It’s easy to get sucked into videos from The Dodo, even when you’re not doom-scrolling about local COVID-19 case numbers. Maybe it starts with a clip about an emaciated stray dog who’s been rescued and is lovingly nursed back to health. Or maybe it’s the story of a dog and cat who defy convention and become cuddling best friends. In …

This story is part of Road Trip 2020, CNET’s series on how we’re preparing now for what could come next.

The original Razr V3 was two years old, and Moto was still riding a wave of excitement from the radically thin phone.

MWC 2019 is (mostly) about phones, so it makes sense that the show also has plenty of phone accessories. Cases, headsets and Bluetooth speakers are typical fare, but there’s more to see around Barcelona. Take the Lexon Oblio, which I found at a press event the night the show opened.
