With an average 4.5 stars out of 5 rating from nearly 35,000 different reviews, the $36 Willful Smart Watch is not only one of the highest-rated, but also one of the cheapest smartwatches you can buy through Amazon. It’s also one of many extremely similar models, from companies like Popglory, Letsfit, Vigorun, Judneer, Lifebee, and IdealRoyal. No, I’ve never heard of them either. Trending in Mobile: What is 5G? 5G Network Coverage Map This doesn’t suggest awfulness. The Willful, astonishingly, is also the number one best-selling smartwatch on Amazon U.K. (where it has another 17,000 reviews and a 4.5-star average), so surely it’s a hidden gem amongst the sea of similar-but-lesser models? I thought it best to find out, but my expectations remained subterranean. Shockingly, and perhaps disappointingly, it turned out to be far better than it has any right to be. However, please don’t take this as a … [Read more...] about I bought the cheapest smartwatch on Amazon — here’s how bad it is

Qualcomm is making it easier to single out devices that take advantage of the company’s many audio enhancements, by introducing Snapdragon Sound. It’s not a single piece of tech or innovation, but rather a stamp of approval given to smartphones, headphones, and wireless earbuds which include particular Qualcomm audio technologies. To gain a Snapdragon Sound stamp, a device will require some of the following components inside, including a Snapdragon 8-series chipset , one of Qualcomm’s Bluetooth audio chipsets, Qualcomm’s active noise canceling (ANC) technology, AptX Voice and AptX Adaptive support , and to use both Qualcomm’s Aqstic codec and its Audio and Voice Communication Suite.
