In this new decade, you're only going to spend yet more of your life online. You can try and avoid it but, honestly, it's pretty much impossible to do. It's important that you have security and privacy at the front of your mind as you traverse the online world, especially with the amount of sensitive data we out on our devices and send via the internet. If you use public Wi-Fi networks while out and about, that's even more important.Odds are that you have heard of VPNs, or Virtual Private Networks, before but may not have signed up for one just yet. There are some common misconceptions about VPNs, especially that they are super expensive, but that's not at all the case — especially if you know where to look for a deal (hint: it's here). In fact, you can actually score a VPN subscription for less than the price of one cup of coffee or soda each month. We've already showcased the best VPNs you can sign up for, but no one likes paying full price.Don't spend hours scouring the web an...

It's a wild time for the mobile gaming industry. On the one hand, mobile gaming has never been more popular with easy money up for grabs for game developers able to churn out games with simplistic and addictive gameplay, then load in tons of ads and in-app purchases for quick monetization.Conversely, it's been equally tough for game developers intent on crafting premium gaming experiences for mobile audiences. Game developers who forgo ads and in-app purchases are faced with the uphill battle of convincing gamers to pay upfront for a premium mobile game. It's just not a financially stable business model and has led to a decline in great premium games being developed for Android.Google itself has taken some steps to help developers with Play Pass offering Android users a decent collection of the Play Store's best premium apps and games as part of a monthly subscription, but a new subscription service for premium mobile games is looking to things to the next level.GameClub be...

Samsung first brought its users a system-level Night mode in Android 9 Pie with the first version of One UI, but when Google added Dark mode to the core Android system with Android 10, Samsung adjusted to use Google's version instead. While dark mode on most phones is just a simple toggle to turn it on and off, Samsung adds in a scheduling function that can automatically turn dark mode on at sunset — or a predetermined time — and then turn it back off at sunrise. This is how you enable and configure it.How to enable Dark mode on Samsung Galaxy phones with One UIOpen your phone's Settings.Scroll down and tap on Display.Look for Dark mode or Night mode and tap on the toggle to turn on Night mode right away.To configure Night mode, tap on the text itself rather than the toggle.You can set Night Mode to come on automatically on a custom schedule, or let it come on from sunset to sunrise.For easier access to Night mode, you can also add a quick toggle in the notificatio...

One of the most requested features in WhatsApp over the last couple of years has been dark mode. It is finally available on Android — you can now manually set dark mode for WhatsApp, or have the app match the system theme automatically. Here's how you can get started with dark mode on WhatsApp for Android.Products used in this guideTake great photos: Google Pixel 3a XL ($429 at Amazon)How to download the latest WhatsApp for Android betaThe option to enable dark mode in WhatsApp is limited to the beta version of the app. Usually, it takes about a month for a feature to make its way from the beta client over to the public build, and if you're unwilling to wait that long, you can always download the beta app.WhatsApp runs an official beta program on the Play Store, but that has been full for over a year and isn't taking new beta testers. Your best option instead is to sideload the latest beta APK and install the app. I'll show you how to do that below, but before you start...

If you want to get the most out of your favorite music or podcast, noise-canceling headphones are the way to go. They block out ambient noise around you, making it easy to focus on what's playing — something that's especially useful when flying, working at a coffee shop, or just being out in public.

The upcoming budget phone will have quad rear cameras.What you need to knowAlleged hands-on images showing Nokia's upcoming budget smartphone code-named "Captain America" have surfaced.The phone is likely to be launched as the Nokia 5.2 and is tipped to be priced at $180.

Super Bowl 2020 is behind us, and the Kansas City Chiefs managed to come out on top this year. Aside from the action of the game itself, there was a lot of other enterainment to be had. One of the best parts about the Super Bowl for many is the commercials.Some of the commercials end up being quite good, and others will leave you wondering why the brand even tried in the first place. The Super Bowl 2020 commercials were no exception. It's reported that the cost for a 30-second Super Bowl 2020 commercial was $5.6 million, which is a whole lot of money.This year, we saw appearances from singers like Post Malone, directors like Martin Scorsese, and even Tik-Tok stars like Charli DaMelio. Companies like Google, Walmart, Coca-Cola, Little Ceasars, Jeep, and others were among those with Super Bowl commercials this year.We've put together a list of some of the best (and worst) commercials from this year.

