People have been asking me to show off the Carbon Gray version of the HTC 10, despite all the reviews, unboxing, etc. that I've done of the silver version. So, by popular demand, I bring you an unboxing of the HTC 10 Carbon Gray model. It's the exact same phone as the silver model, just a different color - but you wanted it, so here it is! I still think it's the best Android smartphone released in 2016 so far.

Now let me know, which color do you prefer? Let me know in the comments!

You can get the HTC 10 now.

The ecobee3 is a smart thermostat that can be controlled by the sound of your voice by way of Siri or Amazon Alexa. With Apple HomeKit and Amazon Alexa services built-in, you can simply ask one of the digital assistants to set your temperature, and it's done. With Siri, you can do it from anywhere you have an Internet connection, using any iOS device or Apple Watch!

Of course, you can use it the old-fashioned way, but instead of clunky dials and knobs, the #ecobee3 has a modern touch display built in. It can also monitor the temperature in multiple rooms of your home, making sure the rooms that are occupied stay comfortable! Check out the video for my full review - I also show you how to install the ecobee3!

I bring you my HTC 10 Camera Review in this episode. I wanted to review the HTC 10 camera specifically because many in the media reviewed it too early. The pre-launch camera software was slow and buggy, but an update was released for the camera a couple of days before the HTC 10 went on sale to the general public, which vastly improved the camera experience. Check out the camera videos and image samples included in this episode. What do you think? What's your favorite smartphone camera?
