Galaxy S8 specs vs. Google Pixel, LG G6, iPhone 7 and OnePlus 3T

Samsung finally unveiled the Galaxy S8 and larger Galaxy S8 Plus counterpart this morning in New York, after months of anticipation and a continuous flow of leaks. The phone features its own digital assistant, Bixby, Android 7.0 Nougat and is souped up to handle ultra-fast, 1Gb data speeds.
Its specs are also on par with -- if not better than -- a handful of the most popular flagships today, including Android heavyweights the Google Pixel and the LG G6, Apple's massively popular iPhone 7 and the sleeper hit OnePlus 3T. In terms of hardware, the Galaxy S8 has the most recent Snapdragon 835 chipset, a water-resistant construction that's rated IP68 and a super sharp 2,960x1,440-pixel resolution.

You can now book fitness classes on Google

Google just released its latest service to the world: a website that could help you get fit all while filling empty fitness studios around the world.   Reserve with Google is a new feature that lets you see and book fitness classes in the U.S.  It was previously only available in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.  The site pulls together Google Maps and Google Search and puts them into a new  Reserve with Google  website (on desktop and mobile).  Think Google Flights ( google.com/flights ) except this is for transforming your body rather than transporting it.  You can search for fitness studios based on location and style. Google will also recommend ones to you. Here's how it works on mobile:  1. Go to  google.com/maps/reserve . Choose your date and location. You can also search for types of classes.

"Samsung poured resources into Synaptics’ fledgling technology last year but the results were frustrating," an informed source is quoted as saying. "W...
