iQOO just unveiled its latest gaming smartphone in the form of the iQOO Neo3. It comes with a 6.5-inch 1080p 144Hz HDR 10-ready IPS LCD panel, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC coupled with up to 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage, a 4,500mAh battery that supports 44W wired charging, and more. The device will be available for purchase in China next week. Prices start at CNY 2698($380) for the base variant.

A recent leak concerning an alleged Redmi Pad 5G tablet depicted a very attractive device at an almost unbelievable price. A well-known tipster has taken a closer look at the leaked image and believes its contents are fake. The Redmi Pad 5G was billed to bring 5G connectivity, a Snapdragon 765G SoC, and 30 W fast charge for just 1,999 yuan (US$282).

Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 855+ last year as a better-performing refresh of the Snapdragon 855. There's unlikely to be a repeat with the Snapdragon 865, however, as an OEM exec has confirmed that Qualcomm will not release a Snapdragon 865+.

The OnePlus 8 Pro tops out at US$1000, and one would expect a problem-free user experience. Just like the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, however, the phone seems to suffer from a green tint display issue—albeit only on some units.

Meizu has issued a new media campaign in order to draw attention to the launch of its next premium phone, the 17 5G. It is based on an image that may or may not confirm an important aspect of the supposedly Snapdragon 865-powered device's design. The OEM does indeed seem to be banking on this aspect of the 17 to build sales.

Vivo-owned iQOO is all set to unveil its newest flagship in the form of the iQOO Neo 3. The device will come with a 4,500W battery that supports wired charging at 44W. It takes about an hour to charge the battery completely.

Coming in 11-inch and 12.4-inch variants, Samsung will pitch the Galaxy Tab S7 series as a direct competitor to Apple's fourth-generation iPad Pros. With an S-Pen included in the box and optional 5G, could the Galaxy Tab S7 and S7 Plus offer better value for money than the new iPad Pro range?

Motorola’s Edge+ full specifications and pricing have been leaked a day ahead of its launch. The first true flagship smartphone from the company in some time will come packed with high-end features at a high-end price.

US$1400 should get you the absolute best smartphone around, one would think. Apparently not, as the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra has made the trip over to DxOMark and mostly disappointed, with an overall score that places it outside the top five on the website's charts.

Xiaomi's last tablet was the Mi Pad 4 that was released back in 2018. That has left fans of the series in the lurch, making Samsung's Galaxy Tab and Huawei's MediaPad lines the only viable Android alternatives. Things may be about to change, however, as Xiaomi is rumored to launch a new tablet, the Redmi Pad 5G, next week.

OnePlus is a smartphone OEM with a tendency to focus on just 1 or 2 phones per launch. However, a new report from the Chinese media points to the possibility that it will expand its operation so as to release more new handsets per year. These devices, which are said to have either 5G or 4G, will be supplied by ODMs to keep costs down.

Contrary to some Korean sources that were previously claiming the S-Pen support would not be added to the Fold 2, the latest leaks point out that Samsung's S-Pens will indeed work with the upcoming foldable. Additionally, the inner screen is getting an upgraded 120 Hz panel and both outer and inner displays now feature punch-hole cameras.

Nubia has launched its latest smartphone, the Play, during an online event today (April 21, 2020). This Snapdragon 765G device has a 6.65-inch screen with a refresh rate of 144 hertz (Hz). It has 8GB of RAM and a solidly mid-range price.

The Poco F2 is coming, and it's touted to be rebranded Redmi K30 Pro. Interestingly, it's also said to eschew 5G support entirely, which could help Xiaomi keep the phone's pricing even below the already impressive Redmi K30 Pro. Perhaps, at US$400?`

OnePlus has slashed the prices of its 2019 flagships in India. The OnePlus 7T Pro will set you back by Rs. 47,999($626) instead of Rs. 53,999($704). Similarly, the OnePlus 7T's cost has dropped from Rs. 37,999($495) to Rs. 34,999($456). The offer is only valid on OnePlus India's official website.

