Samsung will launch its next-generation Gear S3 smartwatch later this year, according to a new report, and the company has teamed up with a Swiss jeweler to create a luxury version that could take the fight to the all-gold Apple Watch Edition.

Google is expected to bring Android app support to its Chrome OS platform after several references to the Play Store were found in the latest developer release.

The move could make more than a million Android titles compatible with super-affordable laptops from the likes of Acer and HP, and it could be announced at Google I/O next month.

Like the new Nexus 5X, 32GB of internal storage was the most you could get with the Nexus 5. But 18 months on, that’s just not enough for some people — and there’s nothing you can do about it without a microSD card slot. Except one thing.

With the right tools, an incredibly steady hand, and plenty of courage, you can whip out the storage chip that’s inside your Nexus 5 and replace it with a bigger one — as you’ll see in the hack below.

Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy Note will be even more spectacular than its last, according to the latest claims.

The South Korean company is said to be toying with the idea of introducing a larger, curved display, which will likely accompany a brand new Qualcomm processor, an even greater camera, and an insane 6GB of RAM.
