It’s the Motorola Edge 20 Pro’s turn to get torn down on video It was just yesterday when we brought you a video teardown/disassembly of the Motorola Edge (2021), a phone that became available today in the US (and is meant for the North American market). If you’re elsewhere, though, that may not be useful to you as Motorola won’t be selling that model in any other places.

What it is selling, though, is the Edge 20 Pro, announced in late July and released in mid-August in specific countries. This phone is more intriguing, as it sports a flagship level chipset (for 2020 at least), and a periscope zoom camera. Luckily the same PBKreviews YouTube channel…

Snapdragon Wear 5100 to stick with Cortex-A53 cores

Snapdragon Wear 5100 to stick with Cortex-A53 cores Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 4100 series chipsets feel painfully outdated in terms of efficiency, especially since they target the form factor that is the most constrained in terms of battery. The company allegedly has a new design in the pipeline that will address that concern, though it feels like a half measure.
