Along with its new G5 smartphone, LG unveiled a wide range of mobile accessories, dubbed the LG Friends, to complement its latest flagship. During its launch event, LG proudly presented its LG Hi-Fi Plus and B&O PLAY modular audio accessory. In short, this is a portable Hi-Fi digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) and headphone amplifier developed in collaboration with Danish audio experts Bang and Olufsen.
The hardware promises top of the line specifications and Hi-Fi sound for those with acute ears.
A decade ago, people still furiously pecked at the physical keyboards of BlackBerries and some Android phones. Swipe-typing wasn’t a thing yet and many clung to the notion that a smartphone must include real buttons to press. These preferences faded over time, and phones with keys largely died out. Still, some die-hards remain and it is those folks Fxtec is targeting with the Pro1.
The Fxtec Pro1 features a full-sized screen and a physical keyboard that hides behind the screen when not in use.
Update 07/03/2017: The Galaxy Note 7 FE will be priced at 699,000 KRW, roughly $600, when it goes on sale this Friday. The news arrives via The Korea Herald (and the image above via @samkimasia), which also noted that Samsung Bixby functionality has been added to the refurbished phones. Bixby is Samsung's Siri-like digital assistant found on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. Despite being an anticipated new smartphone feature from Samsung, Bixby was somewhat undercooked at the time of the S8 launch and has only just recently been expanded with the voice portion of the service.
Nvidia makes some of the most powerful GPUs out there right now. While Nvidia arrived a bit late on the graphics card manufacturing scene in 1993, it made quick progress. Many GPU manufacturers of the era have since then been acquired or gone out of business, while Nvidia has come to be the industry leader.
Nvidia offers quite a few GPUs in its lineup, divided according to series. Picking the best Nvidia graphics card for you can be tough.

Just a few days ago, Google gave users the opportunity to sign up to test beta builds of its Gboard app for Android. Not only do beta tests help Google squash some bugs before a full rollout, but they’re also a good way for users to try out new features as soon as possible.
The first public beta build of Gboard for Android rolled out last week, bringing a number of new features that are certain to help users communicate much quicker.
OnePlus released its first set of true wireless earbuds last year, known as OnePlus Buds. While we gave them decent marks for sound quality and value, we were quite upset to find that there was no way to update OnePlus Buds without a recent OnePlus phone.
In short, you couldn’t deliver firmware updates to any of OnePlus’ true wireless earbuds without a OnePlus 6 or newer phone from the brand. Even the OnePlus 5T cannot push firmware updates to the headphones, not to mention phones from other OEMs.
The five wallpapers are variations of pictures that seem to show rocks that have some unusual shapes. Each stone has a different color scheme. This seems to be a different take on the multicolor rock formations that were used as the basis for the Galaxy Tab S7 wallpapers which also leaked before the tablet launched.
You can download all five of the Note 20 wallpapers in full resolution at the link below.
The Razer Phone 2 U.S. release date has been set for October 22. Razer has had the phone available for pre-order since October 11, but it quietly confirmed when the device would start shipping only this week (spotted by Phone Arena).
The release date is set on both the official Razer website and the Microsoft website where you can order the phone for $799. Neither store offers an additional extra to sweeten the deal, but shipping is free, and Razer says it should take 2 to 4 days to arrive if you order via its website.

TL;DR
The Sony Exmor IMX800 just leaked. The smartphone camera sensor could be a 50MP 1/1.1-inch unit, the largest ever from the brand. Rumors suggest it could land with the Xiaomi 12 Ultra. When it comes to smartphone cameras, it’s not just the number of lenses that you need to worry about. The sensor(s) underneath those lenses are also very important and, in general, bigger is better.
