Google’s line of smartwatches formerly known as Android Wear, now known as Wear OS, have suffered from sameness and repetition. Lots of manufacturers, too much mediocrity and none of them really good at all. Samsung has its own imminent smartwatch revamp on its way: the Samsung Galaxy Watch. The next Apple Watch is expected this …

Google’s campus boasts fewer hacks and greater security over the last year and a half, thanks to little keychains that replace entering passwords. Google is selling its own Titan Security Key later this summer, in both USB/NFC and Bluetooth versions. CNET’s Alfred Ng has already been using one. Last year, I tried something similar, briefly: the Token Ring, a wearable with its …

A future Samsung Galaxy phone (although likely not this Galaxy phone) could have a flexible screen that’s unbreakable, delivering the first truly foldable handset. The Korean electronics giant said Wednesday that its recently developed phone panel has been certified by Underwriters Laboratories, meaning it’s ready to start shipping to consumers in actual devices. Samsung said it expects the new panel …

We already knew Fortnite, the biggest video game on planet Earth, would be coming to Android this summer. But if a new slate of rumors are to be believed, it could be as a timed exclusive for Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 9.  Sources speaking to both 9to5Google and XDA Developers revealed Fortnite’s Android release is likely to launch alongside Samsung’s new flagship …

Update, August 2018: The Samsung Galaxy Watch has been officially announced. Samsung’s next big event is coming soon, and the Note 9 is expected to make its official debut there. But Samsung might also reveal a new smartwatch, too. It’s been a while since Samsung had a new, big watch release. The Gear S3 arrived late in 2016, while a sport-oriented smaller …

Would you pay two grand for a 65-inch Vizio? That’s the essential question posed by the all-new P-Series Quantum, which just started shipping for $2,100 from major retailers and Vizio.com.  Vizio certainly tempts picture quality aficionados with the right specs. The company claims a searing 2,000 nits of peak brightness, which, if true, would make it among the brightest TVs I’ve ever …

Update, August 2018: The Samsung Galaxy Watch has been officially announced. Well, Samsung seems to have confirmed that its next watch is indeed the Samsung Galaxy Watch. Maybe. The expected smartwatch showed up on Samsung’s own website in the US on Monday morning, in a 42mm rose gold model.

The trademark’s illustration, as …
