Apple Watch US demand tumbles to distressing levels in June
Apple-Watch
Already reported as somewhat underwhelming back in May, the American sales of the “iWatch” have further dropped into serious headache-inducing territory. Very few market analysts or industry pundits deem the Apple Watch a blockbuster, but probably Slice Intelligence’s data paints Cupertino’s rookie wearable effort the bleakest picture yet. Based on e-receipts across the US, the...

The Galaxy V Plus is Samsung’s latest ultra low-end smartphone
galaxy-v-plus
The Galaxy V Plus features a miserable 2GB of internal storage and other weak specs.  Samsung might not be making as many smartphones this year as it has in the years past, but the Korean manufacturer still seems unable to resist launching phones that make no sense from a consumer or business standpoint.

Samsung Galaxy J1
Clearly superior to their base J1 forerunner, the two upcoming Androids remain decidedly entry-level affairs.

Samsung Z1
The world’s second (not third) Tizen smartphone may not be as modest as previously anticipated, though it will clearly fall short of high-end standards.
