The Sonos Play:5 and Sub are expected to receive an update as well.

Sonos is much loved by audiophiles, and the Playbar is one of the reasons for the love, but it lacks in some of the newer tech that is out there. Thankfully, it seems that the long-awaited update to the Playbar may finally be on the horizon.

Forza Street launches on iOS and Android on May 5 and all players will get at least one batch of free stuff.

What you need to know

Forza Street is a free-to-play mobile game and the first mobile Forza experience.
Long awaited mobile launch comes after an initial period on Windows 10.
All players can get free cars to celebrate the launch.

After a launch on Windows 10 PCs and a soft launch in places on mobile, Microsoft’s Forza Street is finally about to launch on iOS and Android to all. Forza Street is Turn 10’s first attempt at a dedicated mobile Forza experience with a simplified, touch-friendly play style and more casual approach to racing.

Which made it a little peculiar that it actually launched on Windows 10 first. In any case, it’s now where it needs to be, finally, and all players will be getting some bonus items for playing during the first 30 days from May 5.

The Founders Pack which is available to all, even long time Windows 10 players, will gift the 2017 Ford GT t…

Here’s what to expect from the LG G9 by a different name.

With so many phones that are released during a given year, it only makes sense for some of them to slip between the cracks. Other companies gets fiercer, prices get more competitive, and those that aren’t truly amazing often get left to the wayside.

Unfortunately, that seems to have been the case for LG for the last few years. The company makes solid devices, but a handful of quirks or missteps keep them from achieving true greatness.

2020 is here, and this time around, we’re getting the LG Velvet (aka the successor to 2019’s LG G8). This is the phone we were expecting to be called the LG G9, but LG wanted to do something a bit different rather than a boring year-over-year upgrade.

Is the Velvet what the company needs to turn things around? Here’s everything we know about the phone so far!

Samsung’s new Notes are here — let’s talk about them.

In the second half of each year, Samsung launches a new entry in its Galaxy Note series to showcase the very best it has to offer in smartphones. For 2019, Samsung used the Galaxy Note 10, Note 10+, and Note 10+ 5G to do just that.

2019 was the first year Samsung’s ever launched three Notes at the same time, and along with that, the company also made some controversial decisions when it comes to legacy Note features. Even so, these handsets stand out as some of the best smartphones Samsung has to offer right now (even with the Galaxy S20 now available).
