Deal: Motorola Edge drops to just $399.99 unlocked

Posted: 06 Nov 2020 06:18 PM PST

Motorola made its comeback into the flagship smartphone space this year with the Edge+, but many may have forgotten that there's a companion device to that one - we're talking about the vanilla Edge. This upper-midrange device was launched alongside the Edge+, for a pretty penny. Its recommended retail price is $699.99, and while it was around $200 off for pre-orders, today's deal tops that. Amazon is now offering the Edge for just $399.99 unlocked, and this is the US model too, so you won't have to worry about missing bands or not getting a warranty or any such shenanigans. You're getting...

The app's function is described on the Play Store as follows: Device Lock Controller enables device management for credit providers.

Realme Narzo 20 hands-on review

Posted: 06 Nov 2020 01:33 PM PST

Introduction It really wasn't that long ago that the Narzo 10 family saw the light of day and yet here we are testing the new Narzo 20 lineup. For better or worse, this kind of turnover is the norm in the modern highly-competitive budget Android realm. Realme knows too well that these are the kind of devices that are really going to move volume. Hence, the constant iterative updates to bring better value on a shoestring budget. The Narzo 20 is the middle-child in the Narzo 20 trio, unveiled on September 21. Both in name and features, it is clearly an iteration on the vanilla Narzo...

PlayStation 5's expandable storage will not be enabled at launch

Posted: 06 Nov 2020 10:33 AM PST

Both PlayStation 5 models feature a custom 825 GB SSD of which 667 GB are available for game installation. At first that will have to be enough as storage expansion will not be enabled at launch – instead this feature is "reserved for a future update". The PS5 has a standard M.2 slot for SSDs, however only the latest PCIe 4.0 drives will be fast enough to match the console's internal SSD (they need to hit 5.5 GB/s, which is faster than a PCIe 3.0 x4 bus can manage). And that's not the only requirement either. Mark Cerny, the lead designer of the console, told The Verge that drives need...

Google Pixel 4a passes durability test with flying colors

Posted: 06 Nov 2020 09:12 AM PST

The last phone to go through the JerryRigEverything's durability test is the Google Pixel 4a. Google's mostly plastic phone did fine, despite losing chunks of its rear panel and sides to a razer. The screen scratches at the same level 6 on Mohs' scale of hardness as any other screen, Ceramic Shield and Victus alike, and the phone doesn't bend, despite being made of a weaker material than metal. And there's a moral victory in the test for Google as its phone survived a test that the OnePlus Nord, one of its main rivals, didn't.
