After much hype and leaks, the OnePlus 5 was made official by the company today. Like the OnePlus 3/3T, the OnePlus 5 is an impressive smartphone for the specs it packs despite its higher price tag this time around. With a price tag upwards of $500, the OnePlus 5 is not as cheap as the OnePlus 3 from last year. OnePlus is justifying the increase in price by including a dual camera setup on the handset....
What you’re looking at above and below are photographs of what’s believed to be the metal frame of Samsung’s next high-end smartphone, the Galaxy S5. Said frame measures 143.83 mm tall by 72.27 mm wide. To put that into some perspective, the Galaxy S4 is 136.6 mm tall by 69.8 mm wide. Does this mean the S5 will have a larger screen than the S4? Of course it does, when has there ever been a new Samsung flagship phone that’s smaller than the old one?...
Each browser has multiple versions out there at any given time. Why? Because when updates are released, some people choose not to install them. This is not a good idea. Outdated versions of browsers can leave you and your personal information open to hacks. That’s because most browser updates contain critical security patches that keep hackers from taking advantage of known vulnerabilities. So it’s essential that you always have the most secure and updated version of your browser....
Basic eight-character passwords can now be cracked by consumer password recovery software in well under an hour. More experienced hackers armed with rainbow tables and other free tools can crack 14-character passwords – including alpha-numeric passwords with special characters – in less than three minutes. To stay one step ahead, systems administrators must encourage users to adopt longer, stronger passphrases. Adding numeric characters to a password and creating a passphrase – more of a sequence of words like “IamtheKeeper0fthi$Computer!...
Samsung, in a surprise to no one, announced earlier this month that the GS4 would come in two flavors. One would have a Qualcomm Snapdragon inside, while the other would have Samsung’s own Exynos chip. According to the Korean Electronic Times, apparently Samsung is having some issues making chips for the GS4. They say that 70% of the first 10 million GS4 units shipped will use a Qualcomm part....
Sony, eager to be first out of the gate, announced two flagship smartphones in early January, the Xperia Z and ZL. They’re both gorgeous, but just about every review of them on the internet notes that they have horrible viewing angles. That and they use a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, which there’s nothing wrong with, but come on, this is 2013, everyone is using the new Snapdragon 600. Which brings me to today’s leaked images....
What you’re looking at above and below are photos of what Techblog.gr claims to be the Toshiba AT10LE-A. It’s a 10.1 inch Android tablet with an unknown screen resolution. According to them, there’s an NVIDIA Tegra 4 inside. Back in February of this year I covered a DigiTimes story that said Toshiba was the first company to sign up to use the Tegra 4, so it’s nice to see that three months later the rumor appears to be true....
Novices can get a real feel for the basics of the web with “Build Responsive Real World Websites with HTML5 & CSS3,” which is a real crowd favorite: Students rated it 4.7 out of 5 stars. Instructor Jonas Schmedtmann worked his way through a master’s degree in engineering building websites, so he’s got lots of expertise to share. Move on to Python, the easiest programming language to learn and one of the most in-demand, with “The Python Mega Course: Build 10 Real World Applications”....
Starting at $1,229, the Yoga 9i ushers in the seventh generation of Lenovo’s ever-popular line of 2-in-1 convertibles. It flexes a new Comfort Edge design, an updated Intel 12th Gen processor, and, perhaps its biggest differentiator, a 14-inch 16:10 OLED display. With noticeable improvements across the board, the new Yoga 9i is arguably the best 2-in-1 laptop that you can buy right now. However, availability remains scarce and you may have to settle with pricier configurations for the time being....
LG today unveiled its Q6 series of smartphones featuring FullVision 18:9 aspect ratio display. These budget to mid-tier handsets feature FullHD+ display with a bezel-less design at the front similar to that of the LG G6. The LG Q6 lineup currently consists of three smartphones: the LG G6, Q6+, and the Q6a. All the three phones sport the same internals and the same 5.5-inch 18:9 FHD+ FullVision display with a resolution of 2160 x 1080....
With Google Maps, you can beat traffic with real-time ETAs and traffic conditions, find nearby bus stops, railway stations, restaurants, and more. But, what if you want to find a specific service as soon as possible. Let’s say you are shopping in a grocery store and having a shortage of money; you would look for an ATM. To find an ATM, you would search on Google terms like ‘Nearby ATM’ or the ATM name....
If the name catel One Touch doesn’t ring a bell to you, that’s because the company isn’t particularly well known throughout the U.S. catel has had a major h in mobile markets elsewhere around the world, particularly in Canada tin America, though its presence in the has doubled in the last year, its biggest sales are in sub-$300 devices. The tch—yes, it’s just simply called the tch—is catel’s attempt to exp beyond its rank as mid-tier phone tablet maker....
The basics are as before, with an aluminium unibody. At least, I assume it’s still all in one piece, but the new gold ridge around the outside might be an indication of a two stage design. The ridge is weird – is it to improve grip? Possibly. The feel in the hand isn’t as premium as on the M7 and M8 though. It’s just odd. You know and I know, as AndroidBeat readers and knowledgeable enthusiasts, that the ridge is part of the design, but an average person picking it up might easily just think the phone hadn’t been finished properly!...
What’s that? You want some explanation, too? I bring the analogy up because the two smartphones, despite their parity in tech consciousness, are very different in feel and ambition. The HTC One is sleek, metallic, sealed and perfectly formed, with nothing left to chance, part of a hermetically sealed universe in which nothing can go wrong. In contrast, the Galaxy S4 can get a little messy, with a peel off back, cheaper materials, bolt on batteries and memory cards, yet all providing more interest, more flexibility and more room for imagination....

For the folks out there that get a lot of emails, but don’t always want to deal with them as they come in, the ability to make it go away until a later time is a helpful feature. The “Snooze” feature is one that makes managing the inbox much easier, and now Inbox by Gmail is getting even better thanks to new options within the feature.

However, there are occasions when it isn’t apparent why you’re running out of space on your iPhone. These storage issues could be from the little-known Other categories. Other relatively large and diverse categories are difficult for most to pinpoint or describe. They mainly consist of system caches, logs, Siri voices and updates. Regardless, there are many ways that you can keep them from clogging up too much space on your phone....
It’s no doubt that the digital world around us is changing at a rapid pace. Now instant messaging apps are slowly replacing the text messages (SMS) sent via a wireless carrier’s network. Since these apps are primarily free and rely on the internet connection to exchange text messages, instant messaging apps attract more users. What’s more interesting is that Instant messaging apps also allow users to exchange photos, videos, GIFs, emojis, and files....
