The ZTE Axon M looks like a concept phone come to life, but the reality of actually using ZTE’s dual-screened oddity doesn’t quite match the dream. Unlike the Axon 7, the Shenzhen-based firm’s no-nonsense, mid-tier crowd-pleaser from 2016, its sort-of successor is an entirely different beast with a unique, foldable design tailor-made for multitasking.
While the twin display set-up comes with a few inherent issues that we highlighted in our full review, the phone’s real bum note was its low price-performance ratio.
Nokia seems to be gunning for the same approach, except they target two players at once – Samsung and Apple. After the spot it launched in April had wedding goers go at each other throats in the name of smartphone allegiance, Nokia is revisiting the topic with this Lumia 1020 commercial:
The ad includes the obligatory reference to taking pics with an iPad (seriously, why do people do that?) but also to the software features that Samsung loves so much to tout (Drama Shot, bump to share, etc.

Fitbit is rolling out quick replies and the ability to accept/reject calls from the Charge 3. The company also announced that the Special Edition model is now on sale.
