OnePlus has confirmed that there will be two variants of the OnePlus 10R, underlining that the handset is another version of the Realme GT Neo 3. The OnePlus 10R will launch in India on April 28, exactly a week after the OnePlus Ace debuts in China.

It appears that the Moto G 5G (2022) and Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) are the same device but intended for different markets. Accordingly, the Moto G 5G (2022) will launch with a Snapdragon 695 SoC and stylus support, among other features.

The Vivo X80 appears to be close to release, following in the footsteps of the X Fold and X Note. Based on a Google Play Console listing, the Vivo X80 will have a 1080p display, a Dimensity 9000 SoC and 8 GB of RAM, plus a curved display.

OnePlus has confirmed the launch date of the Ace, a smartphone that will debut in at least two colours. The OnePlus Ace will arrive with three rear-facing cameras, a ribbed design and an iPhone 13-style design. However, the OnePlus Ace may be a Chinese exclusive.

Vivo is tipped to launch an X80 Pro as a flagship alternative to its new, premium X Note phablet. Now, the allegedly imminent new phone has reportedly been captured in a photo that seems to prove that it can take clear and bright shots of things in near-total darkness. Meanwhile, the rear cameras reportedly responsible for this achievement may have been snapped in the wild.

Motorola has been spotted updating its Moto G200 5G to a newer version of Android. The update has only rolled out to units of this competitive mid-ranger in Europe thus far, although it is said to expand to additional markets soon. The G200's users should thus expect an upgrade to features such as the Material You UI, re-done widgets and system shortcuts.

Realme has announced that it has a new limited-edition, Free Fire-themed version of the 9 Pro Plus in the works. The new variant - which seems to involve a very different color scheme compared to the original - is scheduled to launch in Thailand soon, although there are rumors of its becoming involved in other regions thereafter.

iQOO now brings the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor to the Android smartphone market in the form of the Neo6. It also benefits from a 120Hz AMOLED display and top-end 80W Flash Charge SuperVOOC charging - all for as little as 2,799 yuan (~US$440) in its native China.

Samsung has presented the Galaxy M53 5G, but without revealing how much the handset will cost. Now, third parties have filled the void, and may have confirmed a second memory configuration in the process.

The OnePlus 10R is edging towards a release, even if it is nothing more than a re-branded Realme GT Neo 3. While the OnePlus 10R may be exclusive to India, leaks have confirmed that the device will arrive in China as the OnePlus Ace.

A new leak has now revealed details of what appears to be the OPPO Reno8. The mid-range phone looks set to be the first device on the market with the upcoming Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, while also packing a slew of solid hardware.

The high-octane iQOO Neo series of Android smartphones is slated to get a new flagship very soon. However, the brand has decided to drop a teaser previewing a potentially crucial spec ahead of this event. It seems the Neo6 can add top-end charging to its arsenal of gaming properties.

Sony's Xperia 1 III, Xperia 5 III, and Xperia Pro-I phones offer a complete flagship package and worthy competition for even the best that Samsung and Apple have to offer. While Sony eschews unnecessary trends like a 108 MP camera, it maintains support for legacy connectors and sticks to a tried-and-true design.

Motorola has unveiled the Moto G52, a mid-range smartphone that relies on the Snapdragon 680 chipset. The Moto G52 has a 50 MP primary camera too, along with a 5,000 mAh battery and an AMOLED display that can operate at up to 90 Hz.

RedMagic has launched the 7 Pro in several regions worldwide today (April 12, 2022). The gaming phone's new global edition boasts most of the latest performance boosts the brand has to offer, an under-display camera (UDC) for its AMOLED display included. On the other hand, it is missing some features from its top-end SKUs, which match even the iPhone 13 series in certain ways.

Xiaomi has officially announced that it will unveil the Xiaomi 12 Pro in India later this month. It will be presented on April 27 via an online launch event. The vanilla Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12X are unlikely to be launched alongside the Pro version.

