Smartphones & Accessories

 I love a smartphone case that’s made for those with a passion for fashion. But most days, I need something with a little more heft–something that’ll put up with me dropping it on the curb side, spilling a glass of water on it, or accidentally pushing it off a bookcase (sadly, all things that have happened to my iPhone over the past two weeks.)  

Day three of the 12 Days of Christmas could be the one where you consider a premium smartphone like the Google Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro.

Samsung focused on bringing everything it could to the Galaxy S21 Ultra through improved performance and new features to make this its best phone to date.

As any longtime iPhone owner knows, these slick Apple products are not without their faults. Much like an adorable purebred puppy, Apple iPhones have problems that their phones are prone to developing. The most common of the bunch is a broken home button, but luckily enough, this isn’t an insurmountable problem!

Google is launching a new slate of products, starting with the Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 8, plus the Pixel Watch 2.

Google made a number of announcements at its annual I/O keynote, including new products like the Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold.

Last year, HTC had a hit with its HTC One, considered by many to be the best-looking Android smartphone ever released, not to mention a solid performer. Samsung’s Galaxy S4 ended up running away with the Android sales crown in 2013, but HTC is back this year with the One M8, a successor that’s bigger, looks even better and offers solid performance combined with an innovative new dual camera system. I just spent a few days with HTC’s new flagship and this is probably the best Android smartphone I’ve laid my hands on. And it’s coming soon to Best Buy!

You may not know that OtterBox is one of the fastest growing high tech companies, a supplier of ruggedized electronic gear protection to the US military and the world’s largest manufacturer of mobile phone cases.

For those who aren’t familiar with the OtterBox Defender, here’s an overview of this award-winning series of protective cases.

Samsung likes curves enough to put them on almost any screen they can find. Curved TVs are one thing, but this year, the company has really pushed the idea of curved displays on smartphones. The Galaxy S6 Edge, when it launched in the spring, was the first smartphone to have a dual-curved edge display. Now, the Galaxy S6 Edge+ offers a bigger screen with a lot of the same functionality.
