Samsung Samsung Galaxy BudsWithout question, these are the perfect complement to the Samsung Galaxy S10 lineup. The earbuds' remarkable battery life separates it from the crowd of true wireless contenders, while its easy-to-operate touch controls make quick commands a breeze. The price reductions make the Galaxy Buds even more appealing as the holiday season approaches. The Samsung Galaxy Buds were announced alongside the Samsung Galaxy S10 series and theGalaxy Fold at Samsung Unpacked 2019, promising Android users a premium competitor to Apple’s AirPods.

The Galaxy S5 Active is not a watered down (no pun intended) flagship in a rugged body. It IS a flagship. If you loved everything about the Galaxy S5, but you wished it could take more of a beating, than the S5 Active is a perfect solution. The Samsung Galaxy S5, with it’s IP67 certification, features protection from dust and the occasional splash in the water. But what if that protection isn’t enough?

Huawei Watch GT 2 ProThe Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro is essentially a GT 2 with wireless charging and better build materials. If you like that watch or the more recent GT 2e you'll like this one. Specs are practically identical across all three variants but some new software improvements manage to eke out a little more performance from what is now year-old hardware. Not worth an upgrade but still worth checking out if you want wireless charging or titanium, ceramic, or sapphire glass in your watch.

There are plenty of other brands that offer Bluetooth headphones in every conceivable style, color, and price point, many of which also tout a great listening experience. If that’s the case, then why would anyone spend $350 on a pair of expensive headphones such as the Sony WH1000XM3 or the Bose QuietComfort 35 II? It seems like you’re just overpaying for something you could get for less without the brand name attached.

Update, November 13, 2019 (09:28 AM ET): You can now finally buy the LG G8X ThinQ unlocked in the United States. As of right now, the device only appears to be available unlocked from B&H Photo, but we expect it will land at other retail outlets — including Amazon and Best Buy — very soon. In the meantime, you can buy the innovative dual-screen device unlocked from B&H for $700 or buy carrier-locked versions from Sprint and AT&T.

The Essential Phone. TL;DR Android 8.1 Oreo is now rolling out to the Sprint variant of the Essential Phone. The update arrives almost a month after it rolled out for the unlocked Essential Phone. The update brings security patches, bug fixes, and more. If you own the Sprint variant of the Essential Phone, check your device for a software update. Android 8.1 Oreo is rolling out now for your device.

In its latest teardown video, iFixit took apart the new Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus. iFixit labeled the previous generation Galaxy Buds the easiest wireless earbuds on the market to repair. The Galaxy Buds Plus continue that trend, scoring a cool 7/10 in its repairability scale. Now, we acknowledge that needing wireless earbud repairs is relatively unheard of, but it’s nice to know you have the option. Plus, a higher repairability score means the Galaxy Buds Plus are easier to disassemble, making them significantly more economical to recycle when you need to dispose of them.

Breaking a smartphone screen is never fun, especially if it is an expensive one like the Google Pixel and Pixel XL. And it all turns to hell if you are very dependent on your smartphone. Of course, sending the device to a manufacturer is always an option, but that takes days (if not weeks). Is there a better solution? Don’t worry about going to shady repair shops, which may not even have the parts you need.

Update, March 6, 2020 (3:05AM ET): After a cameo that lasted for almost a year, Google is pulling the voice of John Legend from the Google Assistant. The company made the announcement through its Twitter handle, saying that the singer’s Assistant voice will not be available after March 23. You still have a couple of weeks before this happens, so make the most of Legend’s serenading voice, that is, if you’re a fan.

I am so excited for October! It’s just around the corner and during which, I expect, we’ll see the launch of the most exciting smartphone of the year. No, not the Google Pixel 3 — the OnePlus 6T, the ninth overall smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer.
