Sony's new SRS-XE300 and SRS-XE200 wireless speakers are portable tower-style accessories not unlike many others in their market. However, their OEM asserts that they have an edge over this competition thanks to its new Line-Shape Diffuser. It is designed to push the new X-Series variants' sound out over a wider area in front of them.

Although it is already June and the May security patch has been around for a while, the MIUI 13.0.6 Global Stable software update for the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro only includes the April security patch. As its description shows, this 262 MB software package does not bring any other noticeable changes.

Specifications, official renders, and European pricing has leaked for the Moto G62, another 5G handset within the Motorola Moto G series. While the Moto G62 5G should outperform the Moto G52, Motorola has not equipped it with the Snapdragon 695 5G chipset also found in the Moto G82 5G. Instead, the Moto G62 5G relies on an improved version of the Snapdragon 480.

Xiaomi has certified several upcoming smartphones with the 3C in China, thought to be the Xiaomi 12S, Xiaomi 12S Pro, Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 and Xiaomi 12 Ultra. For some reason, the flagships will only support 67 W fast charging, but the Xiaomi 12 Ultra could arrive with some unique colour options, albeit without Leica's infamous logo.

AnTuTu has released its Android smartphone performance rankings for May 2022 by market tier. Of these, the sub-flagship segment has seen a lot of new releases in the same month. A selection of them now occupy the entire top 5 for their category, all of which have the same new SoC.

The results of a new study conducted in 2022 can be used to conclude that smartphone use-frequency among adults based in the United States has increased by about 366% compared to that measured three years ago.

A new list has now revealed what Xiaomi phones will receive the Android 13 update later this year. Dozens of devices make the cut, with most of them having being released over the past eighteen months or thereabouts.

Hands-on photos of the Pixel 7 Pro have surfaced, months before the device's launch. Reputedly of a prototype unit, the leak confirms Google and Samsung's continued collaboration over Pixel smartphones, with the GS201 chipset set to use the Exynos Modem 5300 from the Exynos 2200. Also, it seems that the Pixel 7 Pro has the same cameras as the Pixel 6 Pro.

Some devices from the smartphone company Vivo (and its sub-brand iQOO) already support some of the fastest charging rates in the Android market. Now, a famous leaker indicates that it will upgrade to even faster, 200 watt (W) technology soon. This may involve a power brick that is also compatible with current flagships.

According to reports, Samsung has already started mass-producing the Galaxy Z Fold4. Rumoured to be launching this autumn, the Galaxy Z Fold4 is also now thought to contain an improved Under Panel Camera (UPC), along with a narrower hinge design than the Galaxy Z Fold3 has.

The Axon 40 Ultra is one of 2022's very few premium Android smartphones that moves beyond the typical central punch-hole selfie camera with ZTE's latest under-display camera (or UDC) instead. Now, its maker has confirmed that it will become available on the global market in June 2022.

According to a renowned leaker, Xiaomi has settled on the Redmi K50 Ultra as one of its first devices to launch with the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. Xiaomi already sells the Redmi K50 Gaming with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but the Redmi K50 Ultra should deliver superior power efficiency and improved performance.

iQOO has announced the launch of a smartphone called the Neo6 5G for the Indian market. However, it is not the same as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered device that debuted in China earlier in 2022.

It might come as a surprise to many tech fans that Letv is back in the mobile devices market; however, the design of its comeback model, the Y1 Pro, will probably be less of one. The new smartphone has dual rear cameras in an oddly familiar layout, as well as a notch that seems mostly cosmetic, and a platform from Unisoc rather than Apple.

The Xiaomi 12 Ultra is now said to be its OEM's first-gen flagship with Leica-branded rear cameras. Now, it is also now a top candidate for a cutting-edge liquid lens to the set-up in question. This second-gen component is now believed to have upgraded functions compared to the original found in the Mix Fold.

The Google app is now rumored to add a feature called "Personal Speech Recognition" in the course of a future update. It is slated to help the OEM's Assistant to respond better to words or names uttered most frequently by the user - however, this requires that the same user allows the AI to record their voice on their device.

The Find X5 Lite from Oppo falls into the upper mid-range class. However, it lacks several features that make up a smartphone in this price segment. We found the Find X5 Lite's haptics in particular to be a point of criticism...

Honor has launched the 70 (or 70 5G) alongside its Pro and Pro Plus siblings. All three Android smartphones have been unveiled with the same updated design and new Sony IMX800 main rear camera. However, slight compromises have been made with this freshly-debuted vanilla mid-ranger.

According to reports, Xiaomi is preparing to release the Redmi 11, which could arrive as soon as next month. With a Dimensity 700 chipset, a 90 Hz display and a 5,000 mAh battery, the Redmi 11 could be a rebranded Redmi 10 5G.

Honor has presented the Honor 70 series, which starts with the Honor 70 Pro and Honor 70 Pro Plus. Both available with MediaTek Dimensity hardware, the Honor 70 Pro and Honor 70 Pro Plus share identical cameras, displays and battery capacities. Overseas launches are 'still TBD' at this stage.

Sony may have equipped the Xperia 1 IV with three 12 MP rear-facing cameras, but HWiNFO appears to tell a different story. In fact, the Xperia 1 IV not only borrows from the Huawei P30 Pro, but also from the Xperia 1 II and Xperia 1 III.

The entire Galaxy Z Fold4 spec sheet has been leaked online. It will pack a Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 SoC, 50 MP + 12 MP + 12 MP triple rear cameras, a 16 MP under-display selfie camera, up to 512 GB of storage and a 4,500 mAh battery that supports 25 W fast charging.

OPPO released its first foldable smartphone in 2021, and is now projected to add a second generation of the same device, as well as a first-gen clamshell alternative, in 2022.

Carl Pei's Nothing has remained vague on the subject of a debut for its inaugural Android smartphone.

It is also now slated to start at a mid-range price - on the European market, at least.

The upcoming iOS 16 update will finally enable always-on display (AOD) functionality, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. However, the AOD feature will only make it to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max as they are touted to sport LTPO displays that can potentially refresh as low as once per minute similar to the newer Apple Watch models.

It consists of the re-wording of a reassuring page many users may recognize as part of the UI furniture.

Samsung had reportedly planned to have as much as 310 million smartphones made in 2022. However, according to the latest word from production insiders, that figure is now down to as little as 280 million. The reduction in orders, linked to the ongoing war in Ukraine and a reduction in demand worldwide, is expected to hit the OEM's suppliers hard in 2022.

Sporting a massive 8,380 mAh battery with 33 W fast charge and a MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor, the Blackview BL8800 and BL8800 Pro are only set apart by the cameras on the back. While the BL8800 comes with a night vision image snapper, its Pro sibling features a FLIR thermal imaging camera.

Infinix has launched its Note 12 series for the Indian market via the medium of new Flipkart listings, complete with a tie-in to the new Doctor Strange movie.

Realme has announced a new, top-end version of its GT Neo 3, for release during the OEM's ongoing anniversary event.

The OEM's latest YouTube ad depicts the creation of the 616 square-meter cat-pic chosen for this purpose. Its ability to retain feline detail to the tune of about 200 megapixels (MP) is hyped in this new campaign.
