Mobile Hardware & Connectivity

Motorola is reportedly preparing to launch a phone featuring a reverse wireless charging capability, a feature currently exclusive to Apple Google devices. This move could position Motorola ahead of rivals like Samsung, who are allegedly rejecting BOE panels for the upcoming Galaxy S27 due to cost considerations, opting instead for more expensive, proprietary displays. Samsung, however, has confirmed the development of the Galaxy Ring 2, with rumors suggesting an early 2027 release and improved battery life, indicating continued investment in the wearables market. Meanwhile, Commodore's Callback 8020 is available with a day-one discount until June 30th, offering consumers a new option in the niche tech market.
