Launched a few years ago, Android gaming phones are pimped out flagship devices intended to offer an even better gaming experience than regular flagship phones. What sets them apart from those regular phones are displays featuring higher refresh rates, which is a feature that definitely helps with gaming. However, the 90Hz and 120Hz displays seen on these Android phones can also improve the overall Android experience, and OnePlus already made use of 90Hz screens on the OnePlus 7 Pro. On the other side of the fence, Apple has upped the refresh rate on its iPad Pro and users have been dying to get the same great experience on their iPhones.

Google has been rumored to be planning an upgraded 90Hz refresh rate on the upcoming Pixel 4 flagships, and Android 10 just delivered more proof to support those rumors.

Most people already know that regularly drinking soda can have negative health consequences. Whether you prefer sugar or artificial sweeteners in your soft drinks, guzzling cans of cola on a daily basis is obviously not as beneficial as, say, just drinking water. Still, you might not think that a soda habit could have a direct effect on your lifespan. A new study suggests the opposite is true.

Published in JAMA Internal Medicine, the new research utilized data from over 450,000 individuals across 10 European countries, and it draws a shockingly clear link between regular soda consumption and early death.

Disney has for weeks now been doing everything it can to underscore why it’s positioning its forthcoming Netflix rival, Disney+, as the future of the entertainment giant. Not that you have to look very hard to find all the supporting evidence you’d need. Right off the bat, the $6.99/month streamer will be the home of 25 original series in its first year, as well as 10 original films and specials, plus some 500 older films and thousands of episodes of new and old TV shows. Disney+ will also be the exclusive streaming outlet for new releases from Disney, Pixar, LucasFilm, and Marvel, in addition to the past 30 seasons of The Simpsons as well as The Mandalorian, the first live-action Star Wars series.

The first time we tested the TaoTronics SoundSurge 60 Wireless Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, we couldn’t believe what we were hearing.

Wait, did we say $60? Clip the on-site coupon and use the promo code ECQDWW3T at checkout, and you can get a pair for just $39.99, which is an all-time low! Thousands of our readers have already gotten in on the action… have you?

So, earlier this week we told you about an incredible sale that was a total accident. The gist of it is that Anker sent out marketing emails saying its wildly popular AA and AAA batteries were about to go on sale on Amazon. When the sale actually began, however, it turned out that the company accidentally doubled the discounts from the email, which meant that prices were WAY lower than they were supposed to be. Well guess what: the mistake still hasn’t been fixed! 24-packs of Anker Alkaline AAA Batteries were supposed to go on sale for $8.99, but a rogue 35% coupon slashes the price all the way down to just $5.84. On top of that, 24-packs of Anker Alkaline AA Batteries were going to drop to $10.99 according to Anker, but an extra 23% coupon cuts the price to just $8.46. These deals are both mistakes and they could be fixed at any time. As long as they’re still live on the Amazon site, however, the retail has to honor these prices. In other words… hurry!

Anker Alkaline AAA Batteries (24-Pack)

• The Anker Advantage: Join the 30 million+ powered by our leading technology.
• Long-Lasting Power: Power small devices like remotes for over a year, or keep toys and game controllers running for much longer than other brands are able to.
• PowerLock: An air- and liquid-tight seal keeps the power inside; until you’re ready to unleash it.
• 10-Year Shelf Life: Buying batteries in bulk never made more sense. Anker Alkaline batteries work flawlessly for up to 10 years after they are first purchased.
• Adaptive Output: Anker Alkaline batteries deliver only the power required by your devices, ensuring universal compatibility and long life.

With Apple’s big unveiling of the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max set to take place mere days from now, the upcoming new iPhone models are obviously dominating the news cycle right now. The sleek new iPhones are set to be the hottest new smartphones of the year, with a tweaked design and new cameras that could finally propel Apple back to the head of the pack when it comes to smartphone photography. We’ve also heard rumors of new frosted glass backs and new color options that should help spice up an otherwise modest hardware update. And when it comes to performance, we’re obviously expecting big things from Apple’s next-generation A13 processor.

Apple’s iPhones are always at the top of the pile when it comes to power. In fact, it’s difficult not to be impressed each year when we see brand new Android phones debut month after month that still can’t manage to match the performance of Apple’s iPhones from the prior year. Such is the case again this year, as brand new flagship phones like the Galaxy Note 10 and other 2019 flagship models continue to be outdone by Apple’s year-old iPhone XR and iPhone XS handsets. Now, benchmark test scores from another upcoming Android phone have just leaked, and they once again show a 2019 Android phone that can’t compete with 2018 iPhones. In fact, forget about last year’s iPhones… it can’t even outperform Apple’s iPhone lineup from back in 2017 in some key benchmarks.

Even though we’re well aware that LG is developing a few exciting concepts for foldable phones, the company is yet to embrace the foldable movement. And who can really blame them given that foldable phones aren’t easy to make or sell. Instead, unlike any other smartphone makers out there who’re carving up sleeker and better flagships, LG is going for a type of device that should never be allowed to exist in the current market place: a dual-screen phone that looks uglier and more cumbersome to use than a foldable device. And somehow, LG G8X Thin Q’s second screen features a secondary notch that serves no purpose.
