asking questions to things we just need to know the answers to immediately, to reading the news and whatever else we want to find.

Huawei P9 and P9 Plus are two of the premium smartphones by the Chinese manufacturer and the company believes these two will give a tough competition to the rivals like the Galaxy and Note series phones from Samsung.
