TL;DR
Motorola has announced the Edge S in China. The smartphone is the first to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset. Pricing starts at 1,999 yuan (~$309). Aesthetically, it looks nothing like the company’s other Edge devices. While the Edge and Edge Plus featured a vertical camera array at the rear, the Edge S makes do with a cluster of four arranged in a square. Upfront, there’s are two prominent selfie camera cutouts in the top-left corner of the display.
In our initial review, one of our biggest gripes with the Garmin Vivoactive 3 was that it didn’t have support for music storage. It looks like Garmin heard our request and did something about that.
Garmin introduced the Vivoactive 3 Music — a running watch that allows you to store up to 500 songs and listen to them during your workout. You can either load up your own music if you have it downloaded to a computer, or download playlists from iHeartRadio if you subscribe to that service.

A developer has installed Wear OS on the Galaxy Gear S3 Frontier. The 2016 smartwatch originally shipped with Samsung’s Tizen OS. Lots of stuff is broken, and battery life is “poor,” so this isn’t going to breathe new life into your old watch. In 2018, Samsung launched the Galaxy Watch. It was the first from the brand not to use the “Gear” branding it had adopted up until that point.
The free-to-play horror game Granny has been out for a while now on Android and iOS, but thanks to frequent updates from creator DVloper, it’s managed to stay relevant more than six months after its release. For such a simple game, that’s no small feat.
Beating Granny is actually challenging. Without a beginner’s guide, new players are unlikely to make it further than the starting room without being clubbed by their dear grandmother.
The IBM Simon was the first smartphone ever. It even had a touch screen!
Today we live in a world filled with quad-core smartphones and handsets with 1080p screens, but it certainly didn’t start out that way. The first smartphone was announced at COMDEX on November 23rd of 1992, making last Friday the smartphone’s 20th birthday.
The IBM Simon Personal Communicator was a massive device with a battery guzzling design, and its processor was quite laughable by today’s standards at just 16MHz.
We’ve rounded up our favorites from both developer previews below.
Gesture-based navigation systemOne of the biggest changes to Android P is the removal of the traditional navigation buttons. There’s now one elongated button right in the center, which acts as your home button. You can tap it to go home or long-press it to bring up Google Assistant.
Swiping up from the new home button and will bring up a screen called Overview.

Security and privacy on the Internet are major concerns these days. We keep a lot of personal information on our phones and computers after all. If privacy is important to you, we really recommend using a VPN (Virtual Private Network). It’s a term you have likely heard in the context of privacy, and maybe even geolocation. But what is a VPN, and what can it do for you?
The Google Pixel 3a is a compelling mid-range handset in its own right. Starting at just $399 compared to the $799 Pixel 3 and packing many of the features you get in its premium sibling, the addition of Google’s photography expertise is the cherry on top of an already well-iced cake. So perhaps the deciding question when picking between these two phones, besides price, is which takes better photos?
