Ahead of the Samsung Galaxy S8’s launch event in March, we were able to get our hands on some exclusive hands-on footage of the unannounced phone being used.

Five powerful new charging accessories
We’re constantly adding new accessories to our online store, so it can be hard to keep up. Here are five new arrivals, all centered around improving your charging experience, no matter whether you have an iPhone, Android phone or something else entirely (Windows… Phone?). Take a look!
Best Galaxy A5 (2017) cases for the always-on display
One of the best features of this year’s Galaxy A5 is the always-on display, which brings you the time, incoming calls and messages, and other notifications. It’s super useful, and it makes your phone look pretty good too. However, it’s going to get covered up if you use a traditional wallet or flip case, removing this useful function.
Thankfully, there are special cases made with the always-on display in mind, which allow you to protect your phone’s screen from scratches without blocking the always-on display. Take a look, and tell us what you think in the comments below!
How to add aptX to your OnePlus, Xiaomi, Pixel or Nexus smartphone
Out of the box, the OnePlus 3 and many other Android smartphones don’t support the aptX codecs for streaming high-quality audio over Bluetooth. That’s because phone makers need to pay a license fee to use the technology, and for most it’s not worth the investment.
However, most phones with a Qualcomm chipset already have the hardware support they need; they just require some proprietary drivers to activate their latent aptX support. Those drivers have now been produced, and made into an easy-to-install file. Here’s how to get started.
Best LG G6 cases and covers (February 2017)
The LG G6 will be officially announced on February 26th, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona — but case makers already know exactly what to expect. That means we already have dozens of LG G6 cases and covers available for pre-order, including some absolute crackers. Here are five of our favourites.
