True wireless earbuds are becoming more affordable. If you’re after a stylish and affordable pair of ‘buds, the AirSounds Pro earbuds are now available for just $34.99.

Enjoy crisp Bluetooth 5.0 audio for up to four hours on a single charge.
You can listen for up to four hours and then pop the buds back in the case to recharge on the go.
If you’re a Galaxy Nexus owner wanting to enjoy a taste of sweet Nougat, now you can thanks to a ROM created by the Unlegacy-Android project. The project, headed by developers MWisBest and Ziyan, aims to bring current Android features to hardware that’s no longer officially supported; the Galaxy Nexus is the latest device on the list.
The new ROM file was spotted in an XDA Developers forum post and it seems to be stable, though issues with GPS and mobile data have been noted.
The modular nature of the LG G5 is easily its most intriguing new feature, not only for the range of standalone peripherals and insertable modules it supports but also for what it means for LG going forward. If the idea is picked up it could mean huge things for not only LG but smartphones in general, but it could also signal bad things for the G series if it doesn’t catch one.
Back in early September, Microsoft announced it was buying Nokia’s smartphone division in a move that is meant to help Microsoft’s solidify its in-house hardware development efforts. For many Nokia fans, this news was pretty upsetting – especially for those of us that dreamed of the day we’d see a Nokia handset running on the power of Android.

North Focals
North's Focals are a worthy successor to Google Glass, and seem to be getting even better with a second-generation right around the corner.
If you’ve done any research on smart glasses, there’s no doubt you’ve come across Focals by North. By the look of them, it’s pretty clear they’re a first-generation product. They’re flexible. They’re thick on the sides. But considering no other company has even come close to delivering the experience and feature set of Focals, they’re a pretty killer first-gen product.

If these promises hold up in consumer devices, Qualcomm’s latest Plus model will be a notable step up from this year’s so-so Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
