Smartphones & Accessories

Google has re-entered the mid-range smartphone arena with the new Pixel 3a (and Pixel 3a XL), offering one of the best affordable handsets available.

Video capabilities built into the devices we carry with everywhere have reached a point that encourages consumers to shoot home videos and creative projects more than ever before, and with the Osmo mobile smartphone gimbal stabilizer, DJI is trying to take this to the next level.

In a year where some smartphones have surprised, while others have spontaneously combusted, Google’s latest entry into the fray is in the two Pixel handsets that have effectively replaced the previous Nexus line. Going higher-end under the Pixel moniker is one of the obvious differences, but with performance and a new virtual assistant being hyped alongside all that, there was plenty to look forward to with the Pixel XL.

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!

Google gives you a number of reasons why you should spend less on a phone with a quality choice in the Pixel 7a.

The Discover Samsung Shopping Event takes place at Best Buy stores, educating and introducing shoppers to Samsung's latest AI tech.

Google announced a number of new products that include the two Pixel phones, along with the Nest Audio smart speaker and Chromecast with Google TV.

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.

Starting off a new year with a new phone always feels like good timing, and there’s a pretty nice batch to choose from as the calendar turns over to another year.

People took more than one trillion photos in 2015 and most of them used smarpthones. Mobile devices have always offered convenience with buit in cameras, but now they have great quality including features like HDR, RAW photo shooting and even Ultra HD and 4K video shooting. The big question is what to do with all these photos and videos.
