Review: The Nexus 6P is the best Nexus phone I’ve used so far

With its Nexus devices, Google has always struggled to break into the big league. Not anymore; the Nexus 6P sits right up there when one looks at this year’s flagship releases.

What to expect from Apple's September 9 iPhone event

Apple has sent out invites for a September 9 event, where it is expected to unveil new iPhones and upgrades to other devices. We asked the US-based company’s digital voice assistant, Siri, for some hot gossip on the line-up, but she wasn’t amused.

Apple wants to stop tablet business slide with new iPads. But how?
