Should You Buy The Samsung Galaxy Tab E Lite for Kids?

The Kids Tab E Lite doesn’t have to be a powerhouse for $100

It’s easy to say that Android tablets are dead in the water, and in the high-end market that might be true (though we’re pretty fond of the Galaxy Tab S3). But not everybody shopping for a tablet wants to spend $300 or more on an iPad — especially if they’re just looking for something to distract their kids during a long drive or doctor’s appointment.

Samsung seems to have a good solution with its confusingly named 7-inch tablet; depending on who you ask, it’s either called the Galaxy Tab E Lite Kids or the Kids Tab E Lite. Regardless of its name, it’s been extremely popular on both Amazon and Best Buy, getting overwhelmingly positive reviews from satisfied parents. So what’s all the fuss about? And should you buy one for your own kids?

It should be obvious, but it’s important to keep in mind that the Kids Tab E Lite isn’t meant to be a powerhouse iPad competitor like some of Samsung’s other tablets. Its specs are minimal, with a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage (expandable by up to 32GB via microSD), and Android 4.4 KitKat. Yep, you read that right. That’s all you need to run Samsung’s kid-friendly software, though, along with the media and games the tablet is meant to handle.

If you’ve ever enabled Kids Mode on your Galaxy phone, the interface on the Kids Tab E Lite will already be familiar — it’s a pared down version of Android that displays large shortcuts to the bundled apps on the tablet … and not much else. This is by design, to keep your kids from meddling where they shouldn’t, and make it easy to jump straight into the various STEM- and Common Core-focused games and books.

The Kids Tab E Lite comes with over 20 kid-friendly apps to get you started, but you also get a free three-month subscription to Samsung Kids to download more. There’s plenty of content from distributors like DreamWorks, Sesame Street, PBS Kids, and National Geographic to keep your kids educated and entertained at the same time. After the first three months, it’s either $7.99 each month or $59.99 for a year.

There’s a reason this tablet has so many great reviews — it’s kid-proof and has plenty of stuff for kids to do.

Aside from its kid-friendly software, the Kids Tab E Lite is essentially just Samsung’s Galaxy Tab E Lite with a durable, non-toxic case that protects it from the inevitable drops it’ll endure. It packs a 3600mAh battery that’ll keep it running all day, and a 2MP rear camera to kickstart your kid’s artistic side — no front camera though, so selfies are off the table.

The Kids Tab E Lite isn’t the most powerful tablet around by any means, but for $100, it doesn’t have to be. It just has to compete against Amazon’s Fire tablets and other inexpensive, kid-oriented tablets, and it seems to do so pretty well with Samsung’s well-versed ecosystem. If you’re on a Benjamin budget, give this tablet a shot — and if you’ve already got one, let us know about your experiences in the comments below!

Top 3 Reasons You Should Buy a Mid-Range Phone Over a Flagship in 2018

Phones keep getting better for cheaper. Why not take advantage of that?

One of the most exciting shifts in the smartphone world over the last few years has been the increasing availability of great mid-range options. Everybody loves a sleek flagship phone, but not everybody can or should spend the money on one — they’re just overkill for some people’s needs.

A lot of people just want a phone for casual gaming, social media, or photography, and while that all does tend to be a little better on flagships, that’s not a reason to drop upwards of $1000. You can easily get away with spending half as much or even less to accomplish the same things — and if savings aren’t a good enough reason on their own, here are a few more reasons you might want to go for a mid-range phone next time you’re shopping around.

You don’t have to sacrifice design anymore

Build quality used to be a big reason to go for a flagship instead of its cheaper, plasticky counterparts, but these days phones of all prices are really, really well-made. The OnePlus 6 and Moto Z3 Play are about $500 a piece, and both feature highly refined metal and glass designs, complete with the elongated aspect ratios and dual cameras you’d expect of a high-end phone in 2018.

Even going well below the $500 price range, a phone like the Honor 7X runs as cheap as $200 and still features a sturdy aluminum build with dual cameras and a fast fingerprint sensor. You really can’t ask for a better value than that.

The cameras are getting pretty great, too

I’m not going to pretend like flagships don’t still take the best pictures — the Galaxy S9 remains my pocket camera of choice, particularly for its excellent low-light performance. Mid-range phones are capable of taking some pretty great shots too. I spent a week in New York earlier this month and left my S9 behind to take the Moto Z3 Play out for a spin. The results were actually pretty great — take a look at some of the shots I got walking around Manhattan and Brooklyn.

