Xiaomi has kicked off the POCO X6 series, of which the POCO X6 Pro 5G is currently the series' top model. The POCO X6 Pro 5G has a 120 Hz AMOLED display and a powerful chipset, plus an optically stabilised camera and a large battery capacity, among other features.

Xiaomi has premiered the POCO X6 globally, a new mid-range handset based around Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset. While the POCO X6 shares most of its hardware with the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, Xiaomi has sought to distinguish the pair in a few areas.

Back in 2021, it was reported to debut as a 3 nm SoC. But at the current stage, that is very unlikely for Huawei due to the trade restrictions in place.

Hollyland claims to have packed all the tech for a "top level consumer-grade" lavalier- or lapel-style microphone into an "all-in-one button" with its latest Lark-series release.

Things are not as they seem in smartphone photography. Google's budget Pixel 7a beats the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro, and Sony's "camera-with-a-phone-strapped-to-it" Xperia 1 V performs abysmally.

The leading processor manufacturer for smartphones unveiled the Snapdragon XR2+ chip, which will be utilised in mixed and virtual reality headsets produced by Google and Samsung.

Rumors of Huawei using camera hump styles also associated with its mid-range smartphones for its next-gen camera-phone flagships have been effectively dismissed in a new tip from a typically knowledgeable source. The leaker seems to regard the 'actual' P70 rear panel design as the more innovative option, although some other mobile device brands might disagree.

Now available in India and parts of Europe, the X100 and X100 Pro deviate from many recent flagships by relying upon MediaTek silicon and not the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

AnTuTu's latest performance chart lists the OnePlus 12 as the best-performing Android device in the world. A closer look at the numbers says otherwise, however, with the Vivo X100 and its MediaTek 9300 outperforming the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in both the CPU and GPU tests.