The K30 Pro could be the first Redmi-branded phone to run on the Snapdragon 865 chipset.What you need to knowA new leak suggests Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865 chipset will power the rumored Redmi K30 ProThe phone is tipped to come with a 64MP primary camera. While no release date has been confirmed yet, the K30 Pro is expected to be announced in the first of the year. In December last year, Xiaomi launched the Redmi K30 5G in China, the first phone to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 765G chipset. Along with the 5G variant, the company also launched a 4G LTE version of the phone, running on the older Snapdragon 730G chipset. Unlike the Redmi K20 series, however, a "Pro" model did not debut alongside the Redmi K30. The Redmi K30 Pro, according to rumors, is likely to be launched sometime within the first half of the year.Now, the folks over at XDA Developers have discovered evidence that seemingly confirms the upcoming smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865...

Updates have to stop at some point.On January 22, Sonos found itself in a boiling pot of hot water. The company issued a press release regarding the future of software updates, stating that it was ending support for legacy hardware that had been released between 2006 and 2009. I saw something about this on Twitter when it first came out, thought "huh," and went about my day.Turns out, I was in the minority with those feelings. Not too long after Sonos broke this news, people were up in arms about how awful of a decision this was and how Sonos was turning its back on loyal customers. I honestly wasn't expecting so much backlash considering these products are anywhere from 14 to 11-years-old, but people were so passionate about this change that Sonos's CEO had to issue a follow-up statement to calm people's nerves.For those of you that missed out on the fun, here's essentially what happened. Sonos has been creating speakers and other audio gear for a while. Some of tho...

Let's chat with the AC forums.We're just about a week away from Samsung's unveiling of the Galaxy S20 at its upcoming Unpacked event. Leaks and rumors regarding the phone have been circulating for months, and now that we're almost at the finish line, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect.It's been no surprise that people in our AC forums are looking forward to Samsung's latest and greatest, but recently, some folks have started talking about the main reason they're interested in the S20 in the first place. jimjonesG7 01-31-2020 07:55 AM “ There's only one reason I'll buy the new S20 and that's if it's got better battery life.

Best answer: The short answer is no; Bluetooth 5.0 introduces a handful of improvements to range, data transfer speeds, and power consumption, but it doesn't affect audio quality at all.

It depends on who you ask and their definition of what trustworthy means.Google has changed dramatically in the past 10 years. That's partly because technology itself has changed, partly because of management changes within the company, and partly because being more aggressive is how you make more money when you're an advertisement company. The days of "Don't Be Evil" seem to be long gone.I say it started 10 years ago because that's when we heard about the most intrusive thing Google had ever done up to that point — collect data from user Wi-Fi networks using its Street View cars back in 2010. The issue was a bit overblown because they always are, but Google did end up collecting unencrypted data sent using open Wi-Fi networks while it was collecting the data it needed to make a map without using GPS. Then it tried to shrug it off, and that felt pretty evil to a lot of people. Doing something stupid might not be evil. Trying to say it's OK and partially our fault makes it s...

They will soon appear in budget gaming phones in the Indian market.What you need to knowMediaTek has announced two new mid-range gaming-focused mobile chipsets – Helio G70 and Helio G80.Both new chipsets are built on a 12nm process and come with an ARM Mali-G52 class GPU running at up to 950 MHz.

What you need to knowGoogle photos will ship you 10 of your photos each month.The service will cost $8.99 a month.Right now, there is a six-month free trial.Users of Google Photos are starting to see an invite to a new service that will offer physical photos to your door for a monthly fee. The service is called unsurprisingly, "Monthly Photo Prints," and it promises to send you 10, 4x6 inch matte copies of your "best photos". I assume this means this service is somehow curated, and it would have to be.I take a lot of photos that get uploaded to Google Photos, some good, some abysmal, and I hope that Google isn't relying on an algorithm to figure out what I would like to receive in the mail. For $8 a month for just ten photos, each of them needs to be the very best they can be. Having any duds would sour people on this service very quickly, so a human is likely curating these pictures somewhere along the line.How to sign upSigning up can be done through the web interface...

What we consider a "normal" phone size today would feel downright gigantic just a few years ago. And that normalization of large phones has made it even easier for companies to make even bigger phones at the very top end of their lineup. When you're in need of a big phone to give you the largest screen and most capabilities, the Galaxy Note 10+ is the best of the bunch. Not only does it have a huge display, but it's a great display — and everything else about the experience backs it up.Best Overall: Samsung Galaxy Note 10+It's easy to argue that the Galaxy Note defined the "phablet" category, and several generations in it's still the standard. The Note 10+ has a massive 6.8-inch display, and, wow, is it incredible. The rest of the hardware experience is as solid as it is beautiful, and conceals a packed spec sheet capable of powering anything you want to do. Battery life is great, as is its charging speed, and its cameras are some of the best available. It all adds up to make...

