Weekly Recap: Next Week is Gonna be Awesome

There’s a lot in store for next week. We’ve got a solar eclipse on Monday, with Google ready to deliver Android O’s official name following that event, then it’s Samsung on Wednesday who will unveil the Galaxy Note 8. Yup, next week is going to be fun.

This week was no slouch, though. We had the Pixel 2 go through the FCC, the Essential Phone finally went up for pre-order, and we got our first good look at the LG V30. This week was solid.