OnePlus has stated that the upcoming OnePlus 10R will pack a MediaTek Dimensity 8000 chipset. Rumour has it that it will share most of its innards with the Realme GT Neo 3, including two different battery specs. OnePlus is expected to launch the smartphone on April 28.

After releasing the OnePlus 10 Pro with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, OnePlus looks set to bring the vanilla model of the flagship phone—the OnePlus 10—to the market. Supposedly, a Q2 launch is on the cards, and the phone will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset.

Earlier reports tipping Samsung to launch the Galaxy S22 FE later this year with a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 running things have now been called into doubt. No such plan exists, it appears, and the Galaxy S22 FE will debut with Snapdragon and/or Exynos silicon.

Vivo has just debuted its Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-based flagship smartphone for 2022; now, according to a new leak, a MediaTek Dimensity 9000-powered alternative is on the way. This X80 Pro's design has allegedly leaked in full for the first time, alongside its launch date and a confirmation of integrated Zeiss technology for its rear cameras.

Realme has hinted that it will launch a new generation of its Q-series Android smartphones soon. Not only is this line rumored to be in line for top-end charging at mid-range pricing, it is also now linked to a tie-in with the footwear brand Vans. The "new Q's" Pro variant has allegedly emerged in a render with a finish evoking a classic pattern also associated with these shoes.

Vivo has unveiled the X Note, a cheaper alternative to the X Fold. The Vivo X Note has a 7-inch display, Qualcomm's latest flagship SoC and impressive camera hardware. The X Note starts at CNY 5,999 (~US$943) in China and will be available in three memory configurations.

Vivo has announced the X Fold, its first foldable smartphone. Arguably one of the most exciting foldable smartphones to date, the Vivo X Fold has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, an advanced LTPO OLED folding display and flagship-grade cameras. The Vivo X Fold contains other compelling features too, including support for up to 50 W wireless charging.

According to new rumours, Xiaomi is preparing to release the Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G with a combination of parts from the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE and the Xiaomi 12X. Tipped to arrive with the Snapdragon 778G, the Xiaomi 12 Lite is thought to contain the same rear-facing cameras as its predecessor too.

MediaTek has announced the Dimensity 1300, a 6 nm SoC expected to debut in the OnePlus Nord 2T. The mid-range chipset relies on ARM Cortex-A78 CPU cores and supports up to 200 MP cameras, among other features.

OnePlus has now officially announced a launch event scheduled for April 28 in India. The company only claims an "array of OnePlus devices" will debut at the event, but all available information points towards those being the Nord Buds, OnePlus 10R, and Nord CE 2 Lite.

It seems that Xiaomi is preparing to release the Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus in China, just a few months after introducing their predecessors. Reputedly, the pair will launch globally not as Redmi Note smartphones but under the POCO X4 series instead. For some reason, this will not be the case in India, where Xiaomi will sell the Redmi Note 12 Pro as the Xiaomi 12X and POCO X4 GT.

Predominantly, the Oppo Find X5 Pro draws on premium hardware and a great camera setup. Many test results are outstanding, but there are some shortcomings. Ultimately, price will play an important role in a decision to purchase this phone.

OnePlus is set to join the big leagues with the launch of its first foldable phone this year. Supposedly, this foldable will be based on the OPPO Find N, a China-exclusive device that launched to a very positive reception months ago.

Some recent leaks have pointed to Sony IMX "800-" (and "900-") series cameras that will grace the high-end Android phones of the near future. Now, a famous tipster claims to outline how one of these next-gen 50MP sensors will improve on its alleged 766 predecessor. Its alleged specs imply scope for upgraded low-light performance and image quality compared to existing CMOS.

After a long wait, Android 12 arrived on the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro in Europe (and other regions, since the update is a global one) as MIUI 13.0.2. The update package has 3.3 GB in size and includes quite a few changes and fixes, but also packs new bugs and compatibility issues (Xiaomi's popular app Poco Launcher is also a victim).