I was definitely impressed with the photos I was able to take with a phone that goes for just $450 on Amazon. It might not have as much dynamic range as the S9 (and it certainly doesn’t have the low-light capabilities), but with a bit of work in an app like VSCO, you can get some pretty great results. Other phones like the OnePlus 6 or the original Google Pixel (depending on your viewpoint, that could be a mid-range phone, an old flagship, or both) do even better — the point is that there are plenty of affordable phones that take great photos.

The money you’ll save can be better spent elsewhere

What would you rather have for the same money: a flagship phone without any kind of protection, or a mid-range phone with an assortment of cases, some nice headphones, and maybe a portable battery pack or a Bluetooth speaker? The money you would otherwise spend getting a top-of-the-line phone can go towards any number of accessories for your mid-range phone, with enough cash left over to buy yourself a nice dinner and even pay your phone bill — or whatever else you’d want to use it for, it’s your money.

What phone is right for you?

It’s hard to define exactly what constitutes as a mid-range phone these days — back when flagship phones only cost about $650, $400 felt the upper end of mid-range, but with today’s phones reaching the quadruple digits in price, even $600 or $700 feels somewhat reasonable.

Whatever the case, have you stopped buying flagships and started going for mid-range phones instead? If so, how has your experience been so far? Let us know in the comments below!

Samsung is blowing out its official S9, S9+ and Note 8 cases for as low as $10

Find a new case for your phone at a hefty discount.

If you’re a current owner of a Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9+ device, Samsung has a blow out sale going on right now taking the price of some of its official cases for those devices down to as low as $10 each. As these cases start at $30 normally, this offer is saving you at least $20 no matter which case you choose. There are even a few Galaxy Note8 cases available in this sale. Shipping is free on all orders.

This isn’t the only great offer Samsung has available right now either. It’s also giving customers a free ChromeBook 3 and microSD card with purchases of an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9+ device. So if you’re still rocking the Note8, this would be the perfect time to make the switch.

The cases available in today’s sale include:

• Galaxy S9: Silicone Cover, Gray for $9.99 (was $30)

These awesome retro game cabinets are available at a $101 discount when you pre-order

Got a quarter?

What was your game of choice as a kid? The one you pumped all your change into? The one where you actually had to travel to it just to play, instead of simply turning on your TV? Play it again and forever with one of the Arcade 1Up gaming machines. Each one has a selection of classic arcade games and an outer decor with logos and art. Pick the one with your favorite game or buy them all and laugh maniacally when you realize you don’t have to pump quarters in to keep playing.

Pre-orders start now but the cabinets don’t release until September 25. Arcade 1Up plans to release five cabinets total. If you want to buy one, you’ll want to be looking at Walmart. There you can find four of five currently available for pre-order at $299. GameStop is selling the cabinets, too, but for $399.99.

• Street Fighter cabinet: Street Fighter II Champion Edition, Street Fighter II Turbo, and Street Fighter II The New Challengers (Walmart/GameStop)

• Centipede cabinet: Centipede, Crystal Castles, Missile Command, and Atari Millipede (Walmart/GameStop)

• Asteroids cabinet: Asteroids, Tempest, Major Havoc, and Lunar Lander (Walmart/GameStop.

• Rampage cabinet: Rampage, Gauntlet, Joust, and Defender (Walmart/GameStop)

That last one is my personal favorite because it has the game I spent most of my time playing – Joust. Love that game. Heck, if I ever find my way to an arcade bar these days it’s the game I still play the most. Stupid pterodactyls.

Each cabinet has a 17-inch LCD screen, licensed artwork, and controls for multiplayer. These aren’t exactly full-sized arcade cabinets, coming in at 45.8 x 23 x 19 inches and weighing 63 pounds. While much larger than novelty cabinets we’ve seen before, you’ll probably still want to play these in a sitting position.

Dashlane 6 now available with VPN, credit monitoring, and more

All the new goodies will set you back $9.99/month.

Password managers are essential tools in mid-2018, and one of the most popular — Dashlane — is now getting its big version 6 update. You’ll still be able to generate and store secure passwords with Dashlane 6 like you’ve done before, but instead of focusing solely on passwords, you’ll now have access to a heap of tools to keep your digital presence as safe and secure as can be.

Upon opening Dashlane 6, you’ll see the all-new Identity Dashboard. Here, users can view their Password Health Score with a breakdown of what’s affecting it, Dark Web monitoring data, security alerts, and more.

Dashlane 6 also brings real-time credit monitoring, up to $1 million in coverage for identity theft insurance, and a full-fledged VPN to keep your online activity secret when using a public Wi-Fi network.

