Update 1 (01/30/2020 @ 2:04 AM ET): Fossil has launched the Hybrid HR in India for a price of ₹14,995 (~$210) onwards. Scroll to the bottom for more information. The article as published on November 8, 2019, is preserved as below.

While Fossil is primarily known for making traditional watches, the company has been releasing some really compelling smartwatches over the last couple of years. Even though some of Fossil’s smartwatches prioritize fashion over tech, their Sport smartwatch from last year was one of the first to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 3100 chip. Over the last couple of years, the popularity of Fossil’s smartwatches has grown to the extent that even Google was prompted to buy $40 million worth of smartwatch tech from the company earlier this year. Most recently, the company released its Gen 5 smartwatches featuring Snapdragon Wear 3100, 1GB of RAM, speakers and a lot more. And now, it has released a new lineup of hybrid smartwatches that include an analog dial and an always-on display.

The new Fossil Hybrid HR lineup seamlessly combines physical watch hands with a low-powered always on-display, offering the perfect blend of fashion and tech. The Hybrid HR features a monochromatic circular display in the center, which is capable of displaying crucial information like activity tracking data, weather information, and app notifications. It even offers heart rate tracking capabilities and the company claims that the watch can last over two weeks on a single charge. On top of that, the watch features fast-charging capabilities and can charge up to 80% in just an hour. The smartwatch has a 42mm dial, Bluetooth 4.2 low energy for connectivity, and 16MB of onboard storage. It’s water-resistant up to 3ATM and comes with a 2-year limited warranty.

Priced starting at $195, the new smartwatch is already up for sale on the company’s website and in select retail stores globally. However, it will be released in the Indian market on November 18th. The Fossil Hybrid HR is currently available in four different variants, with the Brown Leather and Black Silicone variants priced at $195, while the Rose Gold and Stainless Steel variants are priced at $215.

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer.

The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,...

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
