LG G8 ThinQ gets leaked in new renders

LG plans to release its newest flagship, the G8 ThinQ, at MWC 2019. And while LG has somewhat been able to keep the new device under wraps, Evan Blass got his hands on rumored leaked renders of the phone. Its rear looks are similar to the V30. This render debunks the rumour that we're getting a triple camera system this time around. Instead, we're still getting a dual camera setup. The front is similar to the G7 ThinQ but the camera has been relocated to the left to make space for the only confirmed feature: the ToF front camera. It is said to offer better, more secure facial biometrics.

Port layout seems to be the same. You get the volume controls and an extra button on the left (the latter could be a Google Assistant button); the power button and SIM tray on the right; and speaker, USB-C port, and headphone jack at the bottom. The LG G8 ThinQ is expected to get 128GB storage. It'll be launched on February 24.

Samsung wants to set you up on a date using its ref

Is Tinder, Bumble, or your dating app of choice just not doing it for you anymore? Have you considered "Refrigerdating?" Yes, that is the app's name. And yes, it is what you think it is. Samsung's way to promote its Family Hub Refrigerator is by aiming for your heart through your bellies (good or bad choices be damned). The ref has an ingredient-tracking camera that can double check if you run out of certain items, and you can use that camera to take photos of your ref's content. You can access these photos and the web-based app through its built-in touchscreen.  From there you can start swiping left and right on potential dates. You don't need to have this Samsung ref to use the app. You can upload a photo of your own refrigerator, and watch the sparks fly. Or at least, that's the hope. Happy swiping!

Review: Dyson Hot+Cool purifying fan and heater

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Dyson’s latest Pure Hot+Cool purifying heater and fan is an advanced air purifier, a powerful cooling fan and a smart area heater that has the power to purify the air in an entire room. The company has engineered a solution that can sense real time air quality and fills the room with purified air.

Most products that profess to do two things simultaneously usually fall short in both tasks. Dyson’s Pure Hot+Cool is a product that professes to do three things if you consider that it is a high-tech fan, heater and air purifier.

Dyson has already built a reputation for re-inventing the vacuum cleaner market and the company has taken a lot of its engineering expertise to other household appliances. They’ve designed some of the smartest and best fans which also double as heaters thanks to their Hot+Cool technology.

Warner Bros. confirms 'Aquaman 2'

So, it's been confirmed. Aquaman 2 is happening. David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, who worked with Aquaman director James Wan on The Conjuring 2, and co-wrote the original film will be writing this movie. Wan is said to be in talks to work on the sequel alongside Peter Safran, but it isn't clear yet if Wan will be directing the film. If the name seems familiar, the two are also working on the horror-themed spin-off of Aquaman called "The Trench."
