Some good news for those of you still looking to pick up the Sony Xperia Z2, the device has seen a major price slash in the U.S., bringing the unlocked phone down to just $579.99. Not half bad considering the initial price at U.S. launch was $749.99.
Perhaps the best feature of the Xperia Z2 is its 20.7MP camera. I will never get tired of sharing with you the photos a dev unit took in Tokyo back in February.
If you’ve ever played around with Amazon’s Echo, then you’ll know that Alexa makes for a pretty savvy personal assistant. However, there’s only one problem: your Echo is stuck at your house. Well, now you can have Alexa on the go with CoWatch.
CoWatch isn’t made by Amazon, a company which has a justified timidity when it comes to producing hardware. Rather, this is an offering from a company called iMCO, but Amazon has given them the go ahead to use the personal assistant on their smartwatch.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are two of the most anticipated smartphones of the year. Both of them just stopped by the FCC, which means we have a few new interesting details regarding the smartphones to share with you.
The FCC filings reveal the smartphones’ model numbers that are SM-G950U (Galaxy S8) and SM-G955U (Galaxy S8 Plus). The last letter — U — means that these are both unlocked devices.
Pioneering a new technology isn’t cheap. The latest foldable display technology seen in the Samsung Galaxy Fold, Huawei Mate X, and even the Royole FlexPai is expensive. Too expensive for the general consumer to make 2019 the year of the foldable phone, despite the exciting revolution in design thinking.
This is partly the outcome of first-generation devices based on first-generation innovations.
At the same time, these foldable devices are intentionally made to be super high-end devices, packed with marvels.
The upcoming PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are already generating a ton of hype and speculation. The two next-generation consoles promise to be faster and more powerful than any console we have seen before. Yet, given all we know so far, their main competitor, the Nintendo Switch is looking better than ever.
Few companies have taken as many risks or transformed their products as much as Nintendo. It hasn’t always paid off, but the Japanese company struck gold with the Nintendo Switch.

Launching Google Lens is pretty easy: long-press on the home button to launch Google Assistant, and then click the Lens icon in the lower right-hand corner.

Update (02/12): Another handful of Android Wear devices are receiving the Oreo update. Google posted an update about the new devices in its Android Wear support pages (via Android Police) yesterday, though its terminology is a little unclear. Google says the devices below are “currently pursuing" the Android Wear Oreo update. We don't know if that means it's rolling out, about to roll out, or rolling out in a year's time, but the update has already been spotted on the Huawei Watch 2 so it's likely happening now or very soon for all of them.