OnePlus has indicated that it will launch its first ever phone with ground-breaking 150 watt (W) charging technology soon. Now, images that purport to show this device in the wild for the first time have emerged. Meanwhile, one of the OEM's employee may have confirmed that it will debut with a new and unexpected product name by accident.

Calling Oppo's Find X5 an insider tip would be a bit presumptuous in view of its 1000 euro (US$ 1230) price. On the other hand, buyers get a high-end smartphone that, with a strong camera and a fast Snapdragon 888, only differs in a few details from the Find X5 Pro, which costs another 300 Euros (US$ 325).

The Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro still do not have face unlock, six months after they were released. That may be set to change shortly, though, as a Pixel 6 owner has revealed sighting of a face unlock option in their phone's settings.

RedMagic has confirmed that the top-end variant of its 7 flagship smartphone series is coming to international markets in April 2022. Furthermore, it is bringing its first-gen under-display camera (UDC) tech with it. This, according to the OEM, makes the 7 Pro a "next-level gaming beast".

Google will soon allow iFixit to sell replacement OEM parts for Pixel smartphones. Starting with the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, the repair initiative will include 'common Pixel repairs' like batteries, cameras and displays.

A new set of leaked images allegedly showing the rear panel for a pre-production smartphone may have been taken at the factory in which it is currently being made. Its appearance might put many tech fans in mind of devices from OnePlus or Realme; however, according to 91Mobiles, it actually belongs to an upcoming Samsung product that will help complete the Galaxy M series in 2022.

According to reports, Samsung has no plans to bring in-display or ultrasonic fingerprint scanners to next-generation Galaxy Z devices. Instead, the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Z Flip4 will maintain capacitive fingerprint scanners built into their power buttons.

The Xiaomi 12 Ultra is almost definitely on the way. The Xiaomi Mix 5 series, however, may have been ditched, as a new report appears to indicate that Xiaomi has now cancelled plans to release the phones.

A new leak now reports that Samsung is set to equip the Galaxy Z Fold4 with the same 108 MP camera on the Galaxy S22 Ultra. This comes after reports earlier in the week touted the phone to also adopt the 3x zoom lens on the Galaxy S22 phones.

Motorola has announced that the Moto G22 will be released to the Indian market soon. The affordable new Android smartphone will bring the same 90Hz IPS display, 4G/LTE-only MediaTek processor and 5,000mAh battery that it launched with in Europe with it later in April. However, it does have one upgraded spec compared to units from its existing market.

The Redmi K50 debuted a few weeks ago as the first Dimensity 8100-powered device on the market. The Dimensity 8100 has put up stellar performances in synthetic benchmarks so far, and it appears to also be one of the best chipsets for mobile gaming as well, as it manages to outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Apple M1 in an Apex Legends Mobile test.

The Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G has appeared at various certification bodies, including the EEC and FCC. Not only do they point to the device's impending global release, but they also provide a few new specifications and details, including its memory configurations.

Vivo will be unveiling the X Fold on April 11, its first foldable smartphone. In the meantime, suspected official pricing has leaked, as has evidence showing a second colourway and how the device's two fingerprint scanners work.

OnePlus is slated to launch its first ever Dimensity 8100-powered Android smartphone soon. This device has been thought to debut as the Nord 3; however, according to an eminent leaker on Weibo, it is to get a re-brand. Accordingly, the new phone - also thought to introduce 150W charging to OnePlus fans - may emerge as a new generation of a performance-focused series formerly associated with the OEM'S parent OPPO.

An official-looking teaser poster has leaked online for the Xiaomi 12 Ultra, rumoured to be the company's next flagship smartphone. While the poster looks the part, a renowned leaker has their doubts and has called it out as a fake.

Realme has started selling the C31 in Europe. Packing a 5,000 mAh battery and a Unisoc T612 SoC, the Realme C31 also has four cameras and is available in two colours. The Realme C31 starts at €139.99 with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage.
