The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge have been out on the market for quite some time now. They are both great handsets (currently among the best), and you may be having a hard time trying to decide which one is worth your hard-earned cash. We are here to put these phones head-to-head and help you decide.
First things first: I want to let you know I will be approaching this comparison a little bit differently.
Regardless of one’s personal opinion of Samsung and the evolution of its flagship smartphones and tablets, the brands “Galaxy S” and “Galaxy Tab S” are synonymous with one-thing, and one thing only: the Korean OEM’s top-tier, flagship Android products. Curious, then, that at CES earlier this month, the company unveiled the Galaxy TabPro S: it’s a high spec tablet that makes use of a 12-inch AMOLED display and that looks and sounds like it’s all up in Android’s business-centric business…yet is weirdly wed to Windows.
TL;DR
Samsung’s “custom colors” for the Galaxy S21 series appear to have leaked. Some colors work, while brown, red, and a carbon fiber gray might not be to everyone’s liking. You’ll likely have to venture beyond the US to get these options. Samsung is fond of releasing Galaxy phones in a wider variety of colors than you normally find in regions like North America, but whether or not you’ll enjoy its next palette is up for debate.

The Sony WF-1000XM4 feature LDAC support and even better noise-cancelling than the WF-1000XM3. Sony’s mobile app supports an ear tip fit test that makes it easy to get the optimal seal with the selection of ear tips. The Sony WF-1000XM4 are available today and retail for $279.99. Sony has defended its title as champion of noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds for some time now and isn’t letting up.
It might have taken Samsung more time than anyone expected, but the Galaxy S3 is finally out there and the “overwhelming demand and limited supply” issues that tormented a lot of tech geeks this past week are vanishing one by one.
Sprint, who announced that it will start shipping the S3 on June 21 a few weeks back, only managed to get a limited number of 16 GB models of the new flagship phone out on the promised date.

TL;DR
We ran polls asking which side you favor in the S21 Ultra vs Note 20 Ultra fight. The full totals of all the polls paint the Galaxy S21 Ultra as the clear winner. However, the votes within our re-review of the Note 20 Ultra fall overwhelmingly on its side. Of course, our opinion on the S21 Ultra vs Note 20 Ultra battle is just that: our opinion.
65-inch TVs are quickly becoming the sweet spot when it comes to features. At this size, you’ll see OLED and QLED panels, Dolby Vision and advanced HDR support, and improved build quality. You’ll need a decent amount of space in your living room, and the price tag can get up there, but 65-inch TVs allow for better content immersion.

You might get lucky with a third-party option, but honestly, it’s a gamble at best. The reason for this is that most 45W chargers use USB Power Delivery but the Samsung charger requires PPS (Programmable Power Supply) and that’s something that few (if any) third-party chargers seem to utilize.
The bottom line? We recommend you get the official 45W charger, linked below.

TL;DR
The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are getting their final update. The February 2022 security release is a cumulative one for the 2018 Pixels. Google won’t issue any more software updates for the phones. Google just rolled out the February 2022 Android security patch for Pixel phones, and it looks like this is the end of the road as far as updates are concerned for two of Google’s older flagships.
It’s important to note that although cloud gaming often allows you to play the same AAA games as other platforms, it differs from traditional consoles and PCs in very significant ways. So what is cloud gaming and how does it work? Let’s break it down.
What is cloud gaming?Also known as game streaming, cloud gaming refers to using cloud servers, rather than local devices, to run games. Essentially, the goal is to make high-end gaming experiences simpler and cheaper to access.
