If you’re confused by Nokia’s phone lineup and its fondness for decimal points, relief is at hand. HMD Global has revamped the Nokia phone range for 2021, and it’s both considerably simpler and more focused — if not necessarily what you were expecting.

The 2021 Nokia phone roster is divided into just three ranges, all of which center on longevity. The X-series represents the top of the line, with more advanced features, two-day battery life, three years of OS updates (including monthly security updates), and an extended warranty. The mid-range G-series pictured above is meant to be more accessible and promises three-day battery life, two years of OS updates and three years of monthly security fixes. The C-series aims at newcomers with “all day” battery and two years of quarterly security updates, although there are no promises for OS upgrades.

The Nokia X10 and X20 headline the 2021 models, although they’re low-to-mid-range phones. Both use 5G-capable Snapdragon 480 chips and sport 6.67-inch 1,080 x 2,400 displays. The X10 starts things off with a 48MP main camera, a 5MP ultra-wide cam, a 2MP macro cam, a 2MP depth sensor, and an 8MP hole-punch selfie shooter. You’ll also get between 4GB and 6GB of RAM, with 64GB to 128GB of expandable storage. Spring for the X20 and you’ll upgrade to a 64MP main camera, a 32MP front cam, and configurations that scale up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

The Nokia G10 and G20, meanwhile, are decidedly more modest entries to the 2021 line. Both use MediaTek processors (G25 in the G10, G35 in the G20) and revolve around 6.5-inch “HD+” screens. The G20 boasts a camera setup similar to the one in the X10, albeit in a teardrop notch for the front cam, while the G10 makes do with a 13MP primary camera and drops the ultra-wide sensor. You’ll get 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of expandable space on the G20, but the G10 starts with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.

The C10 and C20 (below) run Android 11 Go edition and are clearly designed to occupy the no-frills places in Nokia’s 2021 selection. The displays are largely similar to what you’ll find in the G-series, but you’ll get basic Unisoc quad- (C10) and octa-core (C20) chips, 1GB to 2GB of RAM, 16GB or 32GB of expandable storage, and single front and rear 5MP cameras.

You won’t have to wait too long to buy any of the 2021 Nokia devices, at least in some parts of the world. In the UK, the G10 will arrive first with a late April ship date and a £109.99 price. The G20 appears in May for £129.99. The X20 arrives at the same time starting at £299.99. You’ll have to wait until early June for the £249.99 X10 (plus a lower-priced variant from Three), although you’ll also have access to the C20 for just £79. There are no plans to ship the C10 in the UK.As you might have noticed, none of the 2021 Nokia phones announced so far are high-end devices. Unfortunately, there’s no equivalent to the 9 PureView or other models that would compete with rival flagships. That’s not necessarily an issue if you’re more interested in raw value than speed. However, we’d add that phones like the Realme 7 5G offer 120Hz displays and other perks for similar money. While Nokia’s battery life and lengthier support are important considerations, they’re not the only factors in your purchase.

Just this week, we told you about a new study revolving around teens in the US and their undying love for iPhones. Additionally, Tim Cook recently mentioned during an earnings call that there’s been a large increase in users leaving Android for the iPhone. Although Android is still the world’s biggest mobile operating system by a huge margin, it’s clear that the ship has a leak.

Samsung must not have missed this news. Seemingly in response, the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer quietly launched a new web app for iPhone users (via MacRumors). Samsung’s “iTest” app puts a mock version of Android onto an iPhone, giving the user a chance to get a feel for the Samsung Galaxy experience without needing to change hardware.

According to MacRumors, the iTest app is surprisingly robust. You can open apps, check out the app drawer, and even pay the Galaxy Store a visit. You’ll even see periodic dummy notifications to get a feel for what the overall experience is.

Of course, there are plenty of limitations. A lot of the apps have little functionality with most just bringing you to a static splash page. Your real notifications will also come in through iOS, not iTest, so that could ruin the experience a bit.

Still, it’s actually pretty cool to see One UI on an iPhone done this well with no installation necessary. Samsung has no qualms about going for the throat, either. For example, the Galaxy Store puts a lot of focus on the availability of Fortnite — which iPhone users can no longer play.

Time will tell if this strategy actually earns some converts from iOS to Android. However, you gotta hand it to Samsung for coming up with new ways to show iPhone users that things aren’t all that different on the other side of the fence.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium

The annual mega tech show CES is always full of amazing gadgets, but many of them are wild concepts that may be many years from going on sale -- if they ever do at all. But there's also a wealth of products being shown off that you will actually be able to buy soon, if not straight away.

