The image below was sent out with the tweet. The new BlackBerry KEY2 logo (with a numeral “2” rather than “two” spelled out, like the company did with the KEYone) is in the lower right-hand corner, and the date and time are near the center. Along with the image, BlackBerry included three Emoji in place of text: a key Emoji (?), a numeral “2” Emoji (2⃣), and the eyes Emoji (?

TL;DR There will be no Google Pixel 4a 5G or Google Pixel 5 India launches. Google confirmed the news today within a Pixel 4a press release. It is possible this news relates to the Pixel 5 having Motion Sense. While these two phones will see launches in various parts of the world before the end of 2020, there will not be Google Pixel 4a 5G or Google Pixel 5 India or Singapore launches.

As bezels decrease on new phones thanks to improved display technologies, manufacturers are faced with an obvious problem: where will all the things that people like to have on the front of their phones go? Front-facing cameras, speakers, buttons, and fingerprint sensors are being shuffled around or replaced by the likes of gestures, under-glass solutions and relocation. Xiaomi tried “cantilever piezoelectric ceramic acoustic technology” to address the earpiece speaker, Samsung finally relented and moved its trademark fingerprint scanner to the back of the phone, and we’ve now seen a pop-up selfie camera in a bezel-less concept from Vivo that has the added benefit of an under-glass fingerprint sensor.

TL;DR Samsung has reportedly given the Galaxy Note 10 the codename “Da Vinci.” Could this mean we can expect more S Pen advancements on the Note 10? Codenames are internal names given to smartphones during development. While they don’t generally tell us a whole lot about the phone, The Bell speculates that by naming the device after a famous painter, Samsung could be hinting at plans to improve the phone’s S Pen.

Essential recently announced its shutdown, stating at the time that the last official software update to hit the Essential Phone will be the already released February security patch. First spotted by Twitter user Branden Farmer (h/t: XDA Developers), Essential has opened a new branch named r-preview on their GitHub repository. The commits here are meant to make the Essential Phone more compatible with the Android 11 Generic System Image (GSI).

TL;DR The first render of the OnePlus Watch just “leaked” through Unbox Therapy. OnePlus shared Unbox’s “leak” shortly after, so this is clearly what the watch really looks like. The design is very similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2. We’ve been hearing about OnePlus’ upcoming smartwatch for quite a while now, but only just today are we finally seeing it. Thanks to a render leaked through Unbox Therapy on Twitter (mirrored above), we can see the watch up-close and personal.

For many smartphone enthusiasts, specs are everything. Benchmarks and performance are constantly compared, discussed or argued over. So, it should come as no surprise that the newest spec that has seen major changes — screen refresh rate — is the latest battleground for both manufacturers and Android diehards. We’ve seen high refresh rate display phones from OnePlus, Google, Oppo, Asus, and more are expected to hit shelves this year. But are 90 and 120Hz refresh rates more than a marketing ploy?

With the Amazon Kindle Fire priced at only $199, it is no longer a surprise why many people find this as the better option compared to the overhyped Apple iPad. As such, there are already a million Kindle Fire users who have been pleased with their new purchase. If you are a proud owner of one, here’s a tutorial you might find useful. Although there are many people who find spelling auto-correction as a useful tool, it is not always the case.

As you already know, yesterday was iPhone 5 day. The new iOS smartphone was launched in nine countries and will roll out in 100 markets by the end of the year. Naturally, the device will be compared to every existing and upcoming high-end smartphone. In fact, we have a few such comparisons ourselves featuring the iPhone 5 against some of the hottest Android handsets available (and yes, they include video).
