It’s really okay if you can’t keep track of Motorola‘s many flavors of Droid phone anymore. Four have been released this year alone: the Droid X2, Droid 3, Droid Bionic and Droid RAZR. Get ready to add a fifth to the pile too, as the Droid 4 has been revealed, detailed and tentatively dated for a late 2011 release.

The news comes by way of leaked info and specs obtained by Droid Life. It looks like the plan right now is to release the Droid 4 on Verizon on December 8, though consider that nothing more than a rumor until the company officially confirms it.

The device itself is very much real, however, as you can see in the images above. It’s like a mash-up of the Droid 3 and the RAZR, with a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, a 4-inch screen and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. There’s one notable difference, however, and it’s the one that Droid fans have been waiting for: 4G connectivity. The Droid brings you your data at a blazing fast rate thanks to its ability to make use of Verizon’s 4G LTE network. Stay tuned for further details, like price and a confirmed release date, once the official announcements roll in.

I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy A55 for almost two weeks and have now swapped my SIM card over to the Samsung Galaxy A35. These are the latest entries in Samsung's budget-minded Galaxy-A series. In all honestly, I can barely tell the difference between them.

Learning a new language no longer requires you to make time for formal classes because there are now several language learning apps that you can tap. One of them is Babbel, and you can currently get a lifetime subscription to the online learning platform for only $150 from StackSocial. That's $449 off its original price of $599, but we don't know how much time is remaining before the offer expires. If you want to take advantage of the 74% discount, it's highly recommended that you complete the transaction immediately.

Why you should buy the Babbel lifetime subscription
A lifetime subscription to Babbel not only unlocks the possibility of learning one or two new languages, as the platform encompasses a total of 14 languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Turkish, Dutch, Polish, Indonesia, Norwegian, Danish, and Russian.

This one Apple Fitness feature completely changed how I exercise

I have a confession to make: I'm not good at sticking to a workout routine. I love running, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), strength training, etc. In the moment of those exercises and in the post-workout euphoria, I feel amazing. But when it comes to waking up early in the morning to do these things before work? Well, that's where I really struggle.

This has been a problem for a while now. I go to bed with the goal of waking up early and going to the gym, but as I groggily open my eyes to snooze the alarm on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, I end up falling back asleep. And I've been repeating this over and over and over again.
