- Former Apple UI designer joins Facebook to lead product design team
It remains to be seen exactly what he’ll be involved with, but Facebook’s new Product Design Manager brings quite a background with him to the job. Until just a few months ago, Chris Weeldreyer was a UI Design Manager at Apple (a role held for over eight years) where, as The Next Web reports, he was responsible for the company’s iWeb and Numbers software, and has been named in a number of Apple’s patent applications. Before that, he worked in both hardware and software product development, having held positions at Frog Design, Pentagram and Cooper. No word from either company on the move, but Weeldreyer himself made the move official on his LinkedIn page — and, of course, his Facebook profile.

Realme 8 series incoming with 108MP camera
Less than five months after the announcement of its Realme 7 brand CEO Madhav Sheth has begun teasing its successor – the Realme 8. The news comes from a pair of tweets from the executive which outline an #InfiniteLeapWith8 and more interestingly a 108MP camera. We don’t get more details surrounding the new Realme 8 series though it’s safe to assume this will be the first Realme smartphone with a 108MP sensor. Work never stops at #realme. I am already working on #InfiniteLeapWith8! RT and reply with what you think it is about. pic.twitter.com/RmJiCocTgf— Madhav FutureX (@MadhavSheth1)...
“Hey Google” hotword isn’t working on Wear OS, but Google says it’s working on a fix
On Wednesday, a report from 9to5Google brought attention to a feature on Wear OS that hasn’t been working for months, according to a thread on Google’s Issue Tracker. Google has now responded that it is “aware of the issues some users have been encountering”. Google has also noted that it will “address these and improve the overall experience” with its partner OEMs. Using the “Hey Google” hotword should summon Google Assistant on a Wear OS smartwatch while the screen is active. However, despite the feature toggled on in the Assistant’s settings, it won’t respond for a command. You can...
SD888-powered Realme GT 5G will be priced under $465, 120Hz screen confirmed
The Realme GT 5G is coming on March 4 with a Snapdragon 888 SoC under the hood and will be priced below CNY2,999 ($465/€380). It will pack a Samsung-made 120Hz AMOLED screen with a fingerprint reader underneath for biometric authentication. These latest revelations come from Realme VP Mr. Xu Qi Chase, who posted on Weibo saying that pricing the GT 5G under CNY2,999 was a difficult feat.

Oppo Reno5 K 5G announced with Snapdragon 750G, 90Hz screen, and 65W charging
Oppo today added a new member to its Reno5 lineup dubbed the Reno5 K 5G. The Reno5 K 5G is built around a 6.43" FullHD+ 90Hz Super AMOLED screen and has a Snapdragon 750G SoC at the helm. The Oppo Reno5 K 5G boots Android 11-based ColorOS 11.1 and comes in two memory configurations - 8GB/128GB and 12GB/256GB. It doesn't have a microSD card slot, though, so you might want to go for the 256GB variant if you are someone who likes carrying around a vast library of offline music and takes a lot of photos and videos. Speaking of photos, the Reno5 K 5G has a total of five cameras onboard - a...
