Qualcomm hinted that one of its new 64-bit processors would hit an Android device in late 2014 or early 2015, but it didn’t say which lucky manufacturers would use them. In early August, well-known leaker @upleaks posted a series of tweets, hinting that HTC will soon release a mid-range smartphone with one of Qualcomm’s 64-bit processors under the hood.

The device, code-named the HTC A11, supposedly features the 64-bit Snapdragon410 MSM8916 processor, which clocks in at 1.4GHz. It’s expected to be a variant of the existing Desire lineup and comes with other modest specs: a 4.7-inch display with a super low resolution of 854 x 480 pixels, ordinary speakers without Boom Sound, and low-res cameras. The back camera will only be a 5-megapixel shooter and the front-facing camera will only be 0.3-megapixels.

The A11 also looks more low end, with a shiny plastic back and rather plain design. It stands in obvious contrast to the high-end HTC One M8, which has a metal back and premium look to it. 

The A11 will supposedly run Android 4.4.2 with HTC’s Sense 6 interface layered on top. The tipster hinted that HTC may release the A11 at Sprint, where it will undoubtedly come at a low price to match the modest specs. It’s unclear when the new Desire smartphone will launch and if it will arrive in other markets.

Ever since the original Apple Watch, smartwatches as a whole have really taken off. Though Apple largely dominates the market, there are still plenty of non-Apple smartwatches to choose from.

I’ve been solely an Apple Watch user for the past decade, but I’ve been trying out a Google Pixel Watch 3 for the past couple of weeks. And, honestly, I kind of love it.

Apple does not assist third parties in unlocking iPhones, which has led many law enforcement agencies to rely on the Graykey forensics tool. A recent report from 404 Media indicates that this controversial product can now access the newest iPhone 16 models.

Should this be a concern for you? Almost certainly not, but it's still good to stay informed about how these things work. Here's a quick overview.

The wait for the iPhone SE 4 is almost over
iPhone SE

We know the iPhone SE 4 is on the way — that's been leaked over and over again. The question on everyone's mind is exactly when the new model will be released.

Previously, information pointed to a spring 2025 launch. Now, we can narrow that down further to March. The iPhone SE 4 is set to change how people see the SE series; rather than an outdated budget device, the latest model should be more similar to a stripped-down version of the flagships.
