Why is the iPhone 6s Plus so gigantic and unwieldy when Samsung’s Galaxy S7 edge is wonderfully compact and manageable? Both smartphones have screens that measure 5.5 inches diagonally, so they should be reasonably comparable in size. But alas, the Galaxy S7 edge is a pleasure to use with one hand while the iPhone 6s Plus is far too huge for most users to comfortably manage.
The reason is partially because of Apple’s need to keep that great big home button situated beneath the screen for Touch ID fingerprint authentication. Soon, however, Apple might be able to ditch the home button without having to move its fingerprint scanner to a less convenient position on the back of the phone.

Late last year in the heart of the holiday shopping season, we tried something new here at BGR. Instead of running a bunch of holiday-themed gift guides with the same old boring stuff you see on every other site, we published an “un-gift guide” packed with cool gear you couldn’t find in any other guide. We got tons of great feedback after publishing that unique guide, so we’re sticking with the theme.
This year ahead of Mother’s Day, gift guides are a dime a dozen. But unfortunately, they’re stuffed full of junk like Groupons for massages and discounted gardening tools. News flash: it’s 2016, not 1916. Being a mother doesn’t automatically mean you’re not a fan of fun gifts and cool technology, and we’re sick of all the assumptions to the contrary.
Welcome to our Mother’s Day gift guide, where you’ll find 10 tech-focused items that cool mothers young and old are going to love. And since you waited until the last minute to get your mother a Mother’s Day gift, we made sure that all 10 are eligible for free Prime shipping on Amazon. It’s OK, you can thank us later.

When Google redesigned the Android interface using its new “Material Design” guidelines, users were ecstatic. It’s not that Android’s old design was particularly bad, but the new and improved look of Android was sleek and modern. In fact, Material Design arguably made Android the best-looking mobile platform in the world.
After Android got its big makeover, other Google sites and services began to enjoy redesigns using the same Material look and feel. But after all this time, one of Google’s most popular sites — YouTube — has yet to get its Material makeover… until now.
Google is testing a fantastic new design for the YouTube website and it should be released at some point in the coming weeks. You don’t have to wait another minute to check out YouTube’s new design though, and we’ll tell you how in this post.
