After an incredible amount of leaking, Samsung’s Galaxy Note8 is finally official. However, it’s quite pricey at around $950 outright. Samsung realizes that their phones are on the expensive side, so it’s offering two freebie options: a Gear 360 camera, or a 128GB microSD card and a Fast Wireless Charging Convertible pad. However, Sam’s Club is taking this a step further and is offering up to $469.99’s worth of extras in total.

NordVPN claims using a VPN will bypass Verizon’s harsh video throttling.
Verizon recently announced it would begin throttling video streams for customers on its unlimited plans. When Verizon’s network detects a stream is coming from a video streaming service such as YouTube or Netflix, the download speeds to the device will be throttled to 10Mbps, forcing the video stream down to a resolution of 480p or 720p, depending on the plan.
There may be a remedy for this though. According to 9to5Mac, VPN users will be able to get around Verizon-imposed limits, as per NordVPN, a popular provider. Because of the way a VPN routes traffic, Verizon’s network is unable to detect whether a packet is coming from a video streaming site, and therefore unable to throttle the resulting video stream. Verizon (or other networks) would be able to counter this, but that would involve throttling all traffic delivered over a VPN.
There are numerous VPN providers for Android, iOS and Windows. Besides just ge…
X.D. Network is quickly becoming a publisher to notice. Not only did they bring To The Moon to the Play Store, but they also recently released BeatEVO YG, a popular K-pop themed rhythm game. Today we can add Gemini – A Journey of Two Stars to this list of great titles. While it’s self-described as an “interactive poem,” that apt description hardly does this beautiful game the justice it deserves.

Contrary to all logic and reason, emoji are a big deal on smartphones and people care what they look like. For example, I and many other loved the Google blob emoji, but Android 8.0 killed the blobs. The scale of this unspeakable crime is laid bare by Emojipedia in its comprehensive Oreo changelog.
Android 8.0 has support for the Emoji 5.0 release, which means you get things like the vomiting face, face wearing a monacle, zombies (both male and female), man with beard (what, no bearded lady?!), dinosaurs, broccoli, a UFO, and more.
Emojipedia now lists all the new and changed emoji in Android 8.0 Oreo was written by the awesome team at Android Police.

Users can now pre-register for the next Monument Valley game.
Since its release, Monument Valley has been known as one of the best puzzle games on iOS and Android. The game centers around moving a character through a living M.C. Escher painting and isn’t subject to in your face advertisement or micro transactions like most mobile games.
Apple featured Monument Valley 2 at this year’s WWDC developer’s conference, and the game will soon be available to Android users. Android Police reports that users can now pre-register for the game through the Google Play Store.
Pre-registering won’t make the game release any faster, but users will get a notification on their device when the game is available. There’s no word on pricing information, but it is likely to cost the same $4.99 it is on the iOS App Store.

Samsung Mobile’s President has confirmed the company is working on a smart speaker.
Alongside launching the Galaxy Note 8, Samsung’s President, DJ Koh, has confirmed the company is developing a smart speaker to compete with the Amazon Echo series, the Google Home and Apple’s upcoming HomePod. The system will be powered by Samsung’s Bixby personal assistant.
CNBC reports the device is under active development, with DJ Koh stating, “Maybe soon we will announce it. I am already working on it.” Alongside working with the Galaxy line of smartphones, the speaker will assuredly work with Samsung’s Tizen-based watches, smart TV’s and (ugh) smart refrigerators. It’s also easy to presume the speaker will be compatible with Samsung’s SmartThings ecosystem.
