This week Google I/O 2021 is scheduled to deliver new news about Google, Android, Chrome, and everything in-between. In less than 24 hours from the moment this article is set to be published, Google I/O 2021 will begin, starting with a keynote address. This year, Google suggests they'll focus on their mission to "organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."
It could be time, at long last, for a Pink iPhone. It'd be the most major color release for an iPhone since the original big-time color release, in white! That was a big deal, back then, because Apple was just on the bleeding edge of colors and materials for devices with releases as wide as the iPhone. Now, here in 2021, Apple has the whole world of color at their fingertips.

The Sharp Aquos R6 was revealed today with a set of features that make the rest of the smartphone world look silly. The Aquos R6 works with a 6.6-inch WUXGA+ IGZO OLED display with Dolby Vision, 2000 nit brightness, and the ability to reach up to 240 frames per second (image refresh rate). This device was co-engineered with Leica, which means we've got some intense camera power in the mix, too.
With the OnePlus 9 series, which was launched in March, now settled in the market, some people may have started fidgeting over the company's next phone or phones. After all, OnePlus spun off a new series last year, one that's designed to cater to mid-tier markets and lower. The distinction between the different OnePlus Nord phones can be a bit confusing, especially between the OnePlus Nord and OnePlus Nord 10, but it seems that the company isn't shying away from adding to that confusion with the OnePlus Nord CE.
Audio-only social media platform Clubhouse has been at the center of attention of the Internet since last year. While it enjoys a certain level of popularity, the network itself has been very limited in who it is able to reach. Clubhouse opened its doors to a few Android users last week but, in contrast to its pace in the past months, it is quickly expanding the app's availability to everyone in the world. That is, presuming you already have an invitation to join the still exclusive club.
There was a time when Samsung was close to rival Nokia in terms of the number of confusing handsets but the company promised to consolidate its smartphone lines. Instead, it now has a confusing number of handsets under Galaxy A, Galaxy M, and even some remaining Galaxy J families. The confusion even continues with variants of the same model, like the Galaxy A22 4G and 5G models that seem to offer a mixed bag of features, at least based on this latest leak.
Thursday saw the leak of the Pixel 6 and its rather controversial design which, given Google's past phones, isn't exactly a surprise. While some people may not be that impressed by the way the phone will try to catch attention, the software on it might be less divisive. Android 12 has already been leaked to usher in a new design language but the final look that's being shown off in this latest leak really puts a new different spin on those changes.
Google Photos has brought a whole new dimension to treasuring cherished memories ever since it first burst into the scene in 2015. Right from that time, the photo sharing and cloud storage service has been popular for its free unlimited storage. Users have enjoyed this feature all these years, saving the most important moments with utter piece of mind - not having to worry about storage space running out on their device.
It wouldn’t be an understatement to say, foldable phones have come of age in 2021. After the initial quirks, the industry has steadied itself to present a viable option for consumers wanting bigger screen real estate from their handhelds. Foldable phones are still an exclusive device and pretty expensive in comparison to the flagship smartphones, but considering their advantages, the phones like Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Motorola Razr 2020 have carved a niche for themselves.
Apple appears to have pinpointed one of the most influential Android hardware designers of the last decade in Scott Croyle. This guy was the head of HTC's design team when they created the HTC One M7 - he was also a founder of the company Nextbit, creators of the Nextbit Robin. A report this week details the timing and details surrounding the designer's joining Apple.
HMD Global isn't just making Android phones with Nokia's name on them, it is also making feature phones with Nokia's name on them. The company has been reviving Nokia's most iconic handsets and nothing probably gets more iconic than the clamshell form-factor that is always depicted on TV and movies back in the days. That revival arrived with the Nokia 2720 Flip back in 2019 and that same phone is finally arriving in the US as the Nokia 2720 V Flip, courtesy of Verizon.
