When it comes to cheap carriers, AT&T has its own "cheap line" in their "Pay as you go" product. I found I get all the benefits of their network at half the price of their subscriber line. TG should include that in their tests. I used to be a Metro customer but in Dallas, TX, AT&T rules when...

That secondary sensor with a wide angle has nothing to do with avoiding the use of selfie sticks. It will help them track you better in real time and add imaging to their massive database so they can see others, enhance Google Maps, and backtrack people's movements for all kinds of purposes...

My Essential just keeps getting faster! :P

But will it catch fire in your pants? That's a feature I hope Samsung dropped!

A new hand-warming feature will make its repeat debut with the Note 9. After sitting on a quick charger all day, the battery will have a tendency to overheat causing some units to burst into flames. This time, however, it is being touted as a feature and not a bug.

According to Business Insiders electronic shopping tools analyzer, only 193 people tried to use Alexa to shop from Amazon with only 91 being successful all the way to check out and only 57 of those repeated that method of shopping with 41 of those ordering the exact same item. Whose numbers are...

What if you are tracking your own stolen phone? It would be nice to know how much battery life is left or whether it is parked and charging somewhere. You are being too paranoid. The number of good reasons far outway the bad reasons. If we are going to be able to track it all, more...

Sideloading is not much more dangerous than doing it on a Linux or Windows-based PC. (Probably Apple, too.) One can simply turn on or off that feature as needed. Windows, and DOS before that did not require one to go through the Microsoft Play Store. Smart users would run an anti-virus/malware...

Don't subscribe. Pay as you go. Quit financing equipment you cannot afford. I use AT&T's Go plan and pay less than 1/2 of what a subscriber pays.

The 5T is out of production and replaced by the model 6. Can't recommend a phone you cannot buy. Similarly, the Essential PH-1 is left out, but with the company's future up in the air, I can see why they left it out. Still a good phone, but they are shopping for potential buyers for the...

When Tim Cook mentioned "security enhancements" when they announced the new IOS, I figured they would lock the cops out of using their Grey Boxes. Good on them. With all the abuses of the 4th amendment, I want a secure phone and I am no criminal. I want to keep the criminals out; both foreign...

I overheard the pixel3's will have the notch and dual front cameras running android P. The Nexus lineup will not have a notch and be running Oreo 8.x. People make a big deal about the notch, but it isn't noticeable after using it for a short while and there is a setting to make the notch...

Jojo, I can tell the Essential will be in the middle of the pack or worse. The titanium edges and ceramic back are very tough, but the energy transfer to the glass causes the front face to crack. Like so many of the phones, the corners are not reinforced and the Gorilla Glass 5.0 on the front...
