Chuwi unveiled the tablet earlier this month, and now the company has revealed the pricing. The entry-level model has 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and Remix OS 2.0 software.

Jolla may be just about done selling its own smartphones, but earlier this year the company announced a partnership with India phone maker Intex to launch a new phone powered by Jolla’s Sailfish operating system.
Now the Intex Aqua Fish is available for purchase in India for Rs 5,499, or about $82.
That makes the phone one of the first Sailfish OS devices available from a company other than Jolla… although it may not the be last.

It’s been less than a month since Amazon started selling two deeply discounted smartphones that come with ads on the lock screen and notification tray. Unsurprisingly it didn’t take long for someone to root the Moto G4 Prime Exclusive and eliminate the ads on that $150 version of the phone.
But Amazon also offers an even cheaper phone: the BLU R1 HD Prime Exclusive has a starting price of just $50 when you buy the ad-supported model (an ad-free version sells for $100 and up).

Google is rumored to be working with HTC on two new Nexus smartphones for 2016. A series of leaks have suggested that one will feature a 5 inch, 1080p display while the other has a 5.5 inch, 2560 x 1440 pixel screen.
Now another leak apparently confirms that the smaller phone, code-named “Sailfish” will have a 1920 x 1080 pixel display and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 (or maybe Snapdragon 821) processor, among other things.

The PGS handheld game PC looks good on paper: it has two screens, physical gaming buttons, support for up to 8GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage, and support for both Windows 10 and Android 6.0 software.
But when Portable Solutions started a Kickstarter campaign for the project, a lot of people started wondering if the PGS was too good to be true… especially given the facts that the company had never produced hardware before, only had a prototype hobbled together from existing computers made by other companies, and only sought to raise $100,000 (which seemed like an unreasonably low figure, given the amount of work it’d take to bring this sort of computer into the world).

There were rumors floating around last year that AOL and Yahoo were considering a merger. Then Verizon went and bought AOL for $4.4 billion instead. Now it looks like AOL and Yahoo will be under one roof after all, because Verizon is spending $4.8 billion to acquire most of Yahoo’s business.
Basically Verizon will handle Yahoo’s content, advertising, and related assets, but the company that will no-longer-be-known-as-Yahoo will retain its shares in Alibaba Group Holdings or Yahoo Japan, Yahoo’s cash, or some oft he company’s intellectual property, described as “non-core patents.”
Once the sale of Yahoo’s core business to Verizon is complete, Verizon will own the Yahoo name and the other company will start calling itself something else and become a new, publicly traded company.

The Gole1 is a tiny computer that’s hard to categorize. It’s basically a compact desktop computer that you can also use as a tablet. Or maybe it’s a tablet with a really small screen, a bunch of ports, and a kind of thick case.
Either way, it’s a small device that you can plug into a TV or monitor to use as a computer, media streaming device, or video game system. There’s a five inch touchscreen display on top that you can use to either mirror what’s happening on the big screen, or set up to use as an extended desktop.

It’s been nearly three years since a group of CyanogenMod developers announced they were forming a company to take what they’d learned about developing custom ROMs for Android and create a commercial Android-based operating system that phone makers could license.
Now it looks like Cyanogen Inc may be making some major changes.
Android Police reports the company is laying off about 20 percent of its workforce and considering a shift in strategy that could have the company producing Android apps rather than operating systems.
