Motorola to release Moto G60 and Moto G40 Fusion on April 20 in India
by Jay Bonggolto
It has been quite some time since Motorola last introduced a smartphone in India. The company launched the Moto G9 in the country in August 2020 for ₹11,499, featuring a Snapdragon 662 SoC, 48MP camera, and a 5,000mAh battery with 20W fast charging support, among other features.
Later this month, Motorola is set to unveil two new devices in India as part of its G series. The new phones are the Moto G40 Fusion and Moto G60, which the firm teased today on its Instagram account. The handsets will be officially announced on April 20 in India.
Prior to the official unveiling, Motorola spilled the beans on some of the key specs of these handsets. The G40 Fusion is apparently the basic model between the two with 64MP triple camera. On the other hand, the G60 features a 108MP camera. That said, they have the same camera design on the back.
Both smartphones are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 732G SoC, a chipset often associated with improved gaming experience. Both devices also have the same display. The G60 and G40 Fusion sport a 6.8-inch display with support for HDR10 and 120Hz refresh rate. There's also a punch-hole cutout on the screen for the selfie camera.
Motorola's teaser didn't mention anything about the phones' prices yet. The devices will be available to purchase via Flipkart.

Microsoft Edge Canary is now available on Android with a new UI update
by Jay Bonggolto
Microsoft has quietly rolled out Edge Canary on Android with a fresh user interface, among other changes. The browser's Canary channel runs version 91 and it introduces a host of features such as access to experimental flags.
The latest build has version number 91.0.858.0 and Microsoft promises to release new builds every day. The Canary build was first spotted by a Reddit user and picked up by Aggiornamenti Lumia.
It's worth noting that Edge Canary on Android has a similar user experience and shell as the regular Edge browser for mobile. For example, it has the same page layout options as the regular Edge. However, the Canary channel does not have the option to view your reading list. It also has a different menu layout compared to the existing Edge mobile browser.
Today's release doesn't entirely come as a surprise seeing as the software giant announced last month that it planned to transition to a common codebase for the desktop, Android, and iOS versions later this year to streamline the development of any new features. The way things are at present, this task needs to be done three times due to the different codebases for Android, iOS, and the desktop.
If you want to try out the preview channel for Edge on Android, it is now available to download via the Google Play Store.

Mouth-watering user concept of Windows 10 File Explorer has Reddit salivating
by Usama Jawad
File Explorer in Windows 10 is an essential program that is widely utilized by users of the operating system. While Microsoft updates it from time to time, the changes are usually minor, and related to icon redesigns. This is probably why user concepts of File Explorer surface frequently, re-imagining what the program could look like, should Microsoft decide to fully redesign it at some point.
Today, we are taking a look at a new and sleek user concept for File Explorer created by Reddit user u/Alur2020 that has hundreds of users salivating on the Reddit thread. Have a look below.
The first of two images for the design presents a sleek File Explorer that embraces Fluent Design concepts while maintaining a minimalist look. Key points include the usage of new icons, as well as tags in the pane on the left. As can be seen, this can be utilized to mark and color-code your files and folders, making them easier to spot and presumably, group.
Similarly, another noticeable feature is the addition of tabs, which not only enhances productivity-focused scenarios but also gives it a more browser-based feel which most users will be comfortable with adapting to. It is important to note that Microsoft announced Sets back in 2017, which was supposed to be a new idea for tabbed interfaces in Windows 10. However, the project was shelved in 2019 and doesn't seem to be a part of the Sun Valley update for the operating system later this year eithertoo, based on current information.
Other interesting tidbits include minimalist icons, as well as the settings and profile buttons on the top. Overall, the look is familiar but enhanced to increase productivity and general sleekness.
The second image deals with the UI you get when you open a folder. As can be seen, clicking on an item opens the options at the top where the user can decide what they want to do it with it. This uses the same minimalist icon design seen in the pane on the left.
Talking about the pane on the left, perhaps the most noticeable thing is nested folders. Essentially, users can click on a folder and get a view of the children folders in it. This is especially beneficial if you want to quickly shift between nested folders without having to go back to the root directory again and again.
Overall, the File Explorer user concept has received extremely positive response on Reddit with most lauding it as the best design that they have seen so far. With over 1,500 upvotes so far, many have also directed praise at how organized it looks and is not "blown up". Minor nitpicking is aimed at keeping the settings and profile buttons too close to the minimize button, but feedback has been generally positive and constructive so far.
It is important to note that while this is a user concept, it would be interesting to see if Microsoft takes inspiration from it and implement some of these features and UI enhancements at some point in the future, especially given the positive feedback seen so far.
