Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Caught by Blurry cam, Looks Like an 8-inch Galaxy Note II
The infamous blurry cam strikes again, and this time, it’s the Galaxy Note 8.0 that was caught showing off its pre-release wares. Italian outlet DDAY.it caught this 8-inch S-Pen wielding piece of hardware out in the wild, and lo and behold, it resembles an 8-inch Samsung Galaxy Note II/S III.
While it’s not too surprising that Samsung would continue with a design that’s resulted in over 40 million device sales, it is a bit of an odd design for a tablet. I am, of course, talking about the hardware buttons.
I can barely tolerate hardware buttons on a smartphone, but on a tablet — they’re simply horrendous and unnecessary. It’s a bad design choice in my opinion and I’m hoping the final product won’t have them. Remember, Samsung is known to switch up designs all the way up until release, so it’s very possible the Galaxy Note 8.0 we’re seeing in these photos isn’t the Note 8.0 we’ll end up seeing at Mobile World Congress next month.
I’m going to pretend I didn’t see this poor judgement call by Samsung and I’m going to keep my hopes up for a Galaxy Note 8.0 that I might actually be interested in.

Urban Armor Gear LG G4 Case Review
June 23, 2015 | Vincent Messina
The Urban Armor Gear series of cases for the LG G4 aim to protect and serve your mobile device in a virtual blanket of, well, urban armor. Designed from a patented lightweight composite consisting of a hard outer shell and a soft impact resistant core, this dual layer defense not only meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), but looks good doing it. Now, before I go into more detail, let it be know that I have always been more of an au naturel device kind of guy, but after a bit of time with the Ash colored LG G4 Urban Armor Case, I can tell you that this case won’t be coming off any time soon.
Device Review: Droid Turbo, This is the Droid You’re Looking For
January 31, 2015 | Keyan X
The DROID brand deserves the majority of credit for the amount of early success that the Android operating system had in 2009 and 2010. From the original Motorola DROID to the original DROID Incredible, this was the brand of phones that people flocked to if they wanted a phone outside of the iPhone, not just because of a great marketing campaign, but because these were top of the line phones. Ask most of the readers on this site which phone got them started on Android, and you shouldn’t be surprised to hear them say, “The OG DROID.” It’s an iconic phone that helped launch Android to the top.
