HTC has released an outline of its latest earnings. This performance pertains to February 2020, and shows that the company's revenues are down nearly 33% year-on-year (YoY). Similarly, the OEM's total revenues have decreased by ~45% compared to the first 2 months of 2019.

It seems a stable release of Android 10 has started arriving on Pocophone F1 smartphones around the world.

Android 10 on the Mi Mix 3 has been a long time coming, with Xiaomi first releasing a beta build for the device way back in October.

The Black Shark 3's 64 MP camera looks to be combining four such images into one resulting in massive file sizes and long processing times.

It is an outside possibility that the phone in question could be of the Note 9 series.

A new listing for "Mi True Wireless Earphones 2S" has appeared on the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) website. Based on this name, it seems that Xiaomi has a new TWS product on the way. However, the image that goes with their new apparent certification looks like one that is already on the market.

The UNISOC T7520 mid-range SoC also is the world's first chip to integrate a dual-5G modem with NR TDD+FDD carrier aggregation. Thanks to the improved 6 nm manufacturing process, UNISOC aims to lower the price point for 5G-enabled handsets.

The iPhone SE 2, iPhone 9 or iPhone (2020), whatever it ends up being called, has apparently reached the final stage of its development.

The spiritual successor to the iPhone SE is still expected to launch at the end of this month.

ARM has not even finalized production for the Cortex-A78 cores and Huawei already plans to include them in this year's Kirin 1020 SoC powering the mate 40 flagships? A rather unlikely scenario considering all the problems the U.S. government is trying to create for Huawei right now.

Following on from yesterday's report that OnePlus will announce its next suite of devices next month, a new rumour claims that the OnePlus 8 series will start at just £400 (~US$510). Additionally, the OnePlus 8 Pro, the premier of the three handsets, will support not only dual-band 5G and 30 W wireless charging, but also 30 W wireless charging. The OnePlus 8 series may not hit most markets until July, though.

Android 10 is here for the Redmi Note 7 Pro. We would recommend holding off for the time being though, as the build will likely contain a few bugs. The first Android 10 build for the Redmi Note 7 Pro comes just a few days after Xiaomi pushed Android 10 to the Redmi Note 8 Pro, too.

Windows Central has delivered some good, and potentially bad, news for those who are waiting for Microsoft to release the Surface Duo, its de facto smartphone comeback. The dual-screen and Android 10-powered handset will apparently arrive much earlier than expected, but with last year's hardware.
