Here in the US, we sometimes get FCC-sanctioned phone alerts related to national issues or location-specific problems, such as missing children. The FCC will be changing this alert system in a few ways, which will include pushing some alerts that won’t allow for an opt-out. The changes are a direct result of an erroneous alert issued in 2018 that said a ballistic missile was headed towards Hawaii. You might not remember a specific instance, but pretty much every smartphone owner in the United States can remember getting an insanely loud national or state-wide alert on their phone.

A case is arguably the most important accessory you can buy for your phone, especially if you’ve spent a pretty penny on the device. These cases are generally meant to protect your phone, but they also come in all shapes and sizes.

Such is the case with Canadian Motorola RAZR users that are still waiting to officially taste ICS on their handsets. However, there’s good news for them as Mobile Syrup is reporting that Motorola Canada mentioned on its Facebook Page an “early September” rollout of the RAZR ICS update:
We’ve seen a lot of unusual concepts and prototypes over the years, but nothing looked as crazy as the ADzero smartphone shown off back in February. Crazy original we mean, because there was nothing to put us off at an organic, ultra-light and super-elegant phone made entirely out of bamboo.
Still, we couldn’t help but feel that this might have been a bit ahead of times, so we weren’t exactly shocked when time passed by and we heard nothing about any project developments.

More Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 details have leaked. The earbuds will reportedly pack five hours of juice with ANC switched on. An IPX7 rating could also feature, according to the tip. We already know plenty about the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2. Now, a new leak has seemingly revealed the remaining unknowns about the true wireless earbuds.
The leak stems from relatively new tipster Snoopy (h/t Android Police), who revealed a lengthy machine-translated specs sheet relating to the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic earlier this week.

The Honor 8C has been listed by the Huawei sub-brand, complete with its spec sheet. Honor’s new phone will pack a Snapdragon 632 chipset, 4GB of RAM, and up to 64GB of storage. The phone also delivers a 4,000mAh battery, and a 13MP+2MP rear camera combo. The Honor 8C is the latest in the sub-brand’s series of affordable phones, and the company has revealed specifications ahead of its official launch event.
Right now, customers can cop an unlocked Motorola One Zoom for only $350, $100 off the original price tag. This is a solid deal considering the handset is still relatively new, and this is the biggest price drop we have seen since its launch a couple of months ago.

Xtreamer is a company you’ve probably never heard of, and that’s OK, because we had to Google them too.
