BlackBerry is all about the price cuts these days, it seems. Following the Passport’s price drop in the US earlier, now we find out that the Priv has become cheaper to purchase over in the UK.

That’s great news, because its original SIM-free price, £559, was a bit much. On the other hand, don’t expect miracles just yet – the drop isn’t a big one.

That said, you can now buy a BlackBerry Priv in the UK for only £529.99, still in SIM-free and unlocked form. It’s now being listed at that price both at Clove and Amazon.

The Priv runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, and it comes with a…

After finally announcing when it will make the HTC 10 official yesterday, today HTC is continuing its teaser campaign for the upcoming device on Twitter.

The latest teaser image, which you can see below in all its glory, is all about the audio capabilities of the HTC 10. Many have been worried about that area of the phone not being able to match its predecessors, since the front-facing stereo BoomSound speakers have seemingly been removed (as portrayed in the numerous leaked renders of the handset).

HTC wants everybody to calm down, however. Apparently the “new boom” brought with it…

Google is updating the voice behind the Search for US English. The new voice is noticeably better, as it is smoother and there is less gaps between words.

The change appears to be in the server-side part of the Google Text-to-Speech engine, since there aren’t any updates for the Google TTS and Google app in the Play Store.

Check out the video below to hear the difference in the new voice versus the old one.

The LG 360 Cam, the compact photo sphere imager, will cost £200 in the UK, which according to the Transatlantic exchange rate means the US price will be $200.

Sure enough, B&H is taking pre-orders at just that price. No shipping date is listed, but the LG G5 ships out on April 1.

You still have a chance to score a free LG 360 Cam if you buy an LG G5 from T-Mobile by April 5.

Vizio has released a new series of smart televisions, called the P-Series. The company has worked with Google to make perhaps the most unique range of televisions on the market.

The P-Series TVs might be called smart TVs but technically they are about as smart as a monitor and are nothing other than a big 4K screen to view your content. All the magic happens on the Android tablet that comes with the TV.

The P-Series does away with a traditional remote, and instead relies on the supplied tablet. The tablet has a 6-inch 1080p display and runs a stock version of Android with Vizio…

Consumer Reports just called the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge “perhaps, the best phones.” CR (along with consumers) wasn’t happy with some of the changes that the S6 brought on, but the S7 aced most tests.

The S7 and S7 edge topped Consumer Reports ratings. The battery life is Excellent (especially in the dark) and so is the still camera. The 1080p camera was rated Very good, “among the best we’ve tested in a smartphone.”

The redesigned body – its water resistance and its rounder edges (that make it easier to hold) were also praised. The return of the microSD slot was appreciated while…
