It’s not about the features you see — it’s about the ones you don’t.

On Monday, AndroidHeadlines published what it claims is the first official rendering of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. Unlike the Galaxy Tab S3, this tablet has no home button. It also features a larger display and is missing the Samsung logo across the top bezel.

This post is part of Mashable’s You’re Old Week. Break through the haze of nostalgia with us and see what holds up, what disappoints, and what got better with time.

It feels like ages ago, but there was a time when some phones carried a certain cachet.

Now with the plethora of barely indistinguishable iPhones and Android devices, there isn’t much novelty in phones anymore — aside from the recent spate of Nokia throwbacks and that weird curved screen phase.

But during the 2000’s, phones like the Sidekick were essentially a fashion accessory, akin to rocking a nice pair of sneakers or a swish new bag, and sneakily embedded into popular hip-hop videos of that era. Read more…

Remember how we all thought of slipping on a banana peel as classic yet cartoonish comedic tool? Unfortunately for this woman, it became an actual thing.

Twitter user Samantha shared a video of her friend having a seemingly angry phone call on her banana phone which ends in the worst way possible.

A camera grip for your phone is on sale for $10 off

TwitterFacebook

Smartphone cameras are great, but let’s address the elephant in the room: They’re shaped like phones, not cameras, so when you try to take a picture (especially one-handed) you’re often twisting your wrist into an unnatural, unhealthy position. And that’s just wrong.

That’s where the ShutterGrip Smartphone Camera Controller comes in. By snapping easily onto your phone, it provides a comfy no-slip grip that’ll make the next shot you want to snap smoother, more precise, and easier on your joints. Plus, it comes with a lanyard (to prevent drops) and a tripod screw, turning your camera phone into a bonafide camera. Plus it comes with a wireless shutter button, so if you want to use it as a camera remote to take pictures of yourself from afar, there’s nothing stopping you. Read more…
