Motorola is all set to launch new smartphones at an event on February 23. It is said that the company may be looking forward to launching four new smartphones, namely - Moto G8, Moto G8 Power, Moto G Stylus and the Moto Edge+. Now, more information regarding the Moto G Stylus has surfaced online. The smartphone has leaked in live images, giving us our first look at the front of the handset. The latest development comes from Twitter user Gustavo Gonzalez who allegedly has the pre-production unit of the Moto G Stylus. The image reveals the front panel of the handset. It is seen sporting a punch-hole display alongside a stylus. The latter looks pretty basic and does not appear to have any buttons for added functionality like Samsung’s S pens. One of the images show the stylus sitting beside the phone that has the Notes app opened on it. However, it is unclear if this is an exclusive Moto app. Another leaked image shows a device that reads "Finish configuring your Moto G7". Thi

The existence of Realme fitness band was confirmed by Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth during his latest #AskMadhav episode. He confirmed that the product will be launched in India next month.

That all-essential selfie camera on top of the display is the biggest reason why we see notches of different kinds and shapes on smartphones today. While we’ve seen many different workarounds for the ‘notch problem’, we have yet to see a workaround that puts the selfie camera behind the display. Nokia, it seems, could be the first one to come up with such a technology on its upcoming flagship smartphone. According to a tweet from online tipster Nokia anew, Nokia is currently “testing” its “under-the-display front camera” on the the Nokia 9.2 PureView. If Nokia succeeds in its venture, then the Nokia 9.2 PureView will be one of the first smartphones in the market to feature such technology and, hopefully, be more successful than previous models in the PureView family. Apart from wanting to learn how it works, smartphone critics such as ourselves will also want to understand just how ‘Pure’ the ‘View’ produced by the hidden camera is.

Apple just got done with its earnings call for the quarter, ending on December 2018, declaring it to be a record-setting quarter. The company reported a quarterly revenue of $91.8 billion, a 9 percent gain over the same quarter from last year. According to Apple, 61 percent of the quarter’s revenue came from international markets. A closer look at the revenue numbers from Apple’s earnings report sheds light on some very interesting revelations. For example, while Apple says that 61 percent of the revenue came from markets outside of the U.S, almost 60 percent of the revenue was generated by the iPhone alone. Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the strong demand for the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Pro during the holiday season was a strong contributor to the company’s record-setting growth. For perspective, of the $91.8 billion revenue, $55.9 billion was generated by iPhone sales, alone.
