Earlier today, an unnamed Motorola smartphone surfaced on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) database with model number XT2041-1. This same smartphone also passed through the Wi-Fi Alliance in October.
According to the FCC documents, the phone features a 5,000mAh battery and measures 157.9 x 75.8mm. The front measures 165mm, which means the phone might have a 6.2- or 6.3-inch display. Lastly, the phone runs Android 10 out of the box.
Over the past few years, we’ve seen several Chinese OEMs partner with automotive companies to offer special edition devices for fanatics with deep pockets. Huawei has Porsche Design, Oppo has Lamborghini, and now OnePlus has a partnership with McLaren.
Launched in partnership with McLaren, the popular British Formula One team, the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition differs from the standard edition by offering 10GB of RAM and a new 30-watt charging technology, dubbed as ‘Warp Charge’, that promises a day’s power in 20 minutes.
The first Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Plus renders have arrived just a few days after we saw leaked renders of the smaller Galaxy Note 20. These renders come from known tipster OnLeaks (in collaboration with Pigtou) so we can trust that they are pretty close to the real thing.
Right off the bat, the first thing you’ll notice about the alleged Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Plus is its huge and chunky camera module.
Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) took the gaming world by storm in 2017. Since then it has lost some ground to other battle royale games like Fortnite. In an attempt to reinvigorate this initial steam, Brendan Greene’s PUBG franchise has a new trick up its sleeve — PUBG Mobile. Although PUBG clones have been around for a while now (some are now subject to litigation), the international version of PUBG Mobile hit Android devices well ahead of Fortnite Mobile, which is still only on iOS.

Waze is unique in that it allows anyone using the navigation app to report traffic accidents, slowdowns, and more. Doing so enables drivers to alert others on the road to possible hazards. The primary issue with this system is that it requires users to take their eyes off the road — even just momentarily — to make a report.
To make Waze less distracting, Google hasintegrated the Assistant into the navigation app similar to what it did with Maps.
Samsung Galaxy S4
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, rumored for a while now as a rugged version of the Korean company’s flagship device, now has some new clues pointing towards it.
What’s even more interesting is that the same model number also appears in a User Agent Profile, as discovered by TechTastic, and that same user profile includes some more interesting information. The device, which has also been apparently confirmed by a Samsung executive, reportedly has Full HD screen resolution, just like the original Samsung Galaxy S4.
TL;DR
Samsung confirmed to Android Authority that the new Samsung One UI is coming to some older devices. Specifically, One UI will come to the Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 Plus, and Note 8. Samsung One UI is the newest iteration of its Android skin, currently known as Samsung Experience. At the Samsung Developers Conference on November 7, Samsung revealed the newest iteration of its popular Android skin. Branded as Samsung One UI, the new skin aims to make navigating Android simpler and is designed around how we use our phones today.

For many years, smartphone manufacturers stuck to traditional and somewhat boring colors when designing their smartphones, but over the past 18 months, we’ve seen a shift in the norm. Where Black and White smartphones used to be the colours most widely used, now we have Gold, Silver and plenty more, but which is the color to have?
Over the past 12 months, we’ve conducted numerous color comparisons showing off everything from the obscure to the familiar.

Cryptocurrencies are entirely digital, which means you can send or receive them with a corresponding digital wallet on a computer or smartphone. Still, you might be surprised to know that cryptocurrencies are not actually “stored” in a cryptocurrency wallet, or really anywhere.
Instead, your ownership is tied to a unique key. A cryptocurrency wallet offers a friendly interface to interact with this key, either to prove ownership or spend your balance.
