Lenovo Flex 5G 2-in-1 Launched With 24-Hour Battery Lenovo has launched its first 5G-capable laptop dubbed Lenovo Flex 5G announced at the CES 2020 under the name Yoga 5G. Where the laptop is one of its kind due to its 5G compatibility, it comes with a steep price tag and ordinary specifications that might be a turn off for many.

WhatsApp Launches Digital Payments, Starting from Brazil Facebook-owned WhatsApp is rolling out a major new feature for its users in Brazil.

This should prove to be convenient for both domestic users and small businesses. WhatsApp says that payments through the app are secure and require a 6-digit PIN or fingerprint confirmation to complete the transaction.
