See Motorola’s latest updates to its rollable phone concept
Motorola Rizr bottom.

Motorola is refining the exciting Rizr concept smartphone shown during Mobile World Congress (MWC) earlier this year, according to a patent filed in the U.S. in November.

Boost Mobile’s 5G network is becoming a real threat to other carriers
Boost Mobile store.

Boost Mobile has always been seen as a smaller phone service provider, but the trade-off of that is the lower prices it offers. The company has now announced major upgrades to its growing 5G network.

Previously, Boost Mobile operated as an MVNO (or mobile virtual network operator). In other words, Boost didn't have its own towers — it sort of piggybacked off the towers of other networks.
