Motorola’s 5G Moto Mod will have proximity shutoff sensors to limit exposure to millimeter waves

Posted: 16 Feb 2019 06:51 PM PST

Last August, Motorola announced what might still wind up being the world's first true 5G phone — the Verizon-exclusive Moto Z3 with an optional 5G Moto Mod. It's a snap-on module that the company promised would give you an insanely fast 5Gbps cellular connection, faster than most landlines these days. But Moto Z3 buyers had to take the company's word for that, because the 5G Mod wouldn't be available until "early 2019," when Verizon's 5G NR network is due to launch in the United States.

Well, the 5G Moto Mod just crossed the FCC today, and it came with a surprise in tow — a document that has more details about how it'll work than I thought the company would ever publicly reveal.

And one of those details is sure to surprise some people,...

Google is reportedly hiding behind shell companies to scoop up tax breaks and land

Posted: 16 Feb 2019 02:30 PM PST

Should local communities have the right to know before a big tech company moves in? Should they be able to protest before city planners offer those companies millions or even billions of dollars in incentives? Those were the questions raised when Amazon was promised $1.2 billion in subsidies to bring a new headquarters to New York City, and we're asking them again today — because The Washington Post reports that Google has been using secret shell companies to nab millions in tax breaks as it expands its data centers and offices across the US.

The Post's investigation starts with a doozy: Google reportedly hid behind the name "Sharka LLC" to win $10 million in tax breaks for a new data center in Midlothian, Texas, by signing both its...

TCL’s first foldable phone could slap-bracelet itself into a smartwatch

Posted: 16 Feb 2019 12:02 PM PST

We've seen practically as many different folding phone concepts as there are phone manufacturers, but one particularly intriguing idea may soon be coming back from the dead — CNET reports that BlackBerry and Alcatel brand owner TCL is working on as many as five different foldable devices, one of them a phone that can bend around your wrist like a bracelet, per the image you're seeing immediately above these words.

That's actually not a new idea: one of the very first folding phone prototypes we saw from Lenovo was a bracelet-watch, back in 2016. Here's a video of that one from Moor Insights & Strategy analyst Anshel Sag:

To be honest, details on TCL's devices are pretty scarce. CNET's only got the renders above and an image from a...

LG’s first 5G phone just leaked — here’s the V50 ThinQ

Posted: 16 Feb 2019 10:13 AM PST

OK, I'm about convinced that Vlad is right: phone manufacturers aren't even trying anymore. Hot on the heels of learning practically everything Samsung could possibly announce at its Galaxy S10 press conference later this month, including up to five phones and an entire wearables lineup, we're now leaning that LG's new superphone — the LG V50 ThinQ — has just broken cover. It turns an entire trail of bread crumbs into a remarkably decent picture of a phone worth watching for.

We knew that LG was bringing a 5G smartphone to Sprint in the first half of 2019, and separately, we'd heard that the company might debut its rumored, 5G-equipped V50 superphone alongside the likely-to-be-more-reasonably-priced LG G8 at Mobile World Congress later...

The NBA app-controlled ‘smart jersey’ of the future lets you change your player name and number

Posted: 16 Feb 2019 10:00 AM PST

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver gave the world a peek at the future of jerseys during this week's NBA All-Start Technology Summit, an event dedicated to illustrating how technology might advance the sport by 2038.

In addition to mentioning fans gaining entry into games via facial recognition, hologram mascots, and more personalized game experiences, Silver demonstrated the future of jerseys: a piece of smart clothing that can change the name and number displayed on them through a mobile app. Details on how the jersey is made weren't shared, but it's a neat, concept and something we haven't seen before.

You can check out the demo below:

10 new trailers you should watch this week

Posted: 16 Feb 2019 09:00 AM PST

I'll keep this week's intro (relatively) short and simple: if you haven't already seen Into the Spider-Verse, you should do it. The animation alone is worth the price of admission — there's nothing else on screen that's quite like it in terms of look and feel.

The film is also a perfect example of how you can tell the same basic story over and over again (it's still Spider-Man, after all), but still make it feel fresh by infusing the details with characters that draw you in and make you care about them. And this film does that with the perfect balance of earnestness and humor.

Check out 10 trailers from this week below.

Aladdin

Oh my god, Will Smith as a genie. On one hand, it's horrifying. On the other, maybe it's the role he was born...

Apex Legends players think its in-game items are way too expensive

Posted: 16 Feb 2019 08:15 AM PST

Respawn's Apex Legends is a huge hit. The free-to-play battle royale shooter is closing out its second week since release, and it's still retaining its top spot on the Twitch leaderboards following its successful first e-sports event. Top streamers like Ninja and Shroud continue to play the game on a daily basis, and it's looking like it could have a healthy life as a top-tier competitive game if Respawn puts the resources into building out a proper tournament structure.

But one element of the game that may affect its long-term popularity is its business model, with many players worried that Apex's in-game prices are too expensive.

As a free-to-play title, Apex Legends has to generate revenue somehow, and the best way to do that in an...

Everything we think we know about the Samsung Galaxy S10

Posted: 16 Feb 2019 07:00 AM PST

We're just a few days away from Samsung's giant 10th anniversary Galaxy S10 event on February 20th, and it's looking like it'll be one of the biggest phone announcements Samsung has ever made. Fortunately, given that we live in a world where leaks are plentiful and manufacturers aren't even trying to keep secrets anymore, we already know a ton about Samsung's new phones.

So if you can't wait for the official announcement on February 20th, here's everything we know so far:

The S10 and S10 Plus

The core of Samsung's lineup will stay the same as the last few years: there's a regular S10 model and a larger S10 Plus, this time with 6.1-inch and 6.3-inch displays, respectively. And thanks to a complete...

Golden State updates the dystopian thriller for the #FakeNews era

Posted: 16 Feb 2019 06:00 AM PST

American speculative fiction can trace its roots back to the country's puritanical origins, which left its mark on a wide range of authors. Starting with Nathaniel Hawthorne and continuing through Shirley Jackson and Margaret Atwood, these writers focus on the role that their characters play in society at large, and what those societies do to keep their subjects in line. That influence cuts through Ben H. Winters' latest novel, Golden State, in which a police officer uncovers a troubling conspiracy in an alternate future where truth is absolute, and where lying is swiftly and severely punished.

The country of Golden State sits on what used to be California, and Winters quickly illustrates the state's response to lying. His main...
