One of the best prices we’ve seen.
We’ve seen deals on the Essential Phone in the past, and while this isn’t quite as good as Prime Day pricing, it’s still a heck of a deal. Right now you can get the phone in Halo Gray (the best color) for just $279.99.
It comes with 128GB of internal storage, a dual camera system on the back, and it’s powered by the Snapdragon 835 processor. You can also add the exclusive Essential 360 camera. Essential has already released the Android Pie update for the device as well, so you’ll be able to install that as soon as you receive yours!

As you may have figured out from our APK teardowns, it’s pretty easy to look inside most Android apps and figure out what they’re doing. There are a few products designed to obfuscate (hide) app code, one of them being DexGuard from Guardsquare. Howev…

Choice. It’s all about choice.
More streaming options are always a good thing. Because the whole point of this is to trade in our old cable companies for something with better choices, better flexibility — and, hopefully, lower prices.
That’s why HDHomerun expanding with its own streaming lineup is a big deal. That’s why another $35 option is a big deal. (And, by the way, it’s one of the few services that offers The Weather Channel.)
We now have plans ranging from Philo’s $16 a month (or $20, if you want to splurge) to PlayStation Vue’s whopping $80 a month all-inclusive monster. (OK, mostly all-inclusive. There are still add-ons.) And we have plans in between.
The point is, This is about building the best system that works for you. Spend as much or as little as you want. Spend a little extra, maybe, to make it all work a little more the way you want it. Use the free trials and try all the things.
Or, hell, keep your cable subscription. If that gets you more for your mo…
It’s probably not what you think, but it’s not great news for people who prefer to root their phones.
As anyone who roots their Android phone will tell you, it’s not always easy to play the games you love these days. Lots of game developers deploy anti-root detection methods to keep you from playing their game if you root your phone. An all too common explanation for why this anti-root philosophy exists is to combat cheating, and one place in particular this explanation irritates users is Pokémon Go.
Niantic won’t even let the app fully start if it looks like you are rooting your phone, and the method being used to look for whether your phone has root access rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
Stay out of my file system
In order to tell whether your phone has root access, Pokémon Go on Android asks for permission to look at your file system. This is a fairly common permission for an app to ask for, since most apps need to write something to your phone, it’s not a …
What do the Xiaomi Mi 8 and Samsung Galaxy S9+ have in common? Very little at first glance, but many of you might be undecided on which top-range smartphone to buy. Is it worth trusting the less expensive Xiaomi or is it better to rely on the more esta…
Android has evolved quite a lot into the operating system we know and love today, but years ago, many enthusiasts (including me) actively plugged its earlier feature gaps via a process called “rooting.” In brief, rooting allows us to make modifications at the system level—though it does so at the cost of potentially reduced security, among other risks.
About every two years we like to check in and see how many Android enthusiasts out there continue to root their devices, and here we are again.

Firstly, Anker is selling the original Nebula Mars for $399.99, a $200 savings over the original price. This is still the brightest projector the company sells, with a rating of 500 ANSI Lumens (the Mars II is only 300 ANSI Lumens).
