17 features and tricks to help you get started with Spotify

-
Image
Spotify is one of the world's most popular music streaming services, with 157 million active users ( as of December 2017 ) and over 35 million songs. Originally born in Sweden, it quickly gained popularity as it expanded outside of its home country. Frankly, it's hard to believe that Spotify hit U.S. shores almost seven years ago. For many who were accustomed to mainstays at the time like Pandora and iHeartRadio, Spotify represented something different. And to some of us, its disparity to those other services was off-putting. I was one of those people who was initially excited about it, then quickly became frustrated with it when I tried to use it like Pandora, which was my go-to back then. Fast forward to the very recent past and I decided to give Spotify another try — at the behest of Artem, no less.

Google Pixel 3 Teardown: Adhesive secures battery, different OLED panel

-
Image
The Google Pixel 3 XL Teardown by iFixit we featured yesterday revealed the bigger variant offers a whole lot of glue and is a bit challenging to disassemble and repair. We were surprised by the AMOLED screen as it was made by Samsung–one of its biggest rivals. The smartphone isn't exactly our top choice right now but the premium flagship has potential. It has a smaller variant, the standard Pixel 3, that comes without a notch and obviously wide forehead and chin. The Pixel 3 teardown shouldn't be any different from the Google Pixel 3 XL teardown but iFixit was curious if the display is the same. The team opened the new Pixel and discovered the panel is from LG. That's an interesting fact because last year, the Pixel 2 XL had used a display from LG while the vanilla Pixel 2 screen was from Samsung. We're not sure if this is already the latest OLED screen technology from the other South Korean tech giant. Opening the third-gen Pixel 3 is the same as wit...

Samsung's first foldable smartphone has made quite the comeback. Despite the early troubles , it has come back stronger and is actually selling out in markets where it's being sold. The Galaxy Fold won't be the only foldable smartphone to come out of Samsung, though. It has been known for a while that the company is working on another foldable smartphone . From what we gather, this is going to be a slightly more affordable version, and we now hear that it's going to be made available worldwide. Samsung is currently selling the Galaxy Fold in select markets and that too in limited quantities. Next Galaxy Fold will see a wider release That was to be expected. It's not going to end up making more units of the Galaxy Fold than it can sell. What the first device is doing more than anything is taking the market's temperature, so to speak. It will help Samsung understand just how big of a demand there is for foldable smartphones and what improvements or features...