Here then is our roundup of the best tech of CES 2021 that you'll actually be able to buy with your cold, hard cash this year.

First up is Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Titanium. It's the company's thinnest ever convertible device, packing a 13.5-inch display and will be available to order later this month starting at $1,899, which roughly converts to AU$2,460 or £1,400.

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 2 i

Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus Gen 2 i, meanwhile, packs an E Ink display on the outside of the lid, allowing you to check your calendar or email without needing to open the laptop and waste precious battery power.

It's an interesting idea and is expected to be available sometime in the first quarter of 2021, starting at $1,549.

Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro

The Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro earbuds are available now for $130 and offer a lightweight design, decent sound quality and noise canceling that's on a par with Apple's AirPods.

Asus Strix Scar 15

The Asus Strix Scar 15 boasts the fastest display on any gaming monitor, according to Asus, with a 360Hz refresh rate. That makes it a compelling option for hardcore gamers who demand faster displays to keep up with intense gameplay action.

Naturally it packs the latest hardware from Intel or AMD and a wealth of colorful LEDs all over it, because apparently that's what gamers need.

Asus hasn't announced pricing, but the laptop -- together with its larger 17-inch brother -- will be available sometime in the first half of the year.

Pocketalk S

The Pocketalk translator device can listen to a language being spoken and instantly translate it back to you -- and vice versa. We used it and it works extremely well, and it's been updated for CES 2021 with new languages -- it can translate 82 languages in more than 130 countries and regions.

The Pocketalk S (the company's flagship device) is available now for $299.

Samsung The Frame 2021

Samsung's The Frame TV is the company's attempt to make a wall-mounted TV that looks like you've hung up a beautiful painting, rather than a clunky TV. The new model hasn't had any improvements in picture quality or resolution (it's still a 4K display) but it's physically thinner, which will help achieve the illusion that it's not really a TV at all.

Pricing has yet to be announced but it's due to go on sale later this year.

Google's $2.1 billion purchase of Fitbit earned the EU's conditional approval, the Competition Commission said Thursday. It follows the Commission's investigation into the company's promise not to use Fitbit users' health data for targeted ads.

Under the Commission's conditions, the search giant can't use the data of EU Fitbit users for advertising, it must maintain a technical separation between Fitbit and Google data, and make sure EU users have a clear choice about using health data for other Google services.

"We can approve the proposed acquisition of Fitbit by Google because the commitments will ensure that the market for wearables and the nascent digital health space will remain open and competitive," European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said in a statement.

"The commitments will determine how Google can use the data collected for ad purposes, how interoperability between competing wearables and Android will be safeguarded and how users can continue to share health and fitness data, if they choose to."

Google announced the Fitbit acquisition in November 2019 to give it a competitive edge against Apple, Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi in device sales, by expanding beyond phones to offer fitness trackers and smartwatches. In October, rival wearable makers reportedly raised concerns that Google's promises on using Fitbit's data for advertising don't go far enough.

Apple has just launched the iPhone 12, but needless to say, the company is already working on the next-generation model, and by the looks of things, there’s a good chance this device actually launches as per the typical release calendar.

In other words, the Cupertino-based firm isn’t planning a delay for the iPhone 13 and the new model could therefore land in September.

Apple typically announces new iPhone models in September, with sales then kicking off later the same month.

The timing was changed for the first time with the release of the iPhone X, which went on sale in October, while the launch of the iPhone 12 this year was divided into separate releases in October and November.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple believes the production of the A15 chip, which is projected to power the iPhone 13, could arrive according to the timing calendar, and this is an indication the new models could also be here in September.
Upgrades for all iPhone 12 models

Of course, Apple itself hasn’t said a single thing about the iPhone 13 launch date, and it’s obviously way too early to discuss such details, as everything can change overnight in case something goes wrong.

But by the looks of things, the Cupertino-based firm is hopeful the global health issue would be resolved next year, and this would allow the company to launch the iPhone 13 in September. Needless to say, the company is very optimistic, but as we’ve learned already, the evolution of the pandemic is hard to anticipate, so it remains to be seen if this plan can be completed next year.

Until then, the iPhone 13 lineup is expected to bring upgrades to all models launched this year, with bigger changes planned for 2022 when Apple could even take the wraps off a foldable iPhone.
