Amazon found a surprise streaming hit at the end of July with its launch of The Boys, a comedy series that offers an irreverent take on what a gang of Earth’s mightiest, potty-mouthed heroes — with the show’s central conceit being that these are superheroes you don’t look up to. They don’t use their power for good, necessarily.

The series, which Amazon quickly picked up for a second season, debuted on the streamer two months to the day after Avengers: Endgame landed in theaters. It’s possible that fans of the superhero genre were still hungry for something else along those lines, with Marvel tying a bow on its run of 22 movies in that chapter of the MCU.

The Galaxy Note 10 that Samsung just launched is one of the best phones you can buy right now. It has a great screen, a speedy processor, faster than ever storage and an improved camera system. But, less than a month since Samsung unveiled the flagship, we already have an even better device, made with gaming in mind.

That’s because Android vendors keep making gaming phones, which are essentially flagship handsets that are even more powerful than the regular flagships.

Thanks to market saturation and incremental upgrades, it seems that the excitement for Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 11 lineup isn’t as palpable as we’ve seen in years past. In light of that, it will be interesting to see how Apple’s next-gen iPhones perform from a sales perspective. Recall, Apple’s earnings report for the June quarter revealed that the iPhone accounted for less than half of Apple’s total revenue, something we haven’t seen since 2012.

In an effort to better ascertain how consumers will respond to Apple’s iPhone 11 lineup, Wallethub recently surveyed more than 1500 iPhone owners and came away with some interesting data points. Specifically, the survey revealed that “28% fewer people plan on buying the new iPhone this year than last year.”

This may very well be the last fall season for the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One with two new consoles on the way next year, but we are still right in the middle of the life cycle for the Nintendo Switch. In fact, this could be the busiest holiday season the Switch has seen since it launched back in 2017, and in order to get everyone hyped up for all of the upcoming games, Nintendo is hosting a 40-minute long Nintendo Direct at 6 PM ET on Wednesday.

This is the first Nintendo Direct since E3 2019 in June, and though Nintendo says it will focus on 2019 Switch games that have already been announced, the stream is scheduled to last just as long as the E3 Direct. It’s not an especially bold prediction, but I have a feeling the company has a few surprises in store for the live stream.

Roku’s hardware portfolio just got a little larger, thanks to the unveiling Wednesday of the company’s new Smart Soundbar that functions as both a TV speaker as well as a Roku media player that can serve up a ton of content without the need for a separate device.

Among its key features, the soundbar houses four different drivers to help it deliver a big improvement over your existing TV speakers. You’ll also get “automatic volume leveling” with the new soundbar, which retails for about $179.99 and which means you shouldn’t have to use a remote anymore to keep adjusting the volume because of loud and then softer volume and dialogue.

Disney’s streaming service will launch in a couple of months and it’s probably the streaming service to get this fall. It’s got a great price that’s cheaper than its main competitors, including Netflix, HBO, and probably Apple, as well as a ton of great content and better features. We’re looking at support for four 4K simultaneous streams for the cheapest tier, which is well above what Netflix is doing. Add to that the option to subscribe for a full year for just $69.99, and you end up with an even cheaper Disney+ subscription. But if there’s one thing to dislike about the service, it’s that it won’t be binge-friendly. Disney will release new episodes for its original shows on a weekly schedule, just like HBO does.
