With high-end specs and a mid-range price, you can take the fight to the iPhone 11.
This phone includes the same Snapdragon 865 chipset that was used in the original S20 series, except that it is paired with just 6GB of RAM instead of the standard 12GB. Its 6.5-inch Super AMOLED screen can be updated at speeds as high as 120Hz, but its resolution is limited to Full HD. Its camera hump even contains a standard 12-megapixel wide camera with an f / 1.8 aperture, dual-pixel autofocus, and optical image stabilization.

Echelon makes connected exercise equipment similar to Peloton, but with more emphasis on lower prices. Earlier this week, the company said it had partnered with Amazon to create a lower-cost connected spinning bike that’s available exclusively to Prime subscribers. The $ 500 Echelon Ex-Prime eliminates many of the extras but keeps the notion of connected fitness intact. “The Prime Bike was developed in collaboration with Amazon, with the goal of creating an incredible connected bike for under $ 500,” said Lou Lentine, president and CEO of Echelon Fitness in the initial press release.
However, any collaboration with Amazon was not really happening. An Amazon spokesperson told Engadget that the bike has nothing to do with them. The bike is no longer available for purchase and numerous references to Amazon have been removed from the list.
