It was in 1998 when Sony had to recall one of its camcorders for spectacular infrared features that could finally see through clothing. It is the year 2020, on an evening in May, when the editors of AndroidPIT thought the well-deserved end of work had come. No one would have associated that May night with any day from 1998. Until Shu sent us a photo. It shows a sheet of paper with the inconspicuous letters “Freakish androidpit.de /com /fr”. The sheet of paper decorates his naked skin – which is actually dressed in a t-shirt. Wait… what?

A little bit of something but not quite everything: the Samsung Galaxy S20+ or S20 Plus was released in early March this year and happens to reside as the intermediate model within Samsung’s latest flagship range.
