The modern-day smartphone is, by and large, a highly integrated piece of circuitry and precise engineering to maximize components in the least amount of space. Part of this comes from dropping unnecessary ports and access panels. Back in 2007, the Apple iPhone was one of the first smartphones to ship with a non-removable battery. In the fourteen years since then, a removable battery has become a rare unicorn reserved for bespoke-use smartphones like rugged handsets.

TL;DR
The Xiaomi 12 Ultra just leaked from a reliable source. Renders show a phone with a massive rear camera system. Leaked specs, however, aren’t as readily available as the renders.

Android 4.3 is out! Even though it’s an incremental update at best, it still brought with it a number of enhancements and features, including support for 4k displays. However, that’s not all Android 4.3 was packing. Underneath the improvements we could see in Android 4.3 was a secret feature that is, for the time being, hidden.

Google has launched many social networking services that have never caught on with the general public. That includes Google Plus, which started out in 2011 with a lot of hype, but finally closed in 2019. In June 2020, the company quietly revealed it was working on a more modest social networking project, Google Keen.
Fast-forward to 2022, and Keen continues to be a bit of an underground Google project very few people know about.
Skagen Jorn Hybrid HRThe Skagen Jorn Hybrid HR is a solid hybrid smartwatch with a fun, long-lasting e-ink display. While Skagen nailed the design, the on-device software leaves much to be desired.
