Motorola announces One 5G for the United States

On Monday, Motorola is announcing a new midrange 5G smartphone. The Motorola One 5G is essentially a rebranded Moto G 5G Plus headed to the US market with a unique ring flash. The company doesn’t yet have an exact price point, but it promises the phone will cost under $500. The Moto One 5G comes with the same specs as the G 5G Plus. It has a total of six cameras: four on the back and two in the front. One of the selfie cameras is a 16MP f/2.0 camera and the other is an 8MP ultra wide shooter for wide selfies.

ZTE Axon 20 5G and its under-screen selfie cam star in a short video

The ZTE Axon 20 5G will be unveiled later today, September 1, but you can have a peek at the phone right now – check out the video below to see it in action. Of course, the unique feature of this phone is the one you can’t see, the first under-screen selfie camera on a mass produced phone. The video shows both a white background as well as moving images and there are no visible artifacts – no dimmer area, no place where the animation looks funky.

Huawei Enjoy 20 and Huawei Enjoy 20 Plus officially arriving on September 3

The new affordable lineup by Huawei is going to be called Enjoy 20 and we finally have an official launch date - September 3, which is this Thursday. At the event we expect to see two smartphones - Huawei Enjoy 20 and Huawei Enjoy 20 Plus, and thanks to the official poster, we finally know how they’ll look. Having three or four shooters lined up like a stovetop isn’t something new for Huawei - the Mate 20 lineup introduced it first, but the square setup moved to the upper left corner with the nova 6 SE.

Sony WF-1000XM3 wireless noise canceling earphones review

The Sony WF-1000XM3 were Sony's first truly wireless in-ear noise-canceling earphones. Launched in July of last year, they quickly became the most well regarded TWS noise-canceling earphones on the market. For many, it had the same combination of great active noise-canceling and good enough audio quality that the full-size WH-1000XM3 offered, but in a more discreet form. Now, over a full year later, Sony launched these earphones in the Indian market, which allowed me to do a full review on them.

Top 10 trending phones of week 35

The trending chart this week was mostly driven by the rumor mill as the phones coming in the next few days got the most attention. The Realme 7 Pro got the lion's share of attention, ahead of the Oppo F17 Pro - the two managed to dethrone the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra days before their official debuts. The former leader is now on the third step of the podium, just ahead of the Redmi Note 9 Pro, which retains fourth.

Week 35 in review: Zenfone 7 duo is here, Xperia 5 II is coming

Welcome to this week's recap of the most exciting stories. Let's get started! Asus unveiled the Zenfone 7 and Zenfone 7 Pro and they're mostly identical. What sets them apart is the 7 Pro uses a Snapdragon 865+, has OIS on its main and zoom camera and has a 256GB model, while the vanilla 7 is SD865, has no OIS on its cameras and tops out at 128GB. The pair launch globally on September 1. Realme has two launches planned for next week.

Weekly poll: are the Asus Zenfone 7 and 7 Pro sleeper hits?

The Asus Zenfone 7 Pro is a significant improvement over the previous generation. The Zenfone 6 from last year was pretty capable too, but it had issues translating that into sales. Can the new generation do better? Let's start with the roomy 6.67” AMOLED display from Samsung with 90 Hz refresh rate, high brightness and excellent color accuracy. It only has 1080p resolution, though, while most premium models have moved to 1440p. Except gaming phones, but this isn’t a gaming phone.

