What’s new about the new T-Mobile JUMP Plan? Now, for clarity, T-Mobile’s original JUMP is all about upgrades. It lets users upgrade their devices as often as two times a year.

That plan only allows users to “jump” to a new device more frequently under certain conditions....

Motorola isn’t a brand that releases many high-end phones and also doesn’t have a phenomenal track record when it comes to delivering firmware updates. The company pushed the Android 12 update first for the 2020-launched mid-range Moto G Pro and the Moto G30 from last year, ahead of the more powerful Moto G100 and Moto G200 5G. This itself hints that Motorola’s update schedule is all over the place, and there isn’t actually a schedule for rolling the updates out....

This is a big deal, and actually the earliest that an Android version has rolled out in quite some time. Last year, Android 12 rolled out in October, while the previous few years it rolled out just after Labor Day. So this must mean that it’s pretty bug-free, which would be nice to see. Considering how bug-ridden the Pixel 6 series was when it launched last fall. What does this mean for users?...

It carries a 1440p resolution and uses an IPS panel, so it should be excellent for providing anti-glare. Something which could be especially important during heated and competitive gaming moments. One of the key aesthetic features appears to be the addition of a lighting system that can project the Agon logo onto the desk surface. If this sounds familiar, it’s because you’ll see similar effects on some of ASUS’s ROG monitors....

This camera does, after all, come with some of the best features available in the space. That includes a strong Night Vision mode. And everything else from smart home integration for footage viewing or streaming and two-way talk interactions. It also ships with a built-in privacy shutter.

9to5Google reports that Assistant stops recognizing commands after it responds to the user’s query. In its original form, the feature keeps the microphone on for around 10 seconds for follow-up commands, but that does not seem to be the case. Measures like rebooting or toggling the feature on/off won’t fix the issue This means that users will have to either tap the microphone or say “Hey Google” again to pass down a follow-up command....