The Sony Xperia 5 II is expected to be Sony's first true compact flagship phone since the Xperia XZ2 Compact that was released in 2018. The phone is touted to sport a display in the region of 5.7", and new concept renders by Dutch outlet LetsGoDigital paint a compelling picture.

LG has announced that it will launch a new smartphone called Velvet in 2020. It will be powered by a 5G-enabled Snapdragon 7-series processor, and is believed to replace the flagship G-range.

It has been rumored that Xiaomi has yet another Redmi K30 smartphone in the works. Apparently, the next phone in the pipeline will be a “lite” version of the current Redmi K30 5G. Known as the Redmi K30i, this latest device will differ from the regular Redmi K30 5G with its camera specifications and bargain price.

This year has already seen a (very) exclusive club of phones that pack notebook-grade 144 hertz (Hz) display refresh rates. Nubia has announced that the upcoming Play will be the next to join it. However, unlike its new co-members, it is a premium mid-ranger and not a flagship.

There have been rumors to the effect that Realme may update its X2 series of smartphones soon. Now, a new device that this OEM has had approved for sale in various regions is thought to be one of them. This possible X3 has a 6.57-inch display and a 4100mAh battery.

The iQOO Neo series' next generation is the 3, a phone touted to combine the highest-end of flagship phone specs at the lowest price.

The Huawei Nova 6 series launched in late 2019 with vanilla, SE and Pro variants. A new leak posted to Weibo indicates that the OEM will provide direct successors to all of them this year. These phones are also now said to have the same displays and Kirin processors as the Honor 30 series.

OPPO has made the A92s smartphone available for pre-order to customers in China. The midrange handset comes with a MediaTek Dimensity 800 5G processor, and it can be configured with either 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage or 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. OPPO is offering this 5G-capable Dimensity-wielding device from just 2,199 yuan (~US$311).

OnePlus has now launched the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro in its home country of China. Unsurprisingly, the phones cost quite a bit less than they do in the US. Over US$130 less, to be exact. That differential can be explained, though.

iQOO is currently setting its latest Neo-series smartphone up for launch on April 23, 2020. It has been through the AnTuTu benchmark beforehand, which reveals a decently high score as may be expected of a Snapdragon 865-powered device. It is also touted as having a 144Hz display, which may have come into play during this test.

New leaks point to the imminent debut of a new smartphone by OPPO called the PDKM00, or A92s. This device has also recently acquired renders that suggest quad rear cameras found in a square module. It may also have popped up on Geekbench 4 with a novel MediaTek processor that could be a mid-range Dimensity variant.

Some details have emerged online that shed light on Nokia's upcoming flagship. Nokia 9.3 PureView will reportedly come with a 120Hz screen, a 108MP camera sensor, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC. The phone doesn't have an official launch date just yet and is expected to drop later this year.

Additionally, the upcoming Galaxy Fold 2 will get a larger inner screen measuring almost 8 inch in diagonal and the reduced price is said to be Samsung's market adjustment measure due to expected declining sales in 2H 2020, which may also lead to reduced prices for the Note 20 and Galaxy S21 models.

International pre-orders for the earlier announced Nubia RedMagic 5G — successor to the RedMagic 3 and 3S — begin on the 4th of April, with the official release date set for the 21st of April.

Vivo's iQOO sub-brand makes the Neo series of smartphones: gaming-focused devices based on flagship-grade Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. Now, the company has announced its 3rd generation.

Recently, a leak that suggests Honor will follow Huawei's lead in adding a Pro+ variant to its 2020 flagship sprung. Now, a new Geekbench listing that may be for this very phone has appeared. It shows that the "Plus" model may run on the Kirin 990 SoC.

Sony released the Xperia XZ2 Compact back in 2018, and has failed to follow it up with a truly compact flagship phone, much to the chagrin of lovers of smaller-sized premium devices. That could be set to change, however.
