Replacing a shattered screen on your OnePlus 5 can be quite expensive. That’s why it’s always a good idea to invest in a screen protector that will not only minimize the chances of the display getting cracked if you drop the device to the ground but will also shield it from scratches.
There are a number of different OnePlus 5 screen protectors available on the market, so it can be hard at times to choose the best one.
Back in March, Google’s own François Beaufort teased on Google+ that the Chromium team was working on an experimental New Tab page that would render much better looking icons instead of thumbnails of your most visited websites in Chrome. Larger icons, in this instance, are a much cleaner looking replacement, though the feature still has yet to roll out to the masses. But now in the most recent version of Chrome Beta for Android, you can turn on this new feature by simply enabling a few flags.
The newly announced LG G3 is a feature packed flagship handset, offering up a range of cutting edge technologies that give other flagships a run for their money. Although the QHD display might be the talk of the town, there’s another really interesting piece of technology tucked away in the LG G3’s camera – laser auto focus.
As the name implies, the LG G3 make use of a laser sensor system to adjust the focus of the handset’s rear camera, rather than say phase detection focusing used in the Galaxy S5 and more expensive DSLR cameras, or the popular contrast detection method.
We saw leaked images and renders of the sleek red colorway for the S20 Plus earlier this month. However, we didn’t see that there will be a matching set of Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus, too. The phone and the earbuds look positively divine together. See for yourself below:
Unfortunately, Samsung is getting quite confusing with the naming scheme for these products. The YouTube video above makes it very clear that the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus Aura Red color is also referred to as “Jennie Red.
It was nearly two years ago now, I was sitting in a coffee shop with my brother and a couple of his friends. One of them turned to me, “wow, that is a huge phone! What is it?” I laughed, then proceeded to explain that it was my brand new Nexus 7 tablet, not a phone at all. We joked about how silly it would be to have a phone that large, then went back to our debate on Buell vs Ducati motorcycles.

Some people are born to be note-takers and readers, diligently scribbling down this and jotting down that until their fridge or bulletin board is full of lists, reminders, and to-dos. Huawei believes it can help these people with the MatePad Paper.

A Wireless Power Consortium filing for the Google Pixel Buds Pro confirms they will have wireless charging. The Buds Pro will charge at 2.5W, or half that of the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds. This is the same speed as the 2020 second-gen Pixel Buds. At Google I/O 2022, Google had a few surprising hardware announcements. Not only did it launch the expected Google Pixel 6a, but it also pre-announced several other products.

Now, SamMobile‘s sources have confirmed all the expected colors for Samsung’s clamshell foldable phone. The website reports that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip will be available in Gold, Black, Purple, and Silver colors at launch.
Furthermore, SamMobile says the Silver model will have a “football-like” pattern on it. We’re not sure if they mean “football” as in soccer or “football” as in gridiron.
