AT&T is giving tablets away. Starting on August 8, the carrier will throw in a LG G Pad 7.0 tablet for just $1 when you buy a LG G3, G Flex, or G2 smartphone. AT&T will also offer the 7-inch G Pad on its own for a cheap, monthly installment.

If you don’t want to plunk down a hefty sum on a new LG smartphone, you can simply pay $12.50 a month for the tablet. AT&T also gives you the option to pay $150 upfront with a two-year contract. Of course, data costs are separate. Whichever option you choose, it’s not a bad deal for the 7-inch tablet.

We recently reviewed both the LG G Pad 7.0 and the G Pad 10.1. After much testing, we found that the two new G Pads offer decent performance for mid-range tablets at a low price. The G Pad 7.0 is particularly nice for reading ebooks, email, or articles online.

Even though the screen is small and the resolution isn’t super high, you can stream videos on it in a pinch. LG also gave the small G Pad dual window mode, which lets you have two apps open at he same time. It’s a lightweight, sturdy little tablet that will satisfy bookworms and those who love small, portable tablets.

If you’ve thought about buying the LG G3 (we highly recommend it), you might as well throw the 7-inch G Pad in for good measure. For those of you who are considering the other two LG smartphones AT&T included in this promotion, the G2 also comes highly recommended as a midrange phone and the G Flex is decent, but gimmicky.

Upcoming OnePlus Watch 3 might have a rotating crown
Third part watch face on OnePlus Watch 2r.

After a less-than-exciting launch with the OnePlus Watch 2, it's time for a change — and hopefully, a wearable that more closely matches modern devices. We expect the OnePlus Watch 3 to release on January 7, but now new details suggest it might come with a rotating crown.

This update is a big win for OnePlus Watch fans. The crown has been a long-requested feature that will make it easier to navigate through the interface, and improved sensors give access to ECGs and other features that were missing in the previous generation, according to Yogesh Brar.

Google proposes big changes for the future of Search and Android apps

Google’s ongoing antitrust tussle spawned a list of sweeping policy suggestions — including a proposed sale of the Chrome business — by the Department of Justice. The focus of the lawsuit centers on the Search monopoly, but it has serious ramifications for Android and the overall browser situation.

Now, Google has shared its own “remedies proposal” to the DOJ’s recommendations, which it claims are going “far beyond what the Court’s decision is actually about.”
