The other day Google announced two new Nexus phones during their Nexus event, the Nexus 6P and the Nexus 5X. Both are pretty solid entries into the Nexus brand, with the Nexus 5X in particular being an upgraded version of LG’s previous Nexus 5. Since the original announcement, all that has really been known about the launching of either device is that pre-orders are live now, and that they would be shipping out later this month.
Yesterday we launched our new Deals store and while we already have a promo code for everyone to use for 10% off any purchase for a limited time, that certainly isn’t all that is going on to help celebrate the launch of the new store. Another event going on happens to be a giveaway for a Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge.
While this isn’t really gaming related, we might as well cover the last piece of hardware Google announced today during their event, Chromecast Audio. This is actually a pretty neat idea that allows users to turn their current speakers at home into ‘smart speakers’ basically. The whole thing works almost the same as normal Chromecast, except it is for music.
Google announced today a new device they have been working on called the Pixel C, which is a tablet and keyboard combination which runs Android Marshmallow. However, even though this is a combination of two items, they are sold individually. It is also a pretty big powerhouse in terms of specs.
The wearables category of mobile devices has gone from being a niche space in consumer electronics to becoming the new frontier of mobile hardware and software development. San Jose based tech firm, Titanium Falcon, hopes to join the ranks of Google, Apple and Fitbit with a clever offering of their own; a gesture driven smart ring known as Talon.
Another interesting announcement coming from the Oculus Connect Day 2 keynote presentation is that the Samsung Gear VR headset will be getting a bunch of classic games brought over to it. This is all thanks to the inclusion of the Oculus Arcade, which will be available for the Gear VR headset.
During today’s keynote at the Oculus Connect event, Samsung announced a new headset that will be an improvement over the current one, and that it will cost a mere $99 as well. How exactly it will be better wasn’t really expanded upon too much, but it will work with more phones.
Almost a week ago exactly, Amazon’s rumored new 4K Fire TV went through FCC filing, letting us take an early look at the company’s next set-top box. Today Amazon has officially announced their new 4K Fire TV unit, with two different packages being available at the beginning of October. One of those packages is being called Fire TV Gaming Edition.
Razer’s currently existing series of audio devices/headsets called Kraken now have some new headsets added to the line. This time, however, the new headsets are geared towards use with mobile devices, mainly for mobile gamers. Anyone needing an in-line mic and plenty of stereo sound can use these though.
You may remember last week when it was reported that Google’s modular Android phone called Project Ara was being ‘recalculated’ and that there was a possible change in plans coming to the project. The Project Ara Twitter account, where all of this was originally announced, also stated that we can expect more updates to arrive this week. Those updates have begun and the first one is that the release of Project Ara is being delayed till sometime in 2016.
