Friday April 14th and If You Think Today's Smartphones Are a Bit Too Delicate Well, Good News!

There's now talk of a new Samsung Galaxy S8 variant featuring a bit more robust construction. According to Samsung tracking site Sam mobile, the phone has a model number and is code named "Cruiser". It's not a new idea, as Samsung sold a version of the S7 called the S7 active which featured a bigger battery, a stock protective layer, and even some C Mo (we're assuming this refers to camera capabilities). The S8 may get a similar makeover.

This is certainly an exciting development for those who need their phones to withstand the rigors of daily life. Today's smartphones are sleek and stylish, but they can be fragile and prone to damage. A more robust design would be a welcome improvement for anyone who spends a lot of time on-the-go or needs a phone that can keep up with their active lifestyle.

While there's no word yet on when the new Galaxy S8 will drop or how much it might cost, Sam mobile suggests that Samsung usually releases their active phone lineup in June, just in time for summer. So, stay tuned and we'll have to wait and see what this new variant has to offer.

It's also worth noting that Samsung is known for its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. With a focus on durability and practicality, the new Galaxy S8 could be a game-changer for anyone who needs a phone that can keep up with their busy lifestyle.

Speaking of which, it seems like Nintendo is also having some excitement in the gaming world. According to reports, the company has sold nearly a million of their new Switch consoles in the US in just one month. These numbers are impressive, especially considering the Wii U's modest sales when it first launched.

But what really sets this apart is that Nintendo had no idea that the Switch would be such a huge success. The NES classic was released as a budget-friendly throwback to the company's roots, but even Nintendo didn't expect it to become a hit. Despite initial concerns about its long-term viability, the NES classic has proven to be a surprise success.

This raises an interesting question: do companies sometimes underestimate the power of nostalgia and retro gaming? The NES classic is clearly a beloved console for many gamers, and its success shows that there's still a lot of love out there for classic games. As such, Nintendo may be onto something with this strategy.

On another note, we'd like to introduce you to the onewheel plus, a fascinating device that combines elements of a skateboard with the functionality of a computerized bike. The onewheel is packed with sensors and gyros that help keep users balanced while riding or just standing still. It's an innovative design that encourages creativity and movement.

DT's Cool Tech editor Drew Prindle rode the onewheel plus for fun and even commuted to work on it, claiming that it was a game-changer for his daily routine. He notes that one has to be a skilled "Circus Olay acrobat" to master the onewheel, but with practice, anyone can learn how to ride it like a pro.

The onewheel plus is not just about having fun; it's also an eco-friendly alternative to cars and public transportation. By getting users moving and engaged with their surroundings, this innovative device encourages people to think more critically about their relationship with the environment.

We'd love for you to check out the review and video of the onewheel plus for yourself. It's definitely a unique product that has piqued our interest, and we're excited to see what it can do.

Finally, we'll be tuning in live at 2 PM today for Between the Streams, our entertainment podcast where we'll be talking all things Star Wars. Join us as we explore the galaxy far, far away and discuss the latest news and developments from the world of science fiction. We promise a fun and engaging discussion that's out of this world.

That's it for today's DT Daily; thanks for watching and see you next week!
