We’ll have to wait a while longer for the next HTC flagship, but the Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer did take the wraps off a new budget device at CES this year. The HTC Desire 320 replaces the year-old 310 and offers a slight spec bump over its predecessor.

This chunky, entry-level Android smartphone sports a 4.5-inch LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels. It has the same quad-core 1.3GHz MediaTek processor as the 310. There’s also a 5-megapixel camera, a simple 0.3-megapixel selfie camera, and 1GB of RAM. HTC has boosted the internal storage from 4GB up to 8GB and there’s room for a microSD card expansion (up to 32GB).

It runs Android 4.4 KitKat with HTC’s Sense UI on top. You’ll also find an FM radio built-in to the 320, and it has a decent-sized 2,100mAh battery. Color choices are limited to vanilla white and dark gray. That’s about all there is — sadly it doesn’t support 4G.

Precise release dates, details, and prices were not revealed, but it’s definitely coming to the U.K. and Germany and it’s sure to be cheap.

The best Google Pixel 8a screen protectors in 2024

The Google Pixel 8a is Google's latest smartphone, and while it's not a match for Google's flagship phones, the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, it's not meant to be. The Pixel 8a is a midrange powerhouse, with the Tensor G3 processor, a showstopping camera, and the advanced smarts of Google's Gemini Nano AI model.

But none of that is worth squat if you can't see it. The display is a vital part of any smartphone, and the Pixel 8a's 6.1-inch OLED panel is a beauty. It has a 120Hz refresh rate, and a much higher brightness to boot, making it the equal of some of the best phones you can grab in the midrange market. But all that tech should be protected. Here are the best Google Pixel 8a screen protectors to keep your phone's screen safe from scratches, dirt, and smears.

Apple made an outrageous change to its new iPads

After a year-long drought of iPads, Apple finally revealed the new iPad Air and iPad Pro models during its Let Loose event on May 7. This was a unique announcement because it broke some old traditions; the iPad Air now comes in two sizes: an 11-inch and 13-inch, just like the iPad Pro. But these new iPads are also breaking another longtime tradition: They won’t come with iconic Apple stickers. Gasp.

According to 9to5Mac, Apple Store teams received a memo where Apple explained that the iconic Apple stickers won’t be included inside the boxes of the new iPad Air and iPad Pro. The reasoning? As part of Apple’s environmental goals, it is trying to ensure that its packaging is completely free of plastic.
