Samsung to Unveil Gear S3 on Aug. 31

Samsung Gear S2

In the market for a new smartwatch? You might want to hold off on buying one for a few weeks, because Samsung is gearing up to launch a new model soon.
Gear S3 inviteThe Korean tech giant on Monday sent invitations to members of the media for a "mobile event" at the IFA consumer electronics trade show in Berlin on Aug. 31, strongly hinting that a Gear S3 smartwatch is on the way.
"Talk about 3," the invite reads alongside an image of a circular watch face. The bottom of the invite includes a Gear logo, all but confirming what we'll hear about at the event.
As for what to expect from the Gear S3, we'll just have to wait and see. PCMag will be at the event, so stay tuned for all the details later this month.
Samsung unveiled its Gear S2 smartwatch (pictured) last summer ahead of IFA. The Gear S2 sports a 1.2-inch circular Super AMOLED 360-by-360 display with 302ppi. It runs a dual-core 1GHz processor and comes with 4GB of internal memory and 512MB of RAM. Like other Gear devices, it runs Tizen, Samsung's proprietary OS.
PCMag reviewed the Gear S2 last year and gave it a "good" rating of 3.5 stars. The smartwatch earned props for its "great software" and "thoughtful design," but we lamented its "paltry app selection and finicky voice recognition." More recently, the watch got a handy new feature: Samsung Pay.

Motorola Moto Z Review: Hello Modular Moto Under Google, Motorola defiantly swam against the natural current of the smartphone market. The Moto X, unlike other Android flagships at the time, was not a specs hero but instead offered lean, effective software and the ability to personalize the device through Motomaker. The Moto X defined the company’s time as an extension of Mountain View; fun and vibrant, but it wasn’t enough. In 2014, Google pulled the plug on the Motorola experiment and sold the company to Chinese tech giant Lenovo. We had to wait several years to see what affect the new ownership would have, and in 2016 we finally have our answer with the Moto Z. Like the Moto X it replaces, the Z defines the company’s time under its new owners, and Lenovo has certainly made its mark. The first “Lenovorola” product does away with everything the company forged under Google. And that’s not a bad thing. A New Era The Moto X, and its various successors, were g...

One Plus 3 Flash Sale!!!

Image
OnePlus 3 price and release date OnePlus today announced that a flash sale would be held for the OnePlus 3 on June 6 at 10am CST (10pm ET). This offer is for 1,000 units and pre-order only. The device will not be shipped until after the unveiling on June 14. The flash sale price will be around 2999 CNY, which comes out to around $455 (see banner below). But since we expect the base price to be far lower, well below $400, we have to wonder why this is being called a flash sale. As this price seems quite high, it's possible that these first 1,000 buyers could get some sort of limited edition. Or the other possibility is these buyers are paying more because they're getting it first. But it could be that the flash sale price is lower than the retail price, but this is unlikely. A leak in early May suggested the OnePlus 3 base model was to sell for $310, while a premium version, with more memory, was said to come in at $38...
