Your Amazfit Active 2 might have been lying about your workouts, but not anymore
The Amazfit Active 2 is now getting a new software update – version 6.1.20.3 – just a few weeks after the last one (6.1.20.2), which took care of some map-related bugs. This time around, the update tackles an annoying problem tied to Strength Training workouts.
Some users had been reporting that after finishing a workout, the watch didn't save the new session – instead, it weirdly showed details from the previous one. Not ideal when you are trying to track your gains.
Thankfully, according to the release notes, that bug is now squashed. So if you use Strength Training mode, this update should fix your logging headaches.

Up to 10 days battery life
Free Zepp app with health and fitness tracking insights And while most people don't expect great support from budget-friendly devices, Amazfit has been regularly pushing out updates and bug fixes, which is honestly refreshing.Compared to something like the CMF Watch Pro 2, which is even cheaper at $69, the Active 2 is a clear winner on overall value.

Motorola is giving new clothes to its Edge 60 Fusion mid-ranger
Motorola announced the Edge 60 Fusion back in April, and the phone is already available for purchase in many markets around the globe. Currently, the Edge 60 Fusion is available in four PANTONE flavors: Slipstream, Amazonite, Mykonos Blue, and Zephyr. However, the US- based handset maker plans to launch an additional color option for the Edge 60 Fusion: PANTONE Mocha Mousse. It's the same color Motorola used for the much more expensive Razr 50 Ultra and Razr+ 2024, as well as for the Edge 50 Neo. Keep in mind that depending on the market, some of these colors might not be available, but it's probably safe to assume that Motorola will want to make the new Mocha Mousse color option for the Edge 60 Fusion available in as many markets as possible. Fun fact: Mocha Mousse was declared the Color of the Year 2025. It remains to be seen when exactly Motorola will bring the Mocha Mousse-colored Edge 60 Fusion to market, but the recently leaked high-resolution picture confirms its existence. Motorola Edge 60 Fusion is a bit of a disappointment, especially if you're a fan of the brand. The phone doesn't bring too many improvements over similarly priced phones from last year, such as the Motorola Edge 50 Neo or Edge 50 Fusion. Motorola Edge 60 Fusion in PANTONE Mocha Mousse color | Image credit: The only upgrade over the two phones that's worth mentioning is the slightly bigger 5,200 / 5,500 mAh battery. Other than that, the Edge 60 Fusion seems to be a phone that should not exist. Motorola Edge 60 Fusion at first glance : Display : 6.67-inch pOLED, 120Hz refresh : 6.67-inch pOLED, 120Hz refresh Chipset : MediaTek Dimensity 7300 (Global), MediaTek Dimensity 7400 (India) : MediaTek Dimensity 7300 (Global), MediaTek Dimensity 7400 (India) Memory : 8/12 GB : 8/12 GB Storage : 256/512 GB : 256/512 GB Rear camera : 50MP main, 13MP ultra-wide : 50MP main, 13MP ultra-wide Front camera : 32MP : 32MP Battery : 5200mAh (Global), 5500mAh (India) : 5200mAh (Global), 5500mAh (India) OS : Android 15 The Edge 60 Fusion is facing tough competition, especially in India where Nothing recently introduced the CMF Phone 2 Pro, a mid-ranger that's better than Motorola's in just about every way. Not to mention that it's much cheaper than the Edge 60 Fusion. Other notable competitors for the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion are the Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G, Oppo Reno 12, Realme 14 Pro, and even Nothing's CMF Phone 1.
