The Huawei Watch 2 was announced back in 2017 running Wear OS, but in the following years, they ditched Wear OS in favour of a less smart LiteOS. With LiteOS, you got what you were given, and you had to live with it. While that doesn’t sound appealing compared to Wear OS, with its apps, … Read more

Yesterday, Arm unveiled the next generation of its chipsets, which will likely roll out to phones in 2022.
