Huami Amazfit Bip S
The Amazfit Bip S is a good fitness tracker if you're looking for reliable stats and accurate GPS under $100. However, its biggest drawback is spotty connectivity with the Amazfit app — which could be a firmware issue — but makes it difficult to recommend. Huami’s Amazfit series has always piqued my interest, not just because the company also makes the ultra-popularXiaomi Mi Band, but because Amazfit wearables offer a ton of features at affordable price points.
Two of Android’s biggest strengths are choice and customization. While Apple started to catch up by adding widgets in iOS 14, Android phones consistently introduce innovative features that empower users to customize their software experience, especially with the new Android 12 Material You design language. However, it’s not usually stock Android or Pixel phones that make the biggest leaps.
In my view, custom Android skins have often been at the forefront of innovation.

The OnePlus 10 Pro aims to challenge the best in flagship photography with its second-generation “Hasselblad Camera for Mobile” system. The company makes bold claims about the new camera, particularly concerning its 10-bit “billion color solution” and new 150-degree ultrawide camera.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is a true Android classic, but unfortunately the phone isn’t receiving as much love from Samsung in its autumn years.
The Korean E210S version of the Galaxy S3 has recently received its Android 4.4.4 upgrade, whilst the international i9300 variant has been left without an update. Samsung had been toying with the idea of an official KitKat update for the i9300 handset, but has fallen short of delivering.
The reason for the update split is apparently down to hardware limitations.

Ample competition has ensured that mid-range smartphones are doing better than ever now, and there’s no dearth of brands aiming to make the flagship experience more affordable for everyone. However, it wasn’t all that long ago that the disparity in the user experience between a budget and a high-end phone was a lot more significant. The first few generations of budget smartphones were particularly bad, owing to their underpowered processors and bloated software
I don’t know what’s more surprising: the fact that Yahoo is still a thing under Verizon ownership, or that it has decided to launch an instant messaging app. Squirrel, spotted by Android Police, is an invite-only group chat app that allows you to create rooms for people or topics.
On paper, it sounds like the group functionality in any other IM app, down to the ability to mute rowdy rooms. However, the execution seems more in line with workplace app Slack‘s channels, letting you create groups for a select subset of the main group and allowing you to send a “blast” message for important messages.
The Fitbit Charge line is the most popular fitness tracker series in history, and today we’re getting a new one. Fitbit has announced the Fitbit Charge 4 — a decidedly iterative upgrade to last year’s Charge 3, but with one big new feature.
Fitbit Charge 4 specs and features You read the title, and you’re probably as happy as I am about it: The Fitbit Charge 4 has built-in GPS. Previous Charge devices have only come with connected GPS capabilities, meaning you’d need to carry your phone with you on a run or bike ride if you wanted accurate pace and distance metrics.
