Cell Phones

ASUS takes mobile gaming a lot more seriously with the ROG Phone, a handset built to play the most demanding games, with air cooling to boot.

In some respects, LG has nothing to lose. Quietly building momentum with the previous two flagship smartphone iterations, the G3 and G4, the G5 has turned the company’s previous efforts on their heads. Having embraced an all-metal body for the phone, the design philosophy swerves dramatically to make it modular, too. Not only is the battery removable, but the idea is to enhance the phone’s features with hardware add-ons.

Cloud services can be as simple as web-based email, and as developed as an entire ecosystem that relies on everything syncing smoothly with the cloud.

Asus officially entered the augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) space with its new Zenfone AR smartphone, while focusing on how a camera focuses with its Zenfone 3 Zoom handset. On top of that, it has gone a little bigger with its ZenBook 3 laptop by unveiling a “Deluxe” version.

If you’re in the market for a new iPhone, there will be four new ones to choose from after Apple launched its latest iPhone 12.

Samsung has a bit of a tough act to follow in the Galaxy S4. The company’s flagship smartphone has been the top-selling Android smartphone since its release in 2013, it’s the biggest competitor to Apple’s iPhone and in many ways it set the bar for what other manufacturers brought to the table since then: bigger displays, more powerful CPUs and innovative software like S Health. Competition in the smartphone market is fiercer than ever in 2014, so the Galaxy S5 really has to hit it out of the park to stay on top. Based on what we saw at Samsung Unpacked today, it looks like the Galaxy S5 has the chops to keep Samsung’s winning streak going.

We’re in a golden age of home movies thanks to the built-in video shooting capability of most mobile phones and there are people making big bucks posting professional looking videos on sites like YouTube —that are shot on their smartphone. How do you go from shaky, raw smartphone footage to polished looking results with subtitles, special effects and animated overlays? It’s actually pretty easy and the best part is, you can pump up your phone footage with movie effects for next to nothing and sometimes even for free.
