Beautiful concept design is what we hope the Lenovo Droid Turbo 3 will look like

While the likes of the Moto X, Moto Z, and Moto G have become staples of the Moto brand, they aren’t the only phones bearing the now-Lenovo-owned name. The Droid Turbo 2, for example, was launched late last year with some pretty excellent specs. And now it looks like the Droid Turbo 3 is on the way. While we have almost no information about the phone, we do have this beautiful concept design.

We previously thought we had leaked renders of the upcoming device, but it now seems as though those renders are in fact a concept design created by Toooajk. Still, considering how beautiful they are, we certainly wouldn’t complain if they ended up being real.

The images themselves were spotted on Chinese social media site Weibo, and show the device with a Hasselblad camera sensor and a super-sleek and stylish look that departs quite a bit from Lenovo’s current Moto-branded phones.

As you can see in the renders, the device seems to be aimed more at offering a sleek look that would suit a businessperson. It also appears that the phone would support Moto Mods, and a basic cover mod shows up in some of the renders.

Unfortunately, the renders really only show the back of the upcoming phone. We also don’t have any tech specs for the phone yet, beyond the 16MP camera sensor.

It’s still unclear if Lenovo is even working on a Droid Turbo 3, but if  so — and if previous Turbo phones are anything to go by — the device will offer some flagship-level specs. We should expect to see the Snapdragon 821 processor, at least 4GB of RAM, and plenty of storage. Last year’s Droid Turbo 2 boasted a Snapdragon 810 processor with 3GB of RAM and a hefty 3,760mAh battery. That device was launched in October 2015, so if there does end up being a Droid Turbo 3, we’re expecting it to be announced sooner rather than later.

I tracked my sleep with a smart display, ring, and watch. This is my favorite

Since I had a heart attack four years ago, I’ve been on a journey to understand my health. A crucial part of my recovery and focus has been my sleep, and it'smade even more important by the fact that my heart attack took place in the middle of the night while I was fast asleep. Thankfully, I woke up, but our sleep can tell us a lot about our underlying health.

Virtually every wearable now offers some form of sleep tracking, but like most things in technology, not all devices are created equal. Beyond just data, there’s also the question of which is most comfortable to track your sleep, which device gives you the most reliable data, and ultimately, how you can ensure you track your sleep wherever you are.

How to transfer your books from Goodreads to StoryGraph

Goodreads has been the only game in town for Android and iOS book-tracking for a long time now, and like most monopolies, it has grown old and fat. Acquired by Amazon in 2013, avid book readers have had lots to complain about in recent years, with the service languishing unloved, with no serious updates and an aging interface. It's been due some serious competition for a long time, and lo and behold, some has arrived. StoryGraph is a book-tracking app that offers everything you'll find on Goodreads but with an algorithm that lets you know about what you might love, and adds features any bibliophile will know are essential — like a Did Not Finish list.

The next iOS 18 update is on its way. Here’s what we know

When iOS 18.2 released just over a week ago, it unlocked a lot of long-awaited features like Image Playground, Visual Intelligence, and improvements to writing tools. Now, it seems like another update could be just around the corner: version 18.2.1.

MacRumors found evidence of the update in their analytic logs, a source that has supposedly revealed quite a few iOS versions before release. Given that this is a minor update, it isn't likely to come with new features or anything groundbreaking. Instead, it will most likely be targeted at bug fixes, although no specific problems have been named. You should expect this update to drop either in late December or early January, but a year-end release is more likely.
