Here's how to deregister your phone number from Google's RCS Chat

You can now easily deregister your phone number even when you do not have your previous device with you. What you need to know Google has finally made it easier for users to deregister their phone numbers from its RCS chat system. Users can now deregister their phone number and disable RCS chat features with an online form. The new system hasn't been formally announced by Google yet. Google has quietly rolled out a new system to help users turn RCS chat features off on their previous phone when switching platforms. The new system happens to be nearly identical to that used by Apple, allowing users to deregister their phone number using an online form.

The Xperia 1 is still our favorite phone for shooting video

Cameras in smartphones are getting better than ever, and that applies just as much to videography as it does to photography. Luckily, just about any high-end phone captures great-looking footage these days, but some have great specialized video features, while others are better suited for point and shoot videography. So what phone best fits your needs? Best overall Sony Xperia 1 Staff pick The Xperia 1 combines three great cameras — wide, telephoto, and ultra-wide — with robust manual controls and a color-accurate display that's capable of utilizing the Rec. 2020 color gamut. Sony's Cinema Pro app allows you to manually set ISO, focus, and shutter speed, as well as apply LUTs to achieve different cinematic looks, and you can even shoot in the same 21:9 aspect ratio used in popular films, compressed with the h.265 codec. $798 at Amazon Highest resolution videos Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra The Galaxy S20 Ultra doesn't have the Xperia 1's fancy manual control

Up your sound quality with these incredible wireless headphones!

Wireless Bluetooth headphones have become increasingly popular over the last several years. The best wireless headphones have support for great, high-fidelity sound. That's why the Sony WH-1000XM3 are our best overall pick. They feature good sound quality, long battery life, and are comfortable for long-term use — and their noise cancelation is second-to-none. Best Overall: Sony WH-1000XM3 By far, the most significant feature of the XM3 is their class-leading active noise-canceling (ANC) performance. Not only does their ANC performance make traveling much easier by completely drowning out things such as planes and trains; the XM3 are excellent at blocking out higher-pitched sounds as well. The ANC you get out of the XM3 is legitimate, and can sometimes feel like you're in an empty room. The ANC works seamlessly with how comfortable the headphones are. No matter your head shape or size, the XM3 will more than likely feel super comfortable on your head and will be comfortabl
