Along with the latest Chromecast with Google TV streaming device came a revamped Google Play Movies & TV app. Within this app, you can find shows and films to watch and add media to your watchlist. The big benefit of this function is that you can search across streaming providers — of which there are too many.
Now, don’t freak out quite yet: there is still Netflix on Google TV through the Chromecast.

Crowdfunding isn’t a new concept and while many projects do fail to see the light of day, just occasionally, we’re treated to a project that has the potential to alter the way we use technology.
The Huawei Mate 20 Pro can power up any other Qi-enabled smartphone, including the Google Pixel 3, LG V40, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Using your phone as a power bank is one thing, but it feels pretty futuristic to wirelessly transfer power from one phone to another. However, does this feature work as well as intended?
How to enable reverse wireless charging Unfortunately, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro doesn’t offer a quick toggle to enable reverse wireless charging.

Today, there will be a Nothing event in which CEO Carl Pei will have some product announcements. There is heavy speculation that the company has a new smartphone in the works. You can watch the event here at 10:00 AM ET. When former OnePlus executive Carl Pei announced his new company called Nothing, the assumption was that he would be making smartphones. After all, that’s what OnePlus excelled at while Pei was there.

Samsung has shared a trailer for Galaxy Unpacked 2020 that not-so-subtly hints at five devices. The Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Z Fold 2, Galaxy Watch 3, Galaxy Buds Live, and Galaxy Tab S7 appear to be on deck. The event takes place August 5. Samsung isn’t even trying to hide what it will announce at its Galaxy Unpacked event — it just posted a trailer that provides a clear indication of what to expect at the August 5 virtual media gala.
In a crowded market of phone cases, brands tend to come and go with each new launch. Sometimes it’s due to design, while other times a cheap knockoff swoops in to eat up sales. With so many brands launching and folding, how have these three managed to keep going?
We’ll dig into what makes each of SUPCASE, i-Blason, and Clayco tick, and see the path that each one has taken to get to where it is today.
Samsung is a leader in Android smartphone design. The company makes high-end devices that deserve their asking prices. It isn’t afraid to try new innovations, and after many lessons it’s also careful not to alienate fans. The Galaxy S9 phones introduced plenty of new features, but it also took the wants of consumers into account. It retained a headphone jack, moved its fingerprint sensor to a more sensible spot, and offered fast wired and wireless charging — all without a notch.
The chances of malware making its way onto your iPhone or iPad are not so high, as long as you exercise some common sense. Installing apps from the App Store, for example, will minimize your risk as Apple has very strict safeguards in place. Nevertheless, an iPhone and an iPad are still mini computers, and as such, are still susceptible to viruses and malware. So what do you do if you suspect your iOS device has malware?
When T-Mobile began to launch their “Uncarrier” brand refresh, their third phase (after eliminating handset subsidies followed by their Jump upgrade program) involved offering free overseas data roaming in more than 100 countries for subscribers of T-Mobile’s Simple Choice plans. Those roaming in the countries would have the ability to use T-Mobile’s 2G EDGE network with speeds around 128 kbps.
Last month, T-Mobile released a survey that found customers abroad:
Call three times as much Text seven times more often Use 28 times more data than they did previously 53% more now roam on cellular in supported countries than before the current plans.
