Here’s our first look at the Huawei Mate 70 series’ back design

Huawei launched the Mate 60 series in China at the end of August last year. Given this timeline, it’s expected that the company will reveal the successor around this time.

Why you shouldn’t buy cheap smartwatches

The appeal of a low-priced smartwatch can be tempting, but the saying “you get what you pay for” often holds true. While some budget options are decent, many inexpensive smartwatches cut corners on important features, durability, and overall user experience. Let’s delve into the reasons why investing a bit more in a quality smartwatch might be a wiser choice.

Tech YouTuber Sahil Karoul recently shared benchmark scores from a retail Pixel 9. His results reveal a significant performance gap between the Tensor G4 and its main competitor, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