Flashback: the Oppo N1 turned the camera around on you

Not long after phones first learned how to take photos came the first phones with dedicated selfie cameras. But the arrival of 3G networks meant that not just any camera would do – a core feature of 3G was the native video calls. Barely anyone did that, but we got some interesting phones out of it. Like the Sony Ericsson V800, for instance, which had a camera that normally pointed away from you to take photos, but could be rotated to point towards you too. Back then you had to rotate it manually, that was the norm. And it remained so until the Oppo N1 arrived. The phone is notable for... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/3gP3VeF via

Weekly poll results: under-display cameras are exciting, never mind potential downsides

Last week’s poll shows that the image quality of selfies is not a priority – instead most people prefer a sleek-looking, waterproof phone. 75% of voters were in favor of under-display cameras while only 25% preferred the flip-up design. Durability really proved to be a key concern, beyond just water resistance. Many are still not convinced that the flip-up mechanism will last the lifetime of the phone. Also, the mechanism does take up a lot more volume. Asus claims the Zenfone 7 motor has more than double the torque of last year’s model and that the flip up can withstand 35 kg pushing... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/3gH2azY via

Alleged pricing for Galaxy S20 FE 5G in Canada leaks

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE leaked in a 360-degree video last week. The Galaxy S20 FE isn’t exactly a rebranded S20, it’s meant to be a successor to the Galaxy S10 Lite. It was previously reported that the Galaxy S20 FE would arrive in six different color options and in both 4G and 5G variants. The latest report from DealNTech shows leaked pricing for the S20 FE 5G in Canadian Dollars. A database revealed a price of CAD 1,148.65 for the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. This converts to roughly USD 876 but we might see an even lower price, should this device make it to the US market. The listed... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/3lo1G5r via

AT&T Moto Razr 2020 diagram leaks

The 2020 Moto Razr is coming and the latest leak comes from none other than @evleaks. We’ve already seen the Moto Razr 2020 leak a few times and the latest leak doesn’t reveal any new information. A labeled diagram of the phone has surfaced, likely from the AT&T branded phone’s user manual. The power key is shown on the upper left side of the phone with the volume buttons on the upper right side.

LG's crazy Wing dual rotating screen smartphone to cost around $1,000, new video out

A couple of days ago a leaked hands-on video showed the upcoming LG Wing in action for a few seconds, with its weird T shape and rotating form factor. Today, a new video is out, this time showing us what gaming will be like on this unique device. The Wing has a main screen that rotates into landscape mode to reveal a smaller secondary panel under it and create that T shape. The main display is rumored to be 6.8", while the smaller one is around 4". According to an unnamed source, the Wing will be priced at around $1,000 when it launches in the US this fall.

Cheaper Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Lite is headed to India

Samsung has long been rumored to expand its foldable smartphone line even more, with a more affordable device to complement the Z Fold2 in a similar form factor. We'll call this Galaxy Z Fold Lite for now, although that name is just an assumption on our part. This phone has so far been rumored to sport the model number SM-F415F, which makes sense because in Samsung's naming scheme, the first "F" stands for "foldable", while the low number implies this will be lower-end (and lower priced) than the original Galaxy Fold and the Galaxy Z Fold 2.

Oppo patents slider phone with extendable display

According to the latest smartphone patent from Oppo, a new smartphone design has come about. This design is reminiscent of the classic slider phone: a mobile device with a display that can be slip up along a track to reveal either a larger display or a set of buttons underneath. The latest patent marries the slider to a modern touchscreen smartphone. Rather than a smartphone that folds closed like the Galaxy Z Flip, the Oppo patent (filed back on February 27 2020) shows a smartphone with a square-size display.

In fact, OnePlus founder Carl Pei tweeted in June 2016 (over four years ago) sketches of a OnePlus smartwatch that never came into fruition.

Sony Xperia 5 II specs leak alongside more renders

Sony is expected to announce the Xperia 5 II at an online event on September 17. This will obviously be the successor to the Xperia 5 from last year, and it looks like Sony isn't ready to give up on its insane naming scheme just yet. Recently we saw the first leaked render showing the Xperia 5 II, and today more of these have been outed, alongside a substantial list of its specs. The phone is said to sport a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display with 21:9 aspect ratio, 120 Hz refresh rate, and 240 Hz touch sampling rate.

BLU has just launched its newest unlocked smartphone in the US market, the G90 Pro.
