Nothing\u2019s budget-friendly sub-brand, CMF, is getting experimental with its latest device lineup<\/a>. There\u2019s a smartphone, watch and earbuds, but I\u2019m most intrigued by the CMF Phone 1. The back cover is interchangeable, so users can swap to different colors and designs on the fly. The company says the removable cover makes accessing the phone\u2019s internal components easy for repairs.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also an accessory point on the back cover, which when unscrewed, can attach to fold-out stands, card holders and lanyards. It\u2019s like a customizable case already part of your phone. That speaks to me, someone who won\u2019t shut up about <\/a> for iPhone and Android phones <\/a>.<\/p>\n This pseudo-modular design is far cooler than anything else listed on the phone\u2019s spec sheet (8-core MediaTek Dimensity 7300 5G processor, 6.67-inch Super AMOLED display flagship-grade 50MP main camera), but it\u2019ll be joined by companion earbuds and a smartwatch.<\/p>\n The companion watch has multiple band styles, but users can also swap out the bezel to \u201cswitch fluidly between styles to suit any occasion.\u201d Meanwhile, the second-gen CMF earbuds have a giant control dial on the case that can be assigned to volume, skip tracks or anything else you might want to do with the buds. Available now, the CMF Phone 1 costs $200, and the watch and buds launch on July 11th.<\/p>\n Oh and set your alarms for tomorrow<\/a>, because Samsung Unpacked 2024 is happening. It’s time for foldables.<\/p>\n \u2014 Mat Smith<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u200b\u200bYou can get these reports delivered daily direct to your inbox. <\/em>Subscribe right here!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Amazon has revealed an all-new Echo Spot ahead of Prime Day. It\u2019s very much like the original Echo Spot that came out in 2017. Has anything changed in the interim? Yes, the front face is now split between a hemispherical display and speaker. Amazon says the new model has better sound and a sharper display. And it\u2019s still a pretty simple alarm clock. While the RRP is $80, it\u2019s already on sale for $45.<\/p>\n Continue reading.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Scalpers have used a security researcher\u2019s findings to reverse-engineer \u201cnontransferable\u201d digital tickets from Ticketmaster and AXS, allowing transfers outside their apps. The workaround was revealed in a lawsuit AXS filed in May against third-party brokers adopting the practice.<\/p>\n Ticketmaster and AXS lock ticket resales inside their platforms, preventing transfers on third-party services, like SeatGeek and StubHub. Although the companies claim the practice is strictly a security measure, it also conveniently<\/em> allows them to control how and when their tickets are resold. Hackers have used the research findings (read up on the saga <\/a>, courtesy of 404 Media<\/em>) to shift tickets across and resell them.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
