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.

Cricket is a surprisingly big sport on the worldwide stage. It’s especially popular in countries like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Australia. It’s a bit surprising since the sport originated in the United Kingdom. In any case, there are plenty of apps out there for cricket enthusiasts and especially ones who want to keep score of matches from all over the world. However, it seems most people want a good scoring app.

Bluetooth is one of those pieces of tech that we now take for granted. Ever since its introduction in the mid-1990s it has become an essential wireless technology, not only for smartphones but also for tablets, laptops, desktops, and more. Bluetooth comes in two flavors: “Classic” and “Low Energy”. The former is the Bluetooth that enables our wireless keyboards and mice, along with wireless headsets and speakers. The latter, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) uses a lot less power and is designed for areas like health care, fitness, and beacons.

Whether it’s the new Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Apple’s iPhone 12 series, or the Huawei Mate 40 Pro, camera housing bumps feel bigger than ever. In fact, the phones with the biggest camera housings usually end up taking better pictures. Slimmed phones, on the other hand, have fallen down the pecking order. Although this trend seems to be having a positive effect on photography quality, it’s not the most aesthetically pleasing trade-off, and it makes for bulkier phones.

Will we see true 5G soon? Is Gigabit LTE worse or just as good? Will I actually ever get to use either of them on my phone? Let’s tear down the differences between these two networking technologies and find out. Technical standards The problem with both 5G and Gigabit LTE is that various companies and carriers have been using the terms to describe different things. We’ve already explored some of the differences between 5G Non-Standalone and the (upcoming) 5G Standalone standard and what that means for products and use cases – put simply, 5G is not yet a single “thing”.

We can back up nearly anything to the cloud, but text messages usually go bye bye when you switch handsets or factory reset a phone. We want to make sure that everyone is looking after their data. Specifically, we want to make sure you are backing up your SMS messages. I know at least our Canadian readers prefer the term ‘text messages’ here, which is possibly more accurate, but I’m going to stick with SMS for the sake of continuity.