If you’re interested in checking this out for yourself, Dashlane 6 still has a free plan that lets you store up to 50 passwords and use Dashlane on one device. You can then upgrade to Premium or Premium Plus for $4.99/month or $9.99/month, respectively. No matter which of the paid plans you choose, each one is billed annually.

This pricing makes Dashlane one of the more expensive options compared to LastPass and 1Password, but considering all of the new features beyond password management that you now get, it sounds well worth the cost.

Do you think you’ll sign up for Dashlane 6?

How strong is Gorilla Glass 6? We sat down with Corning to talk about the future of phones

Corning is sitting behind the curtain, designing the glass that keeps our phones alive.

Corning recently unveiled its next-generation Gorilla Glass. It’s promised to be stronger than ever and designed to balance the effects of drops from heights and numerous drops to address what we need most— phones that won’t shatter when they slip out of our hands.

I spoke with Scott Forester Division Vice President of Marketing and Innovation Products at Corning about Gorilla Glass 6 and the future of glass technology.

Corning first looked at what Gorilla Glass 5 has accomplished and thought about the biggest issue with glass on phones. Though Gorilla Glass 5 out-performs from higher drops, it was counter-productive to increase the height success rate when the deeper issue lies in how often we drop our phones, not at what height we drop them from.

With our previous generation, Gorilla Glass 5, we were showing drop survivability up to 1.6 meters, so basically selfie height and 80 percent of the time in our testing the devices would survive on to rough surfaces like concrete or asphalt. With Gorilla Glass 6, we were able to raise that height even higher, but you would get kind of diminishing returns because not all of us are basketball players dropping phones from way up there.

So we actually started doing consumer surveys. What we found when we did a global survey is that most people drop their phone on average about seven times a year — and about half the time they’re dropping it from one meter high.

So with Gorilla Glass 6, we wanted our teams to look at how we could address this particular problem — which we’ve all encountered, which is dropping our phones multiple times or repetitive times. With Gorilla Glass 6, in our testing, we’ve shown it passing or surviving 1-meter drops, on average, 15 times. Compared to Gorilla Glass 5, our 1-meter performance is about 2x better. Most competitive glasses would actually fail the first time you drop it on a rough surface from 1 meter. So we feel like we’ve, again, kind of raised the performance of the glass, and specifically addressed the customer issue that we hear, which is drop performance in our phones.

So, since Gorilla Glass 6 is better from less heights, but more often, does that mean it no longer meets the original standard of Gorilla Glass 5’s 1.6-meter drop performance? No. It has both! It still provides the same success rate from 1.6 meters (actually a bit higher), but now it also, has a higher success rate from just 1-meter.

Gorilla Glass 6 actually raises the performance of drops from heights better than Gorilla Glass 5. In Addition to that, it gives you the continuous drops, as well. So you get the benefit on both sides of those attributes.

I know what you’re all thinking. “So, why does my phone screen crack if Gorilla Glass is so great?” You’re not the only one who worries about that. Forester’s own kids ask him the same question.

Those are the questions we all face, right? I mean, my kids ask the same questions.

If you were to bend the glass rod you would create this tensile stress on the surface of the glass. It’s that tension that’s going to basically separate the glass and propagate the cracks, and then eventually break. So what we do with Gorilla is, we actually put a counterforce in there called compressive stress. It’s actually keeping the surface under compression and acts like an armor that’s fighting against that tension you get when you drop your phone. With Gorilla Glass 6, we were actually able to put 40 percent more compressors stress into the glass surface.

Corning also takes into consideration a wide variety of different phone features, like glass thickness, whether the glass is raised above the phone significantly, how stiff is a device, what’s underneath the glass (like screws or components that could create a localized bending event), and more. There are innumerable possibilities to consider when creating real-world scenarios for drop events.

There are always other real-world aspects that play into drop performance. It gets really complex, and as a user, it can be kind of frustrating.

All those factors play into drop performance. In fact, if you have two phones that had exactly the same glass, exactly the same thickness, but they were designed by two different engineers with different displays or structures underneath, they performed differently. That has less to do with the glass. It just has to do with the way the phone is designed.

Hopefully it kind of gives you a broader perspective of the different variables that are in play versus it just being when you drop your phone on the asphalt outside.

Corning works very hard, and for a very long time to create thousands of scenarios for drop events using what they call “pucks” as the testing material (because, you know, dropping thousands of $800 phones would be kinda expensive).

We do thousands of drops events a year. We look at those four important elements; glass thickness, how proud the glass is (how much it is raised up from the phone), how stiff the entire phone is, and whether it’s a micro or localized stiffness. Then, we create a puck that we think is in the envelope — that’s kind of on the average. Then we use that puck to evaluate all of our materials.

