There were three big mysteries surrounding the holiday smartphone market: the iPhone 4S, the first Nokia Windows Phone(s), and Google’s first Android Ice Cream Sandwich phone. Two days ago, we learned about the iPhone, and today we get our first glimpse at Google and Samsung’s upcoming Android 4.0 phone: the Nexus Prime…or the Droid Prime, or maybe the Galaxy Nexus. We don’t really know the name of it, but BGR has picked up some supposed specs on the phone that Samsung and Google will unveil at CTIA in San Diego this Tuesday. 

  • Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
  • 9mm thin
  • 4.65-inch 1280 x 720-pixel Super AMOLED HD with curved glass
  • TI OMAP 4460 dual-core Cortex A9 processor clocked at 1.2GHz

  • 32GB of built-in storage
  • 5-megapixel camera on the back, 1.3-megapixel in the front

If true, this could be the phone to have. The curved glass display sounds cool, but the large size and big resolution of the screen are more impressive. In addition, having 32GB of internal storage and NFC (for Google Wallet) would be very cool and if it’s a Nexus, it will definitely be a pure Android experience phone, so it won’t have a bunch of custom UI tacked on. This phone may be a Verizon exclusive in the U.S., but we don’t yet know that for sure.

Galaxy Watch 8 Classic could see the return of one of the best Samsung smartwatches
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic on a person's wrist.

Samsung offers some of the best smartwatches and has consistently offered great wearables for Android users, especially following the jump back to Wear OS in 2021. The next generation of Samsung Galaxy Watch could see the reintroduction of one of our favorite models, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic.

We’ve always liked the Classic: the groundwork for this watch was laid in 2015, when the Gear S2 Classic landed with a round display and rotating bezel, but it was missing from the Galaxy Watch 7 options. Now, thanks to a listing on Bluetooth SIG, we have pretty solid confirmation that the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic will be reborn.

According to Android Authority, this means that after this date, LG smartphones will no longer receive official Android updates or have access to LG's software management tools.

The shutdown will affect the Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) upgrade service, the Update Center app service, and the LG Bridge PC software. These services allowed users to manage their devices, backup data, and install updates via a computer. All these services will cease functioning at midnight Korea time (GMT +9) on June 30.

I’ve used every major budgeting app, and these are my favorites for financial independence
My favorite budgeting apps.

The journey to financial independence (FI) is paved with mindful spending, diligent saving, and strategic investing. And in today's digital age, a robust budgeting app is a powerful ally in this quest. Over the years, I've navigated the interfaces, crunched the numbers, and tested the features of nearly every major budgeting app out there, all in pursuit of optimizing my own FI journey. And yes, at times, it has been a struggle. While each platform offers its own unique strengths, a few have consistently risen to the top as invaluable tools for those striving for financial freedom.

It's important to understand that the "best" app is subjective and depends heavily on individual needs and preferences. However, based on my extensive experience, certain apps stand out for their comprehensive features, user-friendliness, and ability to empower users to take control of their finances with the specific goal of FI in mind.
