LG's Q Stylus phone is a budget Galaxy Note rival

If you're looking for a stylus-equipped smartphone without spending Galaxy Note 8 cash, LG has an answer with the Q Stylus. As the name suggests, it's equipped with a pen for note-taking, sketching, and touching up images and videos. It has a number of other premium features as well -- you get a metal body with a 6.2-inch FHD+ display, a 16-megapixel rear(max)/8-megapixel front cameras with phase-detect autofocus and the same DTS:X 7.1 channel 3D surround audio found on the V and G series phones.

The processor is an unnamed 8-core model -- hence the "mid-range" designation -- but you do get up to 4GB of RAM, depending on the model (more on that in a second). It also comes with USB Type-C fast charging, IP68 water and dust protection and a rear fingerprint sensor.

Confusingly, there are a several models in the Q Stylus lineup, the regular Q Stylus, the Q Stylus+ and the Q Stylus α. (Those latter characters are supposed to be in superscript, a rather clueless decision from LG's marketing department.) The Q+ gets 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage via microSD and a 16-megapixel camera, while the other models get 3GB, 32GB via microSD and 13-megapixel front cameras, respectively.

The Q Stylus is coming to North America and Asia later this month in Aurora Black (Q, Q+), Moroccan Blue (Q, Q+, Qα) and Lavender Violet (Q+). It will be introduced elsewhere afterwards, but it's not clear which models are coming where, and there's no word yet on pricing.

The best air conditioner

When readers choose to buy Wirecutter's independently chosen editorial picks, it may earn affiliate commissions that support its work. Read the full article here . After six summers of researching, testing, and recommending window air conditioners, we've learned that quiet and affordable ACs make most people the happiest—and we think the LG LW8016ER will fit the bill in most rooms. This 8,000 Btu unit cools as efficiently and effectively as any model with an equal Btu rating, and runs at a lower volume and deeper pitch than others at this price. Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...

Sprint will give free data to Snapdragon PCs

Image
It's official. Sprint is definitely giving away free unlimited LTE data through 2018 to those who use laptops packing Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor. We first learned of this last month , and the announcement today clarifies which devices qualify. If you own or buy the HP Envy X2 , ASUS NovaGo or Lenovo Miix 630 , you'll be able to get free unlimited data if you sign up for AutoPay with the carrier. This won't cover devices using the new Snapdragon 850 chipset , although that's not available in an actual computer yet, and we'll possibly hear more later this year. Always-available data connectivity is perhaps the biggest selling point of Windows on Snapdragon devices, which promise gigabit LTE speeds wherever you are. While it would be nice to see other carriers offer similar deals, just to have an alternative option, this offer makes these...

ASUS VivoWatch BP keeps track of your blood pressure and location

Image
ASUS may well have pulled out of the Android smartwatch market after its ZenWatch 3 , but it's actually not quite done yet with wearables. At Computex, the company made a little surprise by unveiling the VivoWatch BP, which is a follow-up to the original low-power VivoWatch from three years ago. We're looking at a handful of new features and improvements here, with the main highlight being the built-in blood pressure monitor -- a rare feature in the smartwatch category. The only other recent direct competitor is the Omron HeartGuide , which is also due to lau nch later this year. The VivoWatch BP won't be winning praises for its appearance. While the previously monochromatic high-reflective display has now gained some colors, it's also gained a much thicker bezel to accommodate extra sensors on the front. The screen is positioned i...
