Now, we're getting what might be our first look at the phone to supersede that one — a Pixel 4a, if you will.
Read MoreThe Nokia 2.3 would've been a good 2020 burner phone if it weren't for microUSB
HMD Global is keeping up the pace on releasing new Nokia-branded Android smartphones (and TVs!) with yearly refreshes on its varied series ranging from the premium side to the penny-pinchers. For the most part, the new Nokia 2.3 brings progress for its most basic line of offerings, but as we're headed to 2020, there's one big thing about this phone that doesn't scream "future-proof": the microUSB connector.

Read MoreT-Mobile's new REVVLRY phones are basically just rebranded Moto G7s
T-Mobile has been pushing its own-brand budget smartphones under the REVVL banner for a couple of years now. In the process, the series has shuffled between ODMs going through the REVVL, REVVL Plus, the REVVL T1 tablet, and REVVL 2.

Read MoreLG's new W10, W30, W30 Pro aim to revitalize India's budget smartphone scene

Having a mental budget is all well and good, but if you don't actually know how much you've spent or if you don't get reminded that you're nearing or have surpassed your limit, then it's pointless. That's why the Play Store has begun rolling out a new budgeting feature.
