The LG G8S ThinQ was announced alongside the standard G8 at MWC 2019 earlier this year. We’ve already seen the vanilla G8 land in several countries, but LG has finally launched the G8S model this week.
LG G8S ThinQ: What’s the difference? This LG variant stands out from the standard model by offering a triple rear camera trio instead of a dual rear camera setup. You’ve got a 12MP standard shooter, a 13MP ultra wide camera (137 degree FOV), and a 12MP 2x telephoto snapper.
Netflix has been putting out more original content than any other streamer since launching House of Cards in 2013. Its original movie slate has gotten huge in that time too, with some Oscar winners and big-budget blockbusters in the mix. Still, it can be hard to separate the wheat from the chaff at a glance. That’s why we’ve compiled this list of the best Netflix original movies to stream now.

TL;DR
The upcoming Motorola Moto G82 has leaked online. Moto’s new phone is tipped to offer similar specs to the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G. Motorola’s Moto G series doesn’t offer the most bang for buck, but these phones are still respectable, no-frills propositions for the most part. We’ve already seen the company step up with recent G series phones, and now the Moto G82 has leaked in all its glory.
These days everyone has their eyes and ears focused on the gap that is the pending launch of the Galaxy S6 Active. Will it truly bring back the removable battery and microSD card support? Will it have a QHD display? Will it make use of a trio of physical buttons again? And what of the camera? Rumors are abound, but nothing solid has yet to be sold by Samsung. On the other hand, those who owned the older Galaxy Active devices are no doubt wondering when their past purchase will be laced with Lollipop.
That means the S Pen included with the Galaxy Tab A will not have Bluetooth capabilities like the one that comes with the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. On the plus side, though, that means it also won’t need to be charged to fully work.
The Galaxy Tab A is no powerhouse. It features Samsung’s Exynos 7904 octa-core chipset, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage (which can be expanded up to 512GB using a microSD card), and an 8MP rear camera paired with a 5MP selfie camera.
The HTC U11 is here and it’s both familiar and, in a sense, completely new. It’s familiar because the U11 looks and feels like a refined version of the U Play and U Ultra, which HTC introduced earlier this year. And it’s new because it’s a departure from the iconic metallic design that most recent HTC flagships have been known for. Instead you get an eye-catching glass construction that’s very similar to the other phones in the U series.
Huawei Mate 9The Mate 9 brings a familiar design with more powerful internals, a clever dual camera and a revamped software experience. The result is an excellent big-screen Android smartphone that is easily Huawei's best ever.

The spectacular failure of the Galaxy Note 7 earlier this year has presented an opportunity for companies to create the best big-screen Android alternative and Samsung’s misfortune could play right into the hands of Chinese OEM Huawei.
Today is Star Wars Day! May the Fourth be with…oh, wait a minute, it’s actually time for the May 2020 Android security patch! If you own a Google Pixel smartphone (any except for the original Pixel), you can perform a software update check now in System Settings to grab the new patch. Conversely, you can update manually or simply wait for the OTA notification.
Speaking of feature drops, the most recent one was in the beginning of March.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3
When Google launched Android Wear in 2014, it did so with the help of two smartphone OEMs that wanted to help kickstart the smartwatch landscape on Android. The LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live were the first two Android Wear-powered watches to hit the scene. Shortly after that release, Samsung pivoted away from the platform and went all-in on its year-old operating system, Tizen.
