While we've seen renders of the Huawei P50 and Huawei P50 Pro with two big camera lenses, today we've received some images in our inbox that suggest something completely different. According to our anonymous tipster, this phone is part of the new P series, and looking at the curved edges, we would think it is the P50 Pro, however, the camera setup on the back lacks a periscope lens, meaning it could be the vanilla P50 as well.

Posted: 07 Apr 2021 06:51 PM PDT

T-Mobile is talking a big 5G game today, announcing that it's giving anyone who trades in any old phone a free Samsung Galaxy A32 5G. The old phone has to be in working order, but it can be any phone - the press release even mentions you can trade in a Sidekick, flip phone, whatever. The "free" bit comes after 24 bill credits, so you will need to stick around for two years to benefit, and you still have to pay sales tax - but hey, it's almost free after all. The carrier also announced that it's upgrading all of its customers (including those previously on Sprint) who are on a...

Our Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 video review is up

Posted: 07 Apr 2021 12:21 PM PDT

The Redmi Note 10 from Xiaomi is one of the new devices on the block and after completing out written review we are now ready with the video breakdown. It's important to mention that the unit we reviewed is the 4G variant rather than the 5G version. With the Pro moniker absent here, the specs are less impressive than the other Redmi Note 10 members. You get a smaller 6.43-inch display here which is still of the Super AMOLED variety yet sadly sports a standard 60Hz refresh rate. Design-wise the vanilla Note 10 can easily be mistaken for its more expensive siblings and it still...

Posted: 07 Apr 2021 09:29 AM PDT

The Huawei Watch 2 came out in 2017 with Google Wear OS, but since then the company has shifted its focus to the Watch GT series, which runs its own in-house software.

Interestingly, it won't use the same LiteOS we've seen on the GT watches either. Instead it will run HarmonyOS with a brand new UI. Also, it will support more third-party apps, something currently lacking in the GT series. This model will...