Get ready for the most competitive Samsung flagships in years.Samsung has dominated the Android phone market for the past few years, often seeming to do so effortlessly. In the U.S., Samsung's high-end Android competition is basically nonexistent -- local rival LG is hanging in there, but their product lineup last year was less than stellar. The likes of Motorola and Google are left fighting over table scraps. And in Europe, Samsung benefitted from a reprieve in late 2019 thanks to Huawei's ongoing difficulties with the U.S. government. Without Google Mobile Services support, the Huawei P40 looks unlikely to woo European carriers, to the benefit of Samsung's new models.However Samsung's real competition doesn't come from Seoul or Shenzhen, but, of course, Cupertino. Apple has enjoyed what can easily be called a bumper year, thanks to the success of the iPhone 11.That's why there's little sign of complacency from the company in 2020.

Best answer: Playing Google Stadia on a TV only works with a Chromecast Ultra for now, and beyond that, you also need a Stadia controller. Anyone who owns an earlier Chromecast model should upgrade to an Ultra if you want to play Stadia on a TV, or wait for Google to eventually add support for older Chromecasts.Stadia-ready: Google Chromecast Ultra ($69 at Amazon)Get the bundle: Google Stadia Premiere Edition ($129 at Google Store)You need both a Chromecast Ultra and Stadia controller to play on a TVBy most accounts, Google pretty much bungled the launch of Stadia. As it stands now unless you've bought the Stadia Founders Edition or Premiere Edition you're not going to be able to play Stadia games on your TV.That's because you'll need both a Chromecast Ultra that has the latest Stadia firmware updates, along with a Stadia controller. That's the only configuration that currently works for TV play, so even if you already own a Chromecast Ultra you will still need to buy a ...

The definition of a small phone has changed throughout the last couple of years as the smartphone industry has moved to taller displays.

As NVIDIA proclaims in every piece of marketing, the Shield Android TV box is "the streamer for gamers." It also happens to be the best TV streaming box for playing games developed for Android TV from the Google Play Store. Want to start playing? Here are some games to try.Note: The NVIDIA Shield TV (2019) is not quite as gamer-ready as its predecessors and the Shield TV Pro (2019). NVIDIA went with a 32-bit version of Android TV and also downgraded the RAM on its tube-shaped streaming dongle to just 2GB. This has affected the base model's compatibility with some 64-bit games from the Play Store including several on this list (Borderlands, Metal Gear Solid 2, Half-Life 2, The Witness, and Portal). Meanwhile, the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro (2019) is still fully compatible to play all games developed for the Shield lineup.An epic zombie-filled road tripDeath Road To CanadaStaff pick$10 at Google Play StoreDeath Road to Canada is one of those games that offers a unique gamin...

It takes more than ambition and an aggressive approach to make money selling phones in the West. You need the right services and software.Huawei makes some incredible phones. My somewhat limited exposure to the brand as a U.S. resident reinforces what everyone who has one tells me: they are one of the best phones you can buy. When any brand gets this kind of praise, it has to be pretty darn good products.Unfortunately, because of other equipment Huawei makes, namely telecom gear and 5G base stations, the company has come under fire from the U.S government and now Huawei is unable to share or buy any technology from another company that does business in the United States. That means none of the closed source bits in Android that power Google's services.More: Huawei Mate 30 Pro review: The best phone you shouldn't buyThis led Huawei, who has giant pockets filled with money, to strike out on its own and make its own services framework and app distribution model.

However, based on past PlayStation launches we expect to see 1TB for the basic build.Thousands to choose from: PlayStation Store Gift Card (From $10 at Amazon)Hello solid-state drivePlayStation has been keeping quite a few aspects of the PS5 hush-hush. How much storage room the PS5 will have is one such secret. What we know is that the new PS5 is being built with a solid-state drive (SSD) instead of the traditional HDD. Not only will this upgrade give us a much faster system but it also gives us a starting point to deduce how much storage the basic launch build will offer.Looking at the previous PlayStation builds and the market price for a decent SSD, we can make a few guesses what we will see in PS5.The PS4 and storage sizeAt launch the original PlayStation 4 came with the option of 500GB for the basic build or, if you had extra spending money, 1TB. This was the standard again at the launch of the PlayStation Slim in 2016. Howev...

And it's thanks to him, again, that we now know what the phone — or possibly series of phones — will be called: As has already been sporadically reported, this will indeed come to market as the Moto G Stylus (and NOT, ahem, the Motorola Edge+).This also confirms the stylus-bearing phone is not the flagship that Motorola is reportedly also readying for launch this year. That becomes even more evident once we consider the purported specs of the Moto G Stylus, which 9to5Google reports include a Snapdragon 665, 4GB of RAM, and a 5,0...

In total, there will be 21 films that make an appearance, and they will come in three phases.
