First up, we’re previewing the three Galaxy S23 phones, now confirmed to debut on 1 February. Extensive leaks have given us a pretty good idea of what to expect, with minimalist designs, camera upgrades, and a custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 inside. Meanwhile, Nothing has begun selling the Phone (1) in the US half a year after it launched in the rest of the world. Well, kinda – this is officially a ‘beta membership’ to test the phone’s version of Android 13, but you have to pay $299 and they give you a phone, so it sounds a lot like putting it on sale to us. But is this something special or a raw deal for consumers? And finally, Dom has had the chance to try out the Snapdragon-powered, Android-running Razer Edge gaming handheld, and has his thoughts on the hardware ready ahead of the official US launch, which is now just a couple weeks away. And then a bit of sad news: this will be the final Fast Charge – for now at least. After 140 episodes it felt like the right time to retire the show, but we’ll be sticking around on YouTube and making great videos as often as we can, so stay subscribed and keep an eye out for what’s next. You can watch the whole show in the YouTube player above. Alternatively, if you’d rather listen than watch, then subscribe to Fast Charge on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. If you have any thoughts or opinions on today’s line-up, let us know in the YouTube comments or via Twitter – we’d love to discuss them on the show.
