When Lenovo announced its Project Limitless laptop would be the world’s first 5G PC at Computex 2019, the company was indeed ahead of its competition. Today at CES 2020 though, Lenovo has fallen slightly behind. HP and Dell have both already announced 5G-capable PCs that not only support the latest connectivity standards, but look good, to boot. Lenovo’s Yoga 5G, meanwhile, still looks…
Like many of us, you probably have hundreds and thousands of photos on your phone or the cloud, never to be seen again. Sure, you could print and hang them, but if you ever want to change photos, that can be a pain. A smart display can double as a digital photo frame, but…
Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus is a laptop that doubles as a Kindle
January 6, 2020
It wouldn’t be CES if Lenovo didn’t have a bevy of new laptops to announce, but I can’t say we saw the company’s new ThinkBook Plus coming. On one level, it’s pretty prosaic — it’s available with a 13.3-inch matte, full HD IPS…
Alcatel 3L, 1S, 1V and 1B go official
January 6, 2020
An unfortunate consequence of TCL’s approach to smartphone manufacturing is a rather confusing portfolio. The company just unveiled Alcatel 3L, 1S, 1V and 1B even though we have seen all of these model numbers in the past except the 1B. Either way they are all new phones even if they reuse the names of the company’s old offerings.
We start with the Alcatel 3L. Like its name suggests…
At CES 2020, Alcatel has launched four new Android smartphones designed for emerging markets with the Alcatel 1S, 1V, 1B, and 3L. Here’s what you need to know.
Starting with the Alcatel 3L, the focus in on the camera…

January 6, 2020
It’s been more than seven months since I first laid eyes on Lenovo’s foldable tablet PC prototype, and the company is now ready to launch the world’s first laptop with a folding screen. The device now has a name — the ThinkPad X1 Fold — and…
Audi’s ‘empathetic’ AI:Me is about relaxing while commuting
January 6, 2020
Commuting is the worst part of driving. It’s a stress-inducing piece of hell that many of us endure on a daily basis. Audi aims to eliminate that stress with a tiny self-driving car that takes you on a virtual journey while you’re sitting in gridlock.
The AI:Me (pronounced Amy) is the automaker’s “empathetic mobility partner.” With level-4 abilities, the…
In May at IFA 2019, Lenovo previewed what it called “the world’s first foldable PC.” But the product didn’t have a name, price tag, or ship date (just 2020). We only knew it was part of Lenovo’s flagship ThinkPad X1 line and that it would arrive in 2020. At CES…

New Android 10 beta update arrives to Galaxy S9 and S9+
January 6, 2020
Samsung launched its Android 10 beta program for the Galaxy S9-series and the Note9 in late November and has since pushed a couple of updates and today it adds one more, which also includes the latest January 2020 security patch.
The main order of the day are bug fixes. The update resolves an issue with the Secure Folder locking out some users and removes the unwanted sound when performing sound…
