Posted: 27 Feb 2021 08:00 AM PST

Last year, Motorola's iconic Moto 360 smartwatch running on Wear OS made a comeback, but it was manufactured by one of Motorola's partners - eBuyNow. And it looks like the two companies are extending their partnership by bringing three more Moto-branded smartwatches later this year. In a presentation showing off the roadmap of future devices, we can see a Moto G smartwatch scheduled for a June release and as the name implies, we are probably looking at a budget device. A circular design is at hand with two physical buttons to the side. If all goes as planned, we should see a Moto...

Posted: 27 Feb 2021 06:00 AM PST

As rumors surrounding the Find X3-series continue to take over the news section, today's one suggests when the stream of leaks will likely stop. And that's March 11. Oppo did say that it plans to announce its flagship Find X3 family sometime in March and the leaked poster looks like the real thing. It schedules a March 11 event at 19:30 local time. This is most likely a Chinese event we are talking about, so a global one will follow shortly after. However, the X3 Pro and the proper X3 are going to be the real stars of the show since earlier rumors say that the X3 Lite and the X3 Neo...

A press render of the Samsung Galaxy Xcover 5 we've been hearing about since late last month has surfaced, revealing its rugged design. The image was shared by leakster Evan Blass, who claimed the Xcover 5 is not a successor to last year's Xcover Pro, but a follow-up to the Xcover 4s launched back in 2019. While we are yet to hear anything from Samsung about the Galaxy Xcover 5, the smartphone has moved a step closer to the launch as it bagged Bluetooth SIG certification.

Samsung's smallest and cheapest of its trio of early 2021 flagships is now cheaper than it's ever been before - but not smaller.

Verizon's LG V60 ThinQ 5G UW is now receiving the Android 11 update

Posted: 26 Feb 2021 07:27 PM PST

There are companies who are very good at timely Android updates, there are companies who are quite bad at that, and then there's LG. The Korean firm has only sent out an update to Android 11 to the Velvet so far, but even for that model the new software only rolled out in South Korea. Today marks the start of LG's second ever Android 11 rollout, this time for Verizon's V60 ThinQ 5G UW units. This is also the first LG device in the US to receive an Android 11 update, almost half a year after Google first released the finalized version of the OS. Anyway, that aside, Verizon has...

Yesterday Xiaomi's sub-brand Redmi introduced its flagship lineup for 2021, namely the Redmi K40, K40 Pro, and K40 Pro+. While the launch was China-only, rumor has it at least one of these will be available globally under the Poco brand. It's only been around 24 hours after the launch, but someone in China has already managed to disassemble the Redmi K40 and K40 Pro, and here's the video proof of that. Note that the audio is Chinese, unsurprisingly, but even if you don't understand the language the shots of the insides of the phones speak for themselves. The Redmi K40 has the...

Huawei wants to make electric cars later this year

Posted: 26 Feb 2021 12:57 PM PST

Huawei has been suffering a lot from the US government's various bans, and as a consequence we've seen the company diversify its product portfolio quite a bit, with a lot more focus placed on wearables and audio accessories in recent months, for example. Now a new report claims Huawei is actually planning on making electric cars under its own brand, and some models may even launch before the end of this year. Apparently, the company has already started internally designing the EVs and approaching suppliers. Richard Yu, head of Huawei's consumer business group, who was in charge of...

Nearly a year after its initial release, Huawei's P40 has been released in a 4G-only variant. The Huawei P40 4G is powered by the Kirin 990 chipset which is the only difference from the regular 5G model. The rest of the spec sheet is identical.
