The world has gotten a few more details on the recently unveiled HTC Exodus, the first “blockchain phone” announced by a major manufacturer. It will cost in the neighborhood of $1,000 (like its upcoming competitor, Sirin Labs’ Finney), with a real price announcement by the end of August, and will ship by the end of the year. That’s straight from …

Windows Phone is dead and it’s not coming back. Microsoft has long since pulled support for push notifications, and even Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates gave up his Windows phone in favor of an Android device. Once upon a time, Windows-based phones vied with BlackBerry, Palm and Nokia’s platforms to dominate the nascent smartphone world. But in the years following the 2007 introduction …

OnePlus recently announced it will release a limited-edition red OnePlus 6, available next week on July 10. Preorders have already begun.

The company’s first 5G phone will go on sale next year, it announced at Mobile World Congress Shanghai, sometime before the end of June 2019. It’ll follow Huawei’s first 5G Kirin chip, which it says will come in March. Earlier this year, 18 …

If you want the best deal on an OLED TV, it’s all about keeping an eye on current prices. And as summer begins in earnest, the 2017 versions are still my “bargain” picks, even after modest price drops on the 2018 models. This spring I reviewed LG’s 2018 OLED TV, the C8, and it’s the best-performing TV I’ve ever tested. …

LG Display will reportedly supply between 2 million and 4 million organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays for Apple iPhones. This number is small relative to Apple’s phone sales, Bloomberg notes, but solidifying LG as an OLED supplier would make Apple less reliant on Samsung, the sole source of displays for the iPhone X and its main rival in the smartphone …

Cameras have become one of the most important features on our phones. In phones’ early days, cameras were an afterthought — the original iPhone didn’t even record video. But now phone cameras can record 4K video, slow-mo and shoot beautiful portrait photos with artistically blurred backgrounds (bokeh). Phone makers have largely improved phone photography in two ways.
