We’ve known since last year that Samsung had a foldable clamshell smartphone in the works, but now it appears we’re getting our first peek at the forthcoming device, widely reported to be called the Galaxy Z Flip. The first taste comes courtesy of mobile leaker and renderer Ben Geskin, who posted a brief video on …

Streaming the 2020 Super Bowl is sure to be a popular way for cord cutters and other fans who don’t pay for cable or satellite TV service to experience the big game. But there’s a catch. No matter which livestreaming app you choose to watch the Super Bowl, from the Fox Sports app to the NFL app to a live …

Here’s the scenario: The big game is in a few hours and all you have to watch it on is a tiny 42-inch TV. Like some sort of caveman. Well, fear not: There’s still time to close the deal on a new 65-inch set and have it ready in time for kickoff. Over at Best Buy, I found the TCL …

This story is part of CES, where CNET covers the latest news on the most incredible tech coming soon. In a packed ballroom at the Mirage hotel at CES 2020, a neon green logo beckoned me toward it like a siren calling to sailors in The Iliad. Fortunately for me there were no treacherous rocks waiting to send me to …

After an uneven start in 2019, foldable phones have another chance in 2020 to prove that they should exist — not just as a fad, but as a viable design for future phones. The Samsung Galaxy Fold, Huawei Mate X and new Motorola Razr all suffered from an inconvenient delay or worse. I can forgive them, at least in retrospect. In 2020, we …

Recently I told you about a free phone-service plan from TextNow. It doesn’t include data, but it does let you make unlimited calls and send unlimited text messages. All you need is the right phone to go with it, namely one that works on Sprint’s network. If you don’t have one sitting in a drawer, here’s an extremely affordable option: …

Stud-finders are just the worst. In my experience, they tend to beep more or less at random, never sounding off in the same spot more than once. Sinking a nail into my wall is generally more faith than science. A better option: an in-wall imager, which uses radar to paint a picture of the inside of your wall on a …

At least one US phone company apparently violated federal law in regard to disclosing real-time location data of customers, the Federal Communications Commission said Friday. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said in a letter to several members of Congress that the commission’s Enforcement Bureau had reached that conclusion after an investigation and that any violators could face a penalty. The FCC’s …

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day, when America observes a bizarre annual ritual in which we’ve collectively agreed that if a burrowing rodent sees its shadow, we’ll be subjected to six more weeks of winter. No shadow, on the other hand, means an early spring. No matter which way the magical marmot leans, there’re still enough cold days ahead that you might …

Windows 10 has been around for five years, but it’s only now that Microsoft’s support for Windows 7 is dead and gone that the question arises: How long will Windows 10 last before Microsoft replaces it? Will we see a Windows 11 at some point? Luckily, we know the answer. Microsoft has a long-established Fixed Lifecycle Policy for many of …

Amazon was once again in the $1 trillion club, though just for a short while. The online retail giant’s market capitalization topped $1 trillion Friday, opening at $2,051.47 a share after reporting strong earnings on Thursday. Shares lost some of their momentum throughout the day, closing at $2,008.72, which puts the company’s market cap at around $995 billion. Amazon’s stock …

Virtual reality seems like it’s undergone a dramatic refocusing over the past year: away from PCs, and toward do-it-all self-contained headsets like the groundbreaking Oculus Quest. A very Oculus Quest-like standalone VR headset ended up on my face at CES in Las Vegas, one of a number of VR demos I tried at the show. The Pico Neo 2 Eye …
