LG G Pad X 10.1 Features and Specs | AT&T

AT&T announced the LG G Pad X 10.1, which appears to be a rebranded LG G Pad 2. What’s different about the G Pad X is that it will include a lot of pre-installed AT&T software and apps, including the DirecTV Everywhere app.

The inclusion of the app isn’t surprising now that DirecTV is part of AT&T, and it’s most likely a sign that the app will appear on every AT&T device moving forward. With the DirecTV Everywhere app, customers can watch live TV, see movies and shows on demand, view and set DVR recordings, control the TV, and more.

The specs include a 10.1-inch LCD screen with a 1080p (1920 x 1200 pixel) resolution. It’s powered by a 2.26GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, and the tablet includes 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, and a MicroSD slot for up to an additional 128GB of storage. A 7,400mAh battery keeps it running throughout the day, and it comes with 4G LTE connectivity and Android 5.1.1.

The camera specs weren’t mentioned in the press release, but we presume the cameras will be the same as those on the G Pad 2, which has a 5-megapixel at the rear and 2-megapixel shooter on the front.

Other software benefits include QPair, which syncs the tablet with Android phones so that you can answer phone calls and read or respond to text messages from the tablet. Additionally, the included Reader Mode reduces eye strain by dampening the screen intensity. Lastly, the G Pad X offers Dual Window mode, which allows you to display two compatible apps side-by-side for power multitasking.

The G Pad X 10.1 will be available at AT&T online starting September 4, and in stores nationwide on September 11. Brilliant Bronze is the only color option, and it will cost $17.50 per month for 20 months — which amounts to $350 — or $250 with a two-year contract. Customers can add the tablet to a new or existing Mobile Share Value Plan for an extra $10 per month.

The OnePlus 13 is coming on January 7 — along with a surprise

It's official: the OnePlus 13 will launch on January 7, 2025. Preempting the anticipated event by several weeks, OnePlus has officially confirmed the date we’ll see its next major smartphone release outside of China. Additionally, it has revealed some key features and news of a surprise new launch to go along with the phone.

OnePlus will release the OnePlus 13 in three different colors — Black Eclipse, Arctic Dawn, and Midnight Ocean. It’s the latter that is likely to be the model to have, as it is wrapped in a material called micro-fiber vegan leather, which is apparently corrosion and scratch-resistant but still luxurious to the touch. For the Arctic Dawn phone, the glass will have a special coating to give it a silky-smooth finish. It’s likely these are the same colors offered in China, where the phone has already been announced, just with different names.

An OLED iPad mini is coming in 2026, says Apple insider

Although the iPad mini has continued to receive updates and support, it's fair to say it hasn't gotten the same level of love as the iPad Pro. However, that could be set to change, as the next iPad mini is expected to launch in 2026 with a new OLED display.

That's not all, though. Both the iPad Air 11-inch and 13-inch models could also receive the same upgrade in 2027 (adding weight to a previous leak). Then there's the rumored foldable iPad with an 18.8-inch display, according to a report from analysts at Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC).

Here’s how Android 16 could make managing notifications easier than ever

Moto G Play (2023) notifications

Are you tired of the constant stream of notifications on your Android phone? Google may have a solution in development as part of its Android 16 update.

Recently, Android Authority discovered a hidden page in the latest Android 15 beta, located under Settings > Notifications, that references Bundled Notifications. This suggests a stable version of Android 15 QPR2 or the upcoming Android 16 release could introduce a new feature similar to Gmail's notification grouping. This would allow similar notifications to be organized into bundles rather than displaying a long, overwhelming list of individual alerts.
