DEAL: Unlocked Galaxy S6 is Just $399 at eBay, Verizon S6 Edge 128GB is $599

To end the day, we’ve got what may be best ever pricing on the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge over at eBay. If you are at all interested in the regular Galaxy S6, you can grab an unlocked T-Mobile version for just $399. If you are on Verizon and want the Galaxy S6 Edge, you can get the mega-128GB version for just $599.

The T-Mobile Galaxy S6 is listed as unlocked, so that means it’ll work on any GSM carrier, including AT&T. And in case you were worried, yes, the T-Mobile S6 supports all of AT&T’s bands, including LTE band 17. We’re now in Moto X Pure territory on the S6 – any takers?

As for the Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge, you are looking at a $300 discount at $599. The white 128GB model is currently listed at $899 from Verizon. The listing here also claims that this device is unlocked, but all Verizon phones are technically unlocked, they just don’t support many LTE bands. If I were buying this, I’d probably only use it on Verizon.

Both deals include free shipping.

Night Light Feature for Google Play Books Makes Nighttime Reading Easier on the Eyes

Google Play Books, Mountain View’s dedicated book and magazine reading app, is receiving an update via Google Play that brings a new feature called Night Light. With Night Light, Play Books will automatically adjust the amount of blue light given off from the display, which can be disruptive to human eyes at nighttime. When the app senses sunlight getting low around you, the color changes to an amber hue, which will be easier on your eyes for nighttime book consuming. Yum yum.

As explained by the good folks at Google, “Night Light automatically adapts to the amount of natural sunlight outside based on the time of day, giving you just the right temperature and brightness. The color adjustment is more comfortable on your eyes and greatly improves low-light night reading.” In the header image above, you can see exactly what to expect from when you toggle this feature on.

To turn it on, once you have updated the app, you will see a pop up message asking you to switch on this automatic feature for whenever you are reading. Given it is automatic, it’s not something you have to toggle on and off again.

The update is rolling out to Google Play now.

NVIDIA Gives “Sneak Peek” of Android 6.0 on SHIELD Tablet K1, Update Arriving This Month

NVIDIA plans to update its newest tablet, the SHIELD Tablet K1, to Android 6.0 Marshmallow this month. To celebrate that bit of news, they posted a “sneak peek” video today of the update running on that very tablet, which we have posted above.

In the update, along with all of the goodies Google added to Marshmallow (like Doze, Now on Tap, app permission controls, SD card as internal storage, etc.), NVIDIA is updating the camera app to better take advantage of the tablet’s processing power and loading up the latest Google Now Launcher.

As a recap, the Tablet K1 is the exact same tablet as the original SHIELD Tablet, only NVIDIA has dropped the price point to $199 by cutting out all accessories, including the charger and stylus.

We’ll let you know when the update begins rolling out.

Be a Jedi in Google’s Latest Chrome Experiment, Lightsaber Escape

In the latest Built for Chrome experiment, appropriately titled Lightsaber Escape, you can be a Jedi warrior, attempting to escape an Imperial battleship while fighting Stormtroopers. For gameplay, your phone acts as a lightsaber controller, with syncing taking place between the Chrome app on your phone, and the Chrome browser on your desktop computer.

Once calibrated, you are taught the basics of defending yourself from blasters, as well as deflecting shots back towards your enemies. After you pass a few waves of Stormtroopers, you come across a “boss” Stormtrooper. I have yet to beat him as the controls tend to get a little out of sync by the time I reach that part. However, you can pause and take a moment to recalibrate your device, which should help.

To get started, click the link below and have a bit of fun.

Pushbullet Gets Group Texting From Desktop, Drive Changing in Remote Files

An update to Pushbullet is rolling out today that will give you increased access to files when attempting to access them remotely, along with the ability to group text from your desktop computer.

After receiving an update to the Android Pushbullet app (the update should be live for all), Pushbullet’s Chrome extension, website, and Windows desktop app will let you reply to group text messages. Their apps for Safari, Firefox, and Opera should be available soon. This has apparently been a popular request, so get excited, or something.

In the last update, Pushbullet introduced remote files access from anywhere in the world, but they seem to have left that access locked to a single drive. Power users, the type of people who use this feature in Pushbullet, wanted more, including access to other drives. Today’s update allows you to do just that. Of course, this remains a Windows-only feature at this time.

Enjoy.

Tap & Pay With Android Pay on Your Nexus and Google Will Give You a $20 Best Buy Card

To celebrate the holiday season and Nexus devices and Android Pay and free things, Google has decided to hand out $20 Best Buy e-gift cards to anyone who uses their Nexus device and Android Pay to buy something. From today through December 31, you are eligible for the free e-gift card, as long as supplies last.

In order to participate, you need to pay for something using Android Pay on your Nexus, which could be a Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7, Nexus 9, Nexus 5X, or Nexus 6P. Once you have paid for an item at a participating retailer, Google will send the e-gift card to your Android Pay app for use (make sure to keep it installed). It could take a few days (or up to January 31) for it to show, but you don’t have to do anything (don’t email Google asking for it!) else to receive it.

Now, run to a Chevron and buy that pack of gum.

Project Fi Adds Data-Only Device Support, Same $10/GB Pricing

Project Fi, Google’s own cellular service that runs on T-Mobile and Sprint’s LTE networks, announced data-only support for tablets today. Much like you see from the larger carriers, data-only SIMs provide mobile network connection for tablet devices, and Google is now ready to offer this service to customers.

Exactly like Fi’s existing smartphone pricing structure, you only pay for what you use. Data is priced at $10/GB, with each GB subsequently used costing another $10. With no contracts or agreements, you are free to cancel or pause your service at anytime, no strings attached.

Below is the list of verified compatible devices for Project Fi. Google notes that other tablets not listed here may also work. The key ingredient for a device working on Project Fi is compatibility on T-Mobile’s LTE network.

Verified Compatible Tablets

Nexus 7 – K009 (US LTE)
Nexus 9 – 0P82300 (US LTE)
iPad Air 2 – Model A1567
iPad mini 4 – Model A1550
Galaxy Tab S – Model SM-T807V

If you are already on Project Fi, you can order a data-only SIM straight from your online account page. However, if you don’t see this option yet, don’t worry, as Google states that they are gradually rolling this out to all users and it may take a few days to hit your account.
