If you recall, back in January this year, the original LG Watch Urbane received a price cut in the US, and was being sold for $200. In case you missed out on that deal on eBay, and are still interested in purchasing the timepiece, you’ll be glad to know that the device’s price tag has been slashed further.

It’s now going for just $150 on the online auction site. That’s a solid price cut given the smartwatch’s initial launch price of $349. While the deal was available on both gold and silver variants, the latter is currently being shown as out of stock. Shipping is free anywhere in the…

Back in January, at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES), BlackBerry CEO confirmed that the Priv – which was an AT&T exclusive in the US at that time – will eventually be available from other major carries, including Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint.

While T-Mobile started selling the device in January itself, it landed on Verizon earlier last month. Sprint customers, on the other hand, have been waiting for the handset all this while. However, sadly, now it looks like the carrier has had a change of heart, with its customer care informing Priv hopefuls that Sprint won’t be selling the…

These are some of the best apps and games that came out this week.

Hub Keyboard

Microsoft’s Hub Keyboard is now on iOS. It is similar to the app we saw on Android. The clipboard feature lets you access more than the latest copied text and gives a list of recently copied items. The documents feature lets you type and paste URL of your Office 365 documents in OneDrive or SharePoint. The contacts feature lets you easily enter contact information by typing their name. The only thing missing in the iOS version is the ability to type text in one language and have it translated…

Motorola was the first to make the wooden cases more than just an exclusive accessory available to select few. Sure, the Moto G and Moto X wooden panels looked beautiful, but a piece of wood isn’t the thing that sells phones.

Three years ago we were all about the faux-leather cases and panels. We witnessed many a phone by Samsung come with such design, but it was the LG G4 and it real leather back that did it best.

Now however we are back to arguing between glass and metal, and buying silicone or plastic cases/skins, the market needed something fresh. And here is where Carved thinks it…

The phones everyone’s talking about this week – Huawei P9 and its bigger and more capable bro, the P9 Plus. The headline in both of them are their dual cameras, but they’re not one dimensional, the two of them.

Dual polls it is. The thing is the P9 Plus has everything the P9 does, and then some. Hot as the P9 may be, we fear the Plus might not get the attention it deserves, if they go at it together.

Starting with the P9 (manufacturers should probably think of monikers for the plain non-Plus-Max-edge models so us tech journos can have it easy), we’re already getting the full package -…

Now, who would have thought – just when the Galaxy S7 returned to its customary number one spot last week, and you’d expect it to stay there for a while and out of nowhere comes the Galaxy J3 (2016) to claim the crown. And not only that, but the Galaxy J7 takes number two, leaving the S7 in third spot (just by a few hundred hits, but still).

The iPhone SE is slowly slipping down the chart, and after it entered in number one four weeks ago, we now find it in 4th. The Xiaomi Mi5 has made way for two phones, the Galaxy J5 and Redmi Note 3, which have moved a spot up together, while the…

The rematch produced the same outcome, nearly down to the last percent. After the LG G5 submitted to the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge a month ago, it had another go over the past week, this time at the Samsung Galaxy S7 (flat).

The results are in and for the most part they’re identical – only the G5 has an extra one in a hundred this time and the distribution is 43% to 57%, still in the Galaxy’s favor. Apparently that’s the best the G5 can do, even though it brought friends to the fight.

Whether the general public is not yet ready for all that modularity, or the S7 is just the better overall…

There’s no doubt about it – the Huawei P9 stole the show this week. Its announcement was the top story of the week. But it happened on Thursday and that gave it plenty of time for various leaks before that, all gathering plenty of attention.

And then when it did get official, you flocked to read about its performance and also to check out its first camera samples. A Huawei P9 lite may not have made the cut to the keynote, but it did make a live appearance, you can have a look now if you missed it.

The HTC 10 is approaching too, and it also made for an interesting read. This week it…

Microsoft has announced that the future versions of Edge will be less tolerant to stray Flash content on web pages.

The browser will soon be updated to automatically pause all non-essential Adobe Flash content on the page; this includes animations and ads. Only essential content, such as videos and games will play automatically. This will reduce power consumption and improve performance, especially on tablets and ultrabooks.

Last year, Google announced a similar change in Chrome, and later dropped support for Flash ads entirely couple of months back.

Microsoft will be providing the…

Hasselblad, maker of high-end modular medium format cameras, has announced the new H6D-100c and the H6D-50c, the former with an amazing 100 megapixel CMOS sensor and the latter with 50 megapixel CMOS sensor.