One final thing Forester mentioned to me was how glass is positioned to be an ideal material for the future. The reason? It’s non-conductive, which is something metal can never be. Glass can always be made stronger.

What’s interesting is, as glass has gotten more durable and able to withstand these drops, you’re actually starting to see it reach a threshold where people are willing to remove the material on the back of the phone. Instead of it being metal or plastic, they’ll put glass. Designers are starting to feel that glass is significantly better than previous generations. It’s really broken – no pun intended – the perception of what glass can do and now.

Glass is kind of on the right side of the technology curve, from a material set. 5G has these microcells — small wavelength antennas, which can interfere with things like rain and environmental conditions, and they’re hypersensitive to metal. So the less metal you can put on your phone, the more flexibility you’re going to have to adopt things like 5G. Glass is a really unique material set when you begin to add all those components features you don’t think about every day.

Glass, it sounds like, is the future of phones and Gorilla Glass has proven its mettle at being the strongest you can put on a mobile device.

Do you think the next generation of Gorilla Glass is going to keep your phone screen from cracking as often? Has your phone avoided the dreaded cracked screen so far?

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 rumors: Release date, specs, price, and features!

Here’s everything we know about the Galaxy Note 9!

Now more than ever, Samsung’s Galaxy S+ phones are becoming eerily similar to the Note series. The Note used to be Samsung’s way of touting all of the latest and greatest tech it had to offer, and while this is still the case, the same can be said for this year’s Galaxy S9+.

Samsung needs more than just the S Pen to make the Note 9 stand out from its own phones and the rest of the competition, and luckily, all signs are pointing to something exciting for this year’s release. Here’s what we know so far!

July 26, 2018 — Fortnite for Android will reportedly be exclusive to the Note 9 for 30 days and come with V-Buck pre-order bonuses

There’s a lot of hype surrounding the Note 9, but there’s even more excitement for the phenomenon that is Fortnite. We’ve been anxiously waiting for more info about the game’s Android release since Epic confirmed it last May, and now a report from 9to5Google is here to shed a lot more light on the matter.

Fortnite will reportedly come to Android first as an exclusive for the Galaxy Note 9. It’ll stay that way for 30 days, and after that, be released for other compatible Android handsets. If the Note 9 is expected to launch at some point in late August, that’d put Fortnite’s general Android availability at some point in late September.

Along with this, it’s also said that an optional pre-order bonus for the Note 9 will be $100 to $150 worth of V-Bucks (the in-game currency for Fortnite). If you don’t care about that, you can choose to get wireless AKG headphones instead.

July 24, 2018 — A leaked image shows off the Note 9 in three colors

Another day, another leak from Evan Blass. Last week, we saw the front and back of the blue Galaxy Note 9, but with today’s leaked image we see the phone in three colors — black, blue, and brown.

It looks like the blue Note 9 will be the only model with the yellow S Pen teased in Samsung’s official event invite. The other two will have color-matched S Pens, all of which look fantastic.

What will the Galaxy Note 9 look like?

Quick answer — a lot like the Note 8.

We’ve seen one collection of renders for the Note 9 so far (pictured above), and save for the fingerprint sensor being moved below the rear camera sensor, the phone’s shaping up to be nearly identical to last year’s model.

As such, we can expect a large Infinity Display with slim bezels, an all-glass back, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Samsung’s event teaser suggests that we’ll get at least one bright yellow color option, but I’m still crossing my fingers the Galaxy S9’s Burgundy Red gets a wide release on the Note 9 🤞.

What specs can we look forward to?

Samsung’s Galaxy Note phones are always home to some of the best specs around, and the Note 9 shouldn’t be any different.

Based on the current rumor mill and what we’ve seen from other 2018 flagships, here’s what we think we’ll see this year.

What’s going on with the S Pen?

The S Pen has always been one of the biggest draws to the Galaxy Note phones, and this year with the Note 9, we’re expecting Samsung to give the accessory one of the biggest updates we’ve seen in years.

One of the biggest changes this time around is that the Note 9 S Pen is rumored to come with Bluetooth. On one hand, this means the S Pen will need to have a battery and be charged somehow. Although we can’t confirm this, it’s likely Samsung will design a system that allows the S Pen to charge up while it’s inside the Note 9.

On a more exciting note, Bluetooth could allow for the S Pen to be useful even when it’s not in direct contact with the Note 9. Its button could act as a camera shutter, slide-show clicker, give you better alerts when it’s away from your phone, and more.

There have also been hints at some sort of gaming-specific features, but it’s unclear how exactly these will pan out.

