There are not a lot of announcements scheduled for next week but it should still be a pretty interesting one. The two main ones are the launch of Motorola’s new Edge phone and the unveiling of Carl Pei’s new company.
Motorola Moto Edge S launch
Motorola has a launch scheduled for January 26 in China and it is for a new smartphone. The Lenovo-owned company plans to unveil the Motorola Edge S on that day. This is a big launch for Motorola as it is its first flagship phone in the country in a while and it will also be the first Snapdragon 870 phone in the world.
The phone is expected to launch with a large display that has an FHD+ resolution, a high refresh rate, quad rear cameras, and a massive 5000mAh battery. It should also be priced competitively.

Carl Pei’s new company
Carl Pei, the former OnePlus co-founder, also has a big announcement next week. The young entrepreneur revealed last week that he will unveil his new company on the 27th of January.
Mr. Pei has done a great job at keeping details of his new startup under wraps. The only thing we have learned is that the new company will deal in audio products. There have also been reports about early investors that include the popular YouTuber, Casey Neistat; Steve Huffman who is the CEO of Reddit; Tony Fadell who invented the iPod, and Kunal Shah, the founder of CRED.
Kunal Shah is reported to have said in a statement that he is sure the new consumer electronics company will be a disruptor in the tech industry. That sure sounds exciting and we can’t wait for Wednesday to be here.
