This is not our first encounter with the Google Pixel 5, in fact, we’ve seen its almost complete spec sheet and a couple of images. Now leakster Evan Blass has shared yet more images – this time showing the back of the phone as well as a new color.

That color is the Mint Green that we never got with the Pixel 4 (despite leaks). Earlier today images of the Pixel 4a 5G surfaced, but only in Black. Also, the 4a 5G version seems to have a smooth finish on the back panel.

Unlike the Pixel 5, which has a textured finish – that should make it grippy and resistant to fingerprints. Also note that the formerly flagship Pixel line now uses a common rear-mounted fingerprint reader.

Samsung has begun seeding its latest software update for the Galaxy S20 series series in Europe. It focuses on improving camera performance and also brings the usual security fixes. It comes with the G98xxXXU4BTIB build number and weighs in at just over 350 MB.

For now, the update is limited to Europe with reports from Germany claiming it’s already available across all three flagship Galaxy S20 members. It remains to be seen what exactly the camera improvements will be but according to some reports, it’s about smoothing out the bugs in the new camera modes introduced with the One UI 2.5 update.

LG is an innovative company that prefers to forge its own path – while others are pushing foldable designs, the LG Wing comes with an out of the box swivel design. The mechanism rotates the large 6.8” display to reveal a secondary display.

When opened, the phone forms a perfectly symmetrical T shape. How does that work? Let’s watch Zack from JerryRigEverything take it apart to find out.

This design has some unique challenges. LG used a kind of lubricated plastic to ensure the swivel motion goes smoothly. Also, the two halves are slightly concave creating a void, which prevents any dirt and sand getting caught between the halves from being dragged along and scratching the secondary display.

LG has tested the Wing’s swivel mechanism and says it will survive at leas...

Earlier this week we got our first glimpse of the revamped Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11. It focuses on creativity, stability and productivity and overhauls the look and feel of the UI. There’s also plenty of new customization options, enhanced security, Always-On Display functionality and enhanced support for third-party launchers. You can read more about all the new features in our cover-up here.

Today, we have the full update roadmap for devices eligible for the Realme UI 2.0 update. Notice that the list is specifically for the first wave of the Early Access rollout in India so it’s not final by any means. The Open Beta will be available at the end of October, and Realme says the stable release will be ready a month later – in late November.

Just a couple of days ago Amazfit unveiled the GTR 2 and GTS 2, a pair of long-lasting smart watches with blood-oxygen sensors. Now the company is teasing a journey to “Where style meets health”, which sounds like it is working on even more advanced health-tracking features.

We’re in for quite a wait, however, as the event will take place on October 27 – that’s right, over a month from now. What does Amazfit have in store to get the hype train going so early? We only have this vague image to work with for now.

Presumably, this is a close up of a round smartwatch, similar to the Amazfit GTR 2. Or maybe it is the GTR 2 itself, which is available only in China for now. This could be its global launch and (probably) the GTS 2 will tag along.

Whether an entirely new device will be...

The first 5G Pixel phone from Google is expected to launch soon and we’ve got a substantial new leak which gives us a set of official renders of the Pixel 4a 5G alongside its full spec list.

As a whole, expect a larger version of the Pixel 4a though with plenty of meaningful upgrades all around. The major differences being the larger 6.2-inch screen and the more powerful and 5G-ready Snapdragon 765G chipset. There’s also a secondary 8MP ultrawide camera and a larger 3,885mAh battery with 18W fast charging.

Oppo became the global smartphone partner of League of Legends last year and it is preparing for the next big event, the League of Legends World Championship 2020. The theme this year is “Be the Legend”.

To celebrate the event, the company will launch the Oppo Find X2 League of Legends Esports: World 2020 Edition (wow, that’s a mouthful), the Oppo Watch League of Legends Limited Edition as well as an unnamed IoT product. The festivities will also include an official song and a collaborative music video.

The LOL World Championship kicks off tomorrow (September 25) – until then the design of the phone is kept mostly a secret. Mostly, you can catch a glimpse of it at the end of the Take Over hype track. Here’s a still image:

Earlier this week vivo announced the first two members of its V20 series with the V20 and V20 Pro. Now we get a third, more affordable option dubbed V20 SE which brings toned down specs and a more aggressive price.

The V20 SE is built around a 6.44-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with a waterdrop notch and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

The phone comes in at 161.00×74.08×7.83mm and weighs in at 171 grams. The build is plastic throughout with the back housing a triple camera setup headlined by a 48MP primary shooter. The auxiliary modules are an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP depth helper. The selfie cam has a 32MP sensor.

We find the Snapdragon 665 chipset at the helm, paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage which is further expandable via microSD.

BOUGHT a pricey mask, got a Pret subscription, risked your life on public transport – only to be sent home from the office? Here’s how to cope with working in the kitchen again.

Take everything from the office home with you

Pick up all the files you might conceivably need for the next year. You might also like to take all the pens, handy things like scissors, the petty cash and the coffee machine if you can fit it in your bag. 

Immediately do less work

Now the novelty of working from home has worn off your motivation should dip accordingly. Ignore emails and stay in bed until half 10 if you like. You’re facing six months of isolation and awkward Zoom meetings so you can’t be expected to be enthusiastic.

Get out of tasks due to the ‘uncertainty’

Why did Samsung build the Galaxy S20 FE and S20 FE 5G? How did it decide what features to include? What features did it include? The answers to these questions and more can be found in the Q&A video below as well as the accompanying infographic.

Samsung wanted a device with the premium features of the S20 phones but a more affordable price to better suit the current economic climate. The team conducted customer surveys in the US, the UK, Germany, Australia and South Korea – the Top 3 features voted on by fans were camera, performance and display.

Watch the videos for more details including which of the six color options for the S20 FE was the most popular (again chosen by Samsung fans).
