HMD Global
TL;DR
The budget-focused Nokia X20 doesn’t come with an in-box charger. It’s unclear if this is a decision for specific markets or all regions. HMD confirmed that the new Nokia X series smartphones would be getting three years of Android version updates, much like we saw with Samsung’s phones. But it turns out that HMD is hopping on another recent trend with this series.
TechDroider (h/t: XDA-Developers) noticed that HMD isn’t including a charger in the box for the Nokia X20 phone.
Update: July 17, 2020 (2AM ET): More details of Samsung’s mystery fitness wearable, possibly a new Galaxy Fit smart band, have emerged via Bluetooth SIG certification. The listing, spotted by MySmartPrice, doesn’t reveal much about the device except for the presence of Bluetooth 5.1.
Judging by label diagrams (see original article below), we know the band may likely feature a Pogo pin charging system. Its physical appearance will likely resemble previous Galaxy Fit and Fit e models which Samsung launched in 2019.
The Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro has been teased for a few days now, but the Chinese brand has formally unveiled the device today.
We already know that the phone packs a 108MP penta-camera setup on the back, with Xiaomi previously confirming a 108MP primary sensor, 12MP 2x telephoto lens for portraits, a 20MP ultra-wide camera, a 5MP 5x zoom camera, and a macro sensor.
The Mi CC9 Pro also packs a 32MP selfie camera in a waterdrop notch.

Dragon Nest M, a remake of the anime-style PC game Dragon Nest, is now available on Android. It’s free-to-play, with a stamina system and premium currency like in other mobile MMOs. There are exclusive rewards available for returning players from the PC version. The mobile adaptation of the anime-style PC MMORPG Dragon Nest is now officially available on Android. It’s called Dragon Nest M, and it features the same graphics and gameplay as the game it’s based on, with a few small changes to make it more mobile friendly.

The Google Camera has been ported to the Xiaomi Mi 5 and Essential Phone, complete with working Night Sight mode. Night Sight is a Google Pixel 3 series-exclusive feature that offers superior low-light shots. The port’s developer is also said to be working on bringing it to the OnePlus 6. Night Sight is a Pixel 3 Google Camera feature that provides superior shooting in low-light and brightens up scenes that may otherwise be shrouded in darkness (it works incredibly well).
While popular smartphone manufacturers like LG and Apple have just recently adopted dual camera configurations, Huawei has largely led the way, beginning with the Huawei P9. While the P9 never made its way to the United States, the Honor brand is now bringing its own dual camera tech to the US with the Honor 8.

As we highlighted in our comprehensive review, the Honor 8 offers two factors that are often mutually exclusive: a high-end dual camera experience and an affordable price.
Who can resist browsing the Internet at lightning-fast speeds? Thanks to 4G LTE, you can download an app or a song within seconds. This excellent performance comes with a price, however.
Though many of today’s batteries have been designed to keep up with the demands of regular usage, some people may find their devices’ battery power running out rather quickly. This could mean a variety of things, but for users of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, your device’s connection to Verizon’s 4G LTE network may be a factor for the power drain.
At first glance, the two handsets might come off as pretty similar, mostly following the same aesthetic as we’ve seen with other recent Moto devices. Still, there are some notable differences in both design and specifications.
Design Despite packing wide notch-toting displays and glass/metal designs, the Moto One has a cheaper texture on the rear that honestly feels a lot like plastic (we had to ask because we were that unsure).
Those who have looked into smart motorcycle helmets can attest to the fact that they are usually absurdly expensive. I put together a list of the best ones last July, and the cheapest one was the Sena Cavalry helmet at $349. Now, that’s expenive considering we can’t really call this a true “smart helmet”. It’s a simple half helmet with an integrated Sena communicator. Start adding true smart features and you will see prices rise well over the thousand dollar milestone.

Renders of the Sony Xperia 1 IV just dropped. The phone is expected to be Sony’s flagship for the year. It retains a physical fingerprint sensor and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Sony Xperia 1 III was one of the best phones we tested last year. Now, the company seems to be readying a sequel called the Xperia 1 IV. Rumors about the device have been floating around for quite a while, but a reliable source has just leaked a bunch of high-quality renders of the phone.
