This week we got our first glimpse of Google's upcoming Pixel 4a phone, and it looks like it could be a fitting successor to last year's fantastic Pixel 3a. It features a hole punch selfie cam, a fingerprint sensor, and a single camera setup. We don't know if it will check off every item on our Pixel 4a wishlist, but it's likely to be a much better value than the Pixel 4.
The end of the year is upon us, so we've rounded up a number of best-of lists, from best apps to most underrated phones, with everything in between. We've also published our predictions for the coming year with regards to processors, cameras, and the coming 5G revolution.
On the review side, we published our review of the 120Hz-0n-a-budget Redmi K30, and revisited our reviews of the Galaxy Tab S6, Fossil Hybrid HR, and Lenovo Chromebook C340.