When will the Galaxy Note 9 be released?

The Galaxy Note 9 will be announced on August 9, 2018, at an Unpacked event in New York City.

We can expect retail availability to come in a 1-2 week time frame after the announcement, if any previous launches are any indication.

How much will the Galaxy Note 9 cost?

Pricing for the Note series has steadily been going up each year, as has the majority of the smartphone industry.

The Galaxy Note 8 costs $950 unlocked, and I’d expect the Note 9 to cost either the same or slightly more. Apple proved with the iPhone X that people aren’t afraid to shell out $1000+ for a new smartphone, and I don’t consider it to be out of the question for Samsung to follow suit with the Note 9 – especially if it adopts newer technologies like an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Dashlane 6 Launches With New Online Security Enhancements Including ‘Identity Dashboard’ and VPN

Dashlane today announced the release of Dashlane 6, which the company describes as an “all-in-one solution for online risk prevention,” beefing up the password manager’s suite of features with a collection of online privacy and security additions.

The first new feature introduced is an “Identity Dashboard,” which provides each user with a complete picture of their online security, as well as steps toward how they can improve it. The dashboard includes features like Dark Web Monitoring, credit score monitoring, identity restoration support, and Identity Theft Insurance so that users are “in complete control of their digital identities.”

Of course, Dashlane still provides in-depth password management tools, and the new update includes an “enhanced” password health section with real-time analysis of how secure each password is. The company says that this helps users better understand which of their accounts are really secure and which could use a little more attention, and if they want to update their passwords Dashlane provides tools to easily randomize and strengthen each one.

“Managing digital identity has become too complex for almost everyone,” says Emmanuel Schalit, CEO of Dashlane.

“Massive breaches and data abuses—like the ones at Facebook, Equifax, and Exactis—affect us all, and while protecting accounts with unique and complex passwords is a critical step, it is no longer enough. People must be able to easily manage and monitor all aspects of their digital footprint, whether it’s monitoring credit reports for fraudulent activity or personal information for sale on the dark web. That’s why we created Dashlane 6—to solve that very problem.”

Dashlane 6 also has 1GB of storage across devices for Premium and Premium Plus users, secure sharing with friends and family members, and an included VPN for Wi-Fi protection. The VPN is available for Premium and Premium Plus users as well, and the company says it can be operated on an unlimited number of devices with unlimited data use.

Dashlane has three plan tiers: free, Premium at $4.99/month, and a new Premium Plus option at $9.99/month (both billed annually). Premium includes unlimited passwords (the free tier has only 50) on unlimited devices, Dark Web Monitoring, the secure VPN, and secure file storage. Premium Plus adds these features plus the new credit monitoring, identity restoration support, and Identity Theft Insurance coverage.

Those interested can download Dashlane 6 for macOS and iOS today.

Apple Looking Into Limited Reports of T2-Related Kernel Panics on New MacBook Pro and iMac Pro

As highlighted by Digital Trends and VentureBeat, a small number of users have turned to the Apple Support Communities to report incidents of kernel panicking on the new MacBook Pro, possibly linked to Apple’s T2 chip. The issue has also been highlighted by some of our own readers in the MacRumors forums.

Image Credit: iFixit
Many of the crash logs shared by users mention bridgeOS, which is the device firmware on the logic board that controls many functions, including the T2, fueling speculation that the chip is the root cause of the problem.

Similar reports of kernel panicking began last year with the iMac Pro, which is also equipped with the T2, so this does seem to be a potential issue with the chip, or the bridgeOS firmware that manages it, rather than an entirely new MacBook Pro controversy like the since-fixed excessive throttling.

Apple’s custom T2 chip integrates several previously separate components, including the system management controller, image signal processor, audio controller, and SSD controller. It also features a Secure Enclave coprocessor for secure boot, encrypted storage, and authenticating Touch ID.

Apple support representatives appear to have provided a wide variety of solutions, ranging from disabling FileVault to turning off Power Nap, but none of the advice customers received suggests there is a permanent fix.

MacRumors reached out to Apple, which told us that this is not a widespread issue, nor one that it has received any direct reports about. Nevertheless, Apple said it has relevant teams looking into the matter and, unsurprisingly, is always aiming to improve the stability and reliability of its products.

In general, Apple recommends that customers update their MacBook Pros with the macOS High Sierra Supplemental Update released earlier this week, which contains reliability and stability improvements, including a bug fix that addresses excessive thermal throttling with the latest MacBook Pro models.

According to at least one user, the Supplemental Update has not resolved the kernel panicking. Hopefully, whatever is causing the issue can be identified and promptly fixed in a future software update.
