The upcoming OnePlus 3 is expected to be unveiled during a press event on June 14th… which will be held in virtual reality.

Microsoft has been making smartphone operating systems for just about as long as anyone, and the company started selling its own hardware under the Lumia brand after acquiring Nokia in 2014.
But Android and iOS continue to dominate the smartphone market and Gartner estimates that Windows had a market share of just about 1 percent last year.
So it’s not surprising that Microsoft is making changes. The company has announced it’s eliminating about 1,850 jobs in its smartphone hardware business, taking a $950 million restructuring charge, and shifting focus.

Chinese device maker Meegopad offers a range of small form-factor computers running Windows 10 software. Now the company is introducing its first PC-on-a-stick running Remix OS.
MeegoPad is taking pre-orders for the MeegoPad A02 through a crowdfunding campaign in China at JD.com, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see this system sold in other markets in the future.
The MeegoPad A02 features an Allwinner A83t ARM Cortex-A7 octa-core processor, up to 2GB of RAM, and up to 32GB of storage.

Google has stopped selling the Nexus Player through the Google Store… which shouldn’t be all that surprising since it’s been more than a year and a half since the Android TV box first went on sale.
But what is a little surprising is that Google seems to be pulling the plug on the Nexus Player without introducing a new model.
The company isn’t exactly giving up on the Android TV space.

E Ink makes the digital paper used in most eReaders like the Amazon Kindle and B&N Nook Glowlight. But the company has also been branching out into areas like digital signage and even digital luggage tags in recent years.
This week the company is showing off several new technologies at the SID Display Week in San Francisco… and they’re all about digital signage.
So while it’s nice to know that the company’s latest color E Ink display can show more colors than earlier models, it’d be even nicer if that meant we’d see low-power, sunlight readable color eReaders anytime soon.

There are so many Bluetooth speaker options that it can be hard to figure out which provides the best value. When I was in the market for one a few years ago, I took the advice of The Wirecutter and picked up a UE Mini Boom, and I’ve been very happy with that decision.
So while I haven’t felt the need to upgrade, I took notice when the company launched an updated model called the UE Roll last year, featuring a waterproof design and a speaker that projects sound in 360 degrees.

Samsung may have been one of the first companies to launch a smartwatch using Google’s Android Wear software… but the company’s first Android Wear watch was also its last.
Since launching the Samsung Gear Live, the company has launched half a dozen other wearables, and they’ve all used a version of the Tizen operating system.
So it shouldn’t really come as a surprise that Samsung confirmed to Fast Company that it currently has no plans to launch another Android Wear device.

Take the guts of a Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphone, add a bigger battery, and stuff everything into a thicker, ruggedized case and what you’ve got is the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active.
Samsung hasn’t officially launched the phone yet, but Evan Blass has written an article for VentureBeat that spills the beans on pretty much everything except the price.

Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) has been offering tiny desktop computers under its Liva brand since 2013. But up until recently, every Liva computer has had one major drawback: they weren’t easy to upgrade.
That’s because the compact computers featured tiny system boards with embedded processors and storage soldered to the motherboard.
Then ECS launched the Liva One earlier this year, featuring a larger case design and an Intel Skylake processor. Now the company is unveiling a new model called the Liva Pro, which features a socketed, mini STX motherboard.

Microsoft’s Lumia 950 XL may be one of the most powerful Windows smartphones to date, but with a list price of $650, it’s also one of the most expensive. But Microsoft is currently selling the phone for $150 off, which actually makes it cheaper than the smaller (and slower) Lumia 950.
The phone features a 5.7 inch, 2560 x 1440 pixel display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 320 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a 3,340 mAh battery, and support for Continuum software that lets you connect a mouse, keyboard and display to use the phone as a (limited) desktop PC.
