Realme has unveiled the “Race,” one of the first phones to use the Snapdragon 888 chipset.
Details are scarce, but it will boast gaming-friendly performance and speedy 5G.
New details of a “Koi phone” have now also emerged.

Update: December 24, 2020 (1:10 AM ET): Realme has teased a new Snapdragon 888 phone apparently inspired by koi. Dubbed the “Koi phone” on Weibo, the device will also sport Qualcomm’s latest high-end chipset judging by the “888 red envelopes” or prizes the company is giving away.

Realme previously confirmed that the Race name is just a codename, so it’s possible that Koi is the final name (or that we’re looking at two different phones). Nevertheless, it seems the firm’s early 2021 flagship could make a splash either way.

Original article: December 1, 2020 (1:15 PM ET): Qualcomm only just unveiled the Snapdragon 888, but that isn’t stopping phone makers from boasting about using the new chip. Realme has teased the “Race,” its codename for a new flagship-class smartphone that will be one of the first phones to use the Snapdragon 888 inside.

The company isn’t sharing many details about the phone — not surprising when Qualcomm itself won’t share more about the Snapdragon 888 until a December 2nd event. It’s poised to be a powerhouse for “gaming, video, and communication,” however, and you can expect speedier 5G through the X60 modem.

The “leaks” attached to the announcement provide a few extra clues. The design appears to have quad rear cameras, and it won’t skimp on memory. Realme hinted the phone would pair the Snapdragon 888 with 12GB of RAM, so this will be a higher-end handset aimed at enthusiasts. You can also expect 256GB of storage and Realme’s version 2.0 UI.

Qualcomm said the 888 would boast faster graphics with high refresh rates, better AI performance and updated image processing power.

The firm didn’t reveal a price or release date for the Race. We wouldn’t count on it being the very first to ship, however. Samsung’s Galaxy S21 is rumored to debut as soon as January, and it might well beat Realme’s phone in bringing the Snapdragon 888 to market. Don’t be surprised if you have to wait a few months to get this device in your hands.

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

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

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.
