The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e unveiled back in February 2019 with Android 9 Pie is receiving the Android 11 update with One UI 3.1 – Samsung’s latest custom Android skin.

vivo V21 5G certified in Indonesia ahead of launch

The vivo V20 launched last October and apparently the Chinese company is already hard at work on its successor, the V21 5G. As the name implies, this one will support 5G networks, whereas the V20 was 4G only.

The V21 5G was certified in Indonesia with model number V2050. The launch could now be just around the corner. Since the V20 used a 7-series Snapdragon chipset, perhaps the V21 will do the same, in which case expect to see either the 765G or the 780G.

According to recent rumors, we’ll also see an upgraded camera setup on the V21 compared to its predecessor, which…

Remember the Asus ROG Phone 5 and how it snapped in half when subjected to the traditional bend test? Perhaps you had higher hopes for Lenovo’s just announced Legion Duel 2. Will this one be the 2021 gaming phone that’s not only very gaming-y, but can also withstand a serious bend?

Everything starts off as you’d expect, the screen glass is nothing out of the ordinary, scratching at level 6 on the Mohs hardness…

The SmartTag+ features the same basic design as the regular Galaxy Tag but comes in only two color options – black and grey. The added UWB chip allows users to track their belongings with greater accuracy compared to Bluetooth. SmartTag+ can also leverage both UWB and Bluetooth for AR tracking which guides you to…
