As Samsung was readying the Galaxy S8, everyone wondered if the company would be able to recover from the disastrous, exploding Note 7. From a pure quality of hardware perspective, the S8 appears to be a home run — as long as nothing unexpected happ…
Whenever I write about a new Xiaomi product these days, the response is usually sour comments along the lines of, “Why bother telling us when these won’t be coming to our side of the world?” I, too, get frustrated (as if the poor data connection in B…

If you’re skeptical about human-caused climate change or the safety of vaccines, would being berated in front of a live studio audience by a bombastic old man make you change your mind? Then congratulations, Bill Nye’s new Netflix show, Bill Nye Saves The World, is literally just for you!
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is one of the prettiest phones you can buy right now, but it launched as a somewhat incomplete product. Bixby, the phone’s new digital assistant, doesn’t yet have one if its key features—voice recognition. This shortcoming wouldn’t be so obvious if only Samsung hadn’t included a new button on the…
Reduce, re-use, and recycle are words to live by as we try to minimize humanity’s demand for our planet’s natural resources.

It has been a couple of weeks since Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint all released the much-awaited Android 7.0 Nougat update for the Galaxy Note 5. Those who own this handset on T-Mobile will obviously be waiting for Magenta to follow through as well. They can start looking forward to receiving the update from today as T-Mobile is now finally rolling it out for Galaxy Note 5 owners on its network.
It was confirmed by T-Mobile over the weekend that it had received approval for the Android 7.0 Nougat update for the Galaxy Note 5 and that users should expect to have the update on their devices in the near future.
Multiple reports have now come in confirming that the carrier has now rolled out the Android 7.0 Nougat update for the Galaxy Note 5 on its network. The update has already been available for users who don’t shy away from manually flashing the firmware on their handsets through Samsung Smart Switch.
Since this is a major update, it’s going to take some time before the update gradually makes it way to all users on T-Mobile’s network. These updates are normally released in phases so it may take a couple of days before all Galaxy Note 5 owners on T-Mobile end up on Android 7.0 Nougat.

If you thought that the two different HDR (High Dynamic Range) – Dolby Vision and HDR10 – were confusing enough, allow Samsung and Amazon to confuse you even further. The two companies have launched their very own HDR10+ standard. It’s an updated version of the HDR10 standard and comes with a new feature called Dynamic Tone Mapping. The feature users dynamic metadata to produce improved contrast and colors on a wide range of televisions.
The existing HDR10 standard relies on static metadata which doesn’t change during playback even though different scenes have different brightness levels. This results in image quality not being optimal in some scenes. HDR10+ relies on dynamic metadata which enables an HDR-compatible TV to adjust brightness levels on a scene-by-scene or even a frame-by-frame basis.
All of Samsung’s 2017 UHD TVs including its QLED lineup have support for HDR10+. Samsung’s 2016 UHD TV lineup will also get HDR10+ support in the second half of this year. Those who want to experience the enhanced HDR experience will find compatible content on the Amazon Video streaming service.
This also makes Amazon Video the first streaming service provider that developed its own HDR standard for audiences. HDR10+ support is integrated with the x265 High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) which is available for free under an open source license.
