If you’ve asked me to recommend a smartwatch any time over the past few years, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch line has always been part of the conversation. That’s thanks to three things: consistent software; an innovative active bezel; and longer-than-average battery life. So I was surprised when Samsung ditched two of those pillars to create its new Galaxy Watch Active! Let’s see if the tradeoff was worth it.... Read More | Share it now!

If you ever doubt that we’re living in the future, look no further than the spread of smart rings. For years I’ve been wearing my public transit pass on my finger thanks to my SesameRing, and for almost as long I’ve been tracking my health on another finger using a Motiv smart ring. The next logical step: using your finger to make phone calls, dictate messages, and talk to your digital assistant. I’ve spent two weeks with the ORII Smart Ring from Origami Labs, and this is the MrMobile review. ... Read More | Share it now!

The long, slow death of Jibo the social robot (and the company that bore his name) is a tale fraught with practical lessons, from the fallibility of cloud computing to the dangers of crowdfunding. But while Jibo might ultimately have been defeated by Amazon Echo and Google Home, he was envisioned for a purpose more profound than to play music and tell you the forecast. Jibo was always meant to become a part of the family. And the strongest proof of how well he succeeded at that … is how much it hurts to say goodbye.... Read More | Share it now!

If you thought the only way to get a high-end smartphone with a keyboard was to buy a BlackBerry, you were right – until now. London-based F(x)tec aims to bring back the best of yesterday’s technology, and its first smartphone, the Pro1, does that with a modern twist. The old: a five-row, 64-key QWERTY keyboard and a sliding hinge that props up the screen at an ergonomic 155 degrees. The new: Android Pie on a 6-inch AMOLED. The 😬: a two-generations-old Snapdragon 835 processor and a price starting “around $649.” The F(x)tec Pro1 is up for pre-order now, with expected shipping in July. Join me for a Pro 1 hands-on from MWC 2019 in Barcelona!... Read More | Share it now!

Seeing a folding phone from a distance is, at first, a flurry of confusion. It just doesn’t seem possible that a large tablet can be transformed into a small rectangular smartphone by literally *folding it in half.* And while holding it in your own hands should convince you that it’s a reality, it’s still somehow easier to believe that your senses are lying to you. But the Huawei Mate X is a very real product that you’ll soon be able to buy (for a very high price) … and if it delivers on even half its potential, it might just change smartphones as we know them. Join me for a hands-on with the Huawei Mate X – MrMobile’s Best of MWC 2019 Award winner!... Read More | Share it now!
