Samsung's new Galaxy patent is a bezel-less, notch-free slice of the future
Is your next phone just going to be one giant screen? It will be if Samsung has its way. The latest concept design to make its way out of Samsung shows the company is working on a button-free, bezel-free, headphone jack-free phone that is all screen, all the time.

LG G7 ThinQ's speaker is apparently ten times louder than others
Another day, another LG G7 ThinQ teaser. Following the 1,000-nit super bright display, today the Korean giant decided to boast another feature on its upcoming flagship smartphone: the "Boombox Speaker." As the name implies, we're told to expect a speaker that "increases the base sound level by more than 6dB with twice the amount of bass." This apparently translates to more than ten times the loudness than that of a typical smartphone, which is surprising given the usual physical limitations. As a bonus, the bass can be further amplified when you place the device on a solid surface or box.

After 5 years with Samsung and LG, I moved to a Pixel 2 XL and... nothing has changed
I still remember when we used to bicker over iPhone vs Symbian, before Android took over the second part of that argument. I also remember when Xenon vs LED flash was the most controversial discussion in the smartphone world for several years - some of you may have been toddlers when that started. And I remember when apps weren't a thing, when 3G was the hottest novelty, when we thanked our lucky stars because companies stopped using massive proprietary charging and earphone ports, and when a smartphone with a 2.8" display (Nokia N95 8GB) counted as monstrous.

Proof the Google Pixel 2, not a DSLR, was all the camera I needed on my honeymoon
Right before going on my honeymoon to Japan and South Korea, I made a crazy decision, a potentially stupid one that I might regret for the rest of my life: I wouldn’t bring a camera – at least, not a traditional one. I was going to take pictures solely with the Google Pixel 2. Best case scenario, the phone will accurately capture the once-in-a-lifetime moments that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.

"Frank." isn’t just a phone, it’s a phony
The Android enthusiast community has always been hungry for phones that offer a flagship experience at a low cost. That's why people still mourn Google's Nexus program a year later, despite numerous hardware problems over the years (I should know, my 5 and 5X both died unexpectedly after about a year). And despite OnePlus' many misfires over the years, the company's phones are still praised.

Nokia 8 unboxing and first impressions: the torchbearer is finally out, and doesn’t disappoint
Nokia’s much-hyped comeback into the phone segment has been a tad unexciting so far, truth be told. Ironically, the refreshed Nokia 3310 feature phone managed to steal the thunder away from the trio of Android smartphones unveiled by the brand back at MWC. The Nokia 3, 5 and 6 are slotted into the budget and affordable segments, but what the world has really been waiting for is a true-blue flagship, a contender that can stand proudly against premium smartphones from the likes of Samsung, LG, Google and HTC.
