A flip phone is one of the last places I’d expect to find a Snapdragon 808, but that’s exactly where Samsung put one of the chips. Going by the model number SM-G9198, this flip phone packs the kind of specs I’d expect to find on a solid mid-range smartphone, with a 16 MP main camer
I like to think of the Internet as a gateway to the collective knowledge of the entire human race… more or less, but that might not be a good thing. According to a new study by the American Psychological Association, the access that we have to this knowledge actually makes us overestimate ours
Few industries suffered from the rise of the Internet as much as the porn industry. Anyone with an Internet connection and a lock on their door can browse virtually unlimited amounts of porn thanks to the Internet, and it’s all free. Paying for porn isn’t very common because of this, whi
Of all the smartphone makers out there at the moment, only a handful actually power their devices with homemade processors, with Apple and Samsung being the most notable ones. The rest of them use processors developed by the likes of MediaTek and Qualcomm, but Xiaomi wants to change that. According
The ever-rising mercury level of the ocean is one of the most well-documented and well-known instances of pollution out there, and yet little has been done to actually reverse the damage that’s being done. This is something that a group of Chinese scientists want to change with some new “
Most smartphone makers abandoned FM radio chipsets ages ago for obvious reasons, but that may have to change if AT&T has its way. For reasons that we can only speculate on, AT&T has announced that it will begin requesting that handset makers support FM radio on its network in an effort to ma
The Moto G may not be the high-end Motorola flagship that the Moto X is, but it’s still exciting to learn some more stuff about the next iteration of the mid-tier smartphone. When I said learn some more stuff, what I meant was learn pretty much everything there is to know about the device than
You may want to look out your window and see if pigs are flying because Amazon actually managed to turn a profit this quarter. To be fair, it was a measly $92 million compared to the company’s tens of billions in revenue, but considering that Amazon has been operating on a loss for so long [&h
As heartfelt as liking a post on Facebook post to show your support for a cause or charity is (sarcasm), don’t you think actually donating money would be a little more useful? Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales certainly thinks so, which is why he has released a new MVNO/social network known as The
As if making extreme videos with a GoPro wasn’t fun enough, now GoPro is allowing content creators to actually profit from the videos they make. The company has launched a new licensing portal that will allow content creators take their awesome GoPro footage and sell it to companies in the cre
It’s not like EVERYTHING we were going to hear about the OnePlus 2 was going to be good, although the device has managed to go quite a while with virtually nothing but excellent news. Breaking that streak is a leaked image on Weibo which shows an alleged AnTuTu benchmark of the smartphone. Whi
Don’t get me wrong, Hulu is a great way to stream the shows that Netflix doesn’t have, but I’ve always felt kind of annoyed that the service still makes me watch ads even though I’m a paying subscriber. The good news is that Hulu may finally be offering an entirely ad-free su
Angry Birds has been the poster child of the rise of mobile gaming ever since it was first released six years ago, having reached ridiculous levels of popularity and constantly being one of the most played and most profitable games on both Android and iOS. Now developer Rovio thinks its time for rou
I guess Yishan Wong isn’t happy with the way things are going down at Reddit because the company’s former CEO has been going around leaking Reddit’s dirty little secrets. Most of this leaked information surrounds Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, with Wong claiming that Ohanian was
Images of what’s claimed to be the next DROID smartphone from Motorola popped up on the Internet earlier today. The image only gives us a look at what the back the smartphone looks like, which appears to have a vertical metal housing and a metal frame for the camera components, but it’s
As if you needed any other reason to buy the OnePlus 2 when it comes out, the OnePlus team revealed in a Reddit AMA earlier today that the upcoming smartphone will have a 3300mAh battery. If you’re not familiar with smartphone batteries, this is roughly a 10% increase over the OnePlus One whic
In the early days of what we now know as the modern Internet, I Can Haz Cheezburger, under the leadership of co-founder and CEO Ben Huh, was giving birth to the first memes. Eventually scooping up other websites like Fail Blog and Know Your Meme, ICHC helped form the Internet into what we see now. H
Just when I think the OnePlus 2 is too good to be true, OnePlus goes and sweetens the deal even more. We already know that the device will come with a high-end Snapdragon 810 processor and will be priced under $450, so I wasn’t expecting the rumors that the smartphone would also have 4GB of [&
