Introduced alongside the rest of the Moto G7 family, the G7 Play sports the smallest display of the group, making it much easier to handle while still giving you a lot of the same features and specs as the other devices. However, there are some of us out there who still want to keep our precious devices protected no matter what. Here are our picks for the best cases for the G7 Play.

Slim and Matte

Sunnyw Ultra-Thin TPU Case

Staff pick

Slim cases are popular since they keep the bulkiness of your already-hefty smartphone down. The Sunnyw Slim case offers a compact construction, along with raised bezels and tactile button covers for the best all-around experience.

On the hip

Encased Scorpio

It’s essential to have excellent protection, but a case with a holster is always a plus. The Encased Scorpio Case offers not only an easy way to have your phone handy on your hip, but the holster also sports a built-in kickstand. That allows you to prop up your Moto G7 Play …

Leveling up your home entertainment setup just became a bit more affordable thanks to Vizio’s current sale on its M-series and P-series 4K UHD Smart TVs at retailers such as Target, Walmart, and Best Buy. You could even shop these deals at warehouse clubs like Costco or Sam’s Club. Options start as low as $599.99 today, giving you the opportunity to save up to $600 while supplies last.

Target has the best deal on Vizio TVs right now. Though the P-Series models are the same prices there as they are at Walmart, Best Buy, and other stores, you can use a free Target RedCard to save an additional 5% off the purchase price of the TV you choose. There are two different RedCards, one which acts as a credit card and another which is a debit card. The debit option has zero fees and takes money right out of your bank account when you make a purchase, so you don’t have to worry about any additional charges by using it.

The most affordable model on sale today won’t be found at Target. Instead, …

OnePlus 8 Pro review: A cheaper, better Galaxy S20+ | Android Central
…

Competition makes for better products, and the Android ecosystem is more competitive than ever. The best of the best right now is the Galaxy S20+, bringing an excellent combination of hardware, display, specs, features, and cameras into a single package. If you want a new Android phone at any price range, we’ve done the research to separate the great from the good, and the good from the bad. This list will help you make your next purchase easier.

Best Overall: Samsung Galaxy S20+

Before the Galaxy S20 series came out, our top pick here was the Galaxy S10+ — and everything Samsung did this year made it an easy move to recommend the S20+. The S20+ makes improvements across the board, with a bigger display that has a super-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, a larger 4,500mAh battery, more RAM, and a new Snapdragon 865 processor. Every Galaxy S20+ is 5G capable as well, for all of the U.S. carriers, which isn’t the biggest deal right now but will become more important as we push into 2021….

Samsung’s Galaxy Fold sequel fixes niggling issues with the first model — if these rumors are accurate.

What you need to know

More leaks of the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 have emerged months before an expected release.
The outer screen of the Fold 2 is said to be much bigger and capacious compared to the initial release, and the inner screen will jump in size as well as shift up to 120Hz.
The Fold 2 is also expected to debut with an S-Pen, improving its productivity focus.

Samsung’s Galaxy Fold 2 has been rumored to be making its way down sometime this year, and now we have a bit of an idea of what kind of specs will drive this experience.

In a series of tweets, industry analyst Ross Young shared the display specs of the upcoming foldable, tweeting:

If you’re planning to set up a smart home, you’ll need the basics. First, you have to decide what smart home platform you want to adopt, with the most popular being Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit (though you could use more than one if you really wanted). Then, you need to start building it out with devices that let you control music, lights, security cameras, TVs, and more through a single smartphone app or even voice. There’s so much from which to choose, but here are six must-have smart home accessories you should consider adding to your system this year.

Extending Alexa

Amazon Echo Dot (3rd-Gen)

Staff Pick

Even if you have a larger Alexa-enabled speaker on the main level of your home that can hear vocal commands from all over, it’s worthwhile to add a second Echo Dot somewhere for additional support. You might even want to use it on your nightstand as an alarm clock since the third-generation version adds an LED display that can show the time, outdoor te…
