  • LG will reportedly launch its rollable smartphone in March 2021.
  • The company previously teased the design at the LG Wing launch.

Rumors and an official tease point to LG launching a rollable smartphone some time in the future, dubbed Project B for now. This is said to offer a slide-out screen on the side that could enable a tablet-sized experience in your pocket.

Now, Korean outlet The Elec reports that this rollable smartphone will launch in March 2021. This echoes the “early 2021” launch window touted by the publication earlier this year.

There isn’t much else to know about the Project B device just yet, but it’s believed that LG will produce the device itself rather than relying on an original design manufacturer (ODM). Speaking of ODMs, The Elec claims that the LG Velvet 2 — or whatever the successor is called — will be outsourced.

Waiting for a more traditional high-end device? Well, the publication notes that LG’s next flagship phone, code-named Rainbow, will be launched in Q1 2021. It suggests that the new phone will be equivalent to the LG V series in terms of specifications. So we’d expect a Snapdragon 875 chipset and other flagship garnishings.

Nevertheless, between the rollable smartphone, Velvet 2, and Rainbow, it looks like the Korean brand might have a varied lineup in 2021. The rollable phone in particular could be a great answer to foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold 2, offering a large screen on demand. Hopefully the slide-out screen is more durable than foldable phones though.

5 best dialer apps and contacts apps for Android

Update: This list currently has Drupe as an entrant. It is a really good contacts and dialer app. However, recent security vulnerabilities are causing a big fuss about the app . The security vulnerabilities are gone now. Thus, we’re reinstating the app to our list with a word of caution to our readers. Hit the link to learn more. Dialer apps and contacts apps are a bit of a niche market. In most cases, the stock dialer and contacts app is more than good enough most of the time. However, there are some cases where it may be necessary. The Note 8 occasionally freezing while using the contacts app is a good example. In any case, there are a bunch of decent options, but only a few really good ones. Also, we considered doing separate lists for contacts apps and dialer apps. However, generally speaking, if you get one, you get the other too. Both lists would pretty much have the same apps. Thus, we’ve consolidated it into a single list here. Here are the best dialer apps and contacts a

Huawei Watch Fit hands on: The skinny Apple Watch

The Huawei Watch Fit looks like what you’d get if you threw a Huawei Band 4 Pro and a Huawei Watch GT 2 into an Apple Watch blender. It’s arguably a more fashion-forward wearable than a traditional fitness tracker or standard smartwatch, but it still packs enough smarts to fit in the “Huawei Watch” line rather than the “Huawei Band” family. Let’s take a closer look.

I’m a fan of a chunky watch personally, but the diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. Beyond the eye-catching Cantaloupe Orange you see here, the Watch Fit also comes in Sakura Pink, Graphite Black, and Mint Green. The diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. I’m less enamored by the unoriginal styling. It may lack creativity but will

Here’s a sneak peek at the design of the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition

Credit: OnePlus New teasers of the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition hint at the phone’s design. They show a large, horizontally placed rectangular camera housing. There’s also plenty of Cyberpunk branding on the back panel of the phone. OnePlus has announced the launch date and time for the Cyberpunk 2077 themed OnePlus 8T . The phone will be revealed in full on November 2 at 2 PM local time in China (2 AM ET). But that’s not all OnePlus has given us. The company has also posted a teaser image of the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition on Weibo , giving us a hint of what to expect from its design. The image shows the back of the phone, but it’s too dark to really tell anything. We popped the photo in an image editor, and after tweaking its brightness and contrast a bit, saw what the back panel design could look like.
