Samsung and T-Mobile have teamed up to quietly launch a new, affordable smartphone onto the market. The Galaxy Avant will not be catching any stares from individuals who want the best specifications possible in their phone, but anyone looking to get a mid-range device for cheap will certainly want to take a second look. By and large, the Galaxy Avant from Samsung doesn’t compare at all to devices like the Galaxy S5 or HTC One (M8), but it’s not supposed to....

Looks like Samsung may just be going a little overboard this time around with the gold hue. While we’ve seen plenty of leaks in the past centered on Samsung’s “better” Galaxy S5, after they officially unveiled the Galaxy S5 LTE-A for South Korea earlier this month, most people thought the Galaxy F would disappear. That’s apparently not the case.

It’s been 11 days since I last wrote about my experiences of using the Galaxy Mega 6.3 as my one and only mobile phone.

Now before you continue reading, here’s are links to the two articles I’ve already written about the device....

To ensure that you are not distracted from whatever you are doing, Samsung has streamlined its notifications in One UI 2.0/Android 10 and made them more compact. The call UI pop-up and the volume bar have been streamlined and reduced in size for this. While One UI already had Dark Mode before Google added it to Android 10, Samsung has further improved it with One UI 2.0. Dark Mode now extends to the home screen and it now also adjusts the brightness of text and images to reduce eye strain....

With the suggestive name of Montecrypto: The Bitcoin Enigma, the first-person exploration game contains “24 complex puzzles,” according to its Steam page.

OnePlus’ co-founder Carl Pei was telling me about the launch of the next OnePlus device. The company had decided to do away with the conventional launch approach and make the device’s launch totally online. Not many thought that it would succeed. But it totally was in line with the company’s motto of Never Settle. “It is not really regular, is it?” I remarked. Carl laughed in his typically boyish manner and said, “Hey, we are OnePlus....

When OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus 6 in London last week, it did not mention anything about Dash Charging.

The Razer Leviathan V2 is the latest soundbar from the California-based gaming company, and it builds on the foundation of its 2015 predecessor with a new and improved feel and finish.

The Galaxy A12 was spotted on the company’s Russian support page. It is listed with a model number SM-A125F/DSN. Previous reports claimed Galaxy A12 would have an SM-A125F model number.
