The Snapdragon 778G appears to be the new chipset of choice in the mid-range segment. Xiaomi, in typical fashion, however, could be set to bring the powerful 5G chipset to even more affordable phones in the near future. The Redmi Note 11 Pro could be a benefactor as well.

Samsung's latest foldable flagship the Galaxy Z Fold3 has already visited the JerryRigEverything YouTube studio for a gruelling test of its integrity.

Samsung has stuck with inward-folding displays in its latest flagships thus far.
