OPPO is now said to have a third-gen foldable Android flagship with a potentially significant camera upgrade in the works. The "Find N3" could thus emerge more powerful than many other top-end devices in these terms, and make it one of a very small handful of devices in its category with the same spec. The device could emerge looking a lot like its conventional counterpart, the Find X6 Pro.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra debuted last week with new cameras and performance hardware.

Honor will unleash its Magic5 line of devices as potential Samsung Galaxy S23 series rivals at MWC 2023.

Oppo has unveiled the Reno8 T and Reno8 T 5G, the sole members of the Reno8 T series. Despite having similar names, the pair share barely any components, other than a few cameras. Both are firmly mid-range smartphones, though.

The Vivo X90 Pro Plus may offer sparkling camera hardware on paper, with a 50 MP and 1-inch primary camera, as well as two high-resolution telephoto sensors.

A hands-on image with an alleged Xperia 1 V has surfaced online. While the overall concept of the Xperia 1 series remains unchanged, with its elongated form factor, the leaked photo suggests that Sony has revamped its rear-facing camera offering for this year's Xperia 1 V.

The new type of Apple flagship is also projected to debut with periscope zoom lenses; however, if there are those looking forward to an iPhone 16 Pro with the same spec, they can apparently forget it. Keeping the feature exclusive to the "16 Ultra" is predicted to make suppliers as unhappy as consumers through to 2024.

A popular tech tipster has offered up 10 differences between the two flagships that arguably leave the S23 Ultra looking like a better buy even at the higher price.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra is one of the most powerful smartphones on the market, with Samsung and Qualcomm partnering to deliver a higher-clocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra is also able to outperform other Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered handsets in the same benchmark.

Realme has popped the "Cola-Phone" leak bubble with the announcement that it will indeed release a new special edition of the 10 Pro 5G.

The Phantom X2 Pro is Tecno's first Android smartphone with a mechanical telephoto lens for a 50MP camera.
