BlackBerry Z30 will hit the Verizon shelves in November

Verizon Wireless announced pricing and availability of the BlackBerry Z30. The Canadian flagship smartphone will be available in November for $199.99 with a two-year contract, or 22.91 per month for 24 months for users who opt for the Verizon Edge installment plan.

Verizon claims that it will exclusively offer the smartphone in the United States. However, it wouldn’t be a surprise if other carriers pick up the device too (we’ve seen the Z30 with AT&T branding before its announcement).
When available, the BlackBerry Z30 will face a slew of capable competitors in its price range. Here’s hoping that it will do better than its sibling, the BlackBerry Z10.

Video shot on LG V20 details the advantages of Android 7.0 Nougat

Image
With no IFA to worry about, LG is setting up for its own September 6 party and it's cooking up some nougat - but the recipe is half about actual nougat and half about how awesome the new LG V20 will be. It will be the first phone to launch with Android 7.0 Nougat (no Nexus event yet). There's a heavy emphasis on multitasking - fast switching between apps (double tap the App switcher key), split pop-up video, quick notification replies, drag and drop between apps and more. The event will be held in San Francisco and Seoul and will come just after the bustle of IFA has died down. The V20 will have V10's secondary screen, its dual selfie camera AND G5's dual back camera for good measure. Other expected specs include a 5.7" QHD screen, Snapdragon 820 chipset with 4GB of RAM and a fingerprint reader. And as a demo of at least one of the four cameras, the promo video was shot on a V20. Looking at how smooth it is, even though it was shot handheld...

Samsung Reveals the Galaxy Gear Smartwatch

Offers voice-activated phone calls and text messaging. During its Unpacked 2013 Episode 2 event in Berlin on Wednesday, Samsung showed off the Galaxy Gear smartwatch . The device allows for hands-free calls, text messages, and emails without removing your synced Galaxy smartphone from your pocket. A 1.63-inch 320 x 320 AMOLED display is worked into six different colors of bands, and accepts simple swipes to complete tasks. Backed up by an 800 MHz processor, the Galaxy Gear includes a 1.9 megapixel camera. While there's certainly a question as to the durability of the lens--the camera is located on the side of the watch's band--the ease of taking a picture is certainly impressive. A quick downward swipe captures an image or video with the Memographer feature, and you can also record a quick voice memo for yourself into the Galaxy Gear. The Galaxy Gear syncs phone calls from your Galaxy smartphone, with communication requiring you to hold your hand up to your ...
