The 5G BlackBerry could be ‘the most American-made phone out there’

[ad_1] In a conversation with Engadget, Franklin was eager to address some of these questions.

The original plan, according to Franklin, was to build the “the most […]

Google Pixel 5 leak hints at dual cameras and a fingerprint reader

[ad_1] None of these details are very surprising — of course the flagship would have the best features that the midrange Pixel 4a debuted, like the all-screen face. A fingerprint sensor also makes sense given Face Unlock is less convenient these days, and dual cameras already appeared on the Pixel 4. We still don’t know […]

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra review: Unabashedly over the top

[ad_1] Life with the S Pen There’s no shortage of amazing Android phones you can get for less than the price of a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. The OnePlus 8 Pro clocks in under $1,000. Sony’s oddball Xperia 1 ii, with a 4K screen and the fastest smartphone camera I’ve ever used, goes for about […]

Secret Service bought location data pulled from common apps

[ad_1] With Locate X, an agency like the Secret Service could, for instance, create a geo-fence around a crime scene.

Huawei’s expired US license is bad news for phone owners

[ad_1] After more than a year, the Commerce Department has stopped giving Huawei temporary licenses to keep supporting customers — and it’s not great news if you happen to have one of the company’s phones.

[ad_1] Motorola will announce its next major device, which the company says will “flip the smartphone experience once again,” next month.

Microsoft’s Surface Duo may launch with AT&T

[ad_1] The renders themselves don’t appear to share anything new, although they’re a friendly reminder that offering an Android device with Google apps also means agreeing to the search giant’s policies, including the presence of a Google search bar on one of the default home screens. The Duo might not be as expensive as you’d […]

Qualcomm reportedly asks US to let it sell chips for Huawei phones
