Since the announcement of the Pixel product line, Google has been trying hard to "mirror" Apple's products year after year. As a big time Google fan, I can't help but keep thinking that Google is desperately trying to mimic Apple products. In my opinion, iPhones are great but somewhat behind in terms of specs if ...
If the Ocean Blue or Lavender Purple colors of the Note 9 aren't your thing, Samsung just announced today that they will be launching the Midnight Black and Cloud Silver colors in October.

Samsung is pathetic at handling pre-orders and this is not good. Let me explain. When the Note 9 was announced on August 9 in NYC, it received a lot of positive feedback from the tech media which translated in lots of orders not only from Samsung.com but from a slew of authorized dealers. Samsung started taking ...

During the Unpacked event today, Samsung unveiled their newest smartwatch: The Galaxy Watch. If you were hoping to Google's Wear OS, you are in for a disappointment, or not.
