Fast Charge ep. 29: New BlackBerry, ZTE Axon 20 & Nubia Watch
This week on Fast Charge,Dom Preston,Alex ‘Toddy’ Walker-Todd,Hannah CowtonandLewis Paintergive their thoughts on the revival of BlackBerry, the first phone with an under-display camera, and the flexible Nubia Watch.
BlackBerry is back, back again, after startup OnwardMobility purchased a license to the brand with plans to launch anew phonewith a physical keyboard in 2021. The announcement comes just months after TCL called time on a similar deal it had used to launch a few BlackBerry phones, though the last one to actually hit the market was theKey2 LEback in 2018.
If that’s a blast from the past, ZTE is bringing us into the future with the announcement of an upcoming launch for theAxon 20: the first phone to come out with a fully hidden under-display camera, so you get a genuine full-screen display.
Finally, Lewis has been reviewing theNubia Watch, a flexible OLED smartwatch that just launched on Kickstart. The follow-up to the iffyNubia Alpha protoype, the new watch has a refined design and a couple new features, but has it improved enough to earn your cash?
