Google Chromecast and Chromecast Audio unveiled

Image
Google's Chromecast was the best-selling item on Amazon at one point and now there's a new one. There's also Chromecast Audio with multi-room support. The Chromecast app has been redesigned too. Google Chromecast: With a $35/€40/£30 the Chromecast can smart up any TV – it supports video streaming and screen mirroring. There's already a great roster of apps, but now Spotify, BBC iPlayer Radio and Chrome Photos are joining the party. The Chromecast comes with a new design, new colors too (Black, Lemonade and Coral), and the much requested Wi-Fi ac at 5GHz (great for apartments with congested Wi-Fi traffic). Unfortunately, the resolution is still capped at 1080p – there's no 4K UHD video support. This is quite disappointing since 4K streaming services are picking up speed and, of course, the new Nexus phones (among many others) can shoot 4K video. As before, you can use Android (4.1+), iOS (7.0+), Windows (7+) or Mac OS X (10.7+) to connect to your Chro...

Android 8.0 Oreo review

Image
Introduction: Twelve months have passed since the introduction of Android 7.0 Nougat, and you know what that means - a new, even sweeter release of Google's mobile operating system is out. With Oreo we're treated to the second ever co-branding exercise for an Android version, following in the footsteps of KitKat from a few years ago. While it may have been officially revealed during a rare event (the total solar eclipse on August 21), Oreo doesn't come with huge changes compared to its predecessor - at least not any that are immediately obvious to the user. Underneath the just slightly tweaked UI elements, however, sits Project Treble - which is basically a revolution in the way the OS is built, and may result in longer software support windows than what we've gotten used to from Android device makers. Then again, promises of faster updates have burned us before, so we're a bit wary of believing update-related claims before we actually see any of them becom...

Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Image
Introduction: The successor to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4/5 is finally here - meet the Galaxy Note8. Wait, what? Okay, Europeans didn't get the Note5 because, you know... Samsung, and we all know how the Note7 lived a shorter product life than it deserved. So in a way, a few of us Note-lovers have been stuck with three-year-old Notes, looking at some poor S-Pen-less S7 edges and S8s to fill the void. Historically, Notes have been more or less identical to the Galaxy S-series flagship of the respective year, only with a bigger display and an S-Pen. Not this one, though - with the Galaxy Note8 Samsung finally takes the plunge into dual camera territory. And not just any dual camera - it's the best one there is, Samsung says. They might have a point, we theorize, looking at the specs. It might be a controversial way of wording this, but Samsung went the Apple way with this dual camera setup - a regular wide-angle cam and a telephoto cam with twice the equivalent focal lengt...
