My perennial advice for TV shoppers is to wait until the Black Friday season, around the end of November, for prices to drop before pulling the trigger on that fancy, new TV they’ve been eyeing. In 2019 that date seems to have come earlier than ever: Best Buy’s latest sale, through its high-end Magnolia subsidiary, …

Sure, we’ll find out everything we need to know about Google’s updated flagship phones, the Pixel 4 and 4 XL, in just a couple days at the company’s big Tuesday event. But it’s apparently never too late for a product leak (and there have been many for Pixel 4). Best Buy Canada on Saturday briefly posted a preorder page for the …

At the Oct. 15 Made by Google event, Google will officially unveil the Pixel 4 and 4 XL. This is Google’s opportunity to step up to the plate, especially since competitors like Apple took the wraps off its iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max phones for 2019, and Samsung is well underway selling its gazillion versions of the …

Amid a steady stream of leaks related to its upcoming Pixel 4 phone, Google released a “leak” of its own in July. The search giant posted a 22-second YouTube video of a woman in front of the new phone, waving her hands in the air to control the device from a few inches away. The video was accompanied by a …

Mobile phones are all screen, so it makes sense to get the best damn screen money can buy. Believe it or not, that screen may not come from Apple or Samsung; many would say it’s found on the Razer Phone. Though a bit long in the tooth (it debuted in December 2017), its 120Hz 5.7-inch screen, spectacular speakers and game-friendly …

Samsung’s The Frame is pretty damn cool. It’s a smart TV built to look like a picture frame. It comes with a black bezel (other colors are available separately), a no-gap wall mount and a collection of 100 works of art, which will show onscreen when the TV isn’t doing TV things. You can also upload your own photos (giant digital photo-frame!) …

Update, Sept. 22, 2021: Microsoft held its 2021 Surface event on Sept. 22, and unveiled the Surface Duo 2. The new folding phone features a faster processor, better cameras and many other upgrades compared to the Surface Duo.  Microsoft doesn’t want you to think of the newly announced Surface Duo as a phone. And the reasons are far from technical. …

Microsoft has released a Windows 10 update that comes with the ability to answer calls to your Android phone on your PC. The Calls feature in Windows uses your computer’s speakers, microphone and screen so you can answer incoming calls, make calls and decline calls. The Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18999 (20H1) was launched as an early release Tuesday …

When Microsoft announced the Surface Duo last week, offering its first take on smartphones since its $7 billion purchase of Nokia went up in smoke four years ago, some folks may have been shocked. But Microsoft has been building up to this for years. When you first see the Surface Duo, the thing that sets it apart is its dual 5.6-inch screens and its …

In August TCL gave us details on its new 2019 TVs, including an upgrade to the superb 2018 TCL 6-Series that adds QLED color and costs $800 for the 65-inch size. Now the Chinese TV maker’s higher-end model, the TCL 8-Series, goes on sale, bringing even better image quality specs and a price to match. It’s available for preorder starting today exclusively …
